Is it too late to change the name for Master Verga?

Is it too late to change the name for Master Verga?

from Elemental Forums

Just started the BETA a few days ago, super psyched. Here is my "question" or suggestion:

I mean in terms of the development cycle and external stuff (i.e. does he show up in the book). In pretty much every spanish speaking country it is one of the most popular slang words for penis. Even the diccionary from the Royal Academy of the Spanish Language (the most respected in the world) puts that definition as #1

verga1.

(Del lat. virga).

 

1. f. pene.

2. f. Arco de acero de la ballesta.

3. f. vara (‖ palo largo y delgado).

4. f. Tira de plomo con ranuras en los cantos, que sirve para asegurar los vidrios de las ventanas.

5. f. Mar. Percha labrada convenientemente, a la cual se asegura el grátil de una vela.

6. f. Ven. vergajo.

7. f. ant. vara (‖ rama delgada).

~ seca.

1. f. Mar. La mayor del palo mesana, que no lleva vela.

~ toledana.

1. f. Medida antigua equivalente a dos codos.

verga.

1. interj. vulg. El Salv. y Ven. U. para expresar sorpresa, protesta, disgusto o rechazo.

~s en alto.

1. loc. adv. Mar. Denota que la embarcación está pronta y expedita para navegar.

 

In all honesty if you guys end up leaving it in I'm not going to be offended nor will anyone I know. We are going to get a huge kick out of it though, and in that case it would be best that you are aware of the joke ahead of time.

stardock have never taken immersion in their games, or themselves, very seriously. i doubt this will be any different. they'll probably jump on it if they do anything at all. remember the snathi? *sigh*

Elemental is supposed to be serious (with some minor hints of humouor). If Verga's name is actually a joke, seems weird. *shrug*

I don't see why everybody's making such a fuss. Everybody will use Lady Procipine as their sovereign anyways. And we all know the popular slang meaning of "Procipine"...

Did you see your uncle Jack, off?

 

vs. swaping one capitol letter for lowercase and dropping a comma.

I doubt that there ever was any joke behind the name... I also do not suggest we start now removing terms that may or may not have alternate meanings in slang or other languages..

We do? I've never heard that as a slang word before, and one of the first hits in google for it is this thread. :P

Can't be. Cari's posted here, and everybody knows there's no girls on the Internet.

Your logic is undeniable. And here I got excited..

Well the game is almost out... who else is looking forward to laying seige to their foes with Warlord Verga?

I might have to create a campaign that is entirely themed around spanish cursewords.

Who here plans to play with Verga?

Now I want to create a Channeler named "Captain Hammer". (Dr. Horrible fans should get the joke)!

I can't imagine how any of this made it past the ESRB.

I guess in the final release he is not Warlord or Master... just Verga. Like Madona or Prince. Just you know... phallic.
