  1. This is true but peasant is even better
     
  2. The Roman empire pre dates medieval times and they had armies with soldiers they probably used Latin word rather than English but the meaning is the same.
     
  3. Honestly a lot of people hated it and I think that the majority of the people voting for the peasant or the commoner rank are those that won't be those ranks.
     


  4. Support!!! No Support on Clan Roles!!!!

    Ok so the term is derogatory.
    Whether you think so or not anarchy the term is classed as an offensive word to some.

    Now I believe in consistency of behaviour when it comes to moderators and kaw having the power to silence and it is their rules that state we should not use derogatory remarks when referring to other players. For example.

    fruit cake
    noun
    noun: fruitcake
    1.
    a cake containing dried fruit and nuts.
    "a rich, moist fruit cake"
    2.
    informal
    an eccentric or mad person.

    To us in uk the term is as above in the USA it refers to gay people and is offensive. And kaw went on a mass silencing spree.

    So if we may not use terms that are offensive on one level. Why is it ok for the devs to? They should lead by example.
    Otherwise all the silences were inappropriate as they have just derided every player and caused offence to many also.
    Surely it's not one rule for us and another for them on harassing players?
     
  12. ^well put.
     
  13. I think warlord is a derogatory term . Why don't we vote that out next ?
     
  14. No to clansman. Suggestion: Clan Supporter / Clan Person / Clannie / KAWer / ClanSpawmer
     
  15. No to the rest of these as well...
     
  16. There could be a loyalty system in the regular clan members titles,

    Let's say; when you first join it could be "peasant".

    (not that I like it, and agree that devs are stupid morons who have no idea what life is, it's still a word none the less.)

    After an active period within the clan, your title rank changes to a better suited title, I.e "Clansman", "Warrior", "Knight", etc... And it could keep increasing.

    This would create a better sense of clan loyalty within regular members, more so than this great idea that the devs still somehow managed to screw up.
     
  17. Please the rank of soldier is very good
     
  18. How ridiculous. This kills the whole clan roles thing more me. We have been joking around about the peasant title since it was first shown. Sucks we giving into a few butthurt kids, its not a slandering name, it means its a normal lower class worker. Exactly what a bottom of the roster, roster filler person should be titled.
