' Wrote:Look, man, this thing does not apply to the names of ships. It applies to the names of factions. So unless your faction name is "RNC-Deutschland" you are fine. "HMS-New.Zealand" would also be fine.
Use your RP sense.
RP sense, yes. iRP I see it being ok.
But hell, what does RP care for, if the rules say it's not allowed!?
This wasn't about RP. Not only at least. It was about, what do the rules say?
And it came up with that message cannon wrote.
I was pretty sure it is allowed. I just wanted to know for sure.
Thank you.
-> Vladimir: Where I live you got to be carefull with that Nazistuff. It's against the law.
And if the admins don't like those references here, I won't dare say anything against them, they got their reasons not to allow Nazi-symbols/names/etc if they are clearly conntected to that. And they are the ones who make/enforce the rules around here. The same applies for other names which are connected to things which really shouldn't be joked about. At least not around people who you don't know and who could be offended by it.
Quote:There are a few names that aren't allowed for ship names, in referring to people or places. You're not naming something Adolph Hitler, Joseph Beria, or Auschwitz
Woops, I have a Rheinland Prison Liner to rename...
EDIT: And why not Joseph Beria? Because he was a child soldier?
EDIT2: Woops, wrong person. Confused Beria and Bara

In New York last night, there was someone who was spamming in system chat "//Please stop using the term "retard," it's discriminatory against the mentally challenged."

1. the newzealand ship may well be called Aotearoa
2. the newzealand ship is leaving it a little late to come to the party
3. actual countries' names are never used in naming warships. its really bad luck to have to say HMS Great Britain has been sunk by the Bismarck. there is a steam ship 'Great Britain', and as such is never gonna see combat. stick instead to regions, mountains, rivers, deceased heroic politicians/scientists.
