We'll break the fetters, we'll never give in - There'll be a time for retortion

[davidn]

Iron Savior's managed to improve my vocabulary quite a bit thanks to their dodgy translations.

Nothing much worthy of mention has happened today in real life yet, apart from me actually doing some revision and lunch being terrible. But at Andrew Melville Hall, that's not exactly news.

More importantly, despite him being about five years younger than me, danbodaxter showed me how to change the comment links in the journal after I couldn't wrap my head round it. Thanks for that. I went through several ideas before settling on the current ones.

1 soul saved | Don't you think I could save you?

- It's from The Angel and The Gambler, but I get the feeling that people would just think I was being holier-than-thou (again).

1 Watcher | Give your life for the Iron Savior dream

- Only about four people out of the massive fanbase who read this journal - well... maybe - would understand it. (They're lyrics from Watcher in the Sky. Now you know.)

1 Titan of Our Time | Be unified

- The plural wouldn't work, and the "comment" link is a bit daft.

1 Flibble | Talk to Henry the magic walrus

- Let's just never speak of this one again. I never said I liked the way my mind works.

1 Altered Beast | Rise from your Grave!

- I sort of like this one, but Altered Beast isn't exactly very popular and I can't think of a good first link.

1 set up us the bomb | What you say?

- I can't use this one because I just copied it off Anna.

1 watcher of illusion | Enter the castle of confusion

- Knightmare, of course. But the plural wouldn't work.

1 evil dream | Damn the machine

- I like this one. Even if you don't know the Gamma Ray song it makes sense, but might sound a bit "goth".

1 immortal Sinner | Follow me

- Yes, I'm reading through the No World Order booklet for inspiration. "Eagle" doesn't have any good possibilities for second links, though.

Think I'll just stick with the Damn The Machine one, it makes the most sense at the moment. And combine it with "Immortal Sinners" after the chatroom.

I think you can make the plural be almost anything you want.

For instance, for the Titan/Titans of Our Time, put:

%%messagecount%% Titan%%mc-plural-s%% of Our Time

Just play with it, see if you can make it work. All part of the fun!

I assume you've already perused this, but here it is anyway:

Thanks for that, I'll improve it when I'm not working. Now seems a good time, then.

Cute new image, as well.

Thanks! That one is from the Chesney show.

And this one is new too.. it's from the Isle of Skye.

I love making icons!

Great. I was looking through my LJ to avoid doing work and noticed this thread again - you've changed your icon since, and it now appears that I was talking about an agitated-looking monkey.
