Aneira's a background character in an RPG, I discovered.

There's your problem right there.

What appears as an exception to you would cause everyone else to cry favouritism.


Anyone with the incoherence of mind to ever figure that I've been favored should be dragged out onto their lawn and shotgun't. 'My' problem. Haha? Compounding things is what makes naming dwarves and gnomes so much fun. Sigh.

It's not so much having any kind of coherence - rather it's not having the patience or care factor to keep track of who is "in" or "out" of favor at any given point in time. Rules apply to everyone, regardless - so the mere presence of an exception would imply the rules don't apply to everyone.

The combination of two normal words is an explicit violation given the creation question sequence. There's no gray area of discretion involved given a character named "Knobsprocket" answered "No" to that question during creation.

There have been some classic examples of names that have "gotten through" in the past, but the vast majority were either prior to current policies, a margin call of being somewhat unoriginal but perhaps being unintentionally so, or simply becoming so involved in the game that by the time they are brought to our attention to rename them would adversely impact upon the roleplay of the game.

My suggestion is: report names via email to at least three immortals (probably not Dulrik - it's not really an chore that he needs to bother with). Prayers aren't logged in a way that immortals can see them after the fact - they're seen in real time and only if an immortal is online and isn't inside an editor.

I am fine with common names like Larry or Ben. I am even fine with real life people who are obscure, like Agamemnon, Septimius , or even Tertullian.

What bothers me is using common fantasy names like Bree, Raistlin, Drizzt, etc. That just causes my mind to think of that famous character, instead of their own "custom" character they have created. It ruins the RP setting we are creating here in SK.

You want to know the real reason she's named Bree? Because I've been eating a lot of quesadillas lately and it seemed fitting...brie...bree. Also, the Covergirl line goes something like "breezy, beautiful" - Haha.

I have no idea what common fantasy story that's from.
