It's no big secret as to how names can be edited to include special characters. What does it matter?

It doesn't matter. It's just something I noticed. And I like to see new players using proper names including special characters.

Maybe I should feel bad about having a name which is written without any special characters then.

Awesome Job Hrotha! It's really funny and I can remember the first time I hid under that bridge tu put a Jav into someone (I believe it was an Erlingar, not sure) ... will never forget your reaction !
Nice one! Those tablets must be quite funny to use.

A Raglefant? That is a kind of bridge troll? Uh ... not nice.

As for my hatred of Sweden, it is purely based on modern politics and the leftist anti-culture that seems to pervade every aspect of modern-day Sweden. I cannot in good faith stand behind a country that expects me to pay taxes to, for example, fund a project that work against democracy and free speech by making "anti-feministic" opinions illegal. I have no issue with people who want to consider themselves Swedish but to me it is simply a collection of letters in my passport because I was unfortunate enough to have been born here.

Well, our (western European) society is there where the (Western) Roman Empire was between 375 and 476 AD. And I'm kinda glad that my wife is different. And no she's not stupid, she's Archaeologist.
The situation in Germany is not different.

Because no! I've no connection to Bretons or the Bretagne. It was just an example. But I wish you good luck, however.

Women did not fight because they were too important to risk - it's not a 'rawr man more important' thing but the absolute reverse. With the high mortality rates amongst adults & children, with the high mortality rate through childbirth and the finite number of females in local areas, you could not risk a womans life on the battlefield. They were needed to create more children, needed to care for those children. At higher levels of society they were bargaining chips for alliances or as part of treatys (Lord Jim will marry Lady Joan to seal a peace treaty, for example). If a man had a wife who was a strong woman from a line of females who were known for giving birth to strong, healthy children, would they want them to trot along to the battlefield?

I completely agree with Mr. rapier17 here. But I also have to admit that I know at least one woman who played this mod. And it would be sad to drive her out...

Ahöy an welcome to Vikingr! Nice to see another Goidil-Warband!

I would disagree that ethnicity is purely cultural. While ethnicity doesn’t necessarily have a genetic aspect, it usually does. Meaning that those with whom you share a culture are usually those closest to you in blood. Of course this might be less so in border areas, and it is certainly less so in the Modern Age, with its unparallelled migrations and drastic melting pot (which I for one hate), but in general it holds.

Interesting discussion. I heavily agree with Éadríc on this topic.

From a sarcastic point of view it's a classic discrepancy in our so called modern society to blame those (native Europeans/Germanic people) who consider themselves as "Germanic" (from an ethnic/genetic point of view) as "racists", or less worse - as far right. Racism is allways bound to a kind of rating, what's often forgotten by mass media propaganda, Gender Mainstreaming Idiologists (hardcore feminism - anti male politics), Cultural Marxism, International Socialism and leftists. Human races exist, it's a scientific fact and it's not connected to any rating who's better or worse. And yes, there are people who are "more pure blooded" than others from a ethno-genetic point of view. Even in Europe of today. I don't say this is good or bad, but negiotiating the facts is a clear proof of mass media brainwash.
A nice (political) example for mass media brainwashing would be a Breton from the Bretagne singing Folk Songs about the freedom of the Bretagne. This song would only be considered as entertainment and Folklore, and NOT as a carrier of a specific political message: Bretagne for the Bretons. We want to be independent. (It's just an example, you could also speak about Tibetians or Basques.) If instead a German would sing German Folksongs from the 19th century he would considered to be right wing, and in the worst case - as racist. That's how are things going.

However, I also can understand Hrotha, who is part of a nation which has many roots.
I consider myself to be Germanic, and know beside family history even something about personal genetic markers and similar things. But that's nothing for the forums. I'm not "proud" of it in a political way, but I personally have a deep connection to my ethnicity. And yes, in some parts of my contry I'm part of a ethnic minority today. And I don't like it, which is my right as a free man.

*cuts off scalp*

VICTORY!

You guys know that horned helmets are a no-go? 

Nevertheless - welcome to Vikingr.
