4thofelevenWeirdest thing seen recently in Star Trek Online: a player going by Josef Tito. Not a ship named after Tito, no, somebody decided to name their character after Tito.
Now, hey, I’ve got nothing against Tito. Guy had plenty of admirable qualities, and as far as Balkan leaders go, he was a pretty good one. Still, why name your Star Trek captain after him? Is it some sort of weird theme, and all of this guy’s bridge officers are named after post-war European dictators? Is it some sort of commentary on the Federation’s vaguely socialist/utopian structure?
I choose to believe that there’s someone out there who sincerely believes that, if he’d had the opportunity, Tito would totally have become a space explorer, and he’s just glad to finally have a game where he can see how that would have turned out…
