Selecting your own gang names

<< < (6/19) > >>

id vote yes, make them able to type anything, except add a filter to it, so they arent accepted if there is words boobs, fuck, tits, pussy, etc. and if someone breaks it as typing b00bs, they can be banned (all members of base) for some days/weeks, and base deleted. why not? why would someone risk 130k for ban and losing base... it should be clearly told to everyone, i bet there will be just 10 fools to do that...

And what if someone types his gang name in other language than english? What would you say to "Děvko, pobliju ti kozu!" gangname when you would be the guy to decide whats ok and whats not?

If I would be the head of 2238's development i would go for:
- everyone able to type his own gang name ingame during gang formation (not while you buy hideout, these should be 2 separate actions)
- lore names such as Enclave, BoS, NCR restricted
- gang names would be allowed to consist only of letters of english alphabet (no special signs, numerals, russian or whatever)
- rest described in my old suggestion linked above

Solar:
Yes, but when they go to buy that name, should it be chosen by them or from a list.

That is all there is to this question, nothing else about the system.

Eclair:
Definitely, maybe

Well in case of FOnline its debatable since the community is not that large therefore its possible to keep things up and running using premade gang names.
But when it comes to game itself you can see that often gangs don't care what name is on the TC line. They call themselves otherwise anyway and they are referred to as "own gang name" rather than "premade gang name" here on forums too. They only had to take whats left ingame so they could setup a gang.

Therefore I've mentioned other aspects of 2238 that are closely connected to gang names and affect each other.
base = gang -> can end up in 1 gang using 3+ other gang names just to have more bases
more bases = more gang names -> need to create new gang names when all premade are already taken

So far everyone starting an active gang has 2 options. Either choose from premade name and be recognized as such or simply ignore premade names and call themselves as they see fit and with enough propaganda, community will memorize and call them by their own name, not by the premade one. And so far my experience is that those who participate in wasteland politics choose to ignore premade names. And I must say there have been no attempts to go down in history with gang name like "Pwned ya n00b" as far as I can remember. Also there is another sort of people who don't give a f*** and for those gang name is just another requirement to get place for few people to safely store stuff and play a bit together.

So for big gangs or people who want to be seen its a great opportunity to create their own identity ingame. And for everyone else, well... that name won't be seen by a mans eye until next wipe, when some dev might decide to read them in database, so where is the harm in this?
