Donation reward idea
« on: April 24, 2009, 11:55:08 pm »
Assign donators names to random humans in the game (or whatever they want to be named as, provided it fits within the lore. No names such as "Rape Killstorm"). Perhaps only pick people that are still alive when world gen ends. But the general idea however you want to implement it is that even though it's likely you will never run into yourself or anyone else for that matter, it would be nifty to think that somewhere, at some point in time, "you" were present and did something in the history of the world (just as how popular it is for people to have dwarves named after them in story fortresses).

Toady's specifically said no to this, though at the moment I can't remember why.

Contradicts the Languages of the races?

Afterall even Humans don't speak English or any language we have on earth.

People will feel that they are owed a name may not donate because their name is already in the game?

Warning: These are guesses

Eh, when has there actually been an NPC with a non-randomized name?

One but he is technically not even in the game or mentioned or seen except in some small corner.

The reward of Toady continuing this fantastic project is enough.
