' Wrote:That system sounds good, but the tags would require a lot of name changing, and at 2mil a pop, it's not very accessable for newbies to the server to change their names often.
@ Max: Well thought out, but I'm afraid I must agree with Nightfall. With a little work, you can appear in others' HUDS as you need to be for your particular faction or role play. And it would be a bit redundant to see someone on your hud as "Outcast - [Out]Rocky-Raccoon_[X]". That person is obviously either very friendly or closely aligned with the Outcasts already, and yeah, he's not out distributing candy.
(Oh, yeah... and the ELF would need another "closing" tag, like [M] for "missionary". Snort.)
@Nightfall: You worked for your Guard tag??? Pops somehow got his Outcast Guard tag by bloody accident, no rhyme nor reason, on his Trader no less! Can't get rid of the stupid thing, so I've taken to considering it some weird honor bestowed on me. (Either that or a cock-up at Ship's Registry.. lol.)
@Ross: Agreed. Cost would be a prohibitive factor. If new Disco clans wished to adopt this convention, I see no problem at all; but expecting everyone to conform, or to undergo another wipe, seems a bit extreme.
