[Vizon]

I am amused that there is both a "black" and a "blue."

[Istvan]

I'm already rooting for Strathcomb on name alone, he seems exactly like the kind of beast we need in a story about brutal gladiatorial combat

[Matra Hammer]

"A strath is a large valley, typically a river valley that is wide and shallow (as opposed to a glen, which is typically narrower and deep). An anglicisation of the Gaelic word srath, it is one of many that have been absorbed into the English language."

Shallow River Comb reporting for arena brutality.

And I too demand more colors. Let's sneak a burgundy and a gun metal into the naming scheme...Burgundis Getal.

[Tooley Bostay]

Just going by the names, seems like we will have some nice diversity within the Top 30, which is a big Yes Please. After all, something tells me "Malukh" isn't your average, kindly Abbey mouse.

[Istvan]

So deadline is tonight midnight? I'm very excited to see what kind of weird and wacky group our finalists will surely be

[Airan]

I know you're busy judging but is there any way you could update the list of apps received with all the new names, Zevka? It's super fun to speculate results, and would give us something to do while we wait patiently for the results.

[foxpen]

Word.

[Frost]

I speculate the new names we'll see will be inversions of the cast of "Firefly," "Downton Abbey," and "The Walking Dead" (with some Praguish misspellings of "Monty Python" characters thrown in for good measure).

[Vizon]

Uh oh. People are starting to get desperate of we're starting to predict the names themselves, Zevka.

[Rascal]

I predict one will be named Martin the Warrior, a rat sword fighter in a horde. Constant teasing from his fellow horde members and even enemies about his name and likeness to the fabled mousy warrior has over the years driven Martin slowly insane, turning him into a brutal mercless fighting machine and crowd favorite of the arena.

:3

[Vin]

Rascal if that prediction turned out to be accurate I wouldn't even be mad. . .

[Xorvath]

I still think sand dolphins should be canon in this universe. Can you imagine a gladiator dolphin?

[Vizon]

Can you imagine a gladiator dolphin?

Sounds like practice fodder to me! What's it going to do - block a sword with its nose?

(Maybe if it had armor)

Flop to the left - flop to the right!

Obviously it would have armour. Spiked armour. Beware of the belly-flop maneuver.
