really? Bad Fax! There are no flowers, no not this time. There will be no angels gracing the lines, just these stark words I find.

I was on a Dune kick at the time. Blindness Is A Blessing

...Should we rename Muad'Dib? It is, after all, stolen directly from Dune. Blindness Is A Blessing

We proly should... There are no flowers, no not this time. There will be no angels gracing the lines, just these stark words I find.

What do we name it then? Blindness Is A Blessing

goood question. No idea There are no flowers, no not this time. There will be no angels gracing the lines, just these stark words I find.

Sounds too much like Whoreginia, the land of STD's. :P There are no flowers, no not this time. There will be no angels gracing the lines, just these stark words I find.

Horjinia? (pronounced like Virginia) They call it a signature, but no one ever signs their posts...Edited by: osmose1000 at: 8/16/05 13:32

Vietfael Horjin? Translation is "Horjin's Island." Blindness Is A Blessing

High-oh!*swings a pantomime golf club like Johnny Carson* There are no flowers, no not this time. There will be no angels gracing the lines, just these stark words I find.

Quote:Vietfael Horjin That looks Dutch. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing, just a weird one. As for changing the name because it's from Dune... I dunno, I wouldn't think it necessary. I like the name well enough. I mean, the Landsraad is much more of a rip-off, if you think about it; the island has no relation to the character Muad'dib other than being named after him, but the Landsraad not only takes it name from the Dune universe, but also the associated idea of a council of nobles from across a feudally structured empire coming together to make legislative decisions under the authority of a monarch....Incidentally, didn't Muad'dib used to have its name spelled differently? I remember seeing it with a variant spelling on an older map; maybe we could just revert to that, if we could find it...

I think I used to spell it incorrectly every so often to avoid the shame of someone noticing we were copying Dune so blatantly.What about keeping it simialr but disguising it, like Muadhibh (very Irish) or Moadev or Muad'dib as transliterated into some other language real or imagined?

The other problem is that the Horjinic language doesn't include an "M" sound. Blindness Is A Blessing

just another interesting little quirk of this place. Heh There are no flowers, no not this time. There will be no angels gracing the lines, just these stark words I find.

I was also thinking: Naudia'Diva. Blindness Is A Blessing

Doesn't sound too bad...

I like the sound of that. There are no flowers, no not this time. There will be no angels gracing the lines, just these stark words I find.

Naudia'Diva it is.That's basically "Horjinizing" Muad'Dib. Blindness Is A Blessing

Of course, now we'll need a modified banner for the forum listings.

That will be done shortly. :-D Blindness Is A Blessing

Huzzah! There are no flowers, no not this time. There will be no angels gracing the lines, just these stark words I find.

Just remember that you don't have the right to edit Shirewiki articles to reflect the name change - the stuff in the past happened to Maud'Dib, not this new name. They call it a signature, but no one ever signs their posts...

not true really. There are no flowers, no not this time. There will be no angels gracing the lines, just these stark words I find.

I did edit most relevant articles in the Wiki. I did not, however, (after prompting by important people) change things like Imperial Decrees and such. Blindness Is A Blessing

That's what I meant - Erik mentioned it to me just to make sure you got it., I didn't mean EVERY article, just stuff like decrees, you know? They call it a signature, but no one ever signs their posts...

Erik isnt involved anymore... There are no flowers, no not this time. There will be no angels gracing the lines, just these stark words I find.

In Shireroth. Shirewiki? Totally different story. They call it a signature, but no one ever signs their posts...

I only originally changed the decree because scott told me to.l Blindness Is A Blessing

SCOTT, YOU GOT SOME 'SPLAININ TO DO! They call it a signature, but no one ever signs their posts...
