Okay, I'll admit that was probably one too much. On topic, I've always read it as "guh-bah-gee". No idea if that's correct or not, though.


If only we had access to some tool, some device which would connect us to a large amount of data, maybe even some kind of search methodology which we could use to find such things out? Oh curses that we don't have access to such a thing. Woe is me!

Also: You guys are still arguing in here? I left like 100 posts ago, ironically after someone complained that I was just dragging a dead horse topic on and on.


if everyone making fun of your flip out is arguing, then yes we are still at it.

Are you seriously suggesting that people should waste time conducting a search to find out how to pronounce your nonsensical username?

I could only be ***** to check the first google hit, but I learned so much:

Quote:
Who Was Gbaji?

Gbaji is the most sophisticated form of Chaos that has yet invaded Glorantha. Because of Gbaji, all beings are diminished.

The Five Forms of Chaos are: Kajabor, Gorp, Pocharngo, Wakboth, and Gbaji. Each Form is more insidious than the previous. Kajabor, the Black Hole, is the master of Entropy, and destroys all traces of its victims, including the names and memories of the victim. Gorp destroys the physical form of its victims, but neither the names nor the memories of the victim are destroyed. Pocharngo does not destroy the victim, but rather warps the body of the victim into unrecognizability. Wakboth, the Devil, is the Moral Corruption of Glorantha. Though he can and has corrupted the body, he prefers to corrupt the spirit and ethics by compelling the victim to choose Chaos over Order through fear of pain, death, or annihilation.

Gbaji is far worse. The victims are not corrupted, but rather tempted to follow Gbaji of their own free will. GabijÕs followers believe that because Order and Chaos are not opposites, their personal desires and personal ethics are not opposite either. Anything they do is justifiable, including embracing Chaos. They are spoiled children, who think only of themselves.

Gbaji was not always like this. Everyone agrees that the god Nysalor was created in the year 375 S.T. (111,596 Y.S.) by the efforts of the Second Council, also called the Broken Council. The cult of the Bright God grew peacefully until a prophet of Nysalor corrupted herself in order to further spread the cult. After this event, Gbaji was created from Nysalor, and thousands followed him and spread Chaos.

Also, he is a rapist.

If only, during the time you took to write that, you could have taken an additional 4.5 seconds to just tell us.

EDIT: beaten to the punch!

Well anyway, after a few minutes of googling, this is what I got:

If you're named after a character in the game RuneQuest (which would be my guess), then it's pronounced g'BAH-jee, which is another way to write what I had assumed it to be. It's also the name of a town in Nigeria, and the last name of a few people, as well. Not sure about their pronunciations, but I'm guessing they're more or less the same.

While we're on the topic, almost everyone pronounces my forum name wrong. It's more like "esk-uh", though in games everyone usually pronounces it as "esk-ee" or "esk-ay".

Did you leave to go rape something?


I bet he can't prove he didn't.

I'm not saying he raped anyone, I just think it's odd that he has no alibi for his unexplained disappearance when that rape occurred.

Someone figure out what that policy and let me know what it is so I can violate it.

Not sure what your point is. I took the exact same approach in both cases. The difference being that what Joph did was merely annoying and he did eventually knock it off, while what Guenny did was far more serious and she was insulting about it after I asked her to rectify the situation. You do understand that attempting to resolve things first by acting like adults and speaking to each other about the issue doesn't preclude going to an authority afterwards depending on the seriousness of the act and the response of the person, right? I mean, you act as though there's no middle ground between not running off to the admins at the first sign of butthurt and always doing so.
