Let's all flame Odineye
 
I need the fire for my popcorn.

Anarasha 06-29-2010 08:13 PM

Your name is cliché.

Odineye 06-29-2010 08:23 PM

Blank: Not even a pop there. Try harder.

Curious: How is my name cleche?

Anarasha 06-29-2010 08:48 PM

My comment was not meant offensive, merely a jest in relation to your thread.
As for why it actually is a little cliché. I will be using the original Nordic names here.
Well, Odin paid his eye to the head of Mimer in exchange for the wisdom of Mimer's well.
So he paid his eye to know everything, and his ravens act as his eyes and ears in the world.
So by sacrificing his eye, he became infinitely more powerful through the power of knowledge.
So reading your name, Odineye or Odin's Eye, I chuckled, but it is also a little cliché seeing as how it is little more original than just Odin.
Nevertheless, it is not a bad name. Glad to see someone with some knowledge of the Nordic myths.

I wasn't offended by it. That's why I told you to try harder. As for my name. Nice knowledge of my name. Can you name the Ravens?

Anarasha 06-29-2010 08:53 PM

I could once. Without googling it, I couldn't now, no.
I am Nordic however, so I know a lot of the myths by heart. I grew up with them.
Did you know in some renditions of the myth it is stated that Odin puts his eye IN the well in order to achieve the knowledge?

Odineye 06-29-2010 08:54 PM

Any that I haven't?

Anarasha 06-29-2010 08:55 PM

I wouldn't know really.
A fact not known by all of the people who claim to know of Nordic myths is that Hel, Midgard's Worm and The Fenris Wold are all Loke's(english name: Locke in some renditions, usually Loki) children.

Odineye 06-29-2010 08:56 PM

Sleippnir was too

Anarasha 06-29-2010 08:57 PM

Yes, I remember now.
That was his attempt to beat the creators of Mjölnir in his bet, right?

Anarasha 06-29-2010 09:00 PM

Anyway, off to bed I am. Goodnight mate. I will be glad to continue this exchange of words at a different moment.
As for now, I am making silly typing mistakes such as calling Hel Loke's son instead of his daughter(corrected already) and I can barely keep my eyes open.
Therefore, I bid you goodnight before I say some sort of insensible babble from which I will not be able to recover with any amount of clever remarks.

Odineye 06-29-2010 09:01 PM

Mjolnir was the builder right. I can't recall totally. Something about building a wall in so many days but loki seduced the workhorse is what I remember.

Well met

The raven's are named Huginn and Muginn.

I too am glad someone knows their Norse myths. :)

Oh, and on that note.. Ragnarok is coming, you're gonna burn!

Mjölnir or Mjölner in Nordic was the hammer.
