Black caps has got to be the lamest name for someone's personal goon squad EVER.

Sorry, but how the fuck is it necessary to offend something they created and named themselves? Grow up, I get being offended, but you don't need to be a cunt. I thought the same about "death eaters" but I didn't write to J.K. Rowling to complain about it, don't stump people's ideas just to be an asshole, karma is a bitch like that.

Yes, I feel the same way about François 'Papa Doc' Duvalier's Tonton Macoutes.

What's your point?

Do you write to them about it and bitch? I'd wager not. That is my point. It's ridiculous.

Well, I would, but since the Tonton Macoutes no longer exist, I don't know who to complain to.

Not a valid point, really. There are times to speak and things to speak about, this was not one of them.

You've been responding to everyone on this post about how they are wrong wrong WRONG for replying.

Are you Kristallnacht's laywer? I hope they're paying you for all this time you've spent valiantly defending their reputation.

I'm glad you've been tracking my comments, because you are very intelligent and mature! I was recently promoted, by the way!!

When in doubt, resort to backhanded compliments.

Or... yanno, sarcasm!

Yes, backhanded compliments are usually a form of sarcasm. And?

Ok, so by the logical of the complaints in here:

It is bad to name something from real life
It's okay for JK Rowling to take something factual and rename it
But it's not okay for us to do that either. All right. Great point there.

Kristallnacht is a very well-known term and one that carries plenty of emotional baggage. That doesn't necessarily make it off-limits, but I'm not sure how it relates to your RPG. Do the Black Caps run about breaking the windows of muggleborn-owned shops?

I really don't mind World War II analogies, since World War II was a pivotal moment in the world's history. In Star Wars, for example, the stormtroopers are blatantly named after the Sturmabteilung (who were, in turn, named after German specialist troops in World War I.) Yet in that case, naming the Imperial Stormtroopers made sense and it didn't seem gratuitous.

If you wanted to draw World War II parallels to your RPG, there are plenty of other terms to choose from. There's another HP RPG here on IJ that's called Lightning War, which is the literal translation of blitzkreig.
