[Alvadas] False Impressions

by **Naia Whitewater** on January 14th, 2015, 7:28 am

And I hope I'm not too late to the welcoming party, myself! (though I am technically not active this season >.>).

But welcome to the city, Fable, and good luck working things out!

Super excited to have you on board, and I'm sure we'd all love to hear what you have in mind for the city!

As for names - thank you so much for asking because I have no idea how to say half of you lovely PC's names.

And congrats, Kuv, on 700 posts! That's one Hai of an achievement!

Oh right.

Congratulations on the 700, Kuvarakh! My head is swimming with lore, old threads, and future plots lately. Please excuse any rudeness due to me just not even noticing things.

And thank you, Naia! (Is it... N-EYE-uh?) Hopefully you'll be able to join us all next season?

Haha, apologies myself! - I considered mentioning it, but I wasn't sure if your little request also applied to one with such a mundane name as myself
But yes, the plain ol' simple pronunciation is how it is technically!(Half depends on the accent, though, Naia will speak her own name with a far greater exaggeration on the 'eye' purely because she will have been speaking much more fratava than she was once used to, and the harshness of that language will no doubt be bleeding into her common.)

You're most welcome! And I certainly hope that Naia will be active next season!

Oh, I get you! Simple names sometimes are just... They're not what I think they are. Though yours was, so that was nice.

Excellent! I'll be looking forward to your return.

Alright: I thought I would just edit this in as I don't see a need for double posting on my part if I can help it.

I read up on everyone's plan for the party, and as Mirage said, do be careful of metagaming. Kuvarakh's solution to the invitation was pretty sound in my opinion, so as long as you all get those threads finished first before starting the party, it should be fine! Ideally I would like to have all the prior threads graded before you start the whole shebang, but I'm willing to be a bit lax in that if I can't catch up the grading que by the time you're all ready. Once I get caught up with everything, I'll be sure to see if I can't add a little bit of birthday fun myself!

Definitely enjoy yourselves! I'm looking forward to getting to immerse myself in the stories all of you have been working hard to weave.

(Also, I feel like you're going to do this anyway, but if you can write up a receipt for all the expenses and who is paying what at the beginning of the thread for me, that would be absolutely wonderful.)

And if any of you need help with logistics of a thread/plot, what the city might can and cannot do, or anything else short of Gnosis threads (haha. I can't do those yet.), please don't hesitate to ask! PM or here, either way I want to be a resource for you all. I'll probably be asking a few more questions about this party as you all get nearer to it, but from what I've seen so far you are taking a good approach to it.

Keep up the good work, Alvads!

Hi Fable! Welcome, from one of the newest comers to the city of illusion

And my name is easy to pronounce! Knee - ell - oh

by **Darkalin Pinewood** on January 14th, 2015, 3:14 pm

Welcome to the Wonderful city of Illusion! Name's pronounced Dark-Allen Pine-wood.

Well, while we're at it.

Kuvarakh is pronounced "koo-VAR-eck".
Accent on the second syllable, the last having that sort of nondescript vowel sound, a "schwa" I remember them calling it in English.

by **Redire Whitevine** on January 14th, 2015, 7:17 pm

My name is rather simple. Red-ire White-vine.

by **Phobius** on January 14th, 2015, 7:34 pm

"koo-VAR-eck"

Good grief, I've been saying it wrong my entire life. 8I

Welp, since everyone else is doin' it; Phobius as in "phobia", and the -us sounds like...well, us. Haha.

Woo! Pronounciations!
Very useful, especially since I only started pronouncing Kuvarakh correctly when he sounded it out in a thread. I've also been pronouncing Naia wrong, apparently :rolleyes:
