KupoCon Europe - Mind The Pom - March 25, 2017

Fangu

Haha yeah that's another thing, I bet nobody would be able to pronounce my name people do it here anyway, best case it'll sound like Mage's name and the confusion would be complete :monster:

(I'm completely fine with the English pronunciation though, that or Fangu, or Frangu; I'll probably respond to 'hey Bucket Head' too)

I'll just try and do yours with the weird mid-word scandinavian pause where they make everything sound like a question. "An'nne?" or something :monster:

Or just default to calling people "Hey uuuuhhh", make weird gestures and facial expressions, facepalm about having forgotten names again whilst going "aargh", etc.

Start practicing :monster:

That being said, this lady has a very Oslo dialect ish heavy accent, so it's not how my mother would say my name - but I'm not even sure you would be able to tell the difference tbh :wacky:

Kinda sounds like Honour. :monster: I'll do my best not to butcher it but I expect it'll be dependent on my blood-alcohol levels.
 

Fangu

hahaha "Honour" is a pretty good name for me anyway now innit? :wacky:

not really :lol:

Anyway when I work with English speaking people they use the English variant anyway so - plus we will be in English language territory :monster:

Ok but you can pronounce Sarah like Norwegians do if you want. It'll make me seem interesting and exotic despite having one of the most boring default female names on the planet :monster:

Get me drunk first :monster:

I was actually discussing this with Lex recently, whether or not I'm inclined to get used to real names for the trip or if usernames roll off the tongue easier. Whatever is less weird I guess.

I've been largely inclined to use screen names when I've met people. Obviously people like Carlie preclude this, but I pretty much exclusively called everyone Lith, Ite, Tenny, JT, etc. And I always figured I'd say Lex, Fangu, and Yop too :monster: When I was with Tenny and her friends last May I called her by her name so as not to be weird :P
 

Tetsujin

he/they
AKA
Tets
If I met online people I think it'd be weird if they called me by my legal name :monster:
I feel like that would make it more formal? Or something.

As far as I'm concerned, Tet or Tets is no less valid a name for me :monster:
I've been going by it for over 13 years after all :wacky:
 

Carlie

Yeah we all called each other by our online nicknames during KupoCon. In fact when I met Force at Distant Worlds h was going in the row behind me and I called him Force twice but he didn't hear. Since I couldn't remember his real name, I smacked him in the leg to get his attention and then I remembered his name was John. :monster:
 

RedFFWolf

Donator
Who needs pizza when one can just chobble on a full English in the morning and beer for the rest of the day? :monster:

fuck knows I'll need a lot of alcohol. Why did I get talked into this :monster:

At Newark, from 5AM till midnight, I ran my day on two cans of Monster Energy, a bag of apple slices that I didn't finish, and some flavoured cracker-crisp hybrid snacks that were given to me by an attendee (those cracker things saved my life - I'm joking, but on a spiritual level I'm not :P)
So, yes, I may in fact need pizza, haha. (And, mostly, it's because I don't eat meat and don't drink and thus need something else to try and fit in with normal people...)


On the subject of names, at TBP for the most part I called everyone by their real names. I feel Lex is the only one I'd come more naturally to call Lex because it's as good as his actual name, like a legitimate nickname or if people called me "Al" instead of "Alan".
I suppose I'll call you by your forum name too, Joe - or, just to be unnecessarily awkward, address you solely by your surname :awesome:

(P.S. If people call me by my forum name, I only accept the full name. Not "Red", but full on "RedFFWolf" - it's one syllable, by the way).
 

Lex

Fangu's name is pronounced like "...uhhhhnnnnn-eh", me likey

That said I use forum names, Yop and Mage are already aware of this. I can't dissociate, soz XD

LIIIIIIIIICCCCCC SKREEEEEEEEE :joy:

You'll have to wear a white carnation or something so we know it's you. We won't blow you cover ;)
 
I am very boring in real life. You will see me sitting in the cafe between events doing marking on my laptop.

Actually I am rather excited to meet all of you, but seriously, when I say I could be your mother, I mean it. I doubt you'll have much trouble identifying me. I've always been pretty self-conscious about my age, but it seems that my love of Final Fantasy is stronger ever than my self-consciousness.

I'll just look for the most hipster multinational type, should be easy enough to spot.

Also @ fangu, that google translate one will pronounce your name slightly more err, elongated when you hit the 'pronounce' button a second time. TIL!

here's mine; it's okayish. idk. https://translate.google.com/#nl/en/Freek

There's no Frisian pronunciation, boo.

Why does it sound like shes saying Snake? But it rhymes with Snake yeah? Frake?

You will always be Yop and/or Freek Wisteria* to me :monster:

*yes I know this isn't how it's spelt

I'm actually starting to get a little nervous, not so much about meeting you guys, just the journey and stuff. Like I'm getting nervous of getting nervous for fucks sake:lol:
