@lizardsquid "Lizardsquid - *hugs* & *cuddles* (nightcore remix) HD Audio"
@lizardsquid The best one I ever came up with was for a particularly group>individual-minded dwarven society.
They referred to people by the largest group they represented, only getting more specific if there was a need to differentiate between individuals. So a typical name structure would be Species Nation City District Clan Given. If someone was the only human in the room, they'd just be called "Human."
And then you introduce membership in organisations, and things get really complicated.
@lizardsquid I know for a fact that many Indigenous Australian communities use [given name] [skin group], Inuit traditionally go by any number of (usually mononymous) names depending on context, Arabic and Ancient Roman names are a whole subject of their own.
In my own universe, in Standard Isarthakan the default order is [given name] [family name] unless the given name has a case ending appended to it (in which case it goes last), often including clan names/alt. last names where applicable.
(PM me if you want the rules - they're not quite presentable enough for a public release, yet)
my favourite game is "Mornington Nomic" - I have the only extant copy of the rules, but the basics:
1. Everyone takes turns in order
2. A turn has 2 parts:
* the player proposes a rule addition/change
then, everyone votes on whether the rule change should be adopted - if the vote goes through, it's now in the rules!
* secondly, the player makes a move on a map of the london underground.
3. A player wins if they move to mornington crescent
4. No player can move to mornington crescent
