Title: Amos
Post by: Grindstone on February 23, 2014, 01:48:55 PM
Has this changed or isn't Amos the most common Zalanthas name? Shouldn't everyone have a character named Amos once?

Amos should be okay at least once, sure.

We can't make Talias because of Talia withholding that name when she joined staff - Or has that changed?

Amos, the tall, muscular man has a special place in all our hearts.

Question: Where did this all start though with making Amos a popular name?

Is it not a ArmMUD related thing?

And here I was thinking it was from some off-hand comment a staffer made eight or so years ago about most common names for PCs.

I think it was one of those things that was very not darksun but somehow happened and became a thing that evolved with arm.

I heard it started when there were like 8 PCs running around with the same name many moons ago.  Likewise with "the tall muscular man" being a common newbie sdesc.

To my shame, I had the keyword 'tall' in one of my first characters. I eventually changed it when I wised up.
