Rock & Roll
Twin brothers that left the farm to take a road to adventure. After a scare at night, they decided to keep picks handy and yes, they whistle while they work.

i named my geologist after the seven dwarfs from the disney classic movie snow white. thus i have doc, sleepy, dopey, grumpy, happy, bashful, and sneezy.
i have named my explorers after the all time great three stooges aka larry, curly and moe
my generals are from lord of the rings i.e aragon, legolis, gimli, gandolf, frodo and samwise. it was fun naming them thank you for the option, but can i ask that we would be able to pin that pop up box also? especially searching for things like marble. it would make it easier. thanks baddee987

I have 2 Jolly Geo's... their names are Tom and Jerry. The both argue with each other a lot and get themselves into trouble. One day they got themselves into so much trouble that they were told to either straighten up or join the army. So they joined the workers union and started their search for mineral deposits. Being short, they were able to get into the smaller holes than the others, so they found more ore and minerals than the rest. They still argue, but that threat of joining the army and going off to fight some Dark Priests and a Witch of the swamp still scares them. So they remain happy..... Until one large argument changes everything.

Tune in next week to find out what happens to these two.... Same bat-time, same bat-channel.

Jemini Quicksilver was hand picked for the Geologist school, maybe it was his name, maybe it was that they'd just heard he had a quick eye and even quicker fingers (results of hard living after he was abandoned to the streets) - but either way he got to go to the prestigious school where he learned how to be an even better geologist. He'd lived the rough and tumble life and he'd lived the cozy comfort - now he's under the sole employ of the Lady Silver of Dagger Isle where he works happily and speedily on whatever geological searches she sends him on which results in an even more splendid lifestyle.

wand-wander
The professional geologists wander around with a wand and finding the treasure mines! such a relaxing job!

Snuffles the Stone sniffer
He's a rock hound, took to mining and is now a "specialist". He goes after copper for faster production of tools which help mines level up extracting ore even faster. His 2 brothers are in school now and are inspired by snuffles they want to follow in his footsteps, maybe even exceed his achievement. 1 likes gold the other is fascinated by marble and iron. When the younger 2 brothers graduate they will work with the eldest and maybe start thier own company. Rock hound brothers incorporated....or something like that.

Snuffles grew up on a small island, as a young boy he heard the stories of great explorers and mighty Generals. But Snuffles got his name because he was small and had allergies, he wasn't very good in the fields or workyard's as everything seemed to trigger his sneezing. one day Snuffles met up with a Geologist who spoke of fresh mountain air and beautiful views. Snuffles new what he wanted to do from that day forward, learned his trade and inspired his brothers into the new family business:P

Captain Flatulence

One day he swung the pickaxe a little too hard while working at a marble deposit. He was asked to step down and later found work at a natural gas mine.

My geologists name is: Rockmaninoff Born a distant cousin to a famous music composer, he found his passion in the Earths' buried treasures and minerals. After finding his first gold and coal mines his newly accumulated wealth allowed him to migrate from Russia to the Island villages where his talents for uncovering valuable hidden resources has elevated his status to that of a highly esteemed artist in his own right. On the horizon, he may be purchasing his own chain of islands.

sir goldman

he saw his father when he was young and saw the fun of being a geologist and he wanted to keep the family buisnees going so he asked his father for a nickname and some tools and then he was determand to find the shiny minerals in the hard rock.

Jesus Christ After several incarnations, the Master became tired of all the moral filth, corruption, and the nose-picking, salivating indifference to His miracles and self- sacrifice; He elected to live out a quiet lifetime in the wilderness eating locusts and honey, searching for resources at my bidding.

