You could rename one of the three moons of Hephaestus Europa or Crete and put TALOS there.
Or maybe some other planet of the solar system.
Or you could name them after tools of Hephaestus. Hammer, Sickle, Anvil, etc.

Athena is definitely associated with war, even now. Also wisdom, but definitely war. She's also associated with the forge, so naming the AI managing a forge world ATHENA makes a lot of sense to me. So that it was named ARES? Suggests to me that ATHENA is the name of something much scarier
(She also has issues with Hephaestus, but honestly *all* the greek gods have issues with all the other greek gods. Almost without exception.)

I said Athena is more often remembered as being a goddess of wisdom.
And of course they did. If I spent time with folks who did as nasty of stuff as your typical Greek deity, I would also have issues with them, however hypocritical that might be if I was one too.

I for one, do not want little Xanlings hopped up on magic space pills. Violently opposed to it in fact.

Looks like I've got a volunteer for human testing!
Seriously, unless I can get a clone bank or something it's random animals I can find, Xanlings, or other inmates.

I was thinking we could name a security AI for Hephaestus TALOS, by the way.

I support this idea in lack of a better name. Although Talos would probably be better suited for a Titan. Talos being a giant robot and all.
Then again, we could name our Titans after actual Titans. Cronus, Hyperion, Iapetus, Atlas...
EDIT: Oh, and Uranus. That's got pun written all over it.

Oo...ran...us...I don't see it.
Anyways, given the number of things we have named after gods of various sorts...that works well, actually.

Europa is already a big-name moon. And we wouldn't want to put a vital part of our security system light-seconds away from everything we want secure. (Plus, then we'd have to secure the moon, too.)


Seriously, is there a way to use plug.dj without something that identifies my RL name? I know some of you know mine already _{stupid Google} but I'd like to keep that stuff private.

[PyroDesu]

As far as I know, there's no way to access a person's real name through it.

And even if there were, that's what disposable google accounts are for.

Hephaestus is one of the only Greek gods not an enormous dick ever since he got chucked off of Olympus and crippled for life by his own mother for the crime of being fugly.

After several hours fucking around with stuff, I managed to get everything working for another ER movie day.  It's set to be this saturday. I'll have the list of movies that will be showing soon.

[Xantalos]

Saturday?
Ah well. Have a good movie day for me.

I'd love to, but I'm busy with velping setting up an event, and with exams coming around... Yeah. But maybe I'll drop by to say hi.

By the way, how's that ER lore thingy going? Erm, I mean, BUGGING BUGGING GET TO WORK!

[Kriellya]

Speaking of bugging, we're waiting on you over in TEN, Xan

75% done I'd say. Historical blurbs and then putting it into Twine. But putting it into twine is basically just copy pasting so that won't take long.

[smurfingtonthethird]

Movie day? Wazzat?

[SeriousConcentrate]

PW streams stuff; we watch. That simple.

Look, if you cannot post, just give hour character to someone else or something. You're really holding up everybody like this. I mean, for what was supposed to be a short game, we've been at this for a long tile already.
