Names in MWLL
« on: July 06, 2010, 03:03:11 AM »
I am proposing some slight 'Mech name changes, to make them "politically correct":
MadCat -> TimberWolf
Vulture -> MadDog
ShadowCat -> Sex Beast

That is all.

Shouldn't "Sex Beast" actually be called "Vat Beast"...?

Yes please, let the Stravags name our mechs as they want, us trueborns however should stick with their actual names though. Can't wait for the Warhawk and the Blood Asp or dare I say.... Stormcrow and Summoner?

You call yourself trueborn and yet claim that weaponry such as "Clan Streak MRMs" exists? You dishonour your Clan with this ignorance.

They had those at Mekteks and I thought I had read about this technology on Sarna as well, yes, my bad, but with the new weapon systems that appeared in the last years in all the different developments it's hard to keep track. Didn't know there was a thing like ELRMs before playing this either...

"politically correct"

Stopped reading there.

But yea, don't whine about your precious canner names while just about everything else holds canner or canner-like names (ranks, etc...).  Although a number of the canner names do sound better, as much as I hate to admit it.

You know I have to do this:

Fixed.


On topic:
I'd love to see mech names and player ranks beeing faction specific.
But we'd have a big problem with the ranks, because there are at least 8 ranking systems that could be used  for IS side.
Steiner, Marik, Kurita, Liao, Comstar, Rasalhague, FedCom and Davion.
Though I guess FedCom would be the obvious choice to use.
Maybe:
Private
Corporal
Sergeant
Sergeant Major
Leftenant
Hauptmann
Kommandant
Leftenant General
Field Marshal

No. No it shouldn't. The thing is destructive monster that I find extremely attractive, thus "Sex Beast".

Faction specific names would be confusing to new peoples. Just put the names as the faction they belong to calls them.
