Tad Williams' Message Board

Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies -- 'God damn it, you've got to be kind.'
-    Kurt Vonnegut, 1922-2007

Welcome to the message board for tadwilliams.com. All comments are welcome, whether kudos or brickbats. However, please bear in mind that Tad would like this to be a friendly, civil message board, at least in the relations between users. We reserve the right to remove postings, or even ban postings, from anyone who crosses the boundary of reasonable taste. Basically, you can argue vigorously with someone, but watch your language, okay? We have a lot of young readers as well as grown-ups, so please show them some respect.

But the main requirement here is: have fun.

Time for another pointless alphabet game! :)

Well, the Otherland Alphabet game was a success, so no I'm gonna try to start one.  Here is (drumroll) the Memory Sorrow and Thorn alphabet game!

Yes I am bored... very bored

Re: Time for another pointless alphabet game! :)

Aaah, come on! Isn't that too easy? All the names (at least all those belonging to significant people) are in the appendices of the books...  - Or are you not allowed to check the books?
I'm sorry if this spoils you game...
I'm not gonna participate here due to lack of challenge... ;o)

Your nocturnal perseverance has earned you a secret gaming tip: go to bed!

Re: Time for another pointless alphabet game! :)

Speaking of spoiling your game, I should probably point out that we've done this once already.

What?  Once more?  Very well, then:

Re: Time for another pointless alphabet game! :)

R is for Ranessin, the lector, and it's a shame how long it took me to remember a name with R! A reread is definitely overdue! (Years ago, when I was bored, I kept myself busy with listing MST names for every letter of the alphabet.)

I think we've just proven that our greatest power is silliness!

I couldn't come up with any R-names either, which is why I waited for S: Sisquinanamook!

Re: Time for another pointless alphabet game! :)

U is for Utuk'ku  (thanks to Firsfron, who just mentioned her in another thread, because I'd totally forgotten about her. Shame on me! The only one I could think of was Ulca, one of the girls on Sesuad'ra)

Re: Time for another pointless alphabet game! :)

So I wasn't the only one who couldn't think of anyone but Welma. Isn't it Xannasavin, though?

Y is for Yis-fidri and Yis-hadra, the dwarrows.

'Z' is for Zinjadu, lore-mistress of Kementari.

And it only took us twelve years to finish it! :)


(I don't remember if 'Xannasavin' has one or two 'N's).

Re: Time for another pointless alphabet game! :)

So there is one infinitisimal tiny shread of information you forgot, Firsfron. Makes you even more adorable! It's the little flaws, you know, that make blokes attractive ...

*giggles* 

I read some of the MST threads yesterday when I looked for my post on Old Night ... they're really witty and funny. In hindsight even more than back in the day.
BTW truffle pig of Ronchester: I did what you probably also did the day before - putting Old Night in the search function on the boards ... and then I noticed that indeed I was the truffle, how could I forget that??? What happens to my brains? I'm only 42!
