* zOMG. Just, how are you supposed to talk about that to your friends and make it sound normal? Where the hell did they get a name like that? If it's supposed to sound cool, it doesn't.
** I've heard "ZOMG" being used as an intensified "OMG" by a friend, so... that must be it. Also, I don't think it's supposed to sound normal. At all.
** We're supposed to make zOMG! sound normal when we talk about it?
** The name "zOMG!" came from some contest within Gaia to name the MMO. I saw some outright better names for the game, who knows how zOMG stuck its head out to actually win?
*** It works (only slightly, though) if you know that 'OMG' was actually the name of a Monthly Collectible from 2003. Sort of a [[Call Back]], however tenuous it is.
*** It also works as a [[Call Back]] to the [[Zombie Apocalypse]] events we've had, since one interpretation of zOMG is "zombies, OH MY GOD"
* If Sentinel was friends with a {{spoiler|pillbug or millipede deity}}, then why was she so opposed to the Overseer on the worm issue, that ended up getting her sealed away for a thousand years? (And yes, I know the moral of that story was "the worm didn't need to be changed", but still...)
** Wasn't the argument that they couldn't decide what modifications to give the worm, with the Overseer favoring defense and the Sentinel favoring offense? We see that {{spoiler|the insect deity}} apparently had some sort of powerful attacks, given the huge {{spoiler|stack of dead vampires}}. Why wouldn't she like it?
