[QUOTE="Wednesday Boy, post: 5630055, member: 53678"] My friend was running an Alternity game for our group and he let us decide what we should name our starship. Immediately I came to the natural conclusion that we should name it the "Rusty Slut". To me it was an aptly derogatory name for our junker and it didn't make me take the game less seriously. The rest of the players liked it too but the GM stamped it with a veto because he wanted it to have a noble, valorous name. We tabled naming the ship until the next session and in the down time since I was studying intro Russian, I translated "Rusty Slut" (as best I could) into Russian. I made up a tale that the translated name was a early Russian mythological warrior goddess who represented honor and valor and such, then talked to the players privately to see if they'd want to play along. Everyone was enthusiastically on board so at the next session I told the GM the new suggested name and origin, he ate it up, and everyone else played along that they liked the name too. It wasn't until the end of the campaign that we revealed the real translation to the GM, so throughout the game everyone won: we had our Rusty Slut and the GM had his "goddess"! [/QUOTE]
