New Emissary Names

[kevindusi]

Is it possible to raise the max characters for a 510 order? There are a lot of fun new emissary names on the R0s, but when I try to hire someone with that long of a name (>12 characters) then I just end up with a character with a cut off name. I think it would be great if we could hire characters with the same 'flair' that the starting ones have.

Yeah, I wanted to name an agent 'Nemo Me Impune Lacessit' in a recent game, but it was too long, so I had to break the name up into three different agents. Not quite as fun.

"Nemo. That's a nice name." (Dori meets Nemo)

I'm pretty sure Cipher can manage that. Ajusting the field length to accommodate the longer names was the bigger part, but with that in place, hired characters should (when he makes the change, not now) be allowed. Also, some kingdoms with a long King name may have the influence truncated.

Thanks, Ry Vor. It's just nice to be able to be consistent with the names - from a strategic standpoint I like that it won't very obvious which are my starting emissaries and which I hired. "Kevin The Gr" not only allows people to be creative in their interpretations, but also lets them know that, hey, that guy's relatively new!

Oooh, a contest... What was the 'Gr' in 'Kevin the Gr' supposed to be the start of?

Kevin the Grinch?

Kevin the Gremlin?

Kevin the Griffon-rider?

Kevin the Grape-swallower?

What are your guesses?

All I know is that that emissary definitely needs to be commissioned in Dusi Harbor.
