ParanoidObsessive 02/24/18 1:23:09 AM #227:	Zeus posted... I want to take a second to acknowledge how much I love the phrasing, since when most people talk about wanting to roleplay with their gf, this isn't what they have in mind =p We actually met via RP, and used to RP a lot (and nudo used to make fun of me because I mentioned to him once that she was LARPing for a while, and he always found LARP to be silly and ridiculous), so we're both more inclined to think of it that way than the more mainstream alternative sexytimes version. Zeus posted... Arbitrator has a cool ring to it and lacks the messy common-use nature of terms like judge or magistrate where people associate them with existent roles within a society. This actually just reminded me of the "Arbiter" (though not the one from Halo, like 99.44% of people on this board would think when they hear that name, as much as the one from Chess, because I absolutely fucking love Chess and have for years - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OutDgLmx-SQ ). Which I'm kind of amazed I didn't think of before, because not only do I have my aforementioned love for the song, but because I literally had a character named The Arbiter in a previous RP game. You'd think it would spring to mind for me. Plus, with terms that end in "-er" or "or" there's always the option to feminize them, so something like Arbitrator or Arbiter becomes Arbitrix, Magistrate is Magistrix, Imperator is Imperatrix, and so on. That can give a bit of a more fantasy edge to terms, because we're not as used to hearing the Latin derivations in real life in modern times. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:896666618] in A Geektivu...
