I understand some of you are reluctant to change your names or use a different moniker when we make the drop in 1916's Gallipoli. If you're not from a standardized Earth, I suggest you reconsider. If you need assistance, I'll assign you one myself. You don't have to consider them names but codenames to be discarded after we return to BASE.

An example of this: Rider is now Kale. I told him I would notify you all of this alteration.

Think wisely about the impact small things could have on a timeline. They add up and any amount of skepticism brought about by our foolishness is too much. Thanks.

Dirt's just dirt. Think of a very average name. Like Kale Smith.

[fessus]

Idk Smith but maybe Kale Smith then if it's common? It's not really average where I'm from. Sky works though right?

[dipolar]

If the given name is odd, the family name should be painfully average. It will keep things in balance.

I haven't heard anyone with the family name Sky, but Dave is normal.

[fessus]

Okay that works then. What should I call you?

[dipolar]

Shou, it means longevity in my language.

[fessus]

Nice one maybe I'll learn a little some day. Shou's my first word.

[dipolar]

If we have time in the trenches, I will teach you more words.

[fessus]

One more word for a preview?

[dipolar]

Yú means fish. Its character is 鱼.

[fessus]

Yu.

Wait I know the character but I never said it as yu? what's the line for?

[dipolar]

You know the character?

It's an accent, for tone. Chinese is a very tonal language. I'll turn my auto-translator off when we're in person so you can hear it better.

[fessus]

Yeah that's how I'd write fish in one language anyway.

Okay sounds good. I don't really know what tonal language means but ig I'll find out.

[dipolar]

What would you write for something else? Give me an example.

It means saying things in various tones. It's challenging for new learners. You know how "what" and "what" look different? It's like that, but verbal. You see?

[fessus]

Oh yeah can we make a full list of everyone's names so we don't call each other the wrong ones?

[dipolar]

Makes sense. I'll post a list after everyone stops insulting each other.

[fessus]

Thanks (might wanna start it early bc they'll never stop)

[dipolar]

Perhaps you're right. I'm sighing aloud

[fessus]

Put it in emojis instead of saying "I'm sighing aloud", that's really weird.

🙄😩 see?

[dipolar]

🚷

[fessus]

That's no walking not no people.

[dipolar]

🚫🚻

[fessus]

That kinda looks like no fraternization but it works, I get what you mean.

[dipolar]

So long as you know. Take mine very literally.

[fessus]

I am I think that's the problem.

[dipolar]

Then I don't know how to help you with this. We should come up with a comprensive list of code.
