Aren't they all characters from the same novel series or something? Isn't the name Morkin/Corleth/Luxor from the same series as well?

"Ashimar" is a region in there, but Natmus and Arminius are not related. While Arminius is a historical figure, the origins of "Natmus" are obscure and only some vague guesses have been made about it.

I have told the backstory to the name several times on the MMU forum:

While "Natmus" simply can mean "Nightmouse" in Danish, that's not really what my chosen name means.
When I had to request a username from Jean-Yves for beta-testing I just had to think of something. At the time I was working in the computer department of the Danish National Museum ( www.natmus.dk ), and as I didn't want a username that really meant anything at all, or was taken from any kind of book or movie, or had any historical relevance at all, in effect a complety blank name, "Natmus" seemed a good choice.

As there is no creature named "natmus" in Danish, it's not even a real species of mice. Even so, both me and other have sometimes joked on the mousy element in "Natmus", but "Natmus" is simply short for "Nationalmuseet"
I don't work there anymore anyways, but I have grown attached to that original blank name

(slightly modified from the original MMU post)

So that's it, once more. It's just something I chose when the beta-testing of MMU started. Nothing more. But since it's exclusivly mine, any meaning it has taken on, for good or bad, is my work alone.

Anymore comments Aesir ? Pertaining to Morkin, Corleth, Me and the rest of the family ? Any infighting starting to unfold or everything unified under Lemonion now ?

Lets see... updates...

There was recently a vote that passed, overwhelmingly I might add, for Digg to continue running at full capacity, but completely silently and "inactive." The thread on this topic is extensive but I can post it if people are interested.

As for more... pertinent information... I'll have to wait as there are a few admins on right now and I don't want to be too aggressive about changing my permissions while eyes are watching me.

Not a whole lot of talk about the Morkin group... just a lot of people upset at Clausewitz.. which always makes me chuckle.

[eproxy]

So they're still upset on his move to Morkin?

[ashimar]

A Freudian slip of the tongue would be to write: ruled by Clause and effect (Clausality...)

1. Clausewitz leaves DIGG.
2. DIGG goes to Merda!.

.: Clausewitz's fault.

Just my hypothesis, since none of them have ever been able to answer my simple "why the animosity?" question...

See... It is your fault ;D

Well friends, today will be the lasy day I get any Digg intel until I can re-establish some contacts.. they found the permissions error and corrected my access.

No more fun.

[digital]

Ahh it was a good run, don't suppose you got a copy of the database?

[inyati]

Aesir, you deserve a karma ribbon for your effort! Thanks!

[Aesir]

No, no copies of the db.. and the only way I could try would be blatently obvious and would inevitably look pretty bad if it was discovered...

No chance for the time being.

Oh well.. time to be social and rebuild contacts again