My geologist is named Feldspar Rockbottom
Feldspar was born a slave to the trolls under Landstar Mountain. But as he reached his sixteenth birthday(or as best we can tell) a terrible earthquake caused the almost hollowed mountain to collapse killing all but three beings. Feldspar, his father Obsidieon Rockbottom, a great and world renound geologist and a troll who was still an infant. The nearest town was several days journey from the base of the collapsed mountain. With no packmules or wheeled implements it was decided that Obsideon and the infant troll would stay and try to hold up untill Feldspars' return.Feldspar was captured by a group of disbanded soldiers and was to be sold as a slave oncemore. But he ended up joining our fine town as one of its finest geologist. And as for his father and the infant troll they have decided to stay in the base of the collapsed mountain due to the gold and silver ore lying on the floor inside. Why would they ever want to leave?

My Geologist is named "Rocky", but not for the reason you are thinking! It's not because he loves digging for rocks. It's because he has dark circles under his eyes and, happy with his new abilities, he always whistles old rock tunes as he works, so the Ubi Community started calling him "Rocky Racoon" and it got shortened to just "Rocky".

The geologists are "Here," "There," and "Everywhere." Two of them are always claiming to be here or there, so are rather slow to get their work done. The other is everywhere he is needed, so he takes half the time.

Rocky Balboa fights to find the best ore deposits!

I named mine after talk show host steve wilkos and maury and steve Harvey then I named one slim after slim shady

Al Catraz: the Rock.

Greetings,

My name is Kensington McDermit, but you can call me Nibbles for short. I live on the archipelago island town off the coast of the Shueburry Provence. Its a happy simple life, and I love what I do. Im a geologist and inspecting rocks is what I do best, have you ever looked at a rock before? I mean really look at it? There are so many types of rocks bearing all sorts of wonderful treasures. Every time I find a new one I just get so excited, my stomach butteries and I just cant help but to shout YEPPIE! OHH it makes me smile just thinking about it. People call me Nibbles because when I was a boy I would take pebbles from the streams and nibble on them, each one had a different texture, and that made me curious. How can simple rocks that look the same be so different? I started finding all sorts of stuff in these pebbles, and now today I'm the best Geologist in the town. I can determine the difference between rock and stone, stone and copper, copper and marble... YEPPIE! GOLD! I must run now I just found Gold! see you around!

Beefy Chiefy
This was the nickname given to one of the preeminent marine geologists, Prof. Bruce Heezen (Columbia University). The nickname was based on his large size. I met He and his assistant, Marie Tharp, created the ocean topographic maps that were popularized in National Geographic. Dr. Heezen passed away due to massive heart attack while on a deep dive in a USN submersibe in the mid-1970's.

The inconvenient truth is that I named my geologist Al Gore.

Fast Lava
(Jolly)

He was taught to be a geologist by an ancient asian sensei. His last task was to outrun a lava flow, he kept screaming "I didn't know it would be FAST LAVA" all the way down.

The name stuck.

Digger Doug the geologist until recently was just known as number One. Number one or aka Digger Doug is so happy about a name he now doesn't work and spends his days celebrating at the friaries.

Ben

my fathers boss is a geologist and his name is Ben we go to his house for cook outs and pool parties.The other day i found a rock on the beach that looked like a big shark tooth my father asked Ben what it was and he said it was a fossilized bone from a ocean mammal it was between 10 thousand and 100 thousand years old.Ben always take the time to explain rocks to me and i like his brother lol.

Dusty Lapierre knew at an early age that he had a knack for finding things. His older brothers were always asking him to go find one or another of their toys, and then wait to hear his hearty “Yippee!”, signalling that the toy was found and on its way.

As he got older, however, Dusty’s family hit on hard times, and he was most affected by it. It all started when Dusty’s father, a noted explorer, failed to return from a mapping excursion, leaving the family without a patriarch. Then, a short time later, Dusty’s mother lost her job at the bakery, forcing the four brothers to strike out and find work to support the family. It was around this time that Dusty began to find solace in a bottle. Luckily, his older brothers managed to keep him out of trouble and provided the love and care that helped him get away from that downward spiral, and into the profession he was born for, that of a master geologist. These days, the sole remnant of those dark times is his trademark leaving call that he shouts when off on a new expedition, the words now taking on a more joking meaning, since he had given up the drink:

“Okay, wanna tequila!”

Giaccomo Walhabila is the son of a wellknown and terribly hot-tempered restaurant owner and, as a consequence, the young man cannot smell the fumes of a kitchen anymore, so he decided to spend his life in the wild hunting for odorless treasures. Giaccomo is well mannered, joyful and very timid with women with whom he his quite popular without knowing it.

Chester Copperpot.
- He is the geologist son of the famous Chester Copperpot that was killed while looking for One-Eyed Willie's treasure. He still carries the '1973 Topps #472 All-Time Grand Slam Leader Lou Gehrig' baseball card that was found in his father's wallet when poor old pops died in 1935.

Dirk Pitt
- Retired marine archeologist who had a lung deflated 2 days after his 65th birthday on a deep sea diving expedition and decided to turn to geology since his diving days were over.

(Unfortunately Dirk Pitt seems to have decided he did not want the job, he accepted my offer at first but when I came back later he was gone and some overly cheerful dude name 'Jolly' has taken his place. Dirk will not accept any of my calls to him to find out why he all of a sudden quit. I have heard a rumor that some punk named Clive threatened Dirk with a couple of broken legs if he did not go back to work for him.)

Robert Bell came up and offered to take charge of my geologist crew. He was tired of working for the Geological Survey of Canada as Acting Director, after the 4th time he asked to be made the official Director and was refused he decided to take the posting of Grand Master Geologist on my island.

I named my lead geologist "Mother Lode". :)

"Gold Digger"

After his failed marriage to Katy Perry, and a fling that ended baddly with Angelina Jolie after a night of raiding orphanage's, Jolly changed his name to "Gold Digger" to find a safer way of making money..

Svengooli

abandonded by his gypsy mother elvira princess of the night, he searches the realms endlessly in search not only of his family, but of himself.

The Blowholes
Young Blowhole and his brother Blowholeland see his father rectumous off to Blowhole land for a meeting with King Blowhole and his Geologist of the tator table, Blowholeland expressing to become a geologist when he promises her a trip to the kingdom someday. However a dark-hearted geologist named Monkeydick becomes upset at his share of the land's divisions and attacks King Blowhole to seize him. The Geologist Blowholeland attack and Monkeydick is killed before Blowholeland defeats this unusual skulk with his geologist pick. Despite this, Blowholeland grows into a young man, dreaming of his chance to prove himself and become a King gologist like his father, much to his mother's embarrassment who believes it to be too dangerous for his sissy ways.
One day, a Turtleneck breaks into Blowhole land and steals Arthur's sword, subsequently losing it in the Forbidden Forest as he escapes. That night, Flooterballs returns and kidnaps Tator and Gippy, plotting to use them to sneak into Blowhole land and overthrow King Blowhole by using a magic potion which combines his allies and accidentally a monkey named Monkeydick with various weapons and instruments of destruction. Gippy manages to escape and goes to the forest in search of the sword, Monkeydick ordered to follow him and report his location to kookoo. While there, Gippy meets Pootytag, a blind gynecologist who has learned the ways of the forest and survives with ease and the assistance of Rob Phillips, a sexy beast of a man that belongs to King Blowholes advisor Toejam.

Doodlebug - as head Geo, others will follow as Sleepy, Happy, Dopey, Sneezy, Grumpy (for those long 2 hour searches), Bashful (for those quick copper searches) Doc....need I say more

I name my geologist Dr. Sentinel. Sentinel’s meanings include one who stands guard, and in medicine, an indicator of a disease.

When coal mining began in Dr. Sentinel’s village, he was alarmed by the number of patients he treated for injuries in those mines.

Each patient described how he was hurt to Dr. Sentinel. Over time, he gained expertise on how the miners could be injured.

Distraught by the number of injuries he treated, he decided to tactfully approach the mines’ owners. They listened to his concerns because of his solid reputation in the village. He begged leave to inspect the mine to, again tactfully, suggest ways the mines could be made safer, using what his patients had taught him.

