Familiar names

[Jayhawk]

I've been looking at the animations displayed on the main page and found quite a few familar names ;)

Merepatra They really made you look lovely, didn't they?

Amurit (who I noticed on the member list)

Nefermenu

I'm intrigued by this little chap, though. Did you adopt him from Peter Gabriel?

[EmperorJay]

I do think that Merepatra's dress makes her hips look a little bigger than they really are though ;) . I like the figures and I'm glad to see that they texts are just as funny as we could expect after C3, Pharaoh and Zeus.

[Caesar Alan]

*resigns himself to the fact that his forum name is unlikely to ever make it into any game*

That'll teach me to be unimaginative, won't it? :D

I'm intrigued by this little chap, though. Did you adopt him from Peter Gabriel?No, "Shok the Monkey" was a completely original stroke of inspiration, and I have never heard of this "Peter Gabriel" of whom you speak. ;)

[Caesar Alan]

I get the feeling this chap should also be on your list, Jay...

Krisatoni the beggar, or should that be 'Chris and Tony'?? :)

Reminds me of Jon the Pain the native in C3.

Nice :D

[Nefermenu]

Yes, you are probably right. Just take a look at what "Krisatoni" is saying! I like that kind of humour... :D

And Merepatra looks very sexy ;)

[GillB]

I'm with Caesar Alan ... I suppose we're too uncomplicated ;)

[PCDania]

*resigns himself to the fact that his forum name is unlikely to ever make it into any game*

Same here CA, same here. At least the pleasure at playing the citybuilder games doesn't suffer under it :)

Tiy weaver's child:
"Reeds are free" mother says. "What are you complaining about?" she asks. Maybe she should get her own rushes for a change!

Here's a new picture.

[Elvenwarrior2001]

So THAT'S where the old Eight Faith's Inn Mod came up with his name! ;) Or not...lol.

And yeah...I think my name won't cut it either. :( too bad.

Elven

[Ammurit]

Imagine my surprise when I first opened the CotN website and was greeted by an image of Ammurit the Entertainer. I nearly fell off my chair! In spite of its being perfectly at home in an Egyptian setting, "Ammurit" is actually Romanian. (Eu) am murit means "I have died".

[Celebithil Dae]

Ack! Lets hope you havnt dies, itds make a little hard to type wouldnt it?

I dont5 think my name would really fit now would it? *shrug* oh well

[Ammurit]

With a little spelling alteration your name could be made to fit. Or if ever a city-building game is based on the Welsh, or features them in some way, you're in! :)

[mouse]

Ahhhh I too don't think I'll ever end up as a character in a game :) Sure good to have these forums up and to see all these old friends :D

[Pecunia]

The only way they can put me as a character in a game is as female Roman tax collector, and I don't think that's ever gonna happen ;)

[Merepatra]

The only way they can put me as a character in a game is as female Roman tax collector, and I don't think that's ever gonna happen ;)
You never know Pecunia, maybe the next game will be Roman :)

And Merepatra looks very sexy
Thanks, but I don't think my hips sway quite that much in RL :p

[Elvenwarrior2001]

I think it's really kewl that Ammurit got his name into a game. Very nice of the TM people. :)

CD: I think you're would work...it could work in a fantasy game. ;) An elf...an elvish thief perhaps, like the names say, and is meant for. ;)

Hmm...this sn wouldn't work for me. lol. I'd have to have a nicename in there. ;)

Elven

[Pecunia]

You never know Pecunia, maybe the next game will be Roman :)
Maybe.. but then there's still the problem that all tax collectors most likely will be male :p

If someone remembers my Jahakemhotep alterego, I might get lucky. :cool:
Afterall, Yang Ya Bo made it into Emperor...

[Granite Q]

Well I'm pretty sure GillB is in Emperor, it was her in-game name that inspired mine.

Casear Alan, you have to be a bit flexible in how you could be portrayed, for example ;) :

Granite Q --> GQ --> http://www.herb.freeserve.co.uk/jeiku3.jpg

Now all you have to do is work on CA in Egyptian mode :)
oooops, so do I :o

[Nefermenu]

Thanks, but I don't think my hips sway quite that much in RL :p

That may be, we've never met, but I'm sure you're at least as beautiful as your character ;)

Sure feels good to see so many familiar names here. As a matter of fact, I was sure at least half of our Heavengames society would come here. Great!

[EmperorJay]

I think most visitors go back even further. I only started to visit HG after the Imps boards were closed down, most people here I know from there.

[Nebhotep]

Well, I chose this name for a reason... because it's the name I've always used playing Pharaoh ;)

Darth.

[Jaguar]

I know we were throwing around a lot of games during the Emperor beta, GQ, but Ja Gwa just never seemed to cut it :p :D

Any suggestions an Egyptian version? I suppose something with Ren would be easier than with Jaguar... I'll have to do some searching and suggest the name to Ken :)

*edit* How about Rennofret :p */edit*

[Ammurit]

Perhaps "CA" could be altered to "KA" which, if I'm not mistaken, is Egyptian for "soul" or "spirit". It could be the name of a priest or temple attendant or something.

[Ammurit]

For those of you who aren't psychic, my previous post was in response to this one:

I go back...oh, about 5 years. I started at the Lords of Magic forum at the Imps forums 5 years ago. I stopped in at the C3 forum once or twice, and the Civil War Generals. So far there are 5 of us from the Lords of Magic board here. :)

Elven

[Stringbags]

With a name like mine I'll never get an ingame character :(

[Ineti]

With a name like mine I'll never get an ingame character :(

Not necessarily. Just translate it into ancient Egyptian, and you're set. :)

[vovan]

I guess they keep on adding those figures to the site:

http://www.immortalcities.com/cotn/images/anim-F_Car_Head.gif
Isetemkheb, laborer's wife

There's also a couple others, but their names don't seem familiar to me. :)

[Miut]

Mouse - this site might interest you. It has the name mouse in Egyptian, I quote, - "Pnnw" - The egyptian word for Mouse appears in spell 31b. So, Cindermouse, you, too, can ... have your own forum name in Egyptian! :) Gawds knows how you pronounce it, though! Sounds pneumatic - Pnew?

The site is called Travels With Mousey - about a guy visiting Egypt with his plushy toy mouse - don't knock it before you look at it, it is actually very good. ;)

[Eddy]

You know, if a character named Eddy-Ra were to be in the game, I wouldn't be offended. Well, as long as I weren't a bum or enemy soldier or something.

[mouse]

Miut that mousey travel log is really cool :D Thanks for finding the Egyptian name for mouse :)

[Bradius]

Very interesting site Muit. I will not try to guess how you found it, but from looking at the counter, it does seem like there have been more than a few visitors. It does have some very useful information. Given such information though, I am content to just do a virtual tour :D

This is definitely a shrine site for Mouse though :)

[Miut]

When I research a topic, I usually trawl through some 30 to 40 pages making sure what I have kept as open tabs in Netscape is a reliable learned site and not a personal view of Egypt or Crete or whatever, unless that personal view has some cool pix or Links.

So that's how I found Travels With Mouse - and as the Links were good, I Bookmarked it. :)

Glad to help out, ;)
