When Iiley was telling me about this new MegaBot he was building, and sending me scores against SandboxDT, the dev version didn't have a finalized name yet, and it was called "Van". The day I proposed to Iiley that we really release this bot, he had just figured out what "Van" means in English (in his words, "a big [car auction]"). Since BlestPain and this bot (which was named "CigarQwhgads?" at the time) were similar bots conceptually, I suggested naming it after a smaller car, possibly "coupe" (which is usually a small, 2-door, sporty car), or "Sedan" (its eventual name). Iiley knew "Sedan" as a town in France, I explained to him that a Sedan is a medium-sized car, usually with 4 doors. He seemed to find the prospect of a robot named after a "car with 4 doors" after he accidentally named his dev robot after "a big car" extremely hilarious. So we settled on that. |
