Half-giants or Lesser Giants

I find it quite interesting that this post has changed from calling half-giants lesser giants to  lets shorten the name. If you look at the proposed change it would actually lengthen the name. *shrugs* I know I'm just pointing out the obvious here.

Bigs is used constantly at least it has for over the past year that I've been back playing regularly, it wasn't always that way but lately its become quite consistent.

That seems to be what they call themselves, but they're not meant to set examples. (I probably shouldn't stat opinion as fact.)

I first heard  Bigs (and Littles) a few years ago when Zune used it, though I don't know if it originated with him.  I'm happy to see it's becoming more widespread.

How about giants vs. great giants?

Lesser giant sounds clumsy to say, less so than half-giant. I just use giant, IC and OOC. They are big freakin' human shaped people.

I mentioned the word 'Big' in my post just to get to see this meme again. Bwahahahaha my plan is almost complete

To clarify, if it was missed in my original post, I think half-giants SHOULD be known as 'giants' to 99% of the population, IC. To 9.9 out of 10 people who have never seen a 'true giant' a halfgiant would simply be a giant.

I do think however that the very educated (read, literate, and ones who care enough about the subject to study it) and maybe those who have had the honor (horror?) to see a true giant would refer to them as lesser giants in manuscripts or whatnot, for the sake of posterity. Of course, none of this means much since the people have spoken and most seem to think it's fine the way it is.

Come play with me Narf!

In Australia we call half-giants shaz-wuzzas.

Lumps to go with stumps.

That's funny.

When halflings are put back in the game so I can have funny little sidekicks, we are going to call them tinys.

(Google tells me "tinies" is the correct plural form of Tiny when used as a noun. I prefer tinys. I just think it looks better.)
