Title: Name tags!!!!!
Post by: Thoth on December 02, 2008, 10:28:54 PM
I was noticing that there are too many players/characters to keep track of everyone's name/tribe/auspice/rank/cool traits and such.    I would appreciate the use of name tags with the pertinent info to your character on it. 

Maybe Marc would be excited to do this :)

Thanks,
Nick

I disagree. My name-fu is strong.

I approve of wearing signs to show your obvious merits/flaws. (Like how many people honestly know that Garret glows green like a Wyrm creature in the Umbra?)

But I'm not big on nametags :P I just call people by "Hey you! New kid!"

don't like it... My character purposely is afraid of people she doesn' tknow... so would would they instantly be able to look at a name tag... no... "heah you ugley one" is the usually more appropriate name for those who do not interact with her purposely...

Still, I find it useful.  From my understanding Renown is instinctually known to other garou.  As a result I would expect that all the members of the sept would know each other regardless of whether they use it or not.

That and Thoth knows everyone's name rank and serial number.  Nick can't remember them all and is looking for a way to do it without breaking character to do it.

Just my thoughts.

We have the renown beads... isn't that what you are looking for?

I wouldn't be opposed to bringing a bunch of blank "Hello My Name Is:" stickers and some markers to game...  Each player can decide what goes on their tag for all to see.  Players would really need to self-regulate the interactions though.  It wouldn't really be appropriate for one character to approach another and address he or she by name, if they've never been introduced before, for example.

I suppose I could use the practice on my Дs.

ok, new athro ruling......adren and under introduce yourself everytime someone of the sept approaches you or get tossed into the umbra ocean with the rokea.


Now.....who's not sure Thoth will throw you in the for the humor or the lesson?  :)

*raises hand* so how are the silly young ones SUPPOSED to know who is adren or above if they don't introduce themselves... I think we should change the rule... to if anyone of Adren or above who doesn't introduce themselves gets punted into the ocean in a giant pumpkin launcher... THAT would ba fun revel!!!!!!

I would love one of the spiffy badges I've seen before (I think I saw one of them on Nick actually...). Instruction on their creation would be welcome.
Title: Re: Name tags!!!!!
Post by: Baron Tarl on December 03, 2008, 10:09:41 AM
But by doing this Nick, you lose all the greatmoments where some idiot cliath walks up to Tarl and Juile and starts talking to them like they are just random garou.

And let us not forget the pixie stix incident.

I fully disagree with such an idea.

Yes much happiness on name badge creation...and in a related note if you have purebreed and would like purebreed beads let me know I has them on me most of the time when we are in game.

(oh yeah and *was totally that cliath talking to julie darkfire*)

Post by: Shulamith on December 03, 2008, 02:35:19 PM
FIRST you want me to actually wear my Renown beads and NOW you want me to put my name on my shirt?

Oh, hell no.

Nooooo ... If I get to wear a bald cap every game Kat... giggle then I think Tom should like bring bright green tule to wrap around himself when he is in the umbra... *grin*

Sure, I'll wear a name tag... Oh what, I wear my name on my chest with my renown beads and I have my auspice and tribe PAINTED on my face.
:: looks at Nick:: I figured that you had a brain fart during game, dude... but come one.... You thought I was an Uktena and I have the Wendigo tribe symbol on my face. It made me laugh a little inside, but I did not wanted to hit you with the WTF during game, because i figured that it would have been cruel and wrong. Luckily, Im a nice guy  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Title: Re: Name tags!!!!!
Post by: Kiara on December 03, 2008, 04:13:51 PM

Why would we need to tell them apart?

NOt everyone has memorized every tribe symbol man...gee you think just because we larp we spend all our time geeking? ;)

It's a letter "W"! "W" for "Wendigo". "W" for "Whiny"...

Post by: Thoth on December 03, 2008, 05:08:11 PM
Yes, I wear my name tag every game, 9 out of 10 anyways.

No, I don't memorize all the tribal glyphs.

Yes, I forgot Wapi's and Coat's tribes, which started this thread.

Post by: Eset on December 03, 2008, 05:10:09 PM
And I got poned over my first month for not knowing who you were (if you hadn't forgotten)... so I guess everyone is even  :) ::)

's just sad that my faux pas was a cliath who gets kicked around and then forgotten... whereas yours was an athro challenging for elder... (sorry dude... kinda sucks)

I'm assuming you have etiquitte? why didn't you spend it at the game??????
Title: Re: Name tags!!!!!
Post by: Thoth on December 03, 2008, 05:20:49 PM
If I was awake enough to remember etiquette I'd have been awake enough to ignore the metis in the first place, deal with Lakota or Pebe or a number of other good options.

I don't remember ever seeing it.

Now I'm wondering where exactly you put that name tag...
Title: Re: Name tags!!!!!
Post by: Mass Trauma NPC on December 03, 2008, 07:16:16 PM
Keep in mind that steph is distracted by colorful objects and Wapi wears feathers...
