Hoheir "Ho-here" Daciner "A man from Dacia." No one ever gets my name puns in this server.

My character was a high wisdom archer, planned build was "Fighter/Order of the Bow Initiative." He wa from Vaasa, a mercenary, a gentleman, adventurer, a man who would think before acting. And you know what, I spent years coming up with the right wisdom based build, and the whole character background and all was designed to offer some avenue of role-play interaction no matter what your character was. For example, if you played a grey-orc character, since my character was from Vaasa he would have had an in character reason to let you speak before he fired his first arrow. He was something that the Sharran role-players could try to corrupt, if they had the skill rolls, because he did not have any ability to detect evil. (Not that such exists on server, but D&D background here.) You could hire him. And because the build was not the most optimal, I would have a reason to approach every single character I met. This character would also have Stunning Fist and Ki Step, which could provide neat interactions. But no, years of planning straight into trashcan. And the only conclusion at the end of it all is that there is no point to see any real effort to roleplay on this server, so I will just come up with a gimmick and the rest of the role-play is nothing more than improvisation. Oh, and my character was a man. A human.

Anyhow, got my character vault yeeted as the result of too. I start from scratch, so it is not a big deal. But so, with all of that said, do you really want such a rule to exist on this server? What do you think happens to you when the 'Dungeon Masters' decide that your character's name is somehow attacking someone else?
If you are offended by what I said have said above, I have recieved my last warning, I have discussed Intuitive Attack, so report - for I do not mind. Getting me banned is nothing special, it happens every week. But you could also choose not to be offended, this place needs more banter, your choice.

Please tell me the probability of coming up with a name that is "Hoiher Daciner" (literally my character's name with an r at the end) who looks like this:

I must say, I must commend you for making me dig through some 14 pages of PMs sent out,
and 18 pages on imgur.

Thats what the report button is for.

Locked and will follow up.

To answer the OP, we have a rule on names. If you feel someone violates that rule, please PM the DMs. We also have rules on griefing and harassment. If those are being broken (in regard to name usage or not), please report those via PMs as well.

Thanks
