Thank you team. I am trying to get rid of the Goodie FAMILY name as well.

I have three characters. Two knights and an adventurer. Getting started is a real chore. Do you have any pointers. I would really like a mentor that could help me to understand the rudiments of the game.
The wiki is great but!!
 I would very much like to get more involved in the game and role play.

Thanks again.

soon to be  Gideon Lannister

Bob,
First of all, you seem to be trying to name each of your characters with a first and last name, as if they were not all part of the same family. Each player in BattleMaster plays one family, and all our characters are members of that family. For instance, my characters are named Liara, Baranion, and Duris, and my family's name is Anaris. Thus, my characters' full names are Liara Anaris, Baranion Anaris, and Duris Anaris. Given the names you have requested, you will have characters will three names—for instance, Gideon Lannister La Turn. While it's not strictly against the rules, it is very, very strongly discouraged to attempt to claim that your characters are not all part of the same family. Thus, I would strongly advise you to pick a last name for all of your characters and stick with it, rather than trying to have each of them have his or her own last name.

Second of all, you have once again requested a family name that is in all caps. This is completely unacceptable for Dwilight, and very strongly discouraged in general—to the point where no name change request in all caps would ever be accepted. If you really want your characters to all have the family name "La Turn", that is acceptable, if a little odd—your original request of "Goodie" would actually be better, though "Goode" would be better still—but you simply must type it with the proper case.

I will delete your current requests from the system immediately so that you can make new requests again right away.
