I say Lers.

But I am also widely known to pronounce everything wrong.
As of February 2017, I no longer play Armageddon.

Lerrrrrrrrz.

Huyuck yuck yuck.
A dark-shelled scrab pinches at you, but you dodge out of the way.
A dark-shelled scrab brandishes its bone-handled, obsidian scimitar.
A dark-shelled scrab holds its bloodied wicked-edged, bone scimitar.

And I vanish into the dark
And rise above my station

It's good to be back and see some new faces around the community, even if they are evil vegetables.

And it is loo-ir's.
Quote from: Return of the King (1980)
It's so easy not to try,
Let the world go drifting by--
If you never say, "Hello,"
You won't have to say, "Good Bye."

Lure's?

That's how I say it. One syllable.
Why? If it wasn't just one syllable, PCs would have shortened it to a one syllable word by now. :D

I have just always said the same way you say lure.

Like fishing lure.

I've always said it like Muir, which I believe is pronounced like "fewer" with an M.

Like "lure."  Lures.

This is only because it was how Z was pronouncing it.  I used to be on the "lee-oorz" train but I'm a convert.

Random thought, different name pronunciations can be really irritating when you're living with another Armer.

Oh, I always think of "lou-ears" when I think Luirs. I guess I don't enunciate. And yes, there's certain things and characters that I refuse to pronounce the way Val does.  8)
