| − | 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!)

| − | Well, my suggestion may not be good Ghyll, but how about including where the Dagger Seas are in relation to something else which we know the location of? It might be nice, since you've done so much work on the geography of all this already, to know where the shore actually is in relation to, say, Folktown. Also, it would make a map easier.... --[[User:PhineasCrank|Doctor Phineas Crank]] 08:35, 28 Sep 2004 (EDT)
