You know, it’s just weird now to see the name **Robot** after we’ve been calling him **Root** because someone quite awhile back forgot to put the ‘b’ in his first name and it stuck…we just call him “Root” now…unless he wants to be called Robot again… Root? ---

> [@MentalGuy](#): > > Oh, come on Robot. If you are going to river me like that, you need to use those chips to take out peeker. No, I needed your chips to take out Yeti. Then I squandered his chips to peeker. > [@Yeticus\_Rex](#): > > You know, it’s just weird now to see the name **Robot** after we’ve been calling him **Root** because someone quite awhile back forgot to put the ‘b’ in his first name and it stuck…we just call him “Root” now…unless he wants to be called Robot again… “Root” was a mistake? I thought it was an affectionate shortening; a nickname of a nickname, as it were. Whatever you call me is fine, just don’t call me late for dinner. ---
