Aarik D Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 Hey everyone! You guys have asked for a special unique forum badge for Deadfire and we want to make that happen! We will be adding an $8 Extra option from the Fig campaign where you will receive an additional forum badge to hoist on your sails! I am creating a new thread so that this discussion is separate from this thread to avoid confusion since two different topics are going on. Lets form this pirate order you scoundrels! 13 Obsidian Discord || Grounded Discord
Baramos Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 I compiled all of the names people have posted. the Obsidian Pirates The Obsidian Pirates of Deadfire Obsidian Band of eternal Pirates The Obsidian Marauders Raiders of the Obsidian Isle The Obsidian Flag Obsidian Order of Deadfire Deadfire Marauders of Eternity the Blue Moon Marauders of Deadfire Pillaging Pirates of Deadfire Deadfire Corsairs of the Obsidian Order Deadfire Pirates Crew of the Obsidian Pearl Buccaneers of the Deadfire ARRchipelago 6
ManifestedISO Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 Is this for a badge or a title? I'll donate for either, but I'd rather not lose the existing magic-user title. If a badge, is it in addition to the Fig badge? I'm running out of room ... 1 All Stop. On Screen.

If a badge, is it in addition to the Fig badge? I'm running out of room ... It's for a unique badge in addition to the Fig badge. And hopefully, this unique badge here will be pirate themed. Concerning the last remark, I think the forum badges should not be aligned in one column, should they? It should be two columns I'd propose. There would even be space for 3 columns in one row.

Space, yes. The question is whether the board software offers this feature.
Fluffle Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 Concerning the name, I currently favor "The Obsidian Marauders" 2 "Loyal Servant of His Most Fluffyness, Lord Kerfluffleupogus, Devourer of the Faithful!" *wearing the Ring of Fire Resistance* (gift from JFSOCC)

Ganrich Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 I'll add $8 bucks... I'm in deep enough that the cost of a trip to a fast food joint isn't going to save my tail. 3
illathid Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 The Obsidian Marauders this is my choice. 1 "Wizards do not need to be The Dudes Who Can AoE Nuke You and Gish and Take as Many Hits as a Fighter and Make all Skills Irrelevant Because Magic." -Josh Sawyer

Baramos Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) Well here's a Strawpoll for everyone to vote on. http://www.strawpoll.me/12244672 How long should we poll for? Edited February 1, 2017 by Baramos 3
Gromnir Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 could class up the joint with a bit o' the carta marina: hic sunt dracones HA!

Karkarov Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 You can put me down for another vote of "The Obsidian Marauders" 1
Eumaios Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) I've been kind of following this from afar and as an outsider, I can only ask, do you want your band to sound like a sports team... that loses all the time? The Obsidian Pirates sounds like a AAA team for the Padres, something else I wouldn't name my pirate band. I haven't spent any money, so I don't get a vote, but I think names that describe your band would be preferable to things like 'the Obsidian [name of mascot here].' Except for the Obsidian Flag. For some reason, probably the novelty, that isn't as irksome. Well here's a Strawpoll for everyone to vote on. http://www.strawpoll.me/12244672 How long should we poll for? Huzzah! My choice is tied for lead... at one vote each for three different names.

anameforobsidian Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) Why not use real boat names like the Obsidian Cacafuego. Edited February 1, 2017 by anameforobsidian 1
Leferd Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 Why not use real boat names like the Obsidian Cacafuego. Actually, that brings up a good point. You name the ship, not the band. Why not keep the original group name? Maybe Latinize (Valianize?) it? Ordo Obsidianus.

mothra Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 Deadfire Corsairs of the Obsidian Order was my pick, I'm ok with any of them.
Eumaios Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 Ohh, this is for a forum badge. I got this mixed up with what the pirate band was going to be named. Makes my comments irrelevant. Assuming they were not already so. So shines the name so shines the name of Roger Young! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MEJM0cboDg
ManifestedISO Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 do you want your band to sound like a sports team... that loses all the time? The Obsidian Pirates sounds like a AAA team for the Padres, something else I wouldn't name my pirate band. 2 All Stop. On Screen.
ShadySands Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 I'm coming up blank for good pirate names Obsidian Oyster Cult Rum Guzzlers Loose Association of Dread Pirates named Roberts Lieutenants Yarr! Maybe I'll watch some pirate movies tomorrow... does Boat Trip count as a pirate movie? 2 Free games updated 3/4/21
ManifestedISO Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 Does Time Bandits count as a pirate movie? 2 All Stop. On Screen.
kirottu Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 Obsidian Oyster Cult is a wonderful name for pirates. Bunch of men lootin', pillagin', and dancin' the night away. 1 This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.
IndiraLightfoot Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 I picked Obsidian Marauders as well. It's catchy and implies our dogging their office, which we normally do, anyways. 2 *** "The words of someone who feels ever more the ent among saplings when playing CRPGs" ***
