[X] (LIBRARY) Head Librarian
[X] (BRANCH NAME) World's Edge Branch of Intersectional Research

I am starting to have an actual opinion on the non-role votes, so here is my prefered branch name. If this vote continues to be open I might even pick a library name favourite at some point. Right now I am just really preferring how the word 'intersectional' fits.

Because I'm bored, I have compiled all the flight school meme posts in this thread and posted them all here for easy reference.

There have thus far been a total of 17 flight school meme posts in this thread, of which fully 7 were made by BoneyM themselves.

Not all flight school memes were threadmarked - or at least, these two weren't. There may be others around somewhere.

And the font doesn't matter but Ink free is decent.

Instructions unclear, used template as the font.

(This is actually a knockoff of @MooseHowl's version over here, but I saw the template and couldn't resist.)

KNIGHT - Karag Nar Institute of Generative Holistic Thaumaturgy

You could just discard the obsession with perfect spelling. I.E.:

Karak Nar Institute of Thaumaturgical Esoterica, - KNITE

There's probably a better E-word but I'm not clever, so have at it.

See I was hoping that when we get a knightly order, we'd call them the Order of the Crooked Dice, but if someone can make a backronym out of wizards then I'll fully support that.

I don't really like "General Holistic" -- those two words feel very redundant to me -- but I'll approval vote it to get it off the ground, I guess.

That is almost certainly what we should call the results of any eventual Red Rider Appartition binding Dammerlichtreiter spell, right?

Soizic, it's a pity she never became a real character.

I honestly can't tell if you've gotten the SV and QQ forums mixed up or if this is supposed to be short for "quick question." :tongue:

Would putting "Thaumaturgical Studies" in the name get religious organizations to scowl at us? @BoneyM

the answer is yes, QM not needed in this case.

the cults hate people implying that arcane and divine powers can be connected.

Lol- the second. I'll be honest, I've had awful luck with questionable questing in terms of finding anything readable, so I gave up on it years ago. AO3 is where the more polished stuff is, anyways.

LadyLynn · May 5, 2021

I don't think I like the current KNIGHT vote: there's some words in there that feel blatantly like filler, and I think that referring to divine miracles as falling under "holistic thaumaturgy" would ruffle some feathers, and make it harder to get cooperation from priests and the like.

Anyway, talked myself back into WEBIR, but also into WEIRD.

[x] (LIBRARY NAME) The Library of Karak-Eight-Peaks / Kron-Azril-Ungol / The Archive of the Silvery Depths

EDIT:
Or, how about the simple approach:
[x] World's Edge Branch

1: There's an unspoken "er" at the end to make "WEBer".
2: So much punnage/wordplay possibility.
3: A three-letter acronym is less unwieldy than a five-letter acronym.
4: You can use it in actual spoken sentences better. "Hello, I'm here on behalf of the WEB" sounds a lot better than "I'm here on behalf of WEIRD/WEBER/WEBIR". The latter two are confusing, too, unless you paste "branch" at the end but then you wind up with stuff like "branch of intersectional research branch".

The biggest problem is that it doesn't really describe what the college does in the name. I'll try and find some more other words that could be used here, but maybe it's an acceptable sacrifice?

EDIT2: Or, really super simple super practical approach:
[X] Interdisciplinary Research Branch

No cleverness or tricks, just... a name that does what a name is supposed to do.

...Ya know, if you remove both of those words, you'd get KNITS or KNIT, depending on what version you're removing words from...

This is not going to add to the current leading WEBER option. Unless you want to add a new vote, in which case ignore me.

What's the purpose behind it? Literally go to Algard and Kurtis and tell them "I want to name the Branch after me. No, not The Mathilde Weber Institute. Just WEBER. Yes, all caps."?

How about "Generaly Holistic"

Karag Nar Institute of General Holistic Thaumaturgical Studies

This way, we add a descriptor to Holistic along with a loophole embedded into the name. Where the studies here, are generally holistic, but also may possibly have a chance of including a multispecies book club deditated to the sharing and study of romance books of the world, irregardless of specie and general moral allignment.

Pretty sure Slaanesh would ask for an invite though.
