Greetings.

It's my understanding that the name of the Great Dragon, Hestaby, comes from a Shasta soda ad-'Has ta be Shasta.' Or something to that effect.

Within the game, do you think that she chose the name for that reason? I realize that the game designer who came up with her probably came up with the name, in reference to the ad. BUT, if the SR world is anything like RL in regards to a common history, then she MAY have known of the ad, and liked the pu (or whatever you'd call it). Perhaps her Real Name, or one of her titles, is similar, and so she went with it.

She may also have a twisted sense of humor and like the idea of it. If she doesn't know about the ad tie-in, imagine being the one who discovers it and informs her. I can see it now:Shadowsnoop does a Matrix crawl to uncover more about Hestaby and her Mt. Shasta lair-her spelling's a bit sloppy (not enough soykaf) and she stumbles across a Food History site. the rest is history (along with Shadowsnoop-R.I.P.)

Any opinions?
