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.

[HELLO HEI DID YOU MISS HIM]

I'll be going by Joseph, unless you'd think that would cause problems.

[dipolar]

(YES, TERRIBLY.)

Joseph is a suitable name for this time period.👍

Why make this such a focus before our arrival?

[dipolar]

We must be prepared. That means having names and stories prepared.
If we fumble this, it could be bad for the mission.

[gerechtigkeit]

🤔

I’m certain I’ll come up with a last name in time, but I find it surprising you’re offering to assist everyone who asks.

[dipolar]

Why is it surprising? I want this mission to be a success.

[gerechtigkeit]

[Tmw you wish your character was a sassy shit SIGHS LOUDLY]

As does everyone else. But no one offered to give names or backstories for France or Jerusalem, that I know of,

[dipolar]

That's the past. I'm here now and I've offered. Deal with that in your own way.

[gerechtigkeit]

I wasn’t arguing against it. It’s useful.

Do you plan to do this for every mission? Or until people begin to form their own names out of a habit?

[dipolar]

OK. I will refer you to the list after it's all written up.

The latter, but I'll take it upon myself to remind everyone if it becomes needed.

[gerechtigkeit]

I'll be sure to look at it.

And what's the name you'll be using?

[dipolar]

Jiaming Shou. It's Chinese.

[gerechtigkeit]

Shou is the first name, then. I see. I'll be certain to remember it. Have you come up with the backstory as well?

[dipolar]

Yes. Should we meet on the battlefield, I will introduce myself to you with my story at that time.

It is more organic, that way.

[gerechtigkeit]

I understand. And we more than likely will.

Until then, I'll be sure to think of my own. See you on the battlefield.
