So What Random Generator Did You Use, I Wonder?

Looking at your lists, it's obvious that a lot of what's there was generated by some program. Seriously, many of those names just are...lame, really. Not something a person would have just pulled out of their head. So what's the value of having tons of lists if so much of their content is so weak? Quantity is not quality. And God forbid you acknowledge anything that may have helped you.

Why don't you answer his question?

Could it be because you have in fact heard of it but don't want to admit to it since you ripped it off for the first book? Not a lot, but enough that at least a "thanks" would have been warranted.

But then people might suspect you don't deserve all the accolades they're giving you.

Douchebag.

Independent Development...or Insidious Conspiracy?

I just learned that one of the four new races that will be available in Guild Wars 2 is known as the "Sylvari".

A name that I've been using for years (since the early 90's) for the elves of Mythosa.

Did the GW team come up with that name all by themselves? Perhaps, but how likely is it that someone could independently take the word "sylvan", drop the "an", and tack on "ari" in a Tolkienesque fashion?

Virtually impossible.

Time to find a lawyer and rake in my millions!
