Rat Race: Rename?

DeLukas · 06-07-2001, 12:23 PM

Rat Race will be coming down for a bit (not that any of you play during the day(or play on my server

)) for me to install the DnD mod.

I am also taking votes/suggestions on a new name for the server.

It will be up 24/7 (minus upgrades, mods installs, experaments, crashes, etc, etc, etc) from now on.

Sweet!

THZ Eyrie
THZ Talon
THZ Realm

Give me a day or two and I can get a bunch to choose from.

Assuming you want to give it a THZ name (guess he knows what my aTHZ vote is

)

What I don't understand is how we're the hounds of Zeus, and we're going to name our server after an Eagle's nest/physical feature....

I know you're a Gryphon, and all, but it's a little.... lacking in universal appeal, I think.

Now... for names... we could call it the HOZ, or Olympus, or maybe the kennel. (

) I just don't want people asking me what an eyrie has to do with Hounds. Or maybe we can come up with some other universal place names, like Dale, Cave, Lair, the like.

Ghryphen · 06-07-2001, 12:54 PM

The Hounds of Zeus ARE griffons/gryphons/.... They are not dogs.

*of coures this is all under the assumtion that he wants a THZ name for it*

Aluscia · 06-07-2001, 01:04 PM

QWEH?!?!?! I'm really really confused now... I think My brain just exploded....

Now that that's worn off, what did you say? Is this why I've been confused for all of this time? I always wondered what was going on with the wierd bird.... now I know...

ROFL

Quote:

Mythological beasts commonly depicted as having the head, forelegs and wings of an eagle, and the hindquarters, tail and occasionally ears of a lion. They have been known for centuries as symbols of strength and vigilance, and have been called "The Hounds of Zeus". In some mythologies, they represent the wealth of the sun. In others, they are said to have hoardes of fabulous treasure, which they guard endlessly.

This is where I came up with the name when I knew I wanted a griffon theme to the clan I was starting.

That prolly explains "Fear the Talon" also.

Don't laugh at me... I seriously didn't know that, and I'm sure some others didn't know that either. You should seriously send that quote out with the corporate letter, or something... post it on the site... I seriously DID NOT know that....wow....
