Unflappable Drayk Sleeping Dragon Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Yay, Diki! I'm surprised you're still so far down on the top posters list. During my time here, at least, you've been probably the most prolific poster that I can think of, aside from occasional bursts from newer members now and again. That might be completely statistically inaccurate, though, in which case that simply means your posts have been the most memorable. Congrats!

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Congratulations Dikiyoba. You're over a third of the way to Alorael's ever increasing post count. You'll be there in no time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Spddin Ignis Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 pshhh. I haven't slowed down on posts sense i've joined the forum, and all of them are filled with poetic insight. Congrats diki. Almost at the 7000 mark..only 994 left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt JadeWolf Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 648+994 does not make 7000 ^^ Or did I miss something there? Congrats Diki! Is it a coincidence Episode 6 surfaces at around the same time as this milestone? Maybe you can include me in this one. I seem to recall being killed in episode 2 - maybe I can have a more glorified part. Perhaps some day I will reach 606. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnificent Ornk Aran Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Keeping track of many personal pronouns like eir, it, hir, ze and more is too difficult even for this German who to grammatical constructs and subclauses that forever before they in verbs finish extend used is (yay for Reverse Polish Syntax!), so Dikiyoba's name sounds like the best way to consistently refer to Dikiyoba. (Put another way: Pronouns are too puny for Dikiyoba.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Think "Raphael" but with a different first syllable. —Alorael, who has never understood the A-lor-ee-uhl pronunciation. There are plenty of -ael names derived from Hebrew, and while they have no consistency in pronunciation, they are consistently not pronounced like that. (Also, it's odd that Rachael is the only feminine one, and the ending is not that in Hebrew.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt JadeWolf Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 So it's more al-or-ai-el? (ai as rhyming with "high") Because that's the way I would pronounce Raphael. Though I always thought it was al-or-ael (rhyming with ale). I suppose my daily speaking of French has tainted my pronunciation of Raphael, more like.

Magnificent Ornk Student of Trinity Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Did Alorael mean to be regarding Ordinance, or Ordnance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Ordinance, the practice of ordination. —Alorael, who doesn't have much of a preference for how his name is pronounced. The last three letters could be -ale, -eye-el, ah-el, -eel, -uhl, or -al. He just can't think of occasions on which -ael is -ee-uhl or why it would be pronounced in such a way.

Well-Actually War Trall A less presumptuous name. Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 And Spddin, we don't spell you name wrong on purpose. I tend to either copy/paste or double check my spellings. That said, Al-O-Ray-El. Or however you want to write out the pronunciation.
