I try to name my faction, but with no result, help please.
What GENERIC NAME XXX is free???

[Jotisz]

Dunno whats free however you have to type Generic Name only first letters capital and then the number.

[Sarakin]

Hes asking which numbers werent taken so far. From what Ive heard, it seems all have been taken.

[GreaverC]

we took 199

[ThePhoenix77]

I know 6 and 77 are taken

[SEGA_RUS]

me took 100

[Izual]

A faction recently bought 34, try random numbers. If you don't succeed, I'll try to list free names or to get Wipe to do that

[Jotisz]

You should only post how many isn't taken yet its quite challenging to find out the correct number for example last time we went to buy a base we got it for the first time. Before that when I give caps to a pal to buy a base he tried 15 times till he got the right one.

If it's possible to list t hem that would be great.  Now granted that list would be obsolete very shortly... but it would still be a shorter list than ALL the possible combinations right

[Marko]

How 'bout just type "Generic Name" only and let the server choose the next available number.

Now that is a very good idea.

[xX_chAos_Xx]

that is a good idea. XD

I still think it would be better if we could make up names on the fly, and the server would accept them.

Yes the game would be full of stupid, none Fallout-ish faction names, but its better than standing there trying all the names you think sound good, only to find that they are all taken.
(I'm sure a filter would have to be added to not allow racist, or vulgar names also.)
ie: The [insert racist word] From [insert vulgarity] Face Lane.

Actually, now that i think of it, this would be abused in more ways than just offensive Faction names. For Example One faction could make a slew of mock factions to take towns "The Broken Hells Hunters are taking Modoc" or, "don't go to Redding, The Tim Tom and Tod Lawyer Agency is taking that town."

Ok so making our own names would serve up more problems than its worth, on the fly... Maybe there could be a place to ask for a name to be added and a PM sent to confirm that the requested name is now available.

I'd like to request "The Outcasts" be added, if its not already in the game. XD

List of unassigned faction names will be available via command after wipe.

[Marko]

Or when you buy a base, you type in your own crazy name but you don't get that name yet. Instead you get a "Generic Name" until the GMs approve the name you requested. If your requested name gets denied, you're stuck with "Generic Name 999" or whatever, so better cowboy up the maturity scale and pick a decent name the first time. This idea would not preclude the pre-approved names list which would also be an option.

[Senocular]

I thought that this awkward name list system is going to be gone after wipe...?

Oh, well.
