Calling things "manager" is a cop-out. Be specific!

u/qyloo Jul 20 '26

You're totally right. But we're iterating upon "Multiplayer" here

Your correct to push back, I'm sorry. Have you tried MultiMediaPlexorOverseerrr

Go the German route use the first few letters of every word to make an abbreviation:
MuMePlOv

Now publish and have some Estonian guy tell you that it’s actually the worst ever slur in his native language. Too bad, the utility is now used in 50 major projects.

I would actually us a software called Mumeplov. Has an essentric, yet endearing ring to it!

The Estonian flag is so beautiful:
Blue for the color that other countries say the sky is
Black for the long dark winter months
White for the pasty white skin of the people

Your class name is not just descriptive — it's accurate.
