Swearing Clarification

[chovynz]

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.

[chovynz]

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...

Just go play the game and have fun dammit.

all in all the conclusion is that disco doesn't need antagonist factions, it doesn't need phantoms, it doesn't need nomads, it doesn't need coalition and it doesn't need many other things, no AIs, the game is hijacked by morons to confuse the game with their dickwaving generic competition games mixed up with troll-of-the-day.

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.;)
