For Honour and Glory RPG

Now that I come to think about it, we need a new name on the RPG now that the White War is actually over and it's also clear that the RPG won't be only about the War against the Defiled Kingdom and its allies.

However, my main point is that I think we should try and get more people to join. This is both a request and an advice to those people who are not in it. Just give it a chance, because it really is worth it. And if you say you won't have that much time just give it a shot nonetheless because most of the people already playing in it are quite busy themselves.

I think, in fairness, FHaG RPG is a good name. I wasn't aware it was called the White War RPG in the first place :blink: I always thought it to be referred to as the FHaG RPG, or more simply; the RPG.

HIC, I demand that you bludgeon yourself with a rock until your mental status returns to the level of a rapist who calls back to apologise! Your use of elaborate language and words is making me uneasy. Although, I am somewhat relieved to see that your punctuation remains shit-based.

Yeah, but we should have a proper name that defines what it is more about and to tell it apart from other RPGs set in the same place.

Any chance of maybe your pal Dom joining in Alex?

But surely there are no other FHaG RPGs? The Realm of Purity is set apart due to its name, and I thought that the main RPG was supposed to be very long, after all the war with the Defiled Kingdom has barely begun, and the Shiverland Crusade hasn't started. So other RPGs wouldn't be started until this is finished right?

Pal? That bastard stabbed me in the back.

So there is little chance of that happening, I am afraid.

If you want a proper name for the RPG, then why not something to do with chronicles and the telling of the tales of great heroes? 'The Path of Heroes' or something.

P.S. That's just a cheesy idea to prove my point, not a proper suggestion.

"It really is amazing; she killed Kelan Wealer, not that I am complaining, but then the order welcomed her as their new leader. It makes one wonder if I were to ram a blade down her throat, would the monks then follow my commands?" - Mordain Thaendil.

I think Chad has a good point. Personally, I think something along the lines of "Shattered Alliance" sounds cool. After all - that was the core of the rpg...

But we are past that point now and in the future we will be allies, so naming it that would be a poor choice, no offense.

Sure we are, but in the end we just want something that sounds cool. Either we take something from the storyline and use it as a name, or we make something stereotypic as "Enemies and Allies" or something crappy like that.

How about "Divide and Conquer"? That has multiple meanings.

How about something like "The Tomes of Legend" or something simple, ambiguous, and vague?

At this point I strictly disagree. Our alliance IS shattered, we can't argue in that. We might be united against a common enemy, but that is because we're forced to it. But because of what has happened, it does not really matter. The alliance IS shattered.

So I'll supporte the name "Shattered Alliance" since the relationship between White Realm and Weissland (or the people living in those realms) will for most of the time be the main theme. And this does not isolate Ahm-Shere since that nation plays a crucial role when it comes to the relationship between those two realm.

Either way, I'm against naming it after something from the plotline, as not all the plots will deal with that.

But nearly all the plot lines will be related to the relationships between the different characters. And as the RPG move on, more and more characters will be marked by what they do earlier, and other characters trust (ie relationship) in those people will be "shattered".

So "Shattered Alliance" works in many ways


Consider the situation between Valek and Erkenbrand. That's a shattered alliance. Between Almirith and James. Between James and Rebecca. Between Andy and Ariakas. Between Andy and Videous. Between Sunny and Lathaon. And so on..

Agreed, but then maybe "alliances" is the wrong word. And Almirith is dead...I killed him. :lol:

Despite that being true, I consider it irrelevant to my argument :P

Though I don't think alliance is an unfitting word. What do others think?

I like it personally. And "not all plots are about that" is a vague argument. Not all plots were about the Half Blood prince in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. Not all the plots were about Oblivion in Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Not all plots were about the Return of the King in Lotr: The Return of the King. I could go on.
