I WONDER IF IT WAS THE SAME GUY WHO ACCIDENTALLY FIRED THE ARROW IN THE BATTLE AT HELM'S DEEP

Re: CWS Discussion: The Next Generation.

It's a tried and true method to begin a battle, especially when the alternative is 'SNEEZE' 'SNEEZE' 'GROWL' 'ATTACK.'

Re: CWS Discussion: The Next Generation.

I think I've decided on Cnaeus for the Coronelians' god. The reasons:

1.Cnaeus, in Ancient Roman, is of unknown origin, so it is original in that it's obscure.
2. It doesn't sound like a cheap way of saying any well-known gods or a derivative of the term 'god.'
3. It has as many vowels as consonants. :b
4. It was derived from the name Gnaeus, shared by Gnaeus Pompey Magnus, aka Pompey the Great, which I thought was kind of cool, considering we have a Magnus in the story.
5. I thought it would be neat if the 'us' in Cnaeus and the 'us' in Magnus could be related somehow, like 'us' is a suffix that the warrior priests such as Magnus take on as an honorific.

Let me know, so that I can incorporate the last point into my addition if you guys approve.

Re: CWS Discussion: The Next Generation.

Sounds good.


From the story topic:

I recall that he and Ryu had initially decided that they were going to try and turn the story into a Lovecraftian homage. That doesn't happen, but I'll explain that in a later addition.

For the record, Aznable elucidated some of his ideas to me over AIM at the time, which I neither dismissed nor encouraged; I had no part or influence in the formulation of his idea to write about humans being monsters' slaves and Guillermo's half-monster blood and all that.

Re: CWS Discussion: The Next Generation.

Hm, well, Az made it sound like you and he were plotting to usurp the story when we talked of it. IRC can probably back that claim up, but if not, then I guess I got my wires crossed.

[TheHonorableRyu]

Re: CWS Discussion: The Next Generation.

Aznable got a different impression from the discussion than I did; and with IRC I only discussed how I would go about fitting an addition in, knowing but not dependent on what Aznable said was going to post (which IRC undid with his addition). I'm not seeing how you're thinking Aznable and my writing in any way constitutes a partnership.

[Big Rick Cook]

Re: CWS Discussion: The Next Generation.

All I'm saying is that Aznable told me that you two were going to turn the story into Lovecraft type stuff. He included you in that 'we're going to do this' conversation, so I assumed that at the time you and he had this mutual understanding. I understand that wasn't the case, now. Moot point, really. I guess I can change the little intro to the addition.

Re: CWS Discussion: The Next Generation.

My addition is parsecs away from being finished. I need Mora, Magik, and Ryu's email addresses.

EDIT: All I need now is Ryu's email.

[TheHonorableRyu]

Re: CWS Discussion: The Next Generation.

A parsec is actually a very long distance. : )

Hell, it's even longer than a light-year.

Re: CWS Discussion: The Next Generation.

Whoops. I thought that sounded weird... Me dumb.

[Vanilla Iced Tea]

Re: CWS Discussion: The Next Generation.

Yeah, I thought you were saying it was really far from being done.

Don't let Han Solo fool you. It's not even a unit of time.

[Big Rick Cook]

Re: CWS Discussion: The Next Generation.

I'm finished writing it, all I've got to do now is proofread and make some small editorial changes, and then I'll have it sent out to e-mails nationwide!

Re: CWS Discussion: The Next Generation.

No fanfare for Seek and Arc?!

And, ****. I don't think we ever did anything with that other book that Cale found.
