Not Western, probably would work.

I actually thought of it

(It meaning the region being named after violet)

Not a bad idea though... Until sinker 11 comes into existence.

Annnnnd not a bad idea until you realized there's a UCR of that same name dating back till 2003.

Atlantis, like Ygdrassil, is an established UCR...

The East Pacific was established prior to being 'annointed' as a GCR too.

I suspect given the wide assortment of alternative names for a possible new sinker, that if [v] decides to add any she'll easily be able to avoid yanking somebody's long-standing UCR out from under them.

EDIT TO ADD: Some newly-minted region somebody makes for the lawls, on the other hand...

Yeah, and it was what, a few weeks old? A few months? Opposed to years...

I wouldn't be also surprised if he suggested it to attack a defender - namely Anime Daisuki who founded the region and spent literally hundreds of real cash on recruiting people to Ygg.

Todd didn't propose Yggdrasil, he proposed Atlantis... Which is an FRA region, but I'm sure he didn't know that...

Whatever it is called just do it when I am not online please. I can do without the drama :lol2:

Nah, Todd and I are good. It's been a long time since we faced each other in the battlefield. Very long.

Turning to the topic, if equality is the reason we are doing this, then I'd suggest using an Asian goddess from either Chinese or Indian lore. All the current ones are from European or Egyptian legends. Do we really need more from the same old places?

Sorry to be a wet blanket all of a sudden - it's a cool idea, but I'm having trouble seeing how this is needed right now, or how this would be different than what happened when Balder and Osiris were created.

GCR individual?

The game created you? :shock:

That said, I personally like the idea of a female name for a sinker, but only when there is a need for it indeed.

Where is an Aphrodite, and Artemis, and Athena, or an Isis?

I would like to start a petition for a new GCR named after a female figure of power. Even Jennifer would work

Find us some female mythological figures that continue the sinker theme about death/resurrection.

Hel.

'Inanna'.
Sumerian equivalent of Ishtar, went down into the Underworld (and returned) on a retrieval mission...

I really like that.

Thanks.

EDIT: Looks like someone made Persephone last night.

I quite like Izanami.

And seems a couple of the suggestions were created last night.

by **The Blaatschapen** » Fri Apr 04, 2014 4:55 am

I'm in favour of naming such a GCR 'Reploid Productions'.

Noone survives her sword of DEAT, after all

There's a defense against that?

by **Enfaru** » Fri Apr 04, 2014 5:01 am

Yeah... the Grand Staff of Violet. ;D

Still, I too would support a "Reploid Productions" one!

Ishtar has such a nice ring to it though.

Indeed. I made a Mesopotamia puppet for it. Anunnakia

Whoever takes control of Ishtar if it happens, I know a lot about Mesopotamia and can speak some Sumerian so I can help with ideas.
