Title: ATAC
Post by: D.Hardy on July 07, 2007, 04:02:09 PM
Would you read ATAC as attack or A.T.A.C.? I catch my self saying attack alot. so i was just wondering.
Title: Re: ATAC
Post by: SkyWarp on July 07, 2007, 04:41:38 PM
I say it with a LONG vowel "a" and then TAC on the end.  So "attach" would not work for me as it is pronounced with a short vowel sound at the beginning.

Same here, I wonder if anyone says A T A C?
Title: Re: ATAC
Post by: tomswift2002 on September 25, 2007, 07:06:03 PM
I pronounce it as Attack, since when you listen to the first letters in each of the words (American Teens Against Crime), the A is pronounced ah-merican teens ah-gainst crime.  So, saying it is Attack, at least to me, sounds proper for ATAC.

It is pronounced for sure long A, then tack

Okay, I really don't know how I got this idea, but I now have the impression that it's pronounced "attack". I wouldn't be saying it if I didn't think it had merit from somewhere. I'm guessing I got the idea from Danger Overseas since that's the latest book I read. I just remember reading something and thinking "oh".

So, who really knows...

I was just playing the latest Nancy Drew PC game, The Phantom of Venice, and in the game Joe says ATAC with a long "a". So, unless HerInteractive got it wrong...

I call it A-Tack too, but for your consideration, chapter 12 of UB #9, Martial Law, is called: 'A New Plan of ATAC', which is obviously a play-on word.
Hmm...
Title: Re: ATAC

Way to keep the consistency, writers and designers ::)

Well, I myself still see it as A-tac.

I allways said A.T.A.C.. But thats because I did not even notice attack untill (I think it was Comic Con Artist) the part where the mission was in a case labled "Atac of the Zomboid". If I noticed it at first I'd probaly say attack instead.

It's not known who the ghosters of the UB are (another of S&S's downfalls), but we know who writes the graphic since they don't use guostwriters for that series.
Title: Re: ATAC
Post by: 003Robin457 on August 29, 2008, 05:52:16 PM
I wonder why? I guess because it wouldent bu fair since the artist would get his name out but not the writer. Unless they gave the artist a pen name, how about giving FWD a brother. Jeremy P. Dixion.
Title: Re: ATAC
Post by: SDLagent on August 30, 2008, 02:13:06 AM
Well, artists are given credit on most Hardy Boys books, without the author geing given credit. The real reason is, the Graphic Novels aren't published by S&S and as the cover says there based on the series by Franklin W. Dixon. Just like a Star Wars graphic would by based on the Star Wars films, etc.

What are you saying, that ATAC books are useless junk, because then we might have a riot on this forum. So where are my fellow ATAC fans to see this, your telling us that ATAC is garbage????

Please, read up on ATAC it actually is a very action filled series, I don't see where your get the trash part of it. I just say A-T-A-C (*To get back on topic*) So call it ATAC not trash, it does NOT belong in a trash can.

I am showing the most maturity I can by not misquoting you, ok so your name is Iola.alive and you don't like the Ub's that much. Isn't one of the main things you stand for is how you want Iola in more of the story, and in the Casefiles from what I heard on this forum she is dead, in the UB's she never did die. If you really want to read about Iola you are going to read the Ub's because she will probably be in one of the next books hopefully if they go past the trilogys.. One last question, in your name  iola.alive, did you make it because that is what you stand for.
Title: Re: ATAC
Post by: Olivia on October 07, 2008, 11:41:44 AM
I did it partially as a joke, but also because I like Iola. I don't really care too greatly about how much she shows up. I realize she's alive in the UBs, but only a lot in one and partial mentions in a couple others, right?

Anyways, the reasons why I like the Casefiles doesn't necessarily have to do with if she's alive because I believe it gave the series the motivation it needed (as some others have said).

Why would you mis-quote me? I'm one of the people who barely insults the UBs. I just state my opinion, or I sometimes make a joke. I don't understand why I'm being targeted ::)

No, you are not going to read the UBs because along with all the Hardy's other freinds have beem earsed, even chet mortion. You are going to read the digets and Blue-spines. To tell the truth I'd rather be blown up then be earased. Oh, and I doubt the UBs will make it past the triogies cause, it's impossible to find someone besides anyonew on this form who knows they exist. They know the Bluespines exist, and I know lot's of people who like the casefiles but the only UB fan I have ever seen had Burned as his favorite book. It also seeens people don't know the digests exist eather, because I haven't met any digest fans of any book over 100 that I hadn't inroduced to the  books. I even had to make a display at the school libary to get anyone even interesting in them, and still the casefiles seem to be more popular.