The mine owners implemented much of what he suggested. Due to the respect he showed them, they finally asked what he would do in their place, if he ran the mines. He had waited for this moment, and finally could say: let me scout for other mine locations, to find ones less prone to injury.

And so Dr. Sentinel became the village geologist, who due to his devotion to his patients donned the clothes of the common worker to pick through possible sites and suggest shaft layouts.

No one knows how many injuries he prevented, but the villagers made sure that two things happened. First, always someone went ahead of him and behind him so that if disaster struck while he explored, he would be buffered from it. Second, they let him know directly and by implication that they never wanted him to leave their village. Many a mine owner sent a representative to try and recruit him, who never reached him. He would meet lots of other villagers, and be pressed into many time-consuming spontaneous village activities, but he would never reach the doctor.

Letters from mine owners were always delivered to Mrs. Baker, who using her assumed title of Dr. Sentinel’s other secretary, always responded politely in a manner which did not invite a second letter.

"Frakker"
Born in the family of environmentalist fighting with Big Oil companies, little Frakker knew all about dangers of frakking, gold and stone excavation, as well as the dangers of depleting iron ore in deeper earth crust, causing powerful earthquakes destroying the lives of peaceful neighbors. He had a fall-out with his family when he mentioned that a car exhaust fumes passing by causes more air pollution than a million people smoking for one full day, yet his parents are silent about it because they like to drive so-called environmentally friendly cars that leave the same size of carbon footprint on environment as the gas cars. He was banned from family picnics, which led him to alcoholic dependency over time. After long recovery, this outcast decided to switch his official name to Frakker to show his dissatisfaction with unloving family. Also, he thought that eventually all settlers will figure out that building an oil rig will bring about new buildings and ways of spending diamonds and he wanted to be able to tell his children that he was the first frakker aka "progress bringer" in town.

From a small child age he like to sing in the shower , so at theage of 15 his mother and changed his name to Ingberg Pumpernickle.Now he sing while wok on the Science rock

My Geo's name is "MrFindsAlot".

This guy works so hard to help me run my island and asks for so little in return. Without him my economy would crash, no doubt. It hasn't always been an easy life for him growing up next to his big brother "Schwartzkoff" the Vet General and with an absentee Dad who's never around because he is always too busy out looking for "Adventures". Sure when his father comes home he always brings gifts, but never what MrFindsAlot really needs, love.....

Indiana Jones,

Enough said.

Specially trained by The Mining Industry of Sector 6 (MI-6), nobody spies the new deposits like my trio of Geos-- Goldeneye, Irons Ore Forever, Liscence To Drill

My geologist name is: Bau Bau. Is a scientist who studies the solid and liquid matter that constitutes the Earth as well as the processes and history that has shaped it.
Usually engage in studying geology. He studying more of an applied science than a theoretical one, must approach Geology using physics, chemistry and biology as well as other sciences. My Bau Bau geologist, compared to scientist engaged in other fields, is generally more exposed to the outdoors than staying in laboratories; although some geologists prefer to perform most of their studies in the lab. Professional geologists work for a wide range of government agencies, private firms, and non-profit and academic institutions. They are usually hired on a contract basis or hold permanent positions within private firms or official agencies. I have 7 professional geologists and their names is: Bau Bau 1,2,3... 7. They work on my island and they discovered resources for me. Official agencies is The Settlers Online-Castle Empire. The agency gave me geologists. This is my story of my geologists. Hop hop hurray Bau Bau 1 to 7. Thanks to Blue Byte master agency. Hop hop hurray!

Jolly Jack....he is the youngest son of 10 and only has 1 sister...he set out one fine morning to see what else there was in the world besides home life in the mountains so he waved goodbye to his brothers kissed his mom and hugged his dad and off he went... Jack wasn't just any young man he had the power to find things faster than others and at night he would glow... one fine day he was wandering in the woods whistling when he saw a man on a horse in uniform coming his way they had a quick chat and Jack found out that General Damen's employer needed a speedy geologist so Jack was hired and joined the General on his path to his new home where he has been working diligently for his new boss...
