Topic: Tag Implication: tali -> tali'zorah_nar_rayya

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

Do you mean alias? I know nothing about Mass Effect but it looks like that's what you were trying to submit.

Updated by anonymous

there are other characters named tali than the one from mass effect.

It does seem a difficult tag to remember, so I wonder if aliasing tali_(mass_effect) or something to it could be helpful.

Hell, she's one of my favorite characters in the series and I still can't remember that shit.

I think Tuvalu has the best idea here. tali_(mass_effect) avoids the ambiguities of tali while not having the problems with memorisation and spelling of the three possible full names.

I would prefer tali'zorah_(mass_effect) myself. Alias the variants of that such as tali-zorah or talizorah, andwe'll cover a big field while having a name that feels more proper.
(Although, maybe tali'zorah is already defined enough to not need the suffix?)

Seconded; pretty sure nowhere else will you find a Tali'zorah.

Also, the full name (with the _nar_xxxx) is a cultural suffix attached to Quarian adolescents (having not completed their pilgrimage) to identify their ship of birth, as a sign they have not yet attained 'adult' status.

The full name (with the _vas_xxxx) is used to identify the home ship of a Quarian adult. James T Kirk, Enterprise

Tali'zorah is only named as _nar_rayya in Mass Effect 1, with _vas_neema used as she is introduced in ME2, but supplanted by _vas_normandy as the storyline unfolds. I am pretty sure _vas_normandy is the only identifier used in ME3.

With (3) variations on her name utilized in the mass_effect games, I am pretty comfortable with an alias to simply tali'zorah for consistency.
