I name Fyoras after Mars djinni in Golden Sun. Forge, Fever, Scorch, Torch, Corona, Ember, Flash have all been in use at one time or another. I also once named one of my Drayks after our omniprescent mod. -------------------- ALBATROSS!!! -John Cleese !!!Long live Monty Python!!! Not a Chance! Long Live The Weather Balloons!

Mine still don't have names. I don't know how you people keep them alive long enough for names to matter. If I named them, they'd probably end up being "Meatshield", "Minesweeper", "Bait", "Lure", etc. -------------------- And though the musicians would die, the music would live on in the imaginations of all who heard it. -The Last Pendragon Polaris = joy.

I dont care for my creations. I hate them so much, I specifically make them for live bait. example: I made an artilla (usally pyroroamers), sent him on a little visit to my friend the battle beta's lol. so funny to watch him die without a fight (I hit spacebar to skip his turn). -------------------- Hey look! ...

That name cannot POSSIBLY be CoC-compliant. And reviving a topic when the last post in that topic said not to revive topics is, well, I'm not going to characterize it, but you see what I mean, hopefully. Hmm. First post.

oh- sorry about that- raising the topic i mean, although i am not exactly sure what you mean when you say my name should not be CoC compliant- but then, i am new to these boards, so there are a few acronyms that are confusing me. -------------------- put margarita salt on the top of ur right hand, between thumb and forefinger, hold shot of tequila in right had, hold lime in left hand...lick the salt, drink the shot, bite the lime...i love my dad...i love margarita parties...i love tequila -at times, being in love sucks- but at others- DAMN Posts: 5 | Registered: Saturday, July 17 2004 07:00 |

Come to think of it, this was not a bad topic to revive, of all topics. And you did contribute something new. Thus, no worries. As for the CoC, it stands for the Code of Conduct. The admin of this board is named Drakefyre, and your name does bear a striking resemblance to his, although it would be rather hard to confuse the two of you, so it's probably not a big deal. Well, unless some mod tells you that it is. EDIT: To return to the topic: in GF3, I'll probably name my drayk "Drakey."

Colors. Once, because I intended on killing and massacring them horrendously sending weak creations to the sudden death in an attempt to maturely deal with my everyday life frustrations I named them after the source of all evil (at least one type of evil): Chavez. May he have an indigestion from rotten eggs. Anyway.

I name my Thahds after my history teacher. :) Though 'Dubya' has been a personal favorite for a time now.

Close enough. If Drakey says nothing about draykfyre's name, then it's ok. The two are very easy to tell apart, and anyway, it's not like it's TGM. EDIT: Aran, would you mind shortening the sig?

I always name my creations after my friends. Of course, after that, I could never absorb them. Well, actually, I couldn't anyway because I adopt my creations so I have more essence for Battle Magic. :cool: -------------------- If anyone ever asks you why you did something, say "Because I could".

I rarely name creations. If I ever get the urge to do so it's generally something mythological and cool-sounding. Like Ouroboros. Or Cerberus. -------------------- Aut Tace Aut Loquere Meliora Silencio Posts: 1487 | Registered: Sunday, February 10 2002 08:00 |

Before I knew about the Ornks, I named my first few Thads: Sirloin, Grade A Beef, Ground Chuck. Eventually, I realized that as a Shaper, my creations had to die,(due to pathfinding, or the fact that I would die if I so much as tripped), so I stopped naming them. If only their experience algorithm was adujsted to be independent of the player's level, I wouldn't feel they were so forgettable. The knowledge that my younger creations won't grow just because my Shaper's all grown up dissapoints me. The stronger I get, the less they are willing to learn. -------------------- Moo.

I got some Ornks and I named them, Porky, Ham, and Sausage. And then the obvious happened. Thinking about their names made me hungry. And then....... Oh wait that was G2.
