:D I think this guy is in puberty, considering he choose Clare, and then EllenPage as his aliases :D It seems also that he's a Boxer fan. I love him by the way, ever since I saw him in Hyung Joon series, he's kind of funny :D Maybe Emperor Apprentice will be a good title for him  I guess I will call him that if he managed to be in the final :DOh, and is he going to join Prime? I would love if it's true ... | ||

So you said the same thing twice for both foxers. Fauxer gets the point of being fake boxer directly across within the name itself. That is something that I've never seen in an word before. Have you? But hey let's be boring and continue switching letters because it's simple. I'd rather be simple than incorrect. There is no relation to Boxer with Fauxer. Other than the -er ending. What is Fauxer? Or right False-er. It doesn't make sense and its a mutation of a french word to fit a pun. You being over dramatic because you think Fauxer is witty when it is not. | ||

Which would actually be pronounce IDD-ruh Yeah, the funny thing about that is that Idra says IDD-ruh and even the guys who talk to him directly don't pick up on it. | ||

Faux makes a "Foe" sound, don't be silly. People think "Fauxer" is cool because it adds unnecessary letters. The same line of reasoning used to come up with horrible "Elite" gamer ids and fantasy character names. Don't do this. | ||

I'm on the Fauxer team, but I don't believe Fauxer is going to accomplish that either. I doubt the Koreans will understand the name, but so be it. Optimus would be insanely cool if he joins Prime, though. | ||

I like Foxer more because the name works with or without the boxer reference. His play focuses on highly mobile army compositions that could be described as "agile" like a fox. His rax placement is also kinda sneaky. I don't want to support someone who wants to be like boxer, I want to support someone who wants to be better than boxer. I don't like Fauxer because it looks awkward and I would pronounce it like "Fawkser." Maybe the play on words is cute, but I don't think the name stands as well as Foxer. It is interesting to me that it is so evenly split between the two options and that people have very strong opinions about which name is the "right" one. Guess we'll see what he decides. Regardless of what he calls himself, I love his attitude and enthusiasm and will cheer him on in the future. | ||

This is exactly it, the only people that actually think Fauxer is a good idea are the people that name themselves XxAragornxXChaosXLegolasXxxxXxXGimliXxxXxxEvilXxXXsEphirothXxXDemOnXxxxXxvAmPiReXxXxx and then think they look cool. | ||

Yes because Koreans all know French so they are totally going to get that. By the way faux is a French word, so that's another reason not to use that name because the French are horrible. Optimus would actually be a perfect name too as he's in Prime. | ||
