Can the official recognized name of Jelbe be made Jelbe (rather than Jelbe listed as an "alt") as opposed to Jelbania? I'm fine with Jelbania remaining an alt name, but would like Jelbe recognized as the default name.
As support for this I offer the following:
- Jelbe was used as the nation name as early as 2009 (and even earlier, we just don't have the Takeforum anymore): viewtopic.php?p=11647#p11647
- As early as 2020 I requested the same thing - Jelbe should be primary name, Jelbania should be alt. Jamescfm opted at the time to do the inverse, and I did not press it, but I want to press it now: viewtopic.php?p=160389#p160389
- I have been using Jelbe in RP exclusively since 2020, and other major players in the region have been using it since 2020/2021 as well:
- Zanz: viewtopic.php?f=17&t=2490&p=160401&hilit=jelbe#p160401
- Kubrick: viewtopic.php?f=17&t=1605&p=160499&hilit=jelbe#p160499
- Mr.God/Rogue: viewtopic.php?f=17&t=4398&p=163089&hilit=jelbe#p163089
- Reddy: viewtopic.php?f=17&t=2490&p=168417&hilit=jelbe#p168417
- Others: viewtopic.php?f=17&t=7533&p=161052&hilit=jelbe#p161052 viewtopic.php?f=17&t=8142&p=161388&hilit=jelbe#p161388 viewtopic.php?f=17&t=7351&p=163026&hilit=jelbe#p163026
- The last IC use of "Jelbania" by a major historical player in Jelbe was in late 2021 (Reddy). Since then all uses have been administrative OOC posts or other RPers who presumably only used Jelbania because that's what the Nation Renaming Guidelines list as the first option viewtopic.php?f=17&t=2490&p=176314&hilit=jelbania#p176314
- This is important because "Jelbania" (and more importantly "Jelbanian"), historically, has been used by users explicitly to attempt to erase the Jelbék language and culture that I and others have spent significant time curating and defending. Given that very recently Jelbe was once again haphazardly edited, I'd like to take the step we didn't take in 2020 and attempt to distance things further from that history.
Thanks, let me know if you have questions or feedback.
