I come bearing updates for the rogue umpire and namepire IRMs!
You can read the full text of the article here. Both IRMs mention Yusef Fenestrate and Gerund Pantheocide.
@Solar I’m pinging you here because this is the most relevant talk page thread - 50.307 and 36.952 (namepire and rogue umpire) are intended to have overlap. If these were the only two IRMs this page would likely be a summary IRM and not a file box. As is, these two rumors are supposed to be similar! If you could fix the revert that would be great. (edit bc ping didn’t work the first time)
Hiya! I am the original author of this IRM. It has been heavily edited from my original writing, including adding information that is not part of the IRM, removing information that was originally part of the IRM, copying text heavily from another IRM entirely, and changing most if not all of my original wording. Which is to say -- this particular Rogue Umpire IRM is in fact not supposed to overlap with Namepire as much as it currently does.
Because of this, I would like to propose that the current Rogue Umpire IRM be split into a new one, and the original text be restored to this page. If there is some rule I am unaware of about player pages being required to cover events through Season 24 or something else that the original text did not implement, I am willing to add additional information -- but the current edit is largely not in line with my original intent for the IRM.
Thanks in advance.
This all sounds fine to me - thanks for going through talkpage processes and explaining what’s up! There are no rules about pages being updated, really just rules about providing advance notice about intent to make major edits, and I feel like we’re on the same page (figuratively) now so we’re all good!
No problem! Sorry about not getting in contact with you via Talk page sooner -- I wasn't able to find the right Talk page mentioning the edits at first (I may have checked pretty much every one except the correct one).
Assuming the edit is your original work, would you be willing to make that separate page and I'll revert the edit (and possibly add some new stuff, this reminded me there is some later-season info on this Coolname I forgot to update this page with) on 36.952 once you've gotten everything moved over that you need to?
That works for me! Normally the rule is waiting 24 hours before edits but TBH I can’t imagine anyone minding much these days if we just go ahead and do it, lol. I’ll move 36.952 to something new right now!
aaaaand edited! Thanks again for explaining the misunderstanding, I do appreciate it :) happy IRM-ing!
New IRM! Coolname Galvanic was an ILB player resources rep who helped recruit incin replacements, and then stopped after meeting Yusef. This is a little different take (the biggest one is he/him pronouns and some visual differences but those aren't really in play here) but still fits the general arc for Coolname.
The article is written in Japanese, with an English translation. The game plan is to have the Japanese version as the body and the English version in the source. You can read the article in both languages here.
Coolname is mentioned in an update for Mags: "Banananana became quick friends with Coolname Galvanic, whose friendship with Banananana was considered inscrutable and opaque by many. Banananana repeatedly referred to Galvanic as “a delight” and “one of my dearest friends.” Galvanic returned the favor by calling Banananana “great,” one of the highest compliments that it has ever given one of its teammates on the record.
Coolname is mentioned in the new lore for Steals Mondegreen. The paragraph is as follows:
"Mondegreen has remarked that they would not consider their relationship with Coolname Galvanic to be a traditional friendship, but the two of them appear to be friendly anyways. Both Mondegreen and Galvanic share an interest in gardening and have been seen spending time together. Mondegreen has also said that they can’t enter Galvanic’s dreams, for reasons unclear."
IRM entry for Coolname as an entity associated with Rogue Waves, the nAUtical equivalent of incinerations. Coolname would be an individual from a race of Arbiters who are witnessed at Rogue Wave events. Following its recruitment to the Adrift's crew, it served as an accountant, balancing the ships ledgers. For the pirate AU.
I propose to add an IRM bio for Coolname Galvanic, summarised as: affectedly "mysterious" figure with traits suggestive of albinism; is rumoured to be a former Umpire; is in fact a namepire, and feeds by making victims briefly forget what other people are called. The full text of this article has been shared on the Tokyo Lift Discord.
