Thanks for the tips, gentlemen!

I didn't even think about the AI names but now that you mention it they do seem to be biblical for the most part.

World / What is canon now?

« on: April 02, 2013, 11:33:50 pm »

Seeing that there is an entire section devoted to establishing and discussing the fiction of the GoI world, I was wonderingif there was a site or if someone knew everything that has already been established as canon for this world.
And on a side note what are people's names like? I'm assuming similar if not parallel to the names of the 18th-19th Century.

Junker: Leviathan
"...it kind of looks like a whale..."
Leviathan

My junker and your junker are going to have a little talk.

The kind of talk that's amicable and ends with smiles and warm feelings... right?

Pyramidion: Loyalty
I've always liked the single-adjective names for ships.  So I picked the one adjective I admire most in others, and try to follow in myself.
It's also a reference to something else... That's all I'm going to say about that.

 

Yeah, you know

Welcome to the community AJ!  Now for a warm uncomfortablely long hug from aarge bearded man who hunts flying whales.   Yes...  That feels nice right?

Yes... though uncomfortable, I do feel slightly... comforted...

Squid: Spirit of Dyxy (Dixie)
My dog's name is Dixie, and seeing that the ship was fast and excellent at high-maneuverability harassment, it seemed fitting.

Goldfish: Little Wyvrn
The inspiration came from the old F-Zero X games, namely James McCloud's machine.  But being that a Wyvrn (Wyvern) is a mythical, winged dragon, it seemed to fit.

Galleon: Steadfast Allegiance
As I saw the Galleon isn't one for moving at all, hence Steadfast, and Allegiance referring to staying loyal to the task at hand (pwnin n00bz lawl).

Junker: Leviathan
"...it kind of looks like a whale..."
Leviathan

Spire: Derp of Days Yon
I dislike the Spire.  No offense to those who prefer it, but I don't like the layout, I don't like the way it handles, I don't like the way it looks.  Plus they just seem to go down as if they're made of tin foil.  I don't play with this airship.

Hey GoIO,  Commissar AJ reporting in (or AJ of course)

I got into GoI with a friend who bought the Steam special, and I knew I would like it just because steampunk and airships, but I was floored when I actually started playing!

Overall I gotta say I love the game, beginning to discover more of the community, and I'd like to get more involved with everything GoI!
