Selecting your own gang names
« on: March 14, 2011, 09:21:43 pm »

Hello all,

Purely for my own interest and with no officialness to be read into the outcome ....

Would you prefer to be able to choose your own gang names and not select from a pre-determined list?

also i think you should mention that someone would moderate those gang names so people should not be scared for names like pwnzor n00b wtf or etc

With little moderation, to pretend names like "The Fucking Fuckers Bitch", then of course i wanna create my own name


Btw., VSB will not be a rarely custom name as now, but nevermind  :D

I chose no, because as I said on IRC, better would be buying bases without name. Faction names could be requested/bought later by additional cash.

For example:
"Some friends which don't want to take part in Town Control" now for time to time are fucked up because there isn't any name of base. With this idea they just buy base and nothing else. Now "gang" which want to show their power and take part in Town Control cannot do it because there isn't any name which can be taken. With this suggestion after they buy base they go to "Official Departament of Factions" or something like that and buy name from list. That's all :)

That isn't the question. That could work both with chosen names and names from a list.

The only question is should names be chosen freely or from a list, nothing else about the gang system.

My answer is no, should be taken from list, because it would make another big work for moderators/GMs with deleting retarded names like "Look! Boobs here", or even you could later see "Developers are taking error"

When do you actually see other peoples clan names?

I've only been playing a week and haven't seen anything indicating people are playing inside clans or as groups, the only thing i can think of is town control but then i never visit unguarded towns much, so why would it be a drain on resources for the people deleting names if no one found out about the ridiculous names?.

This game needs a +15 mature rating ^^

That's about the only thing. Oh, and militia say "Don't mess with faction name"

I say no.  Then you'd have The Green Hand, TheGreenHand, Th3 Gr33n Hand, etc. etc. etc.  It'd obviously be much worse with big gangs.  It'd be hard to tell if your gang is really taking a town.  Also, how would moderating work?  Delete the base somebody just paid 130k for?  Or change the name to "Generic Gang 83"?
The name list wouldn't be a problem if you could have more than one base per gang.
