Naming = bad?

I don't care what they say, so long as you go to their town and turn every boulder within 10 minimaps into runestones and put them by the gate.

This. Do it.

I second the motion.

also some guys came to my village last night and told me to get rid of my village claim because of its name. I told them it was none of there business what I called my village. so they just sat there for a bit yelling at me and calling me a faggot. If i left the safety of my walls, they would threaten me, follow me, and generally get in my way. makes me wish I still had rage.

I named a river "Bolt River", a small land end "Cape Danno", a lake "Snorkel Lake", and another lake "Weaver Lake", and that's it. I signed a couple of them for the hell of it. Other than the runestone, someone talked to me and two people from my village to complain about how we were wasting boulders with the runestones (when I was only making them when I saw 2 or 3 boulders right next to each other)... And that he didn't like me naming places as if I was marking my territory since other people have been in the general region longer. They also complained at us for cutting down trees near our own settlement when they're quite a ways away. This guy moved all the stones to my village, removed the small amount of pavement I had around them, and even planted grass where the pavement used to be. Is that really necessary...?
There was also a written parchment today complaining about the stones (even though they've all been moved) saying it was annoying and a waste of boulders and that I should destroy the runestones.

I just thought it might be nice to say "Hey, I'm at Bolt River." rather than "Yeah, I'm at some river... y'know, the one near the thing." and I thought it was fun to name places...

I guess I'll just have to have as little involvement as I can with the land until I can work my skills up enough to safely be nomadic... hopefully there's a place in this world that hasn't already been claimed by such control freaks.

I was boating down a river that narrowed to one or two tiles wide near the southern edge of the world. Pencildick Narrows hasn't gotten any complaints

What's your village's name?

I'm willing to be it's not even that bad.
Why do they even care?

its called "Sandbrook South, Lethe Lake" the Sandbrook South part comes from the fact that it was meant to be an outpost of the main village, and the Lethe Lake part is the name of the outpost.

I don't understand why they're so pissed. :T

lol, nice suggestions, guys. They seem generally well off and better equipped, and I dunno if they have rage or not... I just started a few days ago and don't even understand the combat system yet (couldn't even kill some ants!), so I better not act too rash... My friend was thinking we should clearcut the forests and otherwise completely deplete the resources in the area before leaving, haha. Naming places is just fun... One of the greatest parts of this game is that WE create the world, unlike just about every other MMORPG where you have absolutely no say in anything and you just grind along on the path that's been laid out for you. Getting mad at you for naming your own village? Really...

I dunno if I really wanna mess the entire land up to get back at them, though.
