Seriously, I know y'all just got jumped all over by a jillion people for the name of your game, but it IS your game and as a writer I know what an important thing a name can be. So if Walpurgisnacht it is, so it is. Some people may feel negatively about any Germanic overtones because of the recent mess but that's something you need to weigh with what the game itself means to you all. If having what is essentially now a vague reference to Germanic history and the World Wars is important to your game, then you may have to live with a certain amount of disapproval for it. I don't think you can make everyone happy at this point.

I think it is important to understand that a lot of people have been directly hurt not just by the name of your game, but by the way they were treated when they objected. I realize that it is 'just a game', but you can't un-ring that bell. That's my only concern with y'all sticking with something German. I hope that whatever you choose, people who were hurt get the acknowledgment they need to feel that they've recovered a little respect. I realize that you personally aren't to blame -- I can tell writing styles apart pretty easily -- but you do seem to have the misfortune of being both rational and in charge.
