What is inappropriate about "Vesper Bardic Guild"?

RockRock Posts: 567

My new tamer is out & about marking runes.  I like the runes to say where in a city they go to.  In Vesper there is a Bardic Guildmaster within the building called "Musician's Hall".  Since I tend not to remember building/shop names, I named the rune "Vesper Bardic Guild".  For some reason that name was rejected as "inappropriate".  What on earth makes it inappropriate?  My mind is apparently insufficiently twisted to comprehend.

Thus I ended up labeling the rune "Vesper Musician's Hall" after all.

    Some skill titles will not work as a guild title. "Carpenter" "Smith" "Tailor" "Bard". It's been that as long as I can remember.

    Odd,  You cant have Bardic in the name with a space and another letter.

    You can write Vesper Guild Bardic  But not the order you want.
    Focus on what you can do, not what you can't.

    This is not an important issue, I just found it puzzling.  Perhaps "bardic" is a bad word in some non-English language.  But if so, why was the guy a "Bardic Guildmaster"?

    You can write Bardic just fine  you just can not put a space and any letter after Bardic.

    I do not know why.

    You could name it like I said above:
    Vesper Guild Bardic
    Guild Vesper Bardic
    You can name the rune Bardic

    Bardic has to be the last word...

    Focus on what you can do, not what you can't.

    @Lord_Frodo if that's it, it's pretty sophomoric.   ;)   Even actual sophomores would role their eyes. At a guess, EA supplies a problematic word filter to all its subsidiaries, and they are just expected to use it no matter how ludicrous some of its forbidden words may be.

    Maybe whoever wrote this filter is afraid someone will start a word beginning with k after bardic,  or some other suggestive word that might follow it.  The thing is, no matter how many cases you try to anticipate, someone will find a way to be suggestive anyway.

    Actually you can name a Rune, Dick Tracy.  Or substitute almost any work for Tracy. (all the ones I tried worked and I can not write them here.)

    You can not name a Rune Dic k Tracy.   I do not know why.

    Dic can not be followed with a space and a letter.  That is the part of Bardic that is causing the inappropriate snag.

    If you must use your format you can name the Rune. Vesper Bardick Guild.

    Well they do on pets.  You can not name a pet Dick Tracy. So the filters are not the same for everything.

    I was once able to page a gm and ask him to correct the guild name, he was happy to change it [so long as it wasnt actually inappropriate]
