Before Gallipoli, it was discussed that we should come up with aliases to call each other, and have backstories to speak of while there was downtime in the war. At the time, we knew the Regency was there, but they wouldn't be so visible. It was enough to not be asked too much by the natives of the time, and allowed us the conditions we needed to blend in as a unit of reinforcements that was beached at the wrong location.

The situation may be different here, but I'd suggest we come up with different aliases from before, considering we'll be facing the Regency out in the open. Using your actual name isn't suggested- it could cause problems and endanger the rest of this cell if you do so. Try to pick something you'll remember easily enough.

Feel free to suggest names and ideas for yourselves, or help others. The BCE has a list of them you can pick from. The sooner we can compile a list, the easier it will make it for all of us to recall while in the middle of the mission.

[Boy, talking like this is a reminder of speaking with soldiers before battles. That was a long time ago, and he's getting back into the hang of it. Also, guess who's bad at suggesting names? THIS GUY. Thankfully, the BCE has a posh name generator that can be found here.]

Do try to refrain from acting so foolishly on the mission. We're to venture into hostile territory soon enough; we should be doing so as a cohesive unit, not one with such clear fissures in it. It's best we have the proper names to refer to each other as, no matter what the Regency may know of our true identities.

And no matter how stupid you perceive such aliases to be.

[ The level of maturity she's seen thus far is astounding... ]

If, however, you would prefer to be wiped from existence, walk about with your true name for them to overhear. You'll only have yourself to blame.

Thank you.

[dorzalta]

If this is how they're to behave, we're in far more danger than we believed for this mission.

[gerechtigkeit]

I've yet to see people be incredibly incompetent about their names while actually on the mission, but there was the same amount of complaining the last time this was brought up.

[dorzalta]

[ Wtf is tldr??? ]

I do not believe the Common Tongue is too far advanced for you, no matter how much your words have proven otherwise thus far.

[dorzalta]

Be sure to use your words when you address me.

[whitehair]

those were words
sorry for being too common for you to understand

@PANTSONFIRE

[jailbirds]

seriously lol
isn't it obvious that the point of a fake name is so they don't know your bloodline

[dorzalta]

[ 'Lol?' More words she doesn't understand. This is why she avoids such huge discussions on the net. ]

Yes. There's no reason to flaunt it when we've been given strict orders not to.

[jailbirds]

these guys are clearly dumbasses that don't want to live, though
it'd be cruel to take that away from them if they have a death wish

[millimeter]

:(

[I'm sorry. That's...that's literally all he sends.]

omg yes
you've been brushing up on your emoji lore!!

If you want to stop the problem, engage them directly. People often take up different ways to deal with stress, so give them another option.

[ Deep down, he unconsciously thinks that they might as well just die anyway. Why would he try to actively dissuade them one-on-one? ]

However, those pointing out first that the list should be updated if they want us to successfully blend in isn't a pointless criticism.

[dorzalta]

Unlike the other missions where blending in was essential, it's known that we are from COST. The Day-Ones know it, as do the Regency. Lest you intend to adopt a name based upon their language, we will never truly blend in with whatever the name is chosen.

We're humans. They're another race entirely, one who embraces strength. Bickering would only prove that we're more useful as a meal versus someone to view as an ally.

[reillumination]

Don't you think I already know that? You're not the only one with the information.

[ Don't talk to him like he's five, even if he's a baby next to most of you. ]

It's a consideration. We've already been on more than one mission, haven't we? I'm thinking further ahead. If you don't want people to pointlessly argue, then don't bother scolding everyone. You're just adding more fuel to it. Once people have something in their heads, they'll run with it.

[ Mass hysteria? Memes? Yes. ] Talk to them individually. There's not so many of us that you couldn't manage it.

@GOTTAGUN

[widow_of_the_crag]

Have others been refusing to create aliases?

[dorzalta]

They're behaving like children, more like it.

[ No doubt they'll choose a name at some point, lest they're truly stupid. ]

[crownless]

[ :T ]

Fine, geez
I'm already working on picking the stupid name

[dorzalta]

[ SMIRKIN LIKE A JERK. ]

Do share once you've decided.

@MODERATUS

[bloodings]

are you always so damn pretentious? speak like a normal person.

[ ... says the medieval knight.

Dany probably knows her well enough now to know she's just being bullish for no reason. ]

[dorzalta]

[ Oh, she knows. And she can't roll her eyes any harder. ]

At least I don't screech like a child. I'm surprised you're not doing so now.

[ Just gonna poke the bear. ]
