This is a web site for discussing roleplaying video games. Have enjoyable doing so, however there’s one main rule: don’t focus on political points that are not immediately and uniquely associated to the topic of the thread and about gaming. While this web site is devoted to free speech, the next won’t be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political dialogue, sockpuppeting (utilizing a number of and/or bogus accounts), disrupting matters with out contributing to them, and posting photographs that would get somebody fired within the office (an exterior hyperlink is OK, however clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you obtain a warning, please take it severely and both transfer on to a different matter or steer the dialogue again to its unique RPG-related theme.

No, it is not we by no means known as it ‘cosplay’ – it was the early Nineties and nobody was utilizing that obnoxious time period.

Oxford Dictionary:

cos·play
noun
the apply of dressing up as a personality from a film, guide, or online game.

Unless  you already know greater than the oxford dictionary folks,

The time period wasn’t in frequent use again then. Dictionaries describe utilization. They are usually not authoritative. We used to name it “dressing up as _______.” But now this cringeworthy Japanese-English phrase is the norm. “Cos” since you’re too lazy to say costume and “play” since you’re….?…. See? It’s a foolish phrase.

 By-the-way your put up has nothing to do with the opening query of this thread – names for an NPC scientist. A Human NPC (Not a Klingon)

Mocking my title or image is not the query or dialog.
