Re: "What Characters should really be called" by Ali S. Fakenamington
I wanted to do update the OP tomorrow and will try how it looks. Only thing I don't like about it, if I do that, I don't see any reason to write ALL-CAPS stuff not in all caps.
But I think I'm just going to add both (i.e. doing the exact same capitalization as in the comic) and if given add the articles used.
EDIT: OP Updated. For now I have adopted to in-comic spelling as good as possible (including capitalization). I also "officially" included non-character stuff.Last edited by ChristianSt; 2014-06-08 at 05:12 AM.

Re: "What Characters should really be called" by Ali S. Fakenamington
As rodneyAnonymous pointed out I think it is better to draw no lines. I don't think there is a hard set of rules that we can really agree what is a name or not. So imo instead of adding countless discussion we just collect awesome stuff, and let the reader figure out whether it counts as name or not
On the Durkon/HPoH front: I'm still not exactly sure myself, but since I have counted two peoples who think a change is useful (at least I understood it that way), I'm changing that. But nothing is set in stone, so if someone wants to disagree, feel free to say something.

Re: "What Characters should really be called" by Ali S. Fakenamington
Oh, I thought per OOTS #957 (Takes One to Know One), we would be discussing Durkon's proposal for a new title for this thread: "Spontaneous nicknames and olfactory insults from Belkar".

Re: Spontaneous nicknames from Belkar
Mind = blown.
That hasn't crossed my mind in the slightest way, but it just seems brilliant to use an in-comic phrase if available! So this is done!
(But I'm not adding "olfactory insults" because I don't see a reason to collect those - but feel free to start a thread yourself )Last edited by ChristianSt; 2014-07-07 at 12:23 PM.

“Evil is evil. Lesser, greater, middling, it's all the same. Proportions are negotiated, boundaries blurred. I'm not a pious hermit, I haven't done only good in my life. But if I'm to choose between one evil and another, then I prefer not to choose at all.”

Re: Spontaneous nicknames from Belkar
My thought while reading 989: "Count No-neckula is a nice nickname for the spontaneous nicknames thread. I sure will update it after reading the strip!"
*5 days later*: I get a message that someone posted in this thread and think: "Mh, I guess my attention span sometimes is as bad as Elan's..."
Yeah, unless I see other peoples who think that "Nuts-er" should be included I will not do so. Especially with the question mark and all it is imo clear that "nuts" is being used an adjective and "nuts-er" as the comparative to it. (Kinda like saying "Have you gone crazy? crazier??")

Re: Spontaneous nicknames from Belkar
Indeed Belkar also use "nuts-est" about Roy. English is not my mother tongue, I wasn't sure it was used as a superlative :D
*makes a "lame excuse check"*
I wasn't really sure about this one, I'm not in favor of inclusion either :D.Posting from France

Re: Spontaneous nicknames from Belkar
On the other hand from that same strip he refers to Roy as 'bigfoot' which would seem to be a spontaneous nicknames.

Re: Spontaneous nicknames from Belkar
I do wonder why there's question marks after the entry for "rod of lordly might". Surely that's a reference to Belkar's.. er ... Trouser Titan.

Re: Spontaneous nicknames from Belkar
Because it is kinda awkward to write something else into that field At least I know I don't want to write "Trouser Titan" because, well that is established as belonging to Roy .
Maybe it would be better to write something else, but I have no good Idea. If you have some good suggestion I'm up for it, but the only alternative I have would be similar strings like "###" or "..." (but somehow "..." messes with sorting by Addressee, so that imo isn't an useful option anyway).

Re: Spontaneous nicknames from Belkar
If I recall how to do this...
"Run, my pretty little chunks of XP, run!"
Also, are we counting KS backer material/other outside sources? Because if so I think we have Snips, Snails, and Dragon-Tales and Haleo and Julean to dig through too (although the latter doesn't star Belkar _as_ Belkar...)

Re: Spontaneous nicknames from Belkar
I already have entries from Uncivil Servant and OtOoPCs, so I see no reason to exclude SSaDT or Haleo and Julean. As for whether the Stick Tales versions of Belkar qualify as Belkar is a good question. I would lean on the side of inclusion (because these characters are rather near their original).
