Denied Add Greek Alphabet to the MTF and CI names.

[Cool]

What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
This suggestion aims to add the Greek Alphabet letters to the Mobile Task Force and Chaos Insurgency names. Eg. MTF Ω-1 “Laws Left Hand”.

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
I am not sure if this suggestion has been posted before. But I do feel it is a unique idea.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
1. Aesthetics: I believe that adding the Greek Alphabet will make it look more aesthetically appealing rather than normal English letters.
2. It also makes sense because I do recall in the Wiki that it used the Greek Alphabet rather than normal English letters. It makes it (sorta) more accurate to the wiki.

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
A big negative is confusion. Some people may not know the Greek Alphabet that much and it could cause some confusion. Although I believe that the MTF and CI uniforms for each separate group should make them stand out from the crowd.

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
I believe it should be accepted because it could add some uniqueness to the names in-game because everything is normal English letters and MTF and CI should stand out more. (Even in their names)


(Sorry if this suggestion isn’t good, I am not used to writing things like this.)

i feel like this would screw with certain staff commands - there's some cases in which a job needs to be manually set and if a job name includes special characters, it'll be harder to set them to that job where needed

It'd be cool but, other than most people not being literate in the Greek alphabet, it's an issue for staff like Emilia mentioned

ive not a clue how the job system works, but i dont think that job name = command name

i think you can set it to make it say Ω-1 in chat and name, but OMEGA-1 as the jobset command

then again, i aint a dev

if this is purely cosmetic and related to makes just the titles yes

you could also totally do the same but for CI ranks as well!

i think this is also true? i guess you can set the name as it appears in the tab/f4 menu whereas the job you set via staff commands is a separate name. very funky stuff

MTF α-1 "Red Right Hand"
also the job setting thing won't really conflict with this, as you only need Red Right Hand - (Job Name) or the same for O-1

There are two separate "names" for a job - the actual job name (i.e. what appears in the F4 menu for that job), and the job/rank title, which appears before your name, e.g. "MTF A-1 SPC 'Jonkler'". The job name is used for commands, while the job/rank title is just what appears before your name.
