Brings back UPP Random Names for the UPP Survs. #5414
Conversation
I should note that the reason this was implemented was that the previous head maintainer mandated the change, stating that they believed a player should not have their choice of name taken away from them for a survivor roll. Their preferred change would be if the game offered the player the ability to selecte a non-USCM name for these kinds of roles instead. |
"The one thing I guess I can see is that you know if your fellow survivors are bald or not, but that's not really a reason that should be taken into account, realistically. Apart from that I really don't see a positive in having your character name be the UPP Survivors name, unless you RP as a UPP remnant or deserter." |
I would be inclined to agree, if not for the completely different faction and the completely different way the UPP is supposed to act from the USCM. Not the mention if you know or hang out with some people and are a UPP surv, they'll talk to you like you are best buds, even though your factions are in a cold war and rarely have fraternization amongst eachother. |

This PR has been inactive for long enough to be automatically marked as stale. This means it is at risk of being auto closed in ~ 7 days, please address any outstanding review items and ensure your PR is finished, if these are all true and you are auto-staled anyway, you need to actively ask maintainers if your PR will be merged. Once you have done any of the previous actions then you should request a maintainer remove the stale label on your PR, to reset the stale timer. If you feel no maintainer will respond in that time, you may wish to close this PR youself, while you seek maintainer comment, as you will then be able to reopen the PR yourself |
About the pull request
Title.
Explain why it's good for the game
I got inspiration from last round's Trijent Dam's UPP Insert, where I decided to make this PR because UPP with English names is not roleplay friendly or calling someone "Comrade Jeff" or "Master Serzhant Jack" make sense especially because the UPP is meant to disassociate you with your previous character and turn you into a different faction who completely play differently and act differently.
The one thing I guess I can see is that you know if your fellow survivors are bald or not, but that's not really a reason that should be taken into account, realistically. Apart from that I really don't see a positive in having your character name be the UPP Survivors name, unless you RP as a UPP remnant or deserter.
This goes for especially flavor texts that are meant for Marines or for Survs, like "USCM's Greatest Hero" is a flavor text I saw one time on a UPP Survivor, doesn't really make sense does it?
