1 - Gimp, it isn't on either.
2 - Dual - Neither, but closest to the latin duo.(sort of)
3 - Tri - Greek
4 - Quad - Latin

So it's not like theres any consistency to go on.

How about we just call it multi-boxing and be done with it? :rolleyes:

Can you name one word -- off the top of your head, without using google/dictionary/etc -- that is commonly used in English and has quinq- as a prefix?
I can't think of any, but off the top of my head, penta- words :

pentagram
pentagon
pentathlon
iambic pentameter
pentacle

also see chemistry terms, pentaphosphate, pentachloride, etc. where we do not use the Latin terms - tetroxide not quadroxide, uranium hexafloride not sexaflouride, etc. We run biathlon and ride bicycles, not duoathlons and duocycles. We get sick with mononucleosis not unonucleosis. Dodecahedrons are the most worthless dice in D&D. etc.

Yes, your D12 cries itself to sleep at night. Esp in 4e, no Barbarian d12 hitpoints.

I think we have our winner!

Quint is a count, like five identical infants is called quintuplets or a sequence of five cards of the same suit, as an ace, king, queen, jack, and ten is a quint major.

Penta is an adjective, like a five sided building; the Pentagon. It is a description of a single object.

What I don't get is what if I am 20 boxing? Is it Icosboxing or do i keep the 'a' and make it icosaboxing. Honestly, this is the only thing keeping me from adding the other 15 accounts :(

The formations also confuse me. If I make my toons form a star to fight is it a pentagon? We are 3d dimensional characters, making a 1 dimension design so I could be Pentagram or Pentacle. It's stuff like this that keeps me up nights.

Is 10:30 a.m. too early for beer?
