We might as well try to figure out what we know in general terms if not the specifics. I was assigned a name but google yielded nothing of note, and while I'm guessing that is the case for everyone, can I get confirmation real quick? Basically three questions, and the following replies only please:
Yes, No, Not Sure, Rather Not Say
1) I was assigned a character name
2) The name appears to have significance (e.g. is a character from a setting, google translator says it means 'Healer of Hurts' and I'm a doc, etc)
3) My Role Message indicates that this is not a totally random setting and names. (General area of flavor is still "No", e.g. "You must assist the baron in finding the evil doers and putting them to the sword" indicates medieval European fantasy, and is a "No", "Help Frodo get the ring to Mordor" indicates a specific setting and is a "Yes" )
... and don't use "Not sure" if you think the answer is probably yes or no, we're not going to lynch someone because it turns out your character name was from some particularly obscure source. We'll lynch you if you say no and your name was Bruce Wayne of Gotham, and probably roll our eyes if it was Rand Al'Thor of Emond's Field. Just google it, if it comes up with a bunch of hits for the same fictional character, then answer is 'yes' even if it turns out later it wasn't. And as we have a new player, method would be to reply to this message, preferably with your answers in the subject, and if some of the vets could expedite replies so the newer players know this is routine and not likely a massive trap by the player everyone just got done reminding everyone else is a manipulative and tricksome SOB, it would be appreciated. Though of course this is obviously a trap.
