    He was obviously joking though! X3

    Also.. Space Nazis? Apparently he thinks the realm has something to do with the new Wolfenstein game. :p

    Are we going to get ideological now?

    If that's the case, I'll just tell you that anarchism has been exposed as a bankrupt ideology for centuries now. Anarchism is the jungle, and I prefer to not live in a jungle, thank you very much.

    Yes, and I am sure you think that means agreeing with every link that everyone puts before my eyes.

    No. It means actually being willing to think about something without immediately rejecting it.;)

    I have been thinking about it for a decade now. And my teachers for centuries. And we have rejected it. And we have entire books and essays and aphorisms in which we have explained in detail why.

    So ANYway, we don't have to get TOO ideological to solve the problem of this thread.

    The question, that only Uber can answer is: Is it okay to make clans with names from historical empires? If it's not, which empires is it okay to use and which not? If the Third Reich is not allowed, how about empires with comparable killcounts and a history of nuking civilian populations for the hell of it?

    That is the question that is the subject of this thread.

    Umm, so long as people behave, and don't be abusive, then can name themselves any silly thing they want.

    Except the Dutch, that's over the line.

    Space Nazis you say? This is a real film, believe it or not.

    And let's not forget the Space Nazis that featured in the original Star Trek, in perhaps the laziest attempt at social allegory they've ever made.

    Jesus that movie was terrible.

    And let's not forget that one Star Trek: Enterprise episode where...actually it's best not to think about that one.

    Fourth Reich is a cool name for a clan. I'd use that if I was German.

    So before anybody burns their fingers in saying thoughtless things, let's better lock this.
    Uber now knows of this and will be able to act accordingly.
