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