There is your problem. Sadly, most people don't care.
You are Agonar's Best Friend Raydell D'Rougus, a Human Barbarian.
> ask agonar about best friend
Agonar glares at you, "I do not have time for idle chatter or nonsense. Make sense or begone!"
>You say, "Somethin' wrong here..."
The notion that "boxies" and "swampies" and such are IC slang seems strange to me. It's adorable and all, but I don't think I've ever met a real live human being who would even consider using baby-talk to discuss all manner of life-threatening creatures, objects, and situations.
I know I can't stop it, but it drives me nuts. "Puff" is another one. You know what? It doesn't sound even remotely like the word "empath"! Something must be done. :)
As far as names, so that I'm on-topic... I tried to choose "Uhura" and they told me I couldn't have it, and then within 15 minutes or so of rerolling so I could pick a new name, I swear I ran across about seven people whose names were words like "Picklesticks" and "Hoorayforme" or similarly asinine garbage. Geez, at least "Uhura" is a real name. And I totally didn't even think of Star Trek until they told me I couldn't have it...
P.S. "Boxies" isn't even a good nickname! It's longer than the real word! Argh.

They're IC because they were developed and used in game (actually at least some probably come from the days of GS3). I'll agree that at least some of the IC slang is annoying, but it's much easier for me to swallow that someone saying to their Prydaen friend, "Fo' shizzy my Prizzy."
