Brainiacus Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 ascidian \As*cid"i*an\, n. [Gr. ? bladder, pouch.] (Zo["o]l.) One of the Ascidioidea, or in a more general sense, one of the Tunicata. Also as an adj. ascidian n : minute sedentary marine invertebrate having a saclike body with siphons through which water enters and leaves ========== Now, that is Ascidian for you. It already exists and would not really add to anything if you described those big creatures in the sim as minute sedentary beings. Ascadian, whether it's a typo continued from the start of the sim or some random figment of the original creator's imagination -- does sound a whole lot better and is a currently non-existant word. Therefore, Ascadian should be how they are called, regardless of what X-Com Alliance may state. The sim is already quite different from Alliance anyway -- so why stick to that fact if the rest doesn't matter anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew_175 Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 Oh come on people, there is only one way to spell Ascadian/Ascidian Its spelt G.I.T Simple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Terrorist Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 Well, in the UFOpedia, under the section Aliens, you will find that it is spelt 'Ascidian' The Alien report was written by myself so I believe that to be the official way of spelling it (Unlike the Muton report which I do not consider official as it wasn't written by myself) Admittedly I started off writing it as Ascadian, but once you're told to change it too 'Ascidian' by the upper eschelons then you decide that this is the way. Ascidian - The intelligent way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonHawk Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 lol. Muton already is something as well, why don't we change that? I call a vote - we change the name "Muton" to "Shirley". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strong Bob Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 Why not Shirley? We'll be safe from any copyright laws, won't we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Terrorist Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 Isn't Shirley sexist, in a positive discriminatory way, after all, though they are sexless (well have had the bits removed) they might want to be called 'Bob' I instead think 'Sam' would be more suitable as you can be both male or female (or neighter) and be called Sam.

Loonie Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 Allright all ye that dare question the officiality of a Lieutenant over a Sergeant will cease so right now! :hmmm: Besides.....I vote to rename Derrick Ko into "reflected swampgas" and Ned Yorke to "brick of yello" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strong Bob Posted August 15, 2003 Report Share Posted August 15, 2003 ::Looks at the votes:: Oh great... There's a tie. :hmmm: Well why don't we try calling them Ascaidians? (Pronounced Asc 'eye' dians) Y'know, by merging the words? :yingyang: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouse Nightshirt Posted August 15, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2003 Loonie, I believe it is a block of jello, not yello And Skonar on't be happy you stole his line Ascaidians? Naaaah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loonie Posted August 15, 2003 Report Share Posted August 15, 2003 I just remembered his line from someplace. Anyway I'm not sure he did come up with it but that it was someone else and he then responded "See, pez" Anyway........a tie! I guess that means we call them what we will and that the point is actually quite moot. We know what the word means anyway. Wether it is spelled with an "i" or with an "a". :dontgetit: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouse Nightshirt Posted August 16, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2003 Ah but you see, about half of the votes for Ascadian came from non-xcas members Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loonie Posted August 16, 2003 Report Share Posted August 16, 2003 Don't be a wuss Mouse. Besides. I think we all agree and it's mentioned that way in the UFOpaedia once too. Ascadian/Ascidian. Whatever's your poison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
