Oh yeah? So complete this sentence for me : "Do not {insert your words here} when stating the name of a Sandgorgon is enough."

I have an scepter of true wood, this allows me to see through your deceptions. It was YOU who said that, not me.

You have to KNOW that its the name of a Sandgorgon, you know.

The only reason you lot of poorly trained masochists have survived thus far is because you think its all a big joke, and hence aren't really aware of the dangers of speaking that name.

One day, someone's gonna be in an entirely accepting state of mind, and drop the name ... and then it'll be all over, Red Rover!

Warned yer. Told yer twice.

Did anyone try discussing ballet?

nom yourself

I don't think typing Nom is quite the same thing as saying his name. Of course I don't think it applies now that Nom is free. Nom. Oh and one other thing Nom.

Post by **Forestal** » Wed Nov 12, 2003 10:55 pm

good point, nom is free so his name doesn't actually effect him... kayreyn is dead, so technically so should all his works, including sandgorgon's doom. which makes his "imprefection" of the gorgon's naming irrelivent...

landwaster, you worry over nothing

I guess you're right, none of yers've been stomped on yet.

Still don't feel like typing it, meself, though.

There you go, Landwaster. Now you're exercising your observational powers.

What if Nom wasn't really his name? What if that's just a... hem, pseudonom SRD felt more comfortable using?

Post by **Forestal** » Thu Nov 13, 2003 10:48 pm

yeah, he was really called "Nomulous Maximus the seventeen earl of gorgonia"

i think his name really was Nom

Now, I haven't been around the watch for a little while and after having read this thread all I have is a single, three lettered word to speak:

WOW
You guys have hit a serious level of silliness....

anyway, I agree with Forestal - the effect was used up by our beloved TC his own bad self - it wouldn't have any effect to once again utter...

Impossible. "nom" means "name".

nom de plume
nom de voyage
nom de guerre

That's a pretty cool point that I never thought of, Joy. Another word that means "name" is n**enclature!
