Rotghroth Rhapsody Artemis~ Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Hey everyone. Everyone thinks that there are 2 general classes of opinions: shapers or rebels. but what about people like me who share some opionons of shapers and some of rebles? what do we call them? well, i think i have a solution. i dont feel like making a poll right now, so just tell me, do you think that we should call my kind shebels? correction: Velzan and I have decided that Shabels fits my point better. Hands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Velzan Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 I think Shabels would work better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyshakk Koan Velzan Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 .... I still vote for Shabels Nonetheless. Shebels kinda is too little shaper if youre going for half where as Shabels puts in half of each as the S is nuetral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 I think you should call yourselves something less silly, like "Progressive Shapers" (you'll note that some Shapers did embrace equality with creations, and less strict control of their powers, for instance). "Shables" just begs to be turned into "Shambles". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody Artemis~ Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 well, what if somebody's moving more towards the rebel side? then they would be a "progressive rebel," now wouldnt they? the whole point is that we're in the middle. i think that you're the only one that would add an "m" but i'll try to think of something more official between editing danettes library, for nikki's sake.

Rotghroth Rhapsody Artemis~ Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 naw, most people are either shaper worshipers, or rebel lackeys. i personally haven't seen any shabels in the geneforge series. maybe Khyryk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasoned Roamer shaper_medej Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 What about astoria she does come near...and the awakend are near shabels. And why do i hear voices in my head? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody Artemis~ Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 maybe you're skitz. yeah, the awekened are pretty close, in a different sense, though, but close. astoria's just a nutcase. people are calling her a traitor: that's not too shabel to me.

Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Other Shapers call Astoria a traitor because she is a member of the Shaper sect and yet she goes against Shaper policy by allowing intelligent serviles to live in freedom in her lands and by trying to create peace with the rebels instead of crushing them utterly.

Rotghroth Rhapsody Artemis~ Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 i never said her cause was unjust: i just said she's not a shabel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 You called her a nutcase. That implies more than "just not a shabel". Anyway, you're going to have to define what a shabel actually is if you want to go anywhere with it. There are lots of ways to be between the Shapers and the rebels. What views do you hold to put yourself in the exact middle of the two? Dikiyoba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgeoning Battle Gamma Desmarestia Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 It's a thread devoted to finding the best portmanteau of "Shapers" and "Rebels." The whole thing is absurd and pointless. At least "Rapers" accurately reflects the attitude of some Terrestians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgeoning Battle Gamma Desmarestia Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 You disapprove. All right, let me try to justify myself. Your goal here is to find a word that describes someone with both Rebel and Shaper sympathies. Shabels doesn't mean anything. You're trying create a word by combining syllables from existing ones, but English doesn't work that way. Shapers implies something. Rebels implies something else. What does Shabels imply? It's impossible to tell because you don't know what aspects are being taken from the original two concepts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotghroth Rhapsody Artemis~ Posted June 27, 2009 Author Share Posted June 27, 2009 i see your point, desmarestia. but i wanted to use a more exciting word then "neutrals." i'm thinking "Khyryks" might work too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgeoning Battle Gamma Desmarestia Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 I like the idea of naming a group after Khyryk. Khyrites, maybe? Khyryk walks alone (cue Green Day) so few would suspect people of being his minions. Actually, Khyrite potentially sounds like some kind of sparkly mineral.

Rotghroth Rhapsody Artemis~ Posted June 27, 2009 Author Share Posted June 27, 2009 khyrite, trkovite, the "ite's" add a ring to it. I'm for Khyrites: any hands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Velzan Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Khyrians. Khyrites. Maybe.. But I like Khyrians more P.S. i did see the Fallen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgeoning Battle Gamma Desmarestia Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Something else to consider is that Khyryk's name might get corrupted as he fades into history, similarly to Trajkov's actions leading to the existence of the Trakovites (the other explanation being that "Trajkovites" rolls off the tongue like a cyanoacrylate lollipop).

Kyshakk Koan Drakon Sssharxx Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 You get a few exiled shapers in the game showing Khyrite sympathys. I guess if you mixed sympathetic shapers and ex shaper rebels you would get somewhere close. That way your still takeing a sample from both shapers and rebels but they are more closely related allowing for you to gain a better, more precise, middle ground. When you take a strict shaper and a fanatical rebel the range of the middle ground available pretty much lies between sypathetic shapers and ex shaper rebels. Hmm statistic lessons did end up handy eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody Artemis~ Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 you actually PAY ATTENTION in that class? I take a nap. anyhoo, everyone hates Khyrites. Rebels think they have too many shaper ideals for their taste: Shapers shun all who question them. It's kinda like the trajkovites, except we like shaping, we ALSO hate the Trajkovites [like everyone else], except everyone hates us, too.

Kyshakk Koan Drakon Sssharxx Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Statistics is a lesson that was the one i hated most, the scurge to the maths subject. i had the occasional lesson that for some reason i paid attention, it came to my exam at the end of the year and i knew nothing. I had two weeks to learn what i was suppost to learn in a year. Out came the maths book and for two weeks solid i self taught myself the whole of the Stats silibus. I wouldent have botherd if i dident need it to pass my maths and get into next year. Anyhow i suppose your right about the khyrites being shunned, like i said they were mostly exiled shapers that became hermits and practiced their shapeing in secret still.
