MP game - "Pantheons" Started

[Sheap]

Heh, I read all the threads, even for games I'm not playing in. Since I'm involved in this one I have to read it.

I don't know how Team A is planning to choose their nations, but to Team B:
Please Email (or PM) me a list of all 7 nations in order of preference, your expirience with them so far included, I will then hand out the nations to who I see fit. (Being that Im the leader and all =P)
Also, a suggestion for a Pantheon Name would be nice in that Email/PM.

Arcosnuffle

Btw, Sheap, what is the joke behind this?

[Sheap]

It's just really hard to spell Arco the right way. A while ago there was a thread on how it ought to be spelled and I picked "Arcosnuffleupagus" which is, in fact, almost as bad as the original

So I shortened it.

Not that exciting, but you asked

I used to have trouble with this before studying the word to make sure I was pronouncing it correctly:

The syllables are:
1. Ar - pronounced 'R'
2. cos - pronounced just as spelled, like cost but without the 't'
3. ce - pronounced as 'uh'? maybe, not sure on this one
4. phale - pronounced 'fail', the odd English rule where ph is pronounced as an f

Although, I had to go look the spelling up before posting this to make sure I got it right...

Oh well, it made a good story anyway.

ar-COS-ca-feil
Is how you say you pronounce it, only in a more obvious way =P
BTW, if you team B pretenders have an idea for a strat, put it in the Email/PM as well. (I already got PMed one =P)

[Pickles]

Hmm R'cosuhfail

I always say Arco sef ally or arco sef alley (hmm some always)

It means Highhead or similiar dunno if that is a reference to something

There was a thread a while back that traced Arcoscephale to its Greek origins. And I think it was agreed it should be pronounced

Arkos-ke-falley

(ok, hard to explain in written form...)


edit:

Actually I think it's 'Arcoscephale', but who's to argue about a single 'c' . I remember it because 'cephale' is the greek word for 'head', so 'Arco's head' is Arcoscephale.

I usually pronounce it Ar-kohs-kef-ah-ley

and

"Cephale" is indeed Greek for "Head": In Greek, the "c" sound is pronounced as a "k". The "s" sound for a "ce" is a more recent product.

As Arco is intended to be, well, Greek, it seems reasonable that it should be pronounced in a Greek manner.

I just pronounce it ar-kos-ka-feil, because kos kafe is a cup of coffe in hebrew (kafe = coffe, kos - cup/glass)
Back to subject - Where are all my PMs/Emails? =P
