  1. (2:10:47 PM) Rikmach: I think we should come upw ith a racial name for Lizards that isn't, well, Lizards.
  2. (2:11:01 PM) michael89bley@yahoo.com: why
  3. (2:11:37 PM) michael89bley@yahoo.com: I mean thats kinda what they are
  4. (2:12:19 PM) michael89bley@yahoo.com: i mean we can think of something, but I guess for now thats what their race is named as
  5. (2:12:23 PM) michael89bley@yahoo.com: Scalefolk, maybe?
  6. (2:12:33 PM) michael89bley@yahoo.com: but that excludes those that dont have scales
  7. (2:12:55 PM) michael89bley@yahoo.com: Underdwellers might exclude those that choose to live above ground
  8. (2:26:15 PM) Rikmach: Well, as for the "Why", it's 1) Really generic. 2) Confusing, since there's already Lizardfolk. 3) Not really accurate, due to their diversity. 4) Would be cool to develop them more as a distinct fantasy race
  9. (2:27:25 PM) Rikmach: As for the name, maybe not focus on real words? Like, how does their name sound in theri language?
  10. (2:33:03 PM) michael89bley@yahoo.com: well
  11. (2:33:03 PM) Rikmach <AUTO-REPLY> : I'm not here right now
  12. (2:33:08 PM) michael89bley@yahoo.com: theres no Lizardfolk in this world
  13. (2:33:13 PM) michael89bley@yahoo.com: in that setting
  14. (2:33:25 PM) Rikmach: Yes.
  15. (2:33:28 PM) Rikmach: But there are in fantasy
  16. (2:33:29 PM) michael89bley@yahoo.com: unless you think the chitterlings from Gluttonys dungeon were lizardfolk
  17. (2:33:39 PM) michael89bley@yahoo.com: yes, but we talk about this setting
  18. (2:33:43 PM) michael89bley@yahoo.com: Bunnies are called Bunnies too
  19. (2:33:44 PM) Rikmach: I wasn't.
  20. (2:33:53 PM) Rikmach: Yes, I talked to Mune and he agreed they should have a different name
  21. (2:34:01 PM) michael89bley@yahoo.com: also, they are diverse...but all of them are basically lizards
  22. (2:34:03 PM) michael89bley@yahoo.com: reptiles
  23. (2:34:14 PM) michael89bley@yahoo.com: but okay
  24. (2:35:05 PM) michael89bley@yahoo.com: Underfolk
  25. (2:35:07 PM) michael89bley@yahoo.com: how about that
  26. (2:35:08 PM) Rikmach: Well, think about it Culturally.
  27. (2:35:17 PM) Rikmach: Why would they call themselves Lizards?
  28. (2:35:23 PM) Rikmach: Since taht's a word for an actual animal.
  29. (2:35:35 PM) Rikmach: It'd be like us calling ourselves "Apes"
  30. (2:35:40 PM) michael89bley@yahoo.com: well, at the time they only knew themselves
  31. (2:35:45 PM) Rikmach: Also... Underfolk is really generic.
  32. (2:35:50 PM) michael89bley@yahoo.com: well we arent apes, we are primates
  33. (2:35:56 PM) michael89bley@yahoo.com: to split hairs :P
  34. (2:36:00 PM) Rikmach: No, actually, we're in fact a species of Ape.
  35. (2:36:12 PM) Rikmach: We are also primates, but taht's besides the point.
  36. (2:36:46 PM) michael89bley@yahoo.com: well, heres why they're called Lizards. Because their grandpa is a Lizardfolk. A lizard. And they HAVE a name in lizardish
  37. (2:37:29 PM) Rikmach: Well, wouldn't it make more sense for them to call themselves "Children of Kai"?
  38. (2:37:36 PM) Rikmach: Honestly, though, we might bring it up with Keir.
  39. (2:37:41 PM) Rikmach: Since Kai probablly named them.
  40. (2:40:22 PM) Rikmach: Kaispawn, heh.
  41. (2:47:04 PM) michael89bley@yahoo.com: !history
  42. (2:47:04 PM) Rikmach <AUTO-REPLY> : I'm not here right now
  43. (2:47:28 PM) michael89bley@yahoo.com: Spawn sounds derogatory
  44. (2:47:49 PM) michael89bley@yahoo.com: So what do you think of my suggestion
  45. (2:49:23 PM) michael89bley@yahoo.com: !history
  46. (2:49:45 PM) michael89bley@yahoo.com: mhhh
  47. (2:49:48 PM) michael89bley@yahoo.com: my nets been out
  48. (2:49:58 PM) michael89bley@yahoo.com: so I didnt get any message after...I dunno
  49. (2:50:05 PM) michael89bley@yahoo.com: i suggested Ssithians
  50. (2:50:13 PM) michael89bley@yahoo.com: and I know you suggested Kaispawn
  51. (2:50:23 PM) michael89bley@yahoo.com: but personally I think Spawn sounds kinda derogatory
  52. (2:52:30 PM) Rikmach: Well, it's kinda a joke.
  53. (2:52:44 PM) Rikmach: I'd think they'd more phrase is as "Children of Kai", or "People of Kai"
  54. (2:53:03 PM) michael89bley@yahoo.com: :V
  55. (2:53:17 PM) michael89bley@yahoo.com: well, maybe Ssithian is commonized lizardish for that
  56. (2:53:30 PM) michael89bley@yahoo.com: I dunno I like tzhat name I wanna stick with it
  57. (2:53:33 PM) michael89bley@yahoo.com: sounds lizardish
  58. (2:53:36 PM) michael89bley@yahoo.com: very hissy
  59. (3:04:15 PM) Rikmach: Well, "Kai" would be "Kai" in their language, since he'd have told them how to pronounce it.
  60. (3:04:28 PM) Rikmach: So Kai + Ssithian somhow?
  61. (3:04:38 PM) michael89bley@yahoo.com: Ssikaithians
  62. (3:04:39 PM) michael89bley@yahoo.com: there
  63. (3:04:50 PM) michael89bley@yahoo.com: kaissithians
  64. (3:05:55 PM) Rikmach: Kaissith
  65. (3:06:11 PM) Rikmach: ?
  66. (3:06:18 PM) michael89bley@yahoo.com: sure
  67. (3:06:38 PM) Rikmach: Would Kaiszith look better?
