Proper profanity in Starmourn

AureliusAurelius
in The Commsphere
I thought some of you might enjoy using proper, modern profanity in Starmourn, and documented some of the more common profane words here: 
https://wiki.starmourn.com/Slang

The profanity filter is going to be updated this weekend to use these instead of just bleeping things out too!

    Love this, kinda wish I could go through all my posts and replace what I said with these. Now I gotta be embarrassed 10 years from now when I read my first posts! Lol.

    I kind of wish frak was on there just for the BSG reference. I can live with flakk though.

    Matt I know you mean well, but uh... Referring to something as bushie has an entirely different meaning.

    Urban Dictionary says that Bushie is a mistake, or an easily avoidable screwup. That seems to semi-fit :P

    It would appear Australia has a different meaning for it, though.

    Aussies are weird. Rooting for a team in Aus is completely different than in the US. ;)

    Sure, it has several meanings in modern day Earth depending on where you are, but only one in Starmourn!

    Hmmm, if it doesn't require major rewrites of the game/website interface, we could have it work there, yeah.

    Should totally make it work on forums. Hilarity inbound. Similar to how Aetolia forums censors every curse word to 'unicorns'
  • AureliusAurelius
    There's no reasonable way to have it work on the forums, alas.

    Build your own forums, and make Vanilla pay for it.

    So this is why Scatterhome is having a shutdown. All makes sense now.
  • NuzirNuzir
    One issue: There's a lot of denizens who use hell/shit/fuck in their dialogue rather than bala/daka/flakk, which rather undermines the notion of the latter as 'proper profanity' in Starmourn.
  • CragCrag
    yeah wtf emote it still not, "what the daka flakka flame" or whatever.
  • AureliusAurelius
    Yeah, will be taken care of at some point. 
  • KaxKax
    I wonder how many games have "NPCs don't swear correctly" as an item on their to-do list. I'm betting you guys are pretty unique in that regard...
