I was just commenting on the current result on the 1'st round of guild name voting.
For 2'nd round I will use a poll that only allows one vote, from what I can see in the poll timeline 1 person clicked the pestilent sons 8 times and another heralds of decay 10 times.

hey, where is all this voting and everything hapening?

Twas not truly bait, in the US to call someone a rat is fighting words. I had assumed the gentleman who directly stated he didn't want rat in the name feels as such because it be street lingo for snitch. I'm unsure how far the term carries internationally.

but we are nurgle... we are not ment to have a very pleasent name

Rats are commonly associated with cowardice, id rather we not be associated with that as well.

Yeah... I would accept a toad though. Or flies. or maggots, maybe even fleas.

This guy has the right idea

There are some levels you just don't want to go, and the Nurglict seem to agree. There are other carrion creatures with less hateful connotations to choose from.

Like Condors and Vultures. People fear Vultures circling over their heads. Nobody fears a rat.

Yes, ALOT of people fear rats. Especially in poor countries.
