Eh?

We'll see. I didn't think it was that big of a deal, Skofo. I guess I can just call it "The Slave's Destiny" so it won't have to be on Lugaru. Happy?

(if you figure out the other ways, tell us please.)

Oh, I have a mac, don't worry. (Not that you were).

Mac here, too, but it's a PPC 4, so I cain't get OG alpha's yet. ...well, the mac was a free hand-me-down, so I got nothin' to complain about.

And about names, Skofo, don't forget Lugaru's an island, so couldn't there be a mainland or other islands? I'm assuming the anthro- rabbits, wolves, cats, rats , etc. must live all over the world.

You never see boats, but they have that awesome anti-gravity tech they use for their floating garden-home platforms. Dangerous to fall off of, yes, but you can travel in comfort anywhere the wind takes you.

Edit: Unta, Kava is a nasty-tasting brew that gives you a nice mellow high and a calming stomach ache.

FYI.

Jeez it's late.

The rabbits in Lugaru have a mix of English nouns and typical English names loosely related to rabbits: Turner, April, Jack, Aspen, Skipper, Fiver, Hunter and Hickory. Wolves seem to have more environmental names: Smoke and Snow. Make names for your characters with these in mind. Don't just bash your keyboard and call that a name.

His campaign, his rules.

Yeah, I guess that's the best way to put it.

Damn me and my long-windedness.

Sure they are, I'm just trying to help him make a more convincing fan sequel and explaining why I'm not happy with any of the choices he gave us in his poll. The stereotypical random fantasy names he made up are quite cheesy, to be honest.

It's not just that; I simply pointed out the most obvious reason. In an earlier post you admitted that this will be in the history of Lugaru's world.

No, I'm changing it. I said it would be on Lugaru and in Lugaru's history but now I'm changing it.

D=

But I liked the part where it said it was part of Lugaru's history!

I don't really care if it's in the history or a realistic future, or if the names are unrealistic or Skofo thinks they're cheesy. I'm calling it The Slave's Destiny so if people think it's on the island Lugaru or not, that's up to them. I just want to try to make my own campaign. Heck, if it's that big of a deal, the main character 'ill be Bobby.

Untadaike, if you have a cool story, and it sounds it to me, you should set it wherever/whenever you think makes the story better.

Making these things is a LOT of work, and cutting something out that makes the story more compelling --well, I bet you'd regret it. Keep your names, cultures, everything.

p.s., it's a relief to go back to making fight levels after all the pain of dialogues. So easy, and you get the satisfaction of fighting them when you're done!

Untadaike wrote:Please don't post your own ideas for the hero's name; I'll ignore it. Like I said, it will be one of the above.

Again, his rules.

Skofo- There may be another rabbit culture on Lugaru.

Even then, you must consider that a name is just a title decided by your parents. If the parents wanted to call someone Xyvxin, who's going to stop them?

Xyvxin is easier than it looks to pronounce.

Yes, it is... o_0
Looks a helluva cool name, though. xD

(Yes, this is bumping, but this is my own thread, so there.)

I have news. I will not make a campaign. (You've probably heard this shit a lot from the noobs that think they can make a campaign). This is not because I am lazy, I simply do not have enough time. There is a chance that I can find time to work(ha ha) on it in the summer though. However, after saying that, I think I will just release the maps I have created as a map pack on these forums.

Sorry, but campaign making isn't for everyone.

By the way, at the community college I'm at, classroom numbers are similar to NS 240. One room, however, was titled WTF 69.
