Penguania And Antarctica wrote:Nah. You get a pop-up message everytime a child of a 'close' relative is born. The game picks a random name of the culture, for instance Ludbert for a medieval German name as an automatic proposal. But you have a text field there so you can give them whatever name you want. If persons with the same name become ruler of the nation the game automatically adds the number when they are coronated. Multiple first names are possible but there is a limit of characters.

So I could name the kid 'Bla Bla Toot Toot Noot'. :)

For the relatives that are born which aren't so close to you the game picks random names of out of a pool of medieval names. It also often uses the names of the parents or grandparents for the children.

Okay. That makes sense. Guess that explains all the Percys.

Interesting. Glad to hear you got Sodor back, and even gained Derby. What's the status of Cumbria, around Carlisle and Barrow-in-Furness? That's the area of England that Sodor has the closest connection to, and it'd be nice if that could be brought under Sudrian/Percytonian control as well.

Also, I get nicknames like 'the Gracious' and 'the Cruel', but where does 'the Black' come from? Was Percy II a mean man? Did he have a darker complexion? Did he wear black clothing or black paint?

I´m not entirely certain why, but I forgot Uncle Orv was dead and went a-lookin´ for him.

Now, there is but sadness where there once was an asshole.

Nothing much. Going through my first year of college, and that's going alright.

Right now I'm just at community college to fill my prerequisites and get an AA degree. Once I go to university, I'd like to study history and journalism.

I just happen to like it more. Discussion is promoted, and people actually respect my opinions and want to hear them and discuss what we believe. Not to mention the professor is super nice and has strict standards, which is something I respect.

Well, I think you'll really enjoy this region, just apply for citizenship and you can join our parliament instantaneously if you'd like.

Mag started a Hetalia style RP before he left, since he left though it's pretty much dead. C'est la vie.

Yo, RP is something the COFN -and most regions- do to liven up life. It's essentially a "make your own character and run with it" affair. If you plan to RP, you should probably seek Citizenship by sending the requisite telegram to Vista Major (I don't know if he's updated it yet or not) and then, if you're interested, ask me for the rules.

Just grabbed some food and tea. Now I'll look into the citizenship.
