Concerning names - Skimming over name rules.

How is this going to be enforced?
We even have a GM that has a non-RP name, so...?
I just read that you can't have Dragon + something,
So I was looking over older names, and one caught my eye.
What is going to happen and I think you are safe, person I'm describing

GM with none RP name? which one are you refering to? Neonfire? :) *ggg* Yeah, I guess Bror isn't all that strict with his GM buddies

*ggg* hehe... was it me edrick?

Peace Keeper · Post by **Peace Keeper** » Mon Dec 24, 2001 1:31 am

ds, you're not a GM.... or are you just one in disguise? I think Latha also have a none RPish name for GM's

Yes, Bror, you're probably gonna nag me about my, but as I've mentioned. Name's on the RPG board of my story, and also I'm just a nutcase who go by title, not names

I am sure glad I read the popups before the game so I knew what to do...

Now I will not be caught up in this fuss

. Dragonsoul means that he was the "Dragon+something" name Erdrick was describing... I think it is a fine name, it may be a nickname that he has. A name like "John" or "Joe" would be a non-RPG name.

thx for the compliment chaos... actually i came up with the name myself... no nickname

Lord Chaos · Post by **Lord Chaos** » Mon Dec 24, 2001 5:55 am

Maybe a nickname of your Character... I personally like that name. I have been considering changing my name...

hmm... to most time somebody of the gm´s take notitfy of non rp names, is when this person also dont play rp... and if somebody want to rp... is is really hard to say : "greetings sir alkoholiker (for example = that means in enghlish "alcoholics") ... im sure in the future, there comes another system which make us search for better rpg names... and hey volks it isent really hard to find one...

greetings and nice holidays yours cosma
(hmm is this an real rp name...)

Sir Chaos

Neonfire has made a good story for his name hehe... be sure bout that.

Dyluck · Post by **Dyluck** » Mon Dec 24, 2001 10:32 pm

Lol...John is a good name.....there were tons of Johns in medieval England for sure

But probably sounds better if Sir or Lord or a last name was added to it.

Lord Chaos · Post by **Lord Chaos** » Mon Dec 24, 2001 10:57 pm

Hail, almighty Sir Joe! Sounds magnificent huh?

Sir John is better....

And Sir Chaos is not what i was hoping for. Something that still has the initials LC maybe...

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Tue Dec 25, 2001 2:24 am

"Sir" in the title was for nobles and such. And i guess that about 80% of all people weren't nobles...
Other thing with elves, dwarves and other races, they would have different structures too.

@Damien:
not exactly right... first you must be a knight then you can take the official "Sir" in front of your name .....

Torekin · Post by **Torekin** » Tue Dec 25, 2001 11:11 am

Sir John is a friend of me,name is already used!

Peregrin · Post by **Peregrin** » Tue Dec 25, 2001 11:16 am

Anyways Sir as well as Lord, Master etc. is not part of a name. You should at least start your Character with a NAME and perhaps in a quest you will be given the title of a Sir or whatever.

Sirius · Post by **Sirius** » Tue Dec 25, 2001 8:22 pm

right perigrin i have become me sir later after a long playing

Caranthir the great · Tue Dec 25, 2001 11:13 pm

BAH!!

so correct me if im wrong , but .. i AM king of the ironhammers.. (although we are few , but im still the king) , so it would be "ok" for me to use an word as "lord" or "Sir" or whatever?

if so...KNEEL YOU PUNY PEASANTS! MWA-HA-HA-HAHAA!
man i feel good.

@ peregrin : what if my cruel parents named me as lordmastersirnoblemanrulerking -caranthir? :biggrin:

Lord Chaos · Post by **Lord Chaos** » Wed Dec 26, 2001 2:28 am

It is okay to use titles such as "Lord" or "Sir" from the beginning, it builds character. What would my name sound like if it was simply "Chaos"???

dragonsoul · Post by **dragonsoul** » Wed Dec 26, 2001 5:12 am

#me what kind of character his name built...

was it good or bad? what do you think?

Lord Chaos · Post by **Lord Chaos** » Wed Dec 26, 2001 5:15 am

I like all of your names here! Caranthir and Erdrick and Dyluck, but why Catweazle?

Bror · Post by **Bror** » Fri Dec 28, 2001 7:18 pm

Lord or Sir is something that belongs in the "Title" field, not in the name field.
The fact that "Chaos" without "Lord" doesn't sound like a name should tell you ... that it is an invalid name.

Lord Chaos · Post by **Lord Chaos** » Fri Dec 28, 2001 8:27 pm

What does the Title box do currently? If you put a Sir or Lord in there, it doesn't show up, or do anything. And people can have names that are like objects or things, such as "smith" as a last name or "fog", at least in and around America. Like "Sir Hope" , hope may be his name, not referring to hope of something happening kind of thing. I bet that there are also some people with the last name of "Chaos" (although probably changed). The name is more of something that people refer to you as. Setheroth is "Seth", Lord Chaos is shortened to "LC". That is what people know me by in the town. If it was something like John, people would not call you Lord John, they would just say John. There is no way you could get everyone to call you one name when the actual is another. People who really know me well call me LC, which i prefer, but there is no way that I could get everyone to call me that. It is roleplay because your actual name is a mystery. Who would name their child "Dipstick" or "Crystal Star"? It is just a "nickname" or alias.
