===Naming Policy===
===Our Naming Policy===
When choosing your name, you should keep a few things in mind. First and most importantly, '''if the [[Guides]] (Romeo or Juliet) or an [[Divine]] ask you to change your name, change it!''' We don't want to waste time explaining why "Awesomesauce" <!-- This was an actual graduate from the Trial! --> is an unacceptable name, especially when it's obviously detrimental to our roleplaying environment. No matter how hard you try to convince us, no Earthly or Achaean parents would name their child Awesomesauce. The best name is an original one that you created, and not a dictionary word. It should be reasonably pronounceable without seriously injuring one's vocal organs.
