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.

Wtf, y'all talking about Armageddon out loud. Nerds.

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)

December 02, 2011, 01:51:47 PM #20
I usually got with "Lures" as well.

If I were saying it wrong I wouldn't be correcting you. Ergo...

All of you are wrong, unless you play it out in game:

Code Select
Beady eyes squinting up, the weathered, grizzled old-timer asks you, in elsewhere-accented sirihish:
     "I ain't likin' th' way you say my hometown's name, boy-o. You sorta sound like you from hereabouts,
      but I ain't buyin' it. What say we take it outside an' I teach you how to REALLY say Luir's?"

In which case, please do!

I like how that guy said it as lurz. That's what I tried to state when I meant 'loo-irs with one syllable'.

MY POSITION IS UNASSAILABLE.

Loo-wurs.

I guess I sort of say it like Lure.
A staff member sends you:
"Normally we don't see a <redacted> walk into a room full of <redacted> and start indiscriminately killing."

You send to staff:
"Welcome to Armageddon."
