In Response To: on The Player (MrHen) : Yeah, that makes sense. The reason I tend to dislike "The Player"
"The player" is a perfectly valid literary term, just as "the narrator" would be for a first-person novel. Almost any other name you could call him* by would have some element of speculation and assumption. Even "the Security Officer" makes the subjective assertion that that job was a defining aspect of his character. (Although I guess that is how we're first introduced to him, via the M1 manual.) : Forrest's suggestion of using "Security Officer" would probably
Part of my beef is that an article called "Security officer" sounds like it should be about Tau Ceti security officers in general (blue M1 Bobs in the game). Should there be a "The" added, or is the different capitalization enough to make the distinction? * Did we ever decide whether the player had an official gender? That's another thing the article should mention.
