A good rule of thumb is to ask yourself: ''Is this a brand or some other type of proper noun in real life?'' If the answer is yes, then it's probably not suited for the Achaean environment and you're better off finding an in-character equivalent. | ||

Something to remember, per [[Sarapis]]' note on [http://forums.achaea.com/discussion/comment/291082/#Comment_291082/a forum post]: "I also want to point out that this isn't black and white, even though approvals are by necessity black and white. There's a spectrum, and it's an immensely subtle and wide spectrum. There are no bright, clear, simple lines to be drawn and so it's completely inevitable, especially with something where we can't spend much time on it, that there'll be inconsistencies, both real and perceived. We work to minimise those of course but we'll never be able to get rid of them. It's just too broad a subject matter." | Something to remember, per [[Sarapis]]' note on [http://forums.achaea.com/discussion/comment/291082/#Comment_291082/a forum post]: "I also want to point out that this isn't black and white, even though approvals are by necessity black and white.
