Ah, Gio's here? That's... actually a bit surprising. Interesting, in fact. I've already got an awesome idea for my characters. I just need to think of names that don't make me sound so much like a weeaboo. |

Brittanica defines it as "a non-Japanese person exhibiting an obsessive admiration for Japanese anime that often extends to the broader Japanese culture." Though I tend to actually fit the bill for that, I'm using it in more of a negative sense generally as someone who wishes they were japanese, and uses japanese terms and other such things incorrectly, mixing it in with their English. Though I was more-or-less simply making fun of myself, seeing as I used super-japanese names that I just randomly picked out of anime. |

I generally do research on a name if I'm going to go with a foreign name, like how common it is, what its origin is, what it means, etc., to make sure it seems accurate. That being said, many anime use composite english names or names that aren't necessarily in common use, sometimes even completely made up names, so I don't really see the problem with making pseudo-Japanese names, especially since this is a board that is based on a Japanese anime/videogame where many characters have made up names anyway.

Honestly if you want to make the names accurate you'd name your op Wifi Torrent. I mean really. Lan? Mayl? Edited by Norivia, Mar 2 2010, 05:33 PM.

"Wifi Torrent?" That has a ridiculously nice ring to it. That'd actually be hilarious when going up against a Big Bad. Bad Guy: "WHO ARE YOU?!" MY NAME IS WIFI TORRENT. YOU DELETED MY PIRATED MUSIC. PREPARE TO DIE! Bad Guy: "NOOOOO!" |

I did name a state of Netopia Wifiland, but Wifi Torrent does sound like a pretty sweet name. |

A note: This board, whether people agree or not, needs to be made by ALL of us. All meaning, we were all there before and we all have ideas on how to fix the major issues that were there. So basically, we should all suggest stuff! Which is what we're already doing sort of. But if we's gonna rebuild this place I think it should be more than just "let's sit around and wait for Siggy and Kaiune to finish." OK I'm done with (sort of) pointless ranting now.

Why's it surprising that I'm here? V2 and V3 were my boards, so why wouldn't I peek around at a V4, even if I won't be very active? |

Now that you mention it... it's not that surprising. Bad choice o' words, sorry. Either way, it's awesome to see you again. |
