View Full Version : R-mag and TECH-mag vs. Shadoog and Madoog

I know that we are used to the terms Madoog and Shadoog because the Japanese versions are called Madugu and Shadugu and we tried to guess the english names, but now the expansion is out and the synth boards for the two clearly say R-mag instead of Shadoog and TECH-mag instead of Madoog.

I have hated the terms Madoog and Shadoog since they were cooked up, to me they sound like car models from the 60's or types of carpeting. I am glad we have better names for them now and I am going to continue to call them R-mag and TECH-mag.

What will you call them?

Shadoog and Madoog, because R-Mag and Tech-Mag sound dumb. They're not even mags (other than Sato/Soniti)

Shadoog and Madoog. I don't really like the names, but it just doesn't feel right calling em mags... Since they're not.

New categories added: "Photon Whip," "Slicer," Shadoog" and "Madoog" are added.

That's simply a case of the GMs using common terms people made up, like how they call them "ultimate PAs" when they're clearly not ultimate.

The message board admins aren't the people who made the game.

R-mag and TECH-mag are what is used in what we play-- R-mag and TECH-mag is what I'll use. I don't play PSU-JP, so why should I use PSU-JP names for things? Besides, it confuses the new kids.

Keep in mind that "Cards" are referred to as "Throwing Blades" in the local version. However, very few people use that name for the item category.

I just call it that maggy thing on my shoulder. I mean, I rarely talk to anyone about it, so I don't have a need to describe it much. If I did, I'd use the term on the synthing board, because THAT'S WHAT IT'S CALLED. It's funny- if we had gone around calling whips "bananas" for months before they were released... then found out they were called whips, would we keep calling them bananas?

I admit, I'm disappointed, I was expecting a mad dog and a shaggy dog to be released with this expansion...

Shardio
Nov 22, 2007, 09:23 AM
R-Mag and Tech-Mag. It's only normal calling them that, when our region's version of the game calls them as such. It's the same with Psycho-Wand / Psycho-Stab, you see? n_n

Hokokaru
Nov 22, 2007, 09:23 AM
I vote my Idea is better and should be added to the poll!!
the option will be: RAGs/SHAGS and TAGs/MAGs

Madoog and Shadoog sound so stupid when you say them out loud (voice chat). I'm glad there's an alternative now.

Astarin
Nov 22, 2007, 12:01 PM
They have another name, too. Has anyone checked the shop search: by condition? There, they're both named with some ridiculous 4-letter acronym (which escapes me at the moment). So, R-Mag and Tech-Mag are way better than that.

And I'm sure some elitist players will continue to call them Madoog and Shadoog, just as those who insist on calling them "damu" technics. *rolls eyes*

In the new player shop search, you can search "card" or pick it from a menu to search for cards. Also the mags are called something else going by the shop search options.

R-Mag and TECH-Mag? Why does only one of them have the single-letter abbreviation? Retarded. I'll stick with the Shadoog and Madoog, though I'll move on to Shags and Mags (or Tags) since those sound even better.

As for calling something by original or localized names, I do that on a case-by-case basis, depending on what sounds better or makes more sense. (in this case, sha- and madoog sound more original, only RESEMBLE mags, made a lasting impression on the player base, and don't have uneven abbreviations unless referred to by those 4-letter acronyms that I never knew about till reading this thread.)

It's "shaduugu" and "maduugu" in Japanese. There's a huge difference between short and long vowels in Japanese, unlike western languages and it essentially creates another word entirely. Should also be noted that the "du" sound doesn't exist naturally in Japanese and was most likely named that so it would sound westernish. Thus "Shadoog" and "Madoog" are the correct translations of their names in English. Everyone has always used the correct names for everything (except the retards that call cards "fans"). So why do it any different here?

For the stuff in the boards and PAs... that's just SoA failing. In the Japanese version the words used there are the Japanese terms for the actual weapon systems, whose real names use English terms. I don't know why they didn't use the same consistency all around but SoA didn't help people much when they just did a literal translation of what it says in Japanese instead of putting the actual system names. They did the same thing with the stats on equipment, they did a literal translation of what the Japanese name stat names mean instead of using the correct names for the stats. In the JP version, both the player stats and equip stats read the same (sans a prefix on the former) unlike on the western version. Anyways, the pure Japanese names for the shadoog and madoog systems would come out to something like what "RCSM" and "TCSM" stand for. That's probably where they got that from, but the terms on the boards? That's anyone's guess. Remember, this is the company that can't even spell "Assassin" right, changed the rejene tech to "Reverser" when PSO reverser revived people, not cure ailments, and fucked up "technique" by just taking how its written in Japanese "tekuniku" instead of translating it for it means.

If you have trouble remembering which is which, just look at the first two letters of the name. "Shadoog" starts with "sh" like "shooting" does and "madoog" starts with "ma" like in "magic". Easy enough and makes much more sense than the stupid mag names.

So continuing to call them Madoogs and Shadoogs instead of the fucking retarded US names makes me an elitist?

Nevermind that, you know, they're called fucking Madoogs and Shadoogs in the version of the game I play. Gee, I didn't know that merely playing on the JP servers was enough to make one an 'elitist'! Thank you for educating me!

And no, I don't call Dambarta etc 'damu'. It's stupid, ending 'u' sounds in katakana are frequently dropped, and if I wanted to do a straight romanization anyway it'd be damu baata since there's a word seperator in the katakana tech name. XP I could argue that it should be Dam Barta, but I don't give a shit and the US name is at least a reasonable approximation, not made-up bullshit like 'R-mag' and 'Tech-mag'.

So, yup, still Madoog and Shadoog here, because I play the Japanese version and that's what they're called. XP No elitism involved. 9_9

I prefer calling them R-Mag and TECH-mag, because that way I know which is which. I kept getting confused which one is the auto-shooter and which is the tech weapon when they were called Shadoog and Madoog. The names are too similar for me to remember consistantly which does which, and the similarity in icons on the menu screen didn't help me either. R-Mag and TECH-mag are diffrent and obvious enough for me to remember which.

On a side note... anyone know what PM the R-Mags are supposed to go in for synthing them? Given they are synthed with an ele%, I would assume it's on a Strikeing PM, but since all they do is shoot and their attack power is based on TP, I don't know if their boards should go into a ranged or tech PM.

ugh, why do people even give a rats ass about this? Sega has given the bloody things THREE names each over here.. They listed them as Madoog and Shadoog on their official site, they gave em TECH-MAG and R-MAG on the weapon boards, and they listed em as TCSM and RCSM in the shop search.. I do not see any of these three names being anymore incorrect than the other, nor do I care who uses what or why..

Madoog and Shadoog have been known much longer though, thus they are the standard now. Do not whine or bitch about it being the "JP Name" or how it is irrelevant because you play the US version. SoA has referred to these items as Madoog's and Shadoog's already on the official site, it isn't just a JP Name, deal with it.. even if it were though, why the hell would it matter? Sounds like a pretty ignorant and elitist attitude.. Likewise, why does anyone care if people call them MAG's? Let them, SoA apparently thinks that works as a name for them too.. so there is nothing wrong with people calling them MAG's now.. Let it go.

That is all.

Site isn't nowhere as reliable a place for terminology as the actual game itself. The site also called them "Ultimate PAs" when they are clearly not ultimate.

You won't see the game call them "madoogs" or "shadoogs" even once.

Krisan
Nov 25, 2007, 08:55 PM
It hardly makes any damned difference, though. The name became the standard, it is something people are very familiar with now.. and the names are unique, which is something a lot of people like. It shouldn't matter if people call them that, nor should it matter if people call them MAG's either.. it just does not matter. The fact people are at an ends with each other over something so trivial is just.. well it is just plain sad honestly.

Zael
Nov 25, 2007, 08:58 PM
Standard on forums, maybe.

But if you call them that in front of people who play PSU without visiting forums (and yes, there are a lot of those), they won't be able to tell the reference.

But if you call them that in front of people who play PSU without visiting forums (and yes, there are a lot of those), they won't be able to tell the reference.


QFT. The vast majority of players (on 360 at least) have no clue what a "madoog" or "shadoog" are.

Majarra isn't ultimate?
Some of them are good, some of them completely suck.

But people call ALL PAs purchased via PA Fragments "Ultimate PAs"

Although, it doesn't make much sence. Since it's not even a real roman numeral.

Topic is tl;dr.

TCSM/RCSM seems best to me, since it is more consistent with how we name other weapon categories. In other words, if you want to use Tech-mag/R-mag, then have to call cards "throwing blades" and sabers "single handed blades."

A quick warning to those who call them mags and shags: "Shag" is censored! That'll make it kinda hard to refer to in singular form then. Go Sega.

Why do people even care? What if people call machineguns "Mguns" or "mechguns"? What if someone wants to call spears pokesticks?

These things were especially made to represent the Mags of PSO in PSU, without bringing back their exact functionality which completely did NOT fit with PSU's gameplay. They ARE Mags, with a PSU twist. So calling them T-Mags or R-Mags makes perfect sense.

Same for TCSM and RCSM. Tech-Casting Support Machine makes perfect sense as to the weapon's use. And as Soukosa said, madoogs and shadoogs also sound like good translations.

So really, why not stop whining and arguing about it and just use whatever you people want?

Silly people. >.>

Ah, in that case. Let me rephrase.

It doesn't make much sence though. Since they're the 5th set of PA's. Not 7th.
