Ghosthands Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Sorry if I've offended anyone, but I never meant to imply that Anyanka herself was an expy. Just her name. I was stretching the term. Naturally I understand the whole homage thing, and I have nothing against it.I merely found it humorous that someone so outspokenly anti-expy has done something which resembles expying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krayzikk Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 But it isn't expying if only a name is taken. Then, it is either an homage, a coincidence, or just plain borrowing a name. The term "expy" doesn't apply in any way is just a name is used.There is no universal definition of Expy. And when most people in the RPG forum think of Borrowing a name, the word expy usually comes to mind. Like how a lot of people say "google" instead of "search", the same is probably used for expies as a slang for borrowing someone/something/etc from another series.Actually, there is a universal definition of expy. I'd link it, but we aren't allowed to link the site.So how about you google it. And on that subject, the reason people say google is because it is the most popular search engine to use. Not because people substitute the two. On this eve, the thirtieth anniversary of that first colony, many are left to wonder; is the world fast approaching a breaking point?

Naming a guy, uh, "Eragon" for example doesn't mean he's an expy of Eragon. He just simply shares the name.

Names don't have anything to do with clone status.I would assume that 'Anyanka' was a name specifically created for the TV show? Wrath is a word in the English language, not an original name.But anyway, this discussion is pointless.

Since Pala-Koro doesn't seem to be going to bed anytime soon, I suppose you should just have one of the followers fling their gate-opnener over the wall in a secluded area while the village is occupied talking. Perhaps the little Aukati fight will make people not quite "get" that the new fighting noises are enemy forces arriving before a few blows have been exchanged.
