A name is but a name... and what's in a name

Post by Psye Shaar »

Now i don't want to come across as being overly pedantic here... but IC'ly i really can't be bothered to keep correcting people, even though i probably should (I know it would drive me mad if people forever got my name wrong)....

It's Tristran with an R!!!!! :roll:

In game i do try to tell everyone refer to my character as Tris, but on the occasions people do refer to him by his full name, at least 70% of the time they say Tristan.

As small a thing as this may be it is still something that just bugs me a little.. so this is a plea to all of you other gamers...


PLEASE... OH PLEASE notice that poor little 'r' in the middle of the name or simply refer to him as Tris

Ok... i'm done now 8) :P

Don't worry Tirstram, the DMs are behind you 100% in regulating the correct pronunciation of your name.

Ebony Records indicate otherwise. When did the operation occur? Bad polymorph mishap, perchance?

Atleast we don't have anyone on hala who

a. has a blank name
b. uses a different name than on their floaty name

The real struggle for me is changelings who have 3 different names all similar to their floaty...

Timmy, Tommy, Tammy...

Uh-huh, sure ya got "proof" (hopes for screenie :wink: )

Oh and the operation took place during the time Elyl was stuck in the dark plane after being killed by his love when she found out Elyl wasnt really a male and... hey wait a minute... that never happened.... although he was asked if he was interested to join the Maidens back on Avlis once...
