New Contest: Name That Winnak!

Post by Woapalanne »

Okay, so, the aether winnak that Eli spared is going to stick around. Right now, it's still a little scared of Pi, so it's hiding a lot. But it's going to follow them back to their world. It needs a name though!

So, post suggestions! After we have a handful of good suggestions, I'll start up a voting poll. Whoever suggests the name that wins gets ... um... a drawing or something. :)

Puff II! Sparky! Unnamed Extra #369! Winnak! Uh, Eli junior!

...okay, maybe I should leave this naming thing to someone else.

Let's call the Winnak "Random". And it shall draw things and make typos.

This is posted on behalf of Doruk, who seemed to like the idea.
Cthlulhu fhtagn that people would quit trying to wake him.

Or Flit

Seeing as how they look like they'd kinda flit around.

"Yum"

Or, if Eli wishes to attempt to counter-balance it's cuteness, he could name it "Lucifer" or "Puke-Stain" or something...

Quick name list, deleting some that would be too awkward to use regularly:

Epic: Yum or Lucifer [Puke-stain isn't ... erm... good.]

Wildt: Flit [Menchi is copyrighted ;) ]

Doruk + Alfy: Random

Riz: Puff II or Sparky or Winnak

I'll cut off the suggestions at the end of the third storyline, and then set up a vote through the end of the fourth storyline. :) Eli'll name it sometime in the fifth storyline, or in Chapter 9, depending on how far ahead I get.

Actually, as far as I know, names aren't copyrighted. And I like Menchi. :P

Okay, voting time! The poll closes on 30 April or 1 May, I'm not sure how the poll-close-date thingy works. Either way, that's when the final storyline, Prophecy, starts.

In other news, I have uploaded the rest of Chapter 8. All the way to 21 May. Whee!

Oh yeah - and the poor thing probably won't actually get its name until Chapter 10. ;) Sorry bout that, but Chapter 9 is a little too fast-paced.

NOOOOOO! I have missed my chance to set that arrogant Jabberclown straight. Once again, my plans for "Little Ed" "Little Paradox" or just "Paradox" will have to wait. So, I went with random.

And tis done. Random won with 50% of the votes, which doesn't really say a whole lot. Eli shall name the winnak on 1 June.

Though I voted for Menchi, I can't help but feel that Random is a uniquely excellent name worthy to be worn only by the greatest of beings, and the voters have shown themselves to have very good taste.

Not that I'm biased or anything.
