wilts Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I am running a real world mod at the mo and plan to create a stable of 3 workers that are great together. My problem is the name. Due to the workers involved there is 1 very obvious name that could be used, but it is a bit on the inappropriate side of the line. I am struggling now because I know that I would not be using it in a negative way, I do not have the beliefs/whatever that the name would suggest and at the end of the day it doesn't affect anyone because I am the only person who will know about it, but I still can't help but feel that it may be innapropriate. What do you guys do in this situation? I would love to give an example, but with the internet being what it is, it isn't worth the risk. I am sure you will understand.

Self Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I use several questionable names in my games. If I find it suitable, or particularly funny, I use it. No biggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halo Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 It's your game and you can do whatever you want in the game. It doesn't matter if its racial, sexist or against PETA no one will know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilts Posted February 21, 2009 Author Share Posted February 21, 2009 Except, as he says, this is for a release mod. Sorry, maybe my fault for not being clear. This is just in my game on the Know Your Role mod. NOT for release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladamire Dracos Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 You could always give the group a more PC name, but give the workers the proper gimmick anyway. The Nation of Domination as a Black Panther-like racist group for example, or Savio Vega's group from the same period as Puerto Rican Gangsters, or The Illuminati up here in the pacific northwest which started as a pseudo-Neo-**** group. Look at it as a challenge to get close to that line as you can without stepping over and you can really have fun with it (unless your promotions gimmick is to be over the line, in which case break out Crazy Ivan or hire Viking, or both and make a tag team out of them, it's your game dude ).

crayon Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Wow self-policing dilemmas, that's definitely not I see every day on the internet (excluding pron discussion of course). In the case of booking a personal game, I personally think do whatever. But of course it's ultimately got to be your decision since you're the one who has to see and live with it, and we'll have absolutely no contact with it outside of this thread. I guess a more important question is why do you feel uneasy about using the name, if it is just for your own personal use, and would not be meant in a negative way?

Guest codey Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Ask yourself if it will work in the context of your promotion. Do you have a more family oriented product, or are you edgy and limit-pushing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
