We have decided to start enforcing some RP a bit more than we previously had. Specifically, we have decided to start enforcing better RP in titles, shop names, and any public channel besides chat. What this means is that immortals (whether Celani, admin gods, normal Gods, etc) may talk to you and ask you to please keep your title/shop/channel talk in character. If you feel you have a very valid point, you can, of course, try to convince them that you're right, but once they have made a final ruling, please do not argue, as it just wastes your time and theirs.
Some vague rules to think about for your title:
1) A title is just that, a title. It is not a sentence.
2) No acronyms in titles. I will explain, as I realize this is a very unpopular decision with some Sentinels (the OBJ - Of Jaguar Black sentinels). Having your title be something like Sarapis, of Jaguar Black, is perfectly acceptable. Having OBJ or any acronym like that in your title makes us look like we have a bunch of wanna-be gangsters or something playing.
3) Overly silly titles (our discretion) are bad.
Examples of good titles would be:
Bob, the Lion-hearted.
Druid Bob Fionuaidh.
(obviously Bob itself is not a good name for this milieu =)
Freya Xanne Kaer-Leigh
Lord Buckthorn of Ceylon
Examples of bad titles would be:
The Santos Project
Smiling sweetly, Viviana the Pouncer
Generally, shorter is sweeter. Trying to cram all sorts of information into your title just makes you look silly. In any case, most of you have perfectly acceptable titles. It's just a few that don't, and you will likely be hearing from us.
