Acceptable Names

How about Soggy Bottoms?

 

Or Sooty Pants.

Sloppy Drawers.

Rusty Codpiece.

 

+1 for Sunny Fruit... sounds friendly and nice to be with... ^_^

 

Fruity Pants seems more in line with the general trend here...although that has another connotation that OP might not like for his character.

 

I'm appalled that the moderators of this game can't handle "Stinky Britches." It's absolutely absurd to force a name change for that.

Just because some idiot might mistake 'Britches' for 'Bitches?' Get a grip, people.

Edit: Might as well moderate Lord British. I mean, British is almost kind of sort of a bad word!

 

Ridiculous. I vote for "Festive Pants" because pants are always hilarious.

“The best argument against pants is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.” -- Winston Churchill

 

"There are two ways to live: with pants or without. If you wear pants, you will always need another when they tear; while if you don't wear pants, you will be always satisfied with none." -- Epictetus

 

"Pants, they have caused a lot of problems in the world, but have not solved one yet." -- Maya Angelou

 

"Pants free or die." -- Official motto of the State of New Pantshire

 

Plunder Mipants.

 

Hopefully we are protected from all the nefarious names on the terrorist watch list:

 

Funny Brute?

 

Seriously ???
@Berek can you please delete that post asap.

 

Oh sure, blacksmiths can say whatever they like, but miners are nothing more than slaves to you people??

The nerve!

(hehe I can remove it if you'd like but you'll need to remove it from your quote too or what would be the point)

 

'could be'....'if you change'... Hmm.

Think that's reaching a bit, but still, best of luck working out what could possible be misread or changed by the context a reader (from various different countries, regions, language groups and cultures) might find 'offensive' or inappropriate'

Just don't end up in the silliness UO devolved into, where nobody could use smith in their names because they might be fooling people they were NPCs, or people could play an assassin or use grass tiles to decorate their homes but the 'naughty word' filter meant those terms were unuseable in character names.... as, at one point. was the letter combination 'ea' because someone might use it to impersonate company staff

 

Someone must have complained about it, that's the saddest thing, that someone takes offence over a silly name in a game...

 

Ah I think you're missing something in your equations here fellas.

That is, that SotA holds itself to a certain standard when it comes to the atmosphere of the game itself. It has since the beginning, and thus, names like Stinky Britches were never going to be allowed, the same way numbers or symbols in the name will also never be allowed.

The person who reported the name apparently understands this, so it doesn't necessarily mean that they were offended by the name at all.

How hard is it really to play the game with a name that fits in with the atmosphere anyways? A little maturity in the way we're naming our characters is the least we can do as players to show appreciation, to both the developers and other backers, for that this game even exists. I commend SotA staff for monitoring this out of respect for the backers as a whole, to ensure they enjoy their time here, and I don't see it as tyranny in any way.

 

You might be right if it wasn't for the fact that Berek stated in this thread that the name was changed because of one single letter - not because it didn't fit with the atmosphere.

That being said, I too wish people would get in the habit of using actual "name-sounding" names instead of names that are more like statements or descriptions.
