I thought names like:
Make Your Fate
Choosing Sides
and so on were better ideas than "Going Rogue". But it's a bit late to pull back now.

I think it could have a better name than "Going Rogue", but I don't much care about the name. I care more that we're finally getting a boxed expansion. I've been asking for one for years.
[ QUOTE ]
1) When did Issue 16 become "Going Rogue"? We know it's the next paid expansion but when was it announced as Issue 16?

The "unsubscribe" link from the teaser web page:

[/ QUOTE ]
Still puzzling over this response. Is this meant to link to some sort of confirmation that i16 is indeed going to coincide with the release of Going Rogue?
I'm not seeing solid information in either direction. Is linking to the unsubscribe link for GR newsletters just another example of typical forumite coyness? Or is there some information on either of those pages I'm simply not seeing?
Can someone from the community more in the know speak clearly about this?
Not trying to start any fights. Really just looking for a clear answer here as to whether we have any confirmation or not regarding GR and i16. Thanks.

Probably has something to do with the fact that the link to stop update emails for GR says "ncsoft_issue_16_1_mailing_list" in it.

It's really from indian gift exchanges - which were practiced in Japan, and other cultures as well.

Wouldn't that be an Ainu giver?

Okay. I'm dense. I get it now. Thanks for taking the time to catch up the slow folks.

Native: You can use this land, sure no problem.
European: Sweet, free land.
(3 days later)
European: What are you doing on my land?
Native: Hunting.
European: You can't hunt here, this is mine, you said I could have it.
Native: Dude, totally not what we meant.
European: No backsies! (shoots native)
Not to mention the term "European Giver" could just as easily indicate someone who gives something to someone else in the hopes of infecting them with a lethal plague, and would be alot more accurate.
[/ QUOTE ]
OMG laughing beyond control. I can see this being one of JDs little crazy visions on Scrubs. Espescially with the term "backsies" in it.
Back on track, I think Going Rougue is fine, but I agree that something like "Choose your Destiny" or "Make your Fate" would have been loads more awesomeficationized. ...its a word... Verb: Past tense, to make awesome.

Since when are all random websites on the Internet authoritative? "newzyouwant"? Seriously? Doesn't the z in there automatically mean that site is illegal anyway??

My assumption about the z still stands, dammit!

Just basing this off of common usage.

Common usage doesn't make a slur (if it is a slur) any less a slur.

And in any case, I've not got Devo's "Girl U Want' stuck in my head.
Which is okay...one can do far worse.

How about Dandelo: Dirty Racist, or maybe my offense is because I'm Canadian, I've been told that Native American's don't get the same level of respect everywhere in NA, but I'd like to think they deserve more than to be the butt of a joke.
I mean you wouldn't say "Issue 14: They j###d me" or "Issue 14: [Censored] stole my bike" because that would be horribly offensive. Or I dunno, maybe you would.

Ironically my post came right after yours. Just wanted to say, I don't know about other people, but I don't see this as a PC thing. I don't live in India, and so the indigenous people here do not include my landlord Nazir Malik, they include my down stairs neighbor Berny and his wife Chris.
Further, one cannot assume that because they are not European they are in some way untrustworthy, and if you say you don't think Native's are untrustworthy why compare a schemer to a native?
Finally, why have a catch all term for the various indigenous peoples? We don't refer to Russians, Chinese, Indians, and Arabs as 'Asians' just because their all from the same continent. The Native Americans living near me are Mi'gmaw for example, as opposed to Inuit or Ojibwa.
I dunno, I just think in this day and age, PC or not, we can stop using the various as insults.

It is only an insult if people choose to view it as such.
I refer you to a word that is very popular among "gangstas" a word that is used to describe their best friend, which was once used only to keep them down. A word that I know would be censored, and even if it wasn't I would get modsmacked and possibly banned because I am white and used it.
I also will refer you to sitting "Indian style" something we all did as kids, which is no longer allowed, because that's racist, forcing quite a few elementary school teachers to come up with a quick "fun" term for it, none of which make much sense.

To be honest when ever I see the name i do think it has some kind of naughty connotation, and giggle like a 8 year old school boy when they hear the word poop.
edit:
Refering to the OP not that silly Indian thing. Get off your high horse if you find it bad. Its just a dam saying.
I have quite honestly never heard that phrase before in my life.

So they have trouble with the term "Cross-legged"?

I think the title is pretty good. Most of the suggestions I've read here are either awkward or generic.

[/ QUOTE ]
There is, of course, a difference here. The N-word you alluded to has been embraced as a way to remove its stigma. If I were a black man, I might feel that me using the N-word is empowering, as now it is MY word, not the word of silly racist white people. The same goes for the other F-word and the gay community (though that one offends me regardless).

All this does is end up with people of all races all over the world using the word unironically because they think it's cool.
[ QUOTE ]
Anyone else think the title of this issue is just lame?
Why not just "City of Heroes: Rogue" or perhaps "City of Heroes: Shades of Grey"?
I'm sure there are a lot of creative writers out there, what other titles do you think would be more appropriate?
