Name Change is in Order

[Aruden]

As a Jew who is proud of my heritage, I find the name incredibly offensive and I'm surprised that GMs have tolerated it until now.

You guys are hard-working, dedicated, and try to run your server justly. Do you really want to be remembered as the people who tolerated this kind of racism on your server?

To which name are you referring? Project, 1999, or Red?

[Aruden]

Holocaust

[nilbog]

The word holocaust means:

a great or complete devastation or destruction, especially by fire.

If it was <The Holocaust>, I'd be more inclined to agree.

Why do you think their name refers to Jews?

Nilbog posed a preliminary objection that I thoroughly challenged. I've yet to hear back from him.

Hey Nilbog,

Thanks for responding so quickly.

According to dictionary.com, The word "co*n" means "a rustic or undignified person" and "fag*ot" means "a bundle of sticks."

If we follow your logic, people can create a guild named "Co*n Killers" or "Fag*ot Burners."

Most people associate the words "co*n" and "fag*ot" with prejudice. Most people associate "holocaust" with "The Holocaust." Anyone making claims to the contrary probably has a vested interest in that disassociation, i.e. is a member of said guild. Moreover, a cursory review of this thread will make it clear that the members of said guild are evidently racist and using the word with a racist meaning, even if a few them make claims to the contrary.

Sounds like a personal problem, you should fix that.
