Well... Pandora, obviously.

Volo McFoundryton is my fave so far. :cool:

'Volo Smelt' has a certain ring (I'm sure most know but just in case anyone doesn't, a foundry is used to 'smelt' metal along with other processes.).

Ok, now I have a discussion that will divide and murder the community of foundry.
What race and colour of cat?

Don't forget to add "of Gilead" at the end of whatever you decide... I hope quite a few get the reference... (or maybe it should be... "Too bad we can't..." instead of "Don't forget to...")

On a side note... I don't know if a cat would represent the Foundry enough... They don't seem particularly... buildy... animals.

Shouldn't the Foundry Cat be called Foundling given it is becoming clear Cryptic have abandoned both the Foundry and the Foundry Community.

Another random name idea.... Yoyo. In that, much like the place he calls home, he's up and down like one.

Insomnia.
Coffee.
Caffeine.
Swampy.
Stinky.

I think we may have to extend the deadlines.

One of the admins of that channel kicked me out, because they did not like something I said about their quest. If the foundry authors are going to have a mascot I think it should be a llama, not a cat.

Not trying to drag up the drama, but why do people still use NW_Foundry now that there's the built in foundry chat? I don't have anything against the people or admins of NW_Foundry but the above is the exact reason not to. Channels for public use (in this case presumably ALL foundry users not just a small cadre of authors) should never have admins. If people don't like what someone else has to say there's always /ignore.


Also, if you're looking for a name for a cat which will be held up as a glorious example for the people, your choice is clear.

Personally, global zone foundry chat is annoyingly crowded. Also, if I were to help there, I would have to replace my skull with something metal, because it would otherwise crush of the amount of facepalms I would make.

I would vote for insomnia too. Once foundry made me literally not sleep through one night.

Hehehe, yes that has happened to me as well. I just keep getting silly ideas to create in the Foundry right before I sleep and then I think of them all night. Oh well, guess it's a training thing.

About the deadlines... I really believe we do need a deadline if this is going to work and tonight is as good as any.
Keep the names coming, many lovely suggestions so far!

The idea is to have a mascot that travels from foundry quest to foundry quest, regardless of author - which would no doubt freak out casual foundry players.

In that regard, I think a name like "Meowstrel" would work well - you could make it tell you tales... or just stand there, if that's what you want.

runis12

Loremeowster? Lore-meowster? I do like Meowstrel. And Questkin.

I would go for one of the following:

Benito Pussolini
Adolf Kitler
Nicolae Meowcescu
Meowammar Catafi
Saddam Pussein
Meow Zedong
Meowgusto Pinochet

That's a list of hard-hitting kittens for you!

Yeah, it's a nice list. And I noticed Mao "Meow" Zedong, but he loses something without the "Chairman". Also I needed an excuse to use that gif, heh.

And just because, how about:

.___M___.
( BATCAT )

He's not the cat mascot you DESERVE, but he's the cat mascot you NEED!

I'm in favor of Sharess, mainly because my dojo worships her. And Frinko is a student there. Get out of my mind Spec!!!!!!!!!!
I do like Volo though. And McFoundryton. LOL Nice one. Simply 'Author the Cat' was okay too.

I like simple. I like Author the Cat

I like savai kun the cat O.O

For now I think I'll go for 'Chairman Meow'... but if they don't get the foundry fixed soon I'm gonna have to go with 'Gobbler the Turkey' for the foundry mascot.

And there we go!
Time limit is up, now the compilation of names begin... I can see it'll be a lot of work.
May have to extend the voting endtime.

Thank you all for all the contributions!

groshie

I've now counted, and it seems there are 48 suggestions!
Yay!

The foundry mascot should be a male cat named 'Incubator'.

May the best name win!

Sticking with the Moorcock theme, I like Whiskers, who was the intelligent winged cat (he sometimes appeared without them) that crops up in many of the eternal champion books. He's in the background on Jhary's shoulder.

Either way, I like the idea of a name that isn't immersion breaking, some of the nominations are funny, but won't end up in my quests unless I am doing something whacky or satirical. Maybe we should just have a cat that always looks the same, but can be called anything?
