About roughly half of my posts from the last year or so are filled with obscure song references, but if anyone actually did get all of them, I'd worry for their mental health.
Also I could have sworn someone did say Helbert Strand when we were guessing your other LGBTs, but maybe I only think...
I did reveal Kenlan's real first name once. I'm not sure anyone picked up on that. Never have revealed his last name, though, and I kind of doubt I ever will.
That works great! I don't think the farmer will play a major role, but he might figure into the next couple of scenes in a minor way. I just always want to be careful when someone else introduces an NPC to make sure I'm not radically altering that player's vision for that character right at first.
I admit I had nothing in mind about the farmer, since I didn't expect him to become involved in the story. :) But since he might, Mith visited with the farmer briefly, as a means of gathering intelligence on the ships that were on the farmer's property. More or less to verify when they arrived,...
Hey, Dog (or anyone else who might know), is there any back story to the farmer who owns the land we're camped out on? When Mith arrived on the scene, you mentioned that he came from the direction of the farmhouse. Do Mith and the landowner have a history, or is that just chance? Do you have any...
I. J., don't get me wrong, there are plenty of names I've come up with that don't have any significance beyond just sounding cool, but those aren't the stories I'm sharing now because, well, they're not really stories.
Cool! I like reading your responses. Glad to know I'm not the only one who puts some extra thought into names. Here's a summary of some of mine:
Mith'Tomax Menkar: Mith, because originally his life/story was going to revolve around a myth/legend. Tomax sounded cool, and is the clan name...
Zealos- was named for the greek god of rivalry, Zelus. Which is why Zealos argues with everyone. About everything.
Whydah- was named after the Whydah Gally, a slavership, captured and turned pirate, by Captain Black Sam Bellamy, which promptly sunk two months later, at the cost of almost all hands.
You're right, this is a fun question!
I tend to do the same things when I name things, drawing upon symbolism and reference. I occasionally use those references to help inform myself of where I could potentially go with the character.
Tam's first name is a direct reference to Simon and River...
Dawncaller, I'm totally going to try to work in some kind of reference to that. Kenlan won't actually be dressing like a bantha, but I'll figure out some way to refer back to that.
Dog (and everyone else), I don't remember where the name Kenlan came from, but As-Buka comes from the Russian word...
Topic for next chat (or if you'd like to post about it here): I'd like to know how people decide on their character names/ship names/planet names, etc. I tend to use a lot of symbolism in mine (which most people wouldn't recognize if they didn't know the reasoning), and wonder how the rest of you...
You really shouldn't have missed this one, Ubiqtorate. We've decided to take the whole story in a new direction entirely. You'll see the whole picture as the other players write, but we need you to have Kenlan dress up as a Bantha, dance like Oola, and spin an X-Wing on his finger like a...
Just to avoid what happened last time, what time zone are we measuring noon from? Though it might no matter; I can't seem to get the chat to run in my browser at all.
Odd... So how do we create a private room and stuff?
And that was a great post, Fingon! I know you expressed some concerns about that post, but part of the beauty of writing for Tam is his volatility. He can fly off the handle with ease, per the needs of the writer(s).
All the other boys formed a circle around him, their uniforms stained with the blue-green grass. They stared, their eyes wide with the horror that he felt. The screams in his chest tried desperately the claw their way out, but he couldn’t make any sound at all besides a small whimper as hot tears...
And I was just getting good with the old chatroom format. . . Glad to hear your internet troubles are dealt with Fingon, now nothing could ever possibly ever in anyway at all ever stop you from attending our chat. . . noon. . . thingy.
Edit: Wait, now I don't even know how to get in the damn chat...
“Tell me,” said Tam, not turning away from the prisoner in the holding cell, “why is he unconscious?”
“He resisted containment,” offered Gunnery Chief Varnillian, “and had to be stunned. I suggest we keep him in this state for the duration of our journey to Bastion.”
Tam could sense the...
The figure at the top of the ramp was a hulking felinoid specimen, perhaps just shy of two meters in height. Most of his orange fur was covered by a plain brown uniform with the insignia of the Rebel Alliance on the bulging shoulders.
"I am Captain Amur, leader of Alpha Squadron of Barthok's...
Yeah, I've been waiting on Fingon, mostly because I wasn't sure how he wanted to react to seeing Tam again. But maybe I should just go ahead and come up with something myself.
Riding right past my obvious responsibilities to advance the plot, this Saturday will be the first of the month. First Saturday that is, not May first. You probably knew that already. But since we moved Chat Night to Saturday's, starting at 3 p.m EDT, that would make this Saturday Chat Night.
Um... I can't remember if it ever specified. I think I had it in my head that it was the Obstructor, but don't take that as gospel.
It's still got guns, though. :)
So which Interdictor was it that we took down over Ord Mantell? I mean, we might not have destroyed it, but it won't be interdicting anything for a while...
It's not really anything I thought of until now. Whenever I saw this group in action I always imagined "swarms" of TIEs, and never had to delineate the actual number/strength of the starfighters.
And yeah, don't forget what Vader et al. will bring to the party. :)
