All though I know I had to get around it eventually I figured I would just wait until the last minuet. Then "The Great Beta" thread graced us & that glimmer of beta hope has shined for me. (That and work is slow right now...)

Also, thought it might be a great way to hear some others idea's on surnames. See how creative some of you plan on being. As for me I have decided to go with Kyoshindi Parashu.

"Kyoshindi" meaning, well not a damn thing. Just something a friend pulled out of his butt many years ago and I have since used for everything online.
"Parashu" meaning Battle-axe (Indian).


I'm fairly sure it won't be a common surname and chances are if someone else uses it they'll be a rocking an Great too. So I don't mind, I'll just they're my children Smiley: grin

Well my name SO FAR will be Moki Sunscar.

Moki is my real life nickname. Everyone calls me that now. xD
Sunscar...well I couldn't think of anything else but it sounds decent. I guess I could think up some meaning for it since I'll be a Keeper of the Sun. /shrug

It's catchy, I like it.

Moki Sunscar: named for the hordes of fallen foes, who are baptized in the blazing heat exuded by the swing of his Axe. Told you work was slow...



Also, I don't know why, but from some reason your name maned me think of Scar (Lion King). It just popped into my head. Weird...

Great work Kyo! I like it, and it kind of gives me an idea for a backstory. ^~^

And really? Well I am going to be a kitty as well... but I think Scar is a little too dark-esque for me. xD I like my character's theme to be more Sunny/Happy than Scar-y.

Lol see what I did there?

Good one there, but just for the record. The Scar bit was completely random and had no bearing the earlier line of thought.

Fixed as per your choice of the kitty... Smiley: grin

alex- something most likely.

my ff11 name was alexandras (randomly generated no less) but i stuck with it because my favorite esper by far is alexander, and ive always had a soft spot for alexander/alexandra as a name.

so some derivative of that. surname will likely be gaarmsson, named after the orc warrior a friend of mine had in WoW and in a bit of an homage to a friend who passed away recently (she was in the SCA and very much in love with the viking lore, so a nordic-sounding name was in order).

That is a very nice gesture. Also, the fact that she loved Norse mythos is just awesome. That alone tells me I would have gotten along quiet well with her.

you would have liked her kyo. if you know anything about the SCA, she was queen of the kingdom of caid on two separate occasions. her name was kolfinna kottir in the SCA, and she was one of those rare women who donned the full plate mail and went in swinging on the front lines. the woman was literally a tank. a big, huggable, loveable tank who was just as much at home naked and drunk in the hot tub as she was smashing the face of whoever was dumb enough to stand in her way.

my intention next week, when i visit my mom in vegas, is to take a shot of jager in her honor. thatll be two for me right off the bat, and of course ill be needing to sample some of their fine dunkel and hefeweizen (liter mug, natch) so suffice it to say i wont be driving that night.

I have no personal experience with them but I do know what the SCA is and am thoroughly impressed.

Your description of her has put a big 'ol smile on my face. I will definitely be buying a bottle of Jager next week when I get paid and I will gladly finish that bottle in one sitting in her honor.

Crizum, which I've used for awhile now as my xbl/psn/ffxi name as a first name, it's hard to hammer a last name down though because it also has to gel with my fiancee's name of Lomelindi :/

smith. this way you two can be mr. and mrs. smith. you could even get your own LS and name it "brangelina" and try to make all your retainers small and dark-skinned.

I ended up having a small celebration at home after being able to add a certain service to my SE account Fri. Surprisingly a friend brought over a bottle of Jager. I realized I did not have a name to toast to, so instead I read off your description and toasted to this women we could only wish to have had the honor of meeting. It wasn't a large bottle, but I finished it off as quick as I could. Granted my tolerance has fallen in recent years but I still am proud to say I can down just about anything in one sitting still. Give or take about a gallon on an empty stomach

After several more rounds we moved to the back yard. We figured she probably rather see us beating each other senseless in her honor than just playing some generic drinking game. So after a little deliberation we decided upon a sword ((nerf, the hard foam ones) & (make shift) polearm batter over a walkway(left over 2x10's) laid out across the deep end of my pool. It was truly a grand event. From what I remember...

I'm picturing a drunkard arm wrestling some barmaid from his tab while wearing some 17th century getup...

well, my mom and i (my mom was the DD for the night) went to the hofbrau haus in vegas. our waitress (or in this case, beermaiden) was named peggy, and she was ten kinds of cute and awesome. busty enough to make a man forget his troubles. naturally curly brunette, and with a ready smile and a helluva batters arm (this will be relevant later).

i started out ordering two shots of jager; one for me, and one for kitty (yes, that is actually the real name of my friend). as per tradition at the hofbrau haus in las vegas, taking a shot of jager means your beermaiden gets to paddle your ass, and peggy did not disappoint.

dinner consisted of a liter of the lager and their nurnburger sausages, complete with saurkraut and garlic mashed potatoes. desert consisted of another two shots; apple schnapps this time, complete with another two paddlings from peggy (one for tradition and one because kitty probably would have said i needed another one anyway).

peggy then asked if there was anything else i needed to which i replied in my suave drunkenness "aside from lunch with you, no, we're good, thanks." her expression told me that i was going to be rejected, so i played it off as a joke, but the risk was worth it regardless; this girl is seriously cute and awesome.

the night ended with peggy telling us she would keep the two filled shots of jager and apple schnapps on the table as long as she could. i bade her farewell and my mom and i drove home.

im also fairly drunk. who knew two shots of hard liquor and a liter of 9% alcohol beer would do that to you?

that's a pretty fantastic story. My latest beer-quest (think conquest):

My gf and I went to DC last weekend to visit her cousins. One of the cousins took us to a bar called "Churchkey". This place was like beer heaven. There were stacks of kegs from floor to ceiling. The entire bar was wood and was probably close to 100 feet long. There were tables and seating where servers would literally just hover around your table and grab you anything you wanted within seconds of finishing your previous beer.

They had over 100 different beers on tap including 6 different oak cask aged beers. I started off with the oak casked vanilla bean porter. They even serve it at the appropriate 50-52 degrees for the maximum flavor. It definitely did not dissapoint. I then switched to a very mild and smooth Heffeweizen which was surprisingly delicious. Sorry the names are escaping me right now. I finished the evening with a pint of oaked arrogant bastard ale, and a 4 oz. sampler of each of the remaining 4 oaked beers. The most memorable was a scotch ale that had been aged for 6 months in oak. It was smoky, rich, and superb.

I should probably mention that most of the beers I had were 8+% alcohol, and the scotch ale was almost 12%. By the time I finally stood up again, I was quite drunk and happily payed my tab while slurring my way through some conversations with the wait staff. All in all, it was a pretty excellent experience.

Didn't know that FFXIV allows surnames, so now I need to think of something before Sept 22nd!
