naming policy rules... what are they?

[oldhead]

Is there an official post?

I searched naming policy and didnt find much but a thread of people bitching about non RP names.

[oldhead]

Is this the only rule?

- Character renaming can and will occur if a player’s name is offensive. (GM Discretion)


What exactly is offensive?

I know a player named iheal that got renamed.

"I know it when I see it."

im assuming a GM said that....

Which GM is the resident name nazi then so I can ask them.

Supreme court judge actually, but hey what do they know.

Follow this guideline.

If, when rolling a toon, you ask yourself "I wonder if the GMs will make me change this name?", then you should probably think of a different name.

All it takes is a little common sense.

lol yea, if youre already second guessing your name its probably not a good idea to use it

its easy to joke and say that... but the names I pick are fine by most servers rules.

Some even fine by SoD's strict RP rules. Some would not pass SoD RP name rules.

So you can say "if you second guess the name you shouldnt pass it" it all depends on the rules.

There are two kinds of players.

1). The kind that pick a name consistent with the fantasy genre, or the random name generator.

2). The kind that pick a name to seek attention, by means of double entendres, witty palindromes/respellings, juvenile slogans or phrases, or just to be a douche.

If your choice falls in #2, as I strongly suspect it does, then just come up with another name, and save everyone some eye-rolling.
