Ganrich Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 I'm neither here nor there. I'll add money to add money. However, in contemplating the names I had "Blackrock Buccaneers" pop in my head. I'm a fan of alliteration when it comes to these things, though. 1
Ganrich Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 (edited) "Buccaneers of Blackrock" might roll of the tongue better though. Edit: it keeps getting better. "Buccaneers of the Blackrock". You all are welcome for the gold I'm giving you. Lol Edited February 2, 2017 by Ganrich 1

illathid Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 I think we should go with either "the obsidian marauders" or the "bastards of the Black Isle" "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
Gromnir Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 the black isle bastards (and variations) has advantage o' multiple meanings... and is a bit irreverent for folks who like that kinda the. if the former black isle folks is offended, then am guessing we can drop from consideration.

Aarik D Posted February 2, 2017 Author Posted February 2, 2017 We would like to get this on the Fig page as soon as possible for you guys, and it does take time to create the art asset for the forum badge. So I would recommend you guys make a final decision by the end of the week. Since this was Fluffle's idea, I nominate him as the captain! 1 Obsidian Discord || Grounded Discord

Fluffle Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 (edited) What is the maximum number of options on a forum poll here? And what should the character limit be for the name?

Silent Winter Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 (edited) You don't need Obsidian for that. You just need somebody to take over the initiative. Aarik (while being really nice and helpful) isn't your mama. Sure - but then we'd need another thread to choose the person to take over the initiative Fluffle - find the top rated ones from the poll and whatever other good suggestions you reckon have popped up since (and will fit) and make a poll for it here - set a deadline of 2 or 3 days and then it's settled. (You can add a 2nd poll to a single thread with more options - just make sure each one has 'voted in the other' as an option) Edited February 2, 2017 by Silent Winter _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ *Casts Nature's Terror* , *Casts Firebug* , *Casts Rot-Skulls* , *Casts Garden of Life* *Spirit-shifts to cat form*
Fluffle Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 Okay everyone, please let us post each our three favorite choices for the name. Also please consider character length. The name should not be too long. I will start. My three choices: 1.) Obsidian Marauders 2.) Black Isle Bastards 3.) Deadfire Pirates I will set up a poll on this forum with the choices that are mentioned most often by you. I will also consider the options in the straw poll. 1 "Loyal Servant of His Most Fluffyness, Lord Kerfluffleupogus, Devourer of the Faithful!" *wearing the Ring of Fire Resistance* (gift from JFSOCC)
