[fluff] Worst "fake names" in Fenspace - robkelk - 10-12-2007 I'm in a slightly goofy mood (which often happens when I'm short on sleep)... It's been established that many Fen took different names when they headed Up, if only to dodge the 'Daneside law. Some folks are going to pick ... let's be charitable and say "less than serious" names. Sure, they'll regret it later, but by then they're stuck with whatever names they chose. I mentioned one of these people in the writeup of Stellvia Corp. - Oliver Towne manages the ##WHITENOISE## Foundation. ("Oliver Towne?" "Yeah; I'm everywhere!" Which means he might be one of the Julian Friez... but probably not.) Julian Friez fits the theme, too, although that was his real name. (Going off on a tangent, by 2014, Stellvia is probably big enough to hire a Julian or two, but they wouldn't report directly to chief engineer Kohran. They have issues with female androids, you know...) Then there's the previously-unmentioned British female Warsie, Judi Knight. Are there any others? Well, yes, there must be... but can anyone come up with their names? -Rob Kelk "Read Or Die: not so much a title as a way of life." - Justin Palmer, 6 June 2007 -- Rob Kelk "Governments have no right to question the loyalty of those who oppose them.
