![]() The guy you were quoting was quoting me. I had posted, previously, that the firstname-surname meant "Harm" and "Joy". It's a moot point. A red herring. The name is either "offensive", in which case it should be changed, or is not offensive, in which case the guide needs to learn to use his power wisely.

![]() I've read like 12 pages of this ungodly thread and am no clearer on what the naming policy is supposed to be. I mean, the obvious ones like ihatemexicans or some shit, I get it. I even understand the no "phrases" thing, although personally I think it's kinda lame. Honestly, I'm not trying to be a dick and I don't need an ironclad guide of what constitutes an acceptable name so I can look for loopholes.
I just want to roll some characters that I am reasonably certain will not run afoul of the naming policy, and never cared much for the ones like Darkwarrior Thunderstalker or whatever else jumped right out of the latest fantasy novel or character name generator (no offense to those who do, just not my cup of tea). Can you not have a name that's an actual word? Is it just English words? What about names that are also names of other fictional characters? What about names that are also actually names of other things which happen to also be words? I have characters named Symmetry and Atomics, are they legal? What about Cyrius, who seems, in this thread at least, to be the main agent of enforcement? That is also an actual word, it's a subspecies of gobi fish (Neogobius cyrius - http://www.eol.org/pages/208083). -- Nothing personal Cyrius, you seem like a good guy. I have no complaints about Guide this or GM-that or favoritism or whatever it is that has most of your panties all up in a bunch, I'm just a newish player trying to figure out the common sense guidelines for not getting your dude's name deleted.

However, if they fully intend to create a policy that states "names cannot be words", more than half of the server is already, unknowingly, out of compliance. They will be in for a very rude awakening when the name-hammer swings with impunity. | |||
