Description

The file for female reptilian names contains "Lifts" and "Tail", meaning "Lifts-Tail" can be generated randomly. People have been bwoinked for similar names before, so this name probably shouldn't be possible.

Reproduction N/A

Screenshots N/A

Additional context This name can be seen as a Rule 4 violation, and has previously been interpreted as such.

I see three potential ways to handle this

Just removing it seems simple. I think the game giving you a name that's not compliant with the rules is basically just baiting players into being bwoinked and thus not the option that should be chosen.

  • Declare that players are ultimately responsible for making sure randomly generated names are rule-compliant

Can't rely on (new) players knowing the specifics of rules and why they're bad.

A rejected combinations list is likely the way to go. Not that this is a huge priority.
