| − | Wow. Given [[Talk:Cranee_Historical_Society|the recent state of the art]], this entry is like
| + | {{ResolvedTalk}} |
| − | a worst case scenario. I introduce all of this throw-away history for the sake of a cheap joke.

| − | But it's a joke I kinda like; If anybody is annoyed by The Habit of Coming Up With Long Names
| |
| − | For Imperial Cultures That Could Just As Easily Be Anonymous, lemme know and I'll cut

| − | == Citation problem ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | All of your formal citations are to phantoms. You have to cite one actually existing article and two novel phantoms (which must be the ''only'' novel phantoms in your text). I find the hardest part of writing Ghyll entries to be finding the most relevant actually existing article (I fudged it in the [[Conflict That Is Not Happening]] by implying that the most important part of the article was the part removed by the Copy Editor). Picking just two novel terms to turn into phantoms is also difficult. --[[User:Jcowan|Jcowan]] 09:08, 27 Sep 2004 (EDT)

| − | Something else of a "mindbender" for me was discovering that I didn't actually need to create new phantoms, at least, if I understand the Rules now. As long as I reference two, as yet undefined, phantoms, I do not need to create new ones. --[[User:PhineasCrank|Doctor Phineas Crank]] 10:51, 27 Sep 2004 (EDT)

| − | | |
| − | "Eke" means "augment", as in "ekename" (which later became "nickname"), a name that augments your original name. So the phrase "eke out a meager [or meagre, if you're a Brit] living by X" means to ''augment'' the meager living you already have from some other source Y (farming, fishing, or what not) by doing X as well.

| − | You got it. I spaced the whole Third Avazian War bizness. I'll fix the existing citations. I'd like some "This isn't good Ghyll" Commentary, though- There's been a lot of discussion about our aims recently, that I've missed, and I don't what to be the guy who swerves left after we've agreed as a body to turn right. (Also, the eke will be changed ASAP. Thanks for the help!)
