[OOC] Sand and Glory - A Gladiator RP

[SIngemeister]

Italy = Taruam (Italy essentially means 'Land of the cattle')
Britain = Athylon (Avalon + Brythonic)
Briton = Atilon
Rome = Maro
Pompeii = Quantreia (Pompeii's derived from a word meaning Five)
Celts = Galts (Atlas Shrugged joke)

[DizzyIsabella]

Used "Briton"

Just saying...

We were told short and sweet CS! Not research the right terminology! I already edited a little, like Daemon asked :)

[SIngemeister]

They're only suggestions, to take advantage of or ignore at your leisure. I just have a bit of an interest in etymologies, 'tis all.

[Deamonbane]

I like it. *nods* I have an interest in etymologies as well, but have lacked the time to study them. Like Singe said, use or ignore as you will.

For example, my trainee character would be from Greece, changed it to Grecia. Not very creative I know...*looks down*

[SIngemeister]

Eh, the latin for Greece is Graecis, so it's a fair step. Greeks themselves preferred Hellenes and similar words.

[Nyxella]

Nairi is the Assyrian name for an Armenian region back in ancient times, often used instead or in tandem with "Nihriya", making it arguable whether it is or is not an alternate coin. 'East' is nice and ambiguous enough for a vague idea, but whatever you decide on is what I'll jot down.

[Katelyn]

I'm a rebel and refuse to adjust mine - again. Sorry... kiss it.

I'll post up today most likely.

[Deamonbane]

Nice posts guys...

[DizzyIsabella]

Watching Gladiator. Should give me more inspiration :)

Me too! I am so slipping in an 'Are you not entertained?!' with an entirely different context and meaning.

[Deamonbane]

Will be moving us along tonight or tomorrow... starting with Canis thoroughly intimidating everyone and selecting which trainee will be trained by which doctore. Please get your intros up by then folks.

[Katelyn]

I'll have my intro up for my recruit tomorrow after church. :) Too tired tonight.

[SIngemeister]

Working on mine right now.
Staugoda = Dwarf Elephants
Mekoasi = Mekosuchine crocodiles
Varau = Megalania

[Deamonbane]

I has a feeling that we are gonna be needing those translations come your post *grins*

[SIngemeister]

Eh, I'm just putting every example of island gigantism/dwarfism on Tane's homelands - just quaternary period ones, no stork-pterosaurs or stuff like that.

[Nyxella]

There's mine. Gladiator's a great movie to get lost in, for any reason.

[DizzyIsabella]

Been a slacker. Need punishing.

Should be posting up today.

[Deamonbane]

Spankings for slackers...

Also, if my post was a bit much, let me know...

[DizzyIsabella]

Absolutely not! I loved it.

It was pretty freaking authentic!

[SIngemeister]

'Twas damn good, Deamon, don't worry about it. How are we planning on doing fights, by the way? Sorted by PMs?
