' Wrote:Though I'm not particularly good at it I enjoy inventing swear words, pretending unassuming words are crude. More often than not however, I end up resortomg to "cow." A hard-line anti-importer yelled at me for using "bantha."
Pretending to swear in a manner such as that usually helps to keep the roleplaying situation in perspective, something actual swear words do quite the opposite of.
Try: FUDGE!
Note: using Fudge will be a copyright infrigiment and you would have to pay Caribe 10,000 credits for everytime the word fudge is Mentioned.
Been here since Discovery 4.77 (lurk mode engaged)

He flies through half the system before going back to New Berlin, where he cruises from one side of the system to the other, hugging the sun as close as he can. All the while, he flies near Battleships trying to scrape me off. I finally send out the white flag, and move back to Sigma 13. However, it was a ruse, and he bit. Knowing his trade route, I interdicted the trade lane and the chase began anew. It ended, an hour after it began, with me retreating, out of Countermeasures and getting very irritated.
He kept boasting how he has never been caught; I'd like to see him beat until he begs to pay, then beaten some more.

I'm particularly fond of "blasted!" and "damnation!" as expletives I've never seen a complained about. I've considered "balls!" as a signal that I don't believe whatever is being said at the moment, but I think that it would be walking the line.
Well, I do say, sir, I believe that to be a load of balderdash.
I am also of the opinion that such a blasted bounder as yourself could never rise from your levels of ineptitude in order to conduct the necessary actions to obtain said copyright.
I use phrases like "What the hell!" a lot in character, for example when I see someone oorp, or if i get nuke mine 1 shottied. But I find Damn and Hell acceptable, If someone reports you for that, then they need to get a life.
I'd genuinely like a bit of admin input here, as there's a fairly undefined line, and since I play a couple of foul-mouthed characters, I'd like to know where the line is.
For example:
Terms relating to coitus, faeces and genitalia I would regard as 'out'
The word "bastard" is in game (either base rumours or infocards or both, can't remember), and it is also embedded in lexicon anyway (William the Bastard was king of England, etc), I haven't said this yet, but I would see it as basically fine. It is used as a swearword in a lot of PG-rated films and videogames.
Term meaning a female dog is pretty borderline. Like bastard, it has a more solid bases in common speech, but that's also faded somewhat and I'd say it's probably less acceptable. This is basically where the line is for me, but I'm not sure on which side.
As for stuff like wanker, that's much more offensive than bastard over here, but it's just a joke to foreign ears, so I don't know how to judge it.
but yes, an admin line would be nice to have here, since I want to be as foul mouthed as permitted on a couple of chars, haha.
