Destrillians: R2 - Discussion

[Alex]

God I hope Viola IS being changed. Because, god, do I ever hate it.

(spoiler: lol guess which side of dale's meeting im going to come down like a ton of bricks on)

 

[Bex]

i will attempt to be around on saturday life
though it will require me to take hours out of my busy social life

 

[Hisako]

What's wrong with Viola? Hate is a rather extreme thing to be doing on a name.

 

[Joe]

Reginald it may be a good idea for you to brainstorm some names to replace: hopper, rider, kamen, etc etc.

 

[Joker]

As much as I hate to say it...

Fanged Lightning Mk. XIII

 

[Joe]

Hey now. I love that name.

If the Fanged Lightning goes, I go.

 

[Baldy]

We should compile a list of things that need changing before the meeting, to save on time.

 

[Alex]

Destrillian, Derinium, Distrum, Viola, Artolia, Alvyssia, Audoula (maybe idk), Osea, everything Rider related

...

profit?

I'd say that was an easy enough list but shit dawg, they names be showin up everywhere.

 

[Alessa Gillespie]

Destrillian, Derinium, Distrum, Viola, Artolia, Alvyssia, Audoula (maybe idk), Osea, everything Rider related

are these being changed for any reason besides not liking the name? i dont think anyone honestly has any ip rights to those

 

[Bex]

Alvyssia doesn't need changing because I came up with it iirc.
Osea is a place in the Ace Combat games.
Artolia is from Valkyrie Profile, as is Audoula.

BOOM VIDJA GAME KNOWLEDGE

 

[Strangelove]

yay if i ever fucking write something i don't need to change names because i made them all up

don't have to change them for legal reasons, at least

 

[Baldy]

SO CAN WE TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO CHANGE AUDOULA INTO A NAME THAT ACTUALLY, Y'KNOW, WORKS WITH THE FRENCH LANGUAGE?

Srsly guys I've tried a billion different times and the pronunciation just never works.

Oh also there are some bits and pieces on the world map that are named after places in Mass Effect, I think? Don't know much about it but while we're at it, may as well check it out.

 

[Alex]

They've been subtly changed, but yeah agreed. A lot of those were placeholder names anyway. But that is all cool with me.

 

[Mantichorus]

I'll be around at 10pm GMT on Saturday night

Is that 10pm GMT as in 10pm UK time, or 10pm GMT 11pm UK time? (God, I hate BST.)

Anyway, around 10pm BST is the latest for me, I'm afraid. I've been losing sleep lately, and it's making me extremely irritable (as in, toddler) and feeling ill. And unfortunately...

Also anyone who cannot attend I suggest doing what mumble is and just leaving your MSN online and we will add you to the convo.

Can't do this, cos the house net is turned off whenever my mother's boyfriend drags himself to bed (usually 11, 11.30), so I'd lose the connection. =/

On the plus side, I'm usually awake at times most people consider early (yeah, even if I'm sleep deficient), so I'll be able to get the low down from the Antipodeans.

I do know that we WILL have to rename a lot of stuff so that SE doesn't sue the pants off of us. One of the first things I noticed when I got tricked into reading a few posts before joining () was that a lot of names of things and people are from one of their games, which might be trouble down the line.

It depends to what degree the names were borrowed. A mix and match name counts as an original idea (although Patriq Josefson comes from Paterson Joseph, as Mateus Smythe is Matt Smith, and Grant Richardson is Richard E Grant).

Although, as we've seen in recent years, having a pre-existing character called Harry Potter does not mean that legally JK Rowling ripped you off.

 

[Joker]

Alvyssia doesn't need to be changed, nor, IMO, Osea.

 

[Sheva Alomar]

Throwing this out there to kick things off: Viola changed to Vanguard?

 

[Hisako]

Can't we just pass half of them off as cultural references anyway?

It's not like these gigantic videogame companies are going to sue our ass into the ground










right? ;-;

 

[Joe]

I'm personally not too keen on Vanguard.

 

[Super Mario]

[Joe]

I'm fitting a breathalyzer to Reg's computer. If he doesn't pass then he can't sign in. I'm still working out a few kinks so you'll have to put up with this for now.

 

[Super Mario]

NAZARA THE SOVEREIGN SPEAKS



BOW MERE MORTALS, MERE LYVERIUSES AND MERE DESTRILLIANS FOR YOUR GOD HAS CAME FROM THE BLACKNESS OF SPACE AND REACHED OUT INTO THE DIRT AND CREATED THE DINT OF LIFE UPON YOUR BODIES


YOU WILL FEEL MY SWINGING GIRTH FOR I AM THE PARTYING REAPER

 

[Tennyo]

Mumble, what are you doing?

I don't think we have to change every name. For starters, you can't copyright just a name, so calling a motorcycle "Fanged Lightning," wouldn't get us in trouble with Square Enix or anything.

It's just using stuff from the original RP. The person who created it can claim plagiarism.

But unless we were to make money off this I doubt this would ever be the case, though.

 

[Joe]

Yes....But Fanged Lightning is a terrible name.
