FigN01 September 24, 2012 Share September 24, 2012 Host does have the parasitic connotation in some respect, but I think about it along the lines of being a host for a guest. That meaning gives the idea of both of you being equals, and the host in particular being very welcoming. Every other terms is bogged down by what feels like a bunch of lofty or magical garbage.

Koji September 25, 2012 Share September 25, 2012 I would like tuplamancer, but for me it will always have negative or violent connotations, i.e. Necromancer, pyromancer etc. So I just go with creator, Catelyn seems to agree. http://tulpa.info/forums/Thread-Koji-and-Catelyn-Of-Deserts-and-Snowmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty September 25, 2012 Share September 25, 2012 I use creator but I'm not a fan of it. I use tulpamancer occasionally, but that's just for giggles.

Charles September 26, 2012 Share September 26, 2012 I favor host out of the options provided, but co-host is probably more accurate once you reach a certain point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiahdaj September 27, 2012 Share September 27, 2012 Creator and owner sound a bit demeaning. Owner implies they belong to you, and creator makes it seem as if you are superior. Tulpamancer sounds kinda cool, but I personally vote for host. "If this can be avoided, it should. If it can't, then it would be better if it could be. If it happened and you're thinking back to it, try and think back further. Try not to avoid it with your mind. If any of this is possible, it may be helpful. If not, it won't be."

intelhunter September 27, 2012 Share September 27, 2012 "sjefen" ~hisbro (sjefen means "The Boss" in Norwegian) But tulpamancer is the best. Ayo grill how you be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weird0 September 27, 2012 Share September 27, 2012 Tulpamancer sounds too much like some kind of next-gen Pokemon trainer... They say great science is built on the shoulders of giants - not here. At Tulpa.info we do all our science from scratch; no hand holding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courier September 27, 2012 Share September 27, 2012 I'd say host, for the reasons above. Plus, it sounds pretty cool too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slushie September 27, 2012 Share September 27, 2012 I hate "tulpamancer" because it's silly and inaccurate. The "pyromancers" and such you hear about in RPGs are a bastardization of the concept. The suffix "-mancy" refers to divination, not magical manipulation. If we were really "tulpamancers", we'd be making tulpas for the purpose of using them to tell the future and that sort of thing. Host works just fine. There's no need to "sound cool". Astral project on my face, brother! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
