February 1, 20178 yr If we're naming after bands, I would suggest Pirate Queen. Maybe light opera? The Pirates of Penzance! Frederic's Bawdy Band! Combine them even? Frederic's Band of Bawdy Queens! So shines the name so shines the name of Roger Young! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MEJM0cboDg
February 1, 20178 yr What about something with "Black Isle" on it? Like "Black Isle Marauders" (since marauders seems to be the most popular) or something along those lines, so it's both thematically fitting and a bit different than th Obsidian order. And it would be a nice homage, too, IMHO. Edited February 1, 20178 yr by Rorschach
February 1, 20178 yr Heh, about this one? Feargus's Buccaneers! *** "The words of someone who feels ever more the ent among saplings when playing CRPGs" ***
February 1, 20178 yr I don't mind what it becomes~ But... with thay said, I read a little bit about the Pearl Coast yesterday... Obsidian Order of the Pearl Coast? (An off-branch of the Order)
February 1, 20178 yr How about just: Deadfire Corsairs Has a ring to it. "What if a mid-life crisis is just getting halfway through the game and realising you put all your points into the wrong skill tree?"
February 1, 20178 yr We should be "Pirates of the Obsidian Order" and then use the acronym in badges and stuff. Or maybe not...
February 1, 20178 yr Worth noting: When I enter my Fig account, no pirate membership add-on is available as of yet. Perhaps they're waiting on us deciding upon a name. *** "The words of someone who feels ever more the ent among saplings when playing CRPGs" ***
February 1, 20178 yr Worth noting: When I enter my Fig account, no pirate membership add-on is available as of yet. Perhaps they're waiting on us deciding upon a name. No, not "perhaps". They are in fact waiting for us to decide on a name. "Loyal Servant of His Most Fluffyness, Lord Kerfluffleupogus, Devourer of the Faithful!" *wearing the Ring of Fire Resistance* (gift from JFSOCC)
February 1, 20178 yr Worth noting: When I enter my Fig account, no pirate membership add-on is available as of yet. Perhaps they're waiting on us deciding upon a name. Most likely. Description of the add-on would be funny otherwise: "Some freak club membership with random thematic name and a forum badge or whatever: 8 bucks"
February 1, 20178 yr Your funny answer inspired me: Here's a new suggestion: Freaky Frigateers of the Obsidian Order! *** "The words of someone who feels ever more the ent among saplings when playing CRPGs" ***
February 1, 20178 yr We may not have a name yet, but may I suggest this cozy village as our base of operations? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNwwnwl8aMA "Loyal Servant of His Most Fluffyness, Lord Kerfluffleupogus, Devourer of the Faithful!" *wearing the Ring of Fire Resistance* (gift from JFSOCC)
February 1, 20178 yr Your funny answer inspired me: Here's a new suggestion: Freaky Frigateers of the Obsidian Order! Behold the power of the FFOO!!
February 1, 20178 yr I did suggest "Buccaneers of the Obsidian Order" because A.It is in keeping with the previouse Obsidian order & B.Either Buccaneer (or Pirates) nails it to the theme of POE II But yeh, i am up for pressing the $8 Fig button to get a badge (at least it is not on trust like the last campaign lol) We are missing Sister Goldring, Batnat, Crabby, Dlux & Jason on the Figstarter Battlemage of The Obsidian Order|WoOS's|AoUA|BoSB & Knight of the Lily Currently playing Torment:Tides of Numenera & Reading Neverwinter Saga Gauntlgrym
February 1, 20178 yr I did suggest "Buccaneers of the Obsidian Order" And BOO is so much better than POO...
February 1, 20178 yr Great point, Khanach! Also, Pirates of the Obsidian Order is a bit too generic to my liking. And who knows? BoO is perhaps led by a vicious pirate with a tame hamster with an eye-patch. *** "The words of someone who feels ever more the ent among saplings when playing CRPGs" ***
February 1, 20178 yr I did suggest "Buccaneers of the Obsidian Order" And BOO is so much better than POO...ARR, The Archipelagos Ravaging RaidersYARR, Your Archipelagos Ravaging Raiders YAHARR, Your Artistic & Happy Archipelago Ravaging Raider Edit: Not good ones... just, would be funny with something like "Yaharro!" (O being "Order") Edited February 1, 20178 yr by Osvir

BoO is perhaps led by a vicious pirate with a tame hamster with an eye-patch. haha, yes.

Like "Black Isle Marauders" (since marauders seems to be the most popular) or something along those lines, so it's both thematically fitting and a bit different than th Obsidian order. And it would be a nice homage, too, IMHO. One of my suggestions in the original thread was "Raiders of the Obsidian Isle", as an homage (and my attempt to be [Clever]). Regardless of the piratical noun or format chosen, I do really like the sound of a Black Isle homage. What greater cause is there, than the jingling of coin in my pocket? ...the jingling of coin in your pocket.
February 1, 20178 yr I vote for Pirates Who Could Not Come Up With a Name of Obsidian Order Hate the living, love the dead.

(O being "Order") The Yaharro! = The Young and Honorable Aquatic Rapscallion Raider Order Okay it was a stretch... Random musing - Order of Obsidian Freebooters (OOF!) The Obsidian Order of Notorious Privateers, not Pirates (TOONPNP) The Order of Obsidian Sea Hawks (TOOSH) Corsairs of the Obsidian Seas (COS) The Obsidian Buccaneers for Naval Order (TOBNO) (sounds like a weirdo temperance group) I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man
February 1, 20178 yr Of the above list/poll, I like Deadfire Corsairs of the Obsidian Order the best. I'm not particularly biased toward Corsairs over Marauders or Pirates or whatever, but I like having the game name referenced again, really want to keep an O alliteration in there, and keeping continuity as another - mayhaps more unsavory - branch of the Obsidian Order would be a nice bonus.
