Those who shall not be named

Day 1,105, 10:38 • Published in Bulgaria Ukraine • by chebbba


It's quite popular recently to complain about multies. I won't be the one, I'm sorry 🙂
I think any game you play supposed to bring some fun to you, so this article was written to make you laugh.



They were always with us. Silent guardians, fearless defenders, true friends. People come and go, nations die and raise, but they stay with you no matter what. So this article is devoted to those who shall be named 🙂 More importantly, it's about how they are named in different countries all over the world.

Russia
As you might have noticed, Russia was always known as a country with a high percentage of multies. Not just "hand-made" multies, but "hi-tech" multies, those who were not managed with help of TOR and those kind of software, but were managed with self-written programm which even a russian coder-amateur can do. Anyway, Russia (whatever you may think of it) doesn't consist only of multie-supporters, but also of those who are against it and constantly make fun of those who are not able to achieve smth by their own. If memory serves me right, there were 3 "names" for multies in Russia:
1. Friends or Brothers
This one is easy, I guess this name is pretty common in every country.
2. Siberians.
Some time ago, when political struggle in Russia was at it's peak, people weren't afraid to use all dirty methods they could to make their candidate win elections (be it Presidental or Congress elections). More importantly, it was an individual act, that's why people started to rage. The main reason for raging was actual timing of voting: it appeared that most of the votes for some candidate were at late night, when citizens of Moscow are usually sleeping. The official explanation of those who were blamed for using multies was "those who live in Siberia were voting for me!!11oneone". That's why people started to name multies "siberians" or "silent siberians".
3. Igor
This one is my favorite. Recently one guy published an article with a screenshot of someone with a nickname like "Igor2335" who was fighting in a battle. And there were plenty of "igor's" there. Also Igor was the helper of Frankenstein 🙂


Bulgaria
As usual, when a country gets a babyboom it also gets it's multie-makers. There are 2 names for them: мултаци or мултигруп мафиоти.
Мултаци is just a direct translation of "multies" in Bulgarian, as for мултигруп мафиоти... Мултигруп was an infamous bulgarian corporation from the recent past which had shady dealings with the bulgarian mafia (yes, there is one 😃), so multies in Bulgaria got its name from RL history of Bulgaria 🙂


Portugal
Even in Portugal (which is hardly known for its bot-makers) there is a funny name for them: clolnes, which is, as you might have understood already, is a derivative of clones+lol.

Poland
Here my knowledge are quite limited, so I rely on those whom I asked about the issue. So there were times when some guy was hacking eR in the v2. And there were made tons of multies, all of them called smth that translates as "cross defenders" or, in original polish variant, "wlasnie padlo 300 krzyzy ze szpitala" (300 crosses from the hospital have just died). So to say, those who had to cross the hospital 🙂

Spain
In this country versions of multies rely on its quite popular "friends" usual naming, so in Spain you can usually hear smth like "amigos", "hamijos" or plain "multies". Same for Italy, they go with simple "amico".

Hungary (thanks to Quicksilver for an addition)
In Hungarian, they call multies faeke. It comes from the word fake, which pronounced almost like faeke in Hungarian, which means 'wooden plough'. This name is a constant source of humour in the Hun media:

Serbia (thx to Kistru)
Serbians go with relative-naming Rodjaci which means cousin in English 🙂

Ukraine (thx to Sankyou)
One ukranian guy once sent a ticket in really bad English and made a typo naming bots as "boats". Since then they name our dear multies "boats".

That's all for now. If you have any additional info, feel free to share 🙂 I'll add it to my article.
