I liked the original ones: Metians or Gaians.
Others would merely say it was good humour.

Well your no fun.

No, we just happen to state how we feel.

Don't be butthurt. The names originally were fine.

The trouble now is how we get people to pronounce Gaians equally across the board.

The name sounds like one that won't be inclined to war and only peace, so when things go out of hand it is like a layer of depth added.

Gaia is pronounced "Gaya," so would it be pronounced "Gayans," or do we want a different pronounciation?
I find that if I don't have a signature, some people disregard the last couple of lines of a long post.

That's what I thought initially.  But it seems that Gay-a is the official pronounciation.

Your not pronouncing it right. You guys were all excited about it earlier. Are we still going with the phoenix idea? I think it really works. and here's one example. This is a turret or i could cut the bottom off and make it a gun tower.

Excited about what?  I was never excited about the possibility of using "Phosphorii" or "Phosphornii."

I wasn't exactly talking about you. What if we got rid of the double i ending and named them the Incendians.

Or XMen. That ...whatchyamacallit looks way too static to be a turret/unit in general. It would be a cool prop though. Rotate it back 90 degrees and it can be a cool park bench for the intro!

In all seriousness, Guy-ens or Gay-ens could cause some controversy. The best way to do it is let the VO guys have at it. If everyone pronounces it differently, then hey you've got a running gag. Eventually, though, settle on something. Have one character say it wrong the whole time, regardless how many times he is told. Personally, I would say Guy-ens just because. Little things like pronunciation are unimportant, especially since that is part of the fun being VO.
