what about the Hell?

[Idoru]

A few guilds that , as Nikodemus put it, have 'Wrong' guild names:

• The Dragon Council
• Guardians of the Phoenix
• Plakkem Hverrjanor
• Nightshade Mercenaries

[Parallo]

Is there a guild called Guardians of the Phoenix? Rings a vauge bell I think.

All jokes aside, there is nothing in game that can be related to Hell, as it is thought of in real life.  Therefore, a guild by the name Hells Dwarves is not within the setting of the game, therefore ooc, therefore not appropriate for use in game, therefore should be immediately changed.

This applies to all the aforementioned guilds.

[Nikodemus]

• Plakkem Hverrjanor
• Nightshade Mercenaries

Whats wrong with these? honetly.

As about dragon council, I wish them good luck in promoting their idea and redifining their story so that people won't be bugging them about dragons anymore. Like a simple name change or whatever, but this maybe isn't exactly a good idea to them. Anyway, i know they are tryng.

Hell's Dwarves...

Create a char called Hellios (or whatever you want!) as a character in Hell's Dwarves... and make out that Hell is an abbreviation of that... at least then you'll have new justification for the name.

• Nightshade Mercenaries

I may be mistaken but I dont recall seeing any mention of Nightshades in the settings:

Nightshade \Night"shade`\, n. [AS. nichtscadu.] (Bot.)
     A common name of many species of the genus Solanum, given
     esp. to the Solanum nigrum, or black nightshade, a low,
     branching weed with small white flowers and black berries
     reputed to be poisonous.
     [1913 Webster]

• Plakkem Hverrjanor

Again please correct me if I am wrong, but is that not a foreign language?

[Edit]

Sorry, thats not possible either:

Helios
       n : (Greek mythology) ancient god of the sun; drove his chariot
           across the sky each day; identified with Roman Sol

I don't think anyone will object if we move this to the guilds section, since it seems to be looking like thats what the topic is about.  (and for those that do, well )

[Idoru]

And does that now mean you cant moderate in Neko

[I believe this answers your question.  --Neko]

[Edit]

Then the Moderators names at the top of the forum should be changed. Unless of course you are expected to show restraint and not moderate this forum.

In addition please dont Edit my posts when a PM would suffice.

Renaming a guild because it's name has "Hell" in it, is wrong.

That's too strict, and will lead to the destruction of this game.

People can ignore the hell, and automatically assume it's the DR.

We arn't stupid, and we shouldn't be treated like robots.....

* Datruth sees the word hell, "OHHH DARN!!! I can't RP now... SHOOT, My roleplaying is all messed up"

If you don't like the name, don't join the guild, it doesn't hurt you.

Anyone who feels the name of the guild should change becaues it's a bit ooc, is being too extreme.

And we all know, we don't need extremeists populating yliakum, which will, as i said, lead to it's downfall.

So if I made a guild that totally went against the settings... meh, Doesn't matter. Just don't join it? Why don't we let everyone interpret the settings in their own way. Good idea? No.

I agree. For all those RP purists who dont like it: I suppose you never see it anyway because you presumably have labels turned off.

I dont think Datruth is saying anything goes is fine. I'm sure we would all be annoyed to see the '1337 Haxxors' guild running around. But some common sense should really be employed to see where something over steps the boundaries.

[Parallo]

But what he is saying is that the lines should be redrawn to include things that are slightly OOC because people that have read the settings know they're wrong?

I dont think that the setting specifically preclude any form of a hell.  They could just as easily say that the word 'Hell' in the dwarven native tounge means Death Realm.

To sum up. Hells Dwarves doesnt bother me although I would not have named my guild that way. I would also not join it. However '1337 Haxxors' would bother me. (Mainly because I cant stand leetspeak)

[Parallo]

So if it was Knights of the Sun rather than Knights of the Crystal but sun was just another word for crystal that'd be fine? You really think so?

[Narure]

isnt it called 'Azure sun' by the races that remember the above ground anyway?

IMO it would be fine.

And yup, I believe so.
