We'll see how this works out. I'll keep this thread open so we can get some more thoughts on the topic with ethereals now testmerged on Bagil.
Examples of proper ethereal naming conventions at the present moment would be:
Andromeda PL
Themis TR
Sol MV
Gamma A
Kepler C

I realize there's some really wacky/long/etc. names of celestial bodies that exist.
Keep your ethereal names reasonable/realistic and there won't be any problems. You may be asked to change your name if it's something ridiculous or stupid.

Their naming convention is a celestial body followed by two capitalized letters. E.g. "Andromeda XV" or "Jupiter EP".

Nobody wants to hear people screaming "red sus" if your ethereal named red is a traitor (or acting suspiciously near the atmospherics system haha vent get it laugh please)

That might be why Fikou's being harder on this case in specific as opposed to "general ethereal naming policy"

ATHATH wrote:Red is a perfectly acceptable ethereal name for an ethereal. There are numerous real life humans who are named Red, and they didn't literally glow red. Why is an ethereal choosing such a name such a huge stretch?
