Q:<\/b> Aren’t you being a bit hasty in rejecting my item?<\/p>\n
A:<\/b> Maybe! So let me go ahead and get a well-reasoned, insightful, rational second opinion from some other GMs.
\n
\n[Tvini]<\/b> “Dress Mess uniform” I’m told that this is a RL military thing. Anyone know if we have a DR tradition of “dress mess”? It’s supposedly a formal dress uniform.
\n[Eisu]<\/b> I think you should make them describe what it looks like and use that instead of ‘dress mess.’
\n[Bartlebee]<\/b> Never heard of Dress Mess. But my experience is handly recent.
\n[Quarel]<\/b> British army thing …Jacket used in the mess for formal occsions..never buttons very fancy
\n[Tvini]<\/b> I dated a Navy guy once. He never mentioned it. I’m thinkin’ “ceremonial”
\n[Quarel] <\/b>I just told ya
\n[Iocanthe]<\/b> Ceremonial or formal, mebbe.
\n[Bartlebee]<\/b> American usage is just “Dress Uniform”.
\n[Iocanthe] <\/b>Or maybe you could offer him “fancy pants”
\n[Tvini]<\/b> Yeah, but is it modern? Is it colloquial? Will people looking at it know what “a dress mess uniform jacket” is?
\n[Eisu] <\/b>I like (Iocanthe’s).
\n[Valdrik]<\/b> In AFROTC, we called it Mess Dress
\n[Bartlebee]<\/b> Sure it’s modern. Medieval armies didnt have uniforms.
\n[Ariawen]<\/b> I like Ceremonial better.
\n[Risek]<\/b> I’ve heard people call them monkey suits. See if he wants one of those. \ud83d\ude42
\n[Valdrik]<\/b> Yeah, they fought nekkid.
\n[Quarel]<\/b> Well the one I am thinking of is british from the 17th and 18th century
\n[Eisu]<\/b> Just make it a fancy schmancy ceremonial jacket.
\n[Valdrik]<\/b> Heh, someone’s throwing logs at these ruffians.
\n[Iocanthe]<\/b> I also thought that on the “campaign jacket”, it should have a button that said “Vote for Nixon”.. but that’s just me. \ud83d\ude42
\n[Meriel]<\/b> there weren’t uniform uniforms in the 16th and 17th c. either.
\n[Quarel] <\/b>British regimental uniforms yes.
\n[Iocanthe]<\/b> With the uniform buckets we left around, we’ve sorta moved away from strictly medieval, anyway. Leaves more wiggle room for other stuff.
\n[Tvini]<\/b> Can I use the word “schmancy?”
\n[Iocanthe] <\/b>If we bribe (Bartlebee), maybe he’ll make it into an Elven word. \ud83d\ude42
\n[Raellia]<\/b> sounds Gnomish
\n[Mystery GM]<\/b> No. The Gnomes can have it.
\n[Dartenian]<\/b> Speaking on behalf of the Gnomes…we don’t want it.
\n[New GM]<\/b> Make it s’manci
\n[Tasdrean]<\/b> Perhaps Shmaenciiey?
\n[Tvini]<\/b> I think I should LJ you freaks.
\n[New GM] <\/b>Weirdo, please!
\n[Iocanthe]<\/b> Nifty..
\n[Mystery GM]<\/b> Shmaenciiey would be Elothean.
\n[Mystery GM 2]<\/b> Shmaenceihy?
\n[Risek]<\/b> Need two apostrophes and at least one unpronounceable combination of letters to be Elothean.<\/p>\n
Admittedly, I’m not usually so leading, but there you have it, a second opinion from a bunch of weirdos. Thanks for playing! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
