Sorry. In the words of Sui, I just had to ask this question before I killed every cat in the county with my curiosity. What is the go with the names? I am specifically asking -

Reiyen the Indefatigable
Elanhil the Unfathomable
Griffin the Indomitable
Amanda the Incorrigable
Sui the Chopped-Into-Bits

Did I miss some momentous event in which these names came about, or is this a private joke? Either way, please do enlighten me!

I'm curious too... All I know is that is started with Emethith changing Manda's name...then something happened while I was away. *shrugs*

*sits down with popcorn and waits for answers*

It's a bit of an ongoing joke. I think it started a week or so ago, when Reiyen started changing his username to random things, including Bush (space) Maid.

Reiyen changed his name to mine? I don't know whether to be highly flattered or to simply roll my eyes.

*goes and ponders new name*

Hmm...

No! Varon! You can't change your name! It's too... you! That'd be like... Jonathan changing his name!

I'm thinking something like "Varon the Eternally Sleepy."

Varon the Vanquisher.

Don't forget Elanhil the...the something.

Anyways, I'd like to know what's going on too

eru

Who was Sui??

Sui was Suiathon (I think his name has more letters in it)

How about Varon the Two-Word Post King? Actually, that might not fit. Varon the Abridged?
Varon inanof itself is short, sweet, and to the point, like your posts. I think you should leave it.

Okay.

Suiauthon, with a 'u' like "author".

*mumbles something about dead fur balls*

In my case the name change came from neither a momentous event or a private joke. I noticed the above people had weird names and (with a little help from Tsahraf) got an idea for a silly version of their slightly intimidating names.

Don't worry the name change is temporary.


Whenever someone hears how I pronounce my name they have an easier time spelling it.

Ahh, ok. Well I'm glad yours is only temporary. Because I like your full username.

*is starting to wonder if she should do this...*

*goes to find long words with equally long meanings*

So...we still don't know why everybody's name is changed? Huh...

*is keeping my name*

*comes back after looking at long names*

*has decided not to change her name to BushMaid the Ununderstandable*

And no. We still don't know what started the name changing thing.

@Mark: Reminds me of chop suey

eru

*should change her SF username to Lieutenant-in-the-Wings Elly. . . well, never mind*

I did mine because it adds to the medieval/fantasy feel, IMO... who ever heard of a knight named Reiyen? Reiyen the Indefatigable, on the other hand...

My name is "Reiyen the Indefatigable" because I dueled over my username with Sir Emeth and Dieki at the same time. Guess who lost...
More or less, I came up with a jerry rigged system that would prevent people from changing my username, or more properly, from their changes having any affect. I worked it so I could instantly return my username or color to "Reiyen" and leave them wondering what happened. Then Emeth pulled the trump card.
He changed my username and locked all the usernames (other people couldn't change their own, too). Eventually he limited the lockdown to just me... and thus it has remained. He switched my avatar as well. After people saw my awesome username, they followed suit. They by choice, me by defeat.

Beware, Emeth and Dieki, for I have not yet unleashed my greatest servant...

I'll just keep my name. *nods *

I understand you... most of the time.

I have no clue what precisely started the name changing... Except maybe Emeth's messing with mine (which he also locked for a time, to "Incorrigibly Vexatious"). It's tons of fun, though.

Wow, that makes a great story! Thanks for enlightening us, Reiyen! (Although I kinda hope your name gets changed back... )


*laughs* I would have chosen it for the minority of times no one could understand me.

Exactly.

(whatever chop suey is )

*laughs* Same.

It's basically macaroni noodles in a little bit of tomato sauce. Don't ask me why it's different from any other noodle in tomato sauce...

Wow, he really went all out on you.

*decides to lay low until this name thing blows over*

Again?

While we're at it, I'm sure when can find something to pin on you too, Shark. You're not exactly innocent in the naming war...if I remember correctly; you changed his name first.

*laughing out loud!* So we are sticking Indy and Emeth in User Handling now, are we?

Nah, I'll just swat them both with my rolled up newspaper and be done with it.

And you did try to assasinate me, Brendan dear. So you are not totally guiltless.

Indy didn't do anything. Inesdar might have, but Indiana Jones didn't.

It's my nickname for for Inesdar, Varon.

*hands on hips* And what is wrong with my word?

For the record; Emeth wasn't tyrannizing anyone...he was "punishing" Manda because she kept changing her name to "Betheny Faith" and things of the sort.

So... shall we say everyone had good intentions for everyone but not everyone saw them?

Umm...I don't typically say yes to questions I don't understand...but...yeah, sure, okay...what Busheh said.
