Swearing Clarification - chovynz - 04-29-2008
Hi. Just wanted some clearing up.
I've been using "Goram" as a "swearword" ingame and on the forums.
It's a little habit I've picked up from watching Serenity.
Is this allowed?

I don't know what it means, but is it a swear in another language? If so, then no, it's not allowed.

As far as I'm aware it's a nonsense word.
But I've also heard that it's chinese.
Could someone confirm this?

Well...Seeing as in the show "Firefly" it is slang for "God d---", I'd reccomend you not...

Well, I've heard that using the words "hell" and "damn" were acceptable as long as they weren't directed at any one person/group, appropriate for RP (common sense).
Example:
"What the hell is going on here?" - Okay
"(after dying) WHAT THE HELL???" - Not okay
"Damnit, me ship be burnin'!" - Okay
"Damn you!" - Not okay
Also in question is the usage of "God", "Jesus", and etc.
Clarification?

'Goram' is perfectly acceptable because it's not a real swear word
also, I peronally, like to use the word 'smeg' from Red Dwarf:P
@Poo: 'Goram' was inventeted to replace 'g*d*a*n' in the show Nyung mentioned
::edit:: boss beat me to the punch:Pbut, imho, if it's in a characters nature to swear, then there is absolutely nothing wrong w/ saying 'goram'.
reguardless of what it replaces, it's not an offensive word::

I agree, surely part of RP should be to come with non-swearing ways of swearing? I mean why shouldn't you be able to use a fictional swearword from a fictional show? I use smeg as well, as well as 'Drokk' from the Judge Dredd comics.

I did not know that. Thank you sir. I'll be modifying my language.

Oh. Then in my books, it's acceptable as well.
And no, it's not Chinese. :P

While I'm here and so is the topic, is 'Frack' accepted since its used in Battlestar Galactica?
I try to say Darn all the time, more bang that Damn now.;)
