Editing Pig & Whistle Society Charter (section)

==About Names==

Names matter. Or, you could say, we're a bit concerned about names. Kirin Tor is a roleplaying server, even if little roleplaying goes on there, and a lot of the Pig & Whistle Society is made up of rpg.net forum members, and the guild continues to exist to serve that forum's community. In general, we expect players to pick character names which sound like actual names rather than forum IDs. "Squeakybob" wouldn't go over so well. "Bob" would be fine. Of course, "Bob" is a pretty boring name, but it's clearly a name. If you're stuck, try using the random name generator on the character creation screen. You may have to hit it a bunch of times to get something you like, or you might see something which inspires you to come up with a similar name that you really do like. 

We're not jerks. You may see some character names in the guild which skirt the edge of this. That may well be because people heard about the guild and paid money to transfer their characters over to Kirin Tor to join us, and in that context it'd be rude to tell them to rename their characters if there is only a slight problem with their names. 

It should be noted, though, that it's a bit of a guild pastime to share and groan over some of the bad names that other people pick for their characters on the server. 

There is a little more leeway for a couple of character types:  gnomes tend to have silly names, so somewhat sillier names are allowed.  But there is a point at which an officer may say they feel your suggested name is just too silly; if so, please try to think of something else.  The second category are death knights, who have gone through the process of becoming part of the Scourge and then becoming free; they might choose a different name at that time.

Some suggestions:
* Please don't use accented characters in your name.  It makes it impossible to easily type your name.
