Do you have many medieval finnish names for häme?

**Beiss** · March 09, 2008, 05:03 AM

I think we're set...

Also, kudos for daring to use that avatar.

There should be no "daring" to use that avatar.... unfortunately there is

But for using it

When we get preview from Häme?

**mocker** · March 09, 2008, 11:56 AM

Who knows. We'll hopefully start on Häme soon. We should get on it as soon as the main norse factions are done, but the saxon factions might hold a higher priority.

Yes, for the males, anyway. Not as many for the females.

Some of the names I've gathered may seem slightly odd to a modern Finnish-speaker, though. Two examples: Ilmalempi, which means "air love", and Kotarikko, which stands for "capsule damage".

Nothing wrong with that avatar actually, it has nothing to do with National Socialism or Nazi Germany; many countries had the Hakenkreuz long before Adolf Hitler used it. It's an ancient symbol that goes back thousands of years, the ignorant liberals that cry about it simply lack any historical knowledge and thus associate it with "Nazis". Morons.

That's what I meant. He dares to use it despite running the risk of being accused of being a nazi by those ignorant people you mentioned. I actually think it's a pretty cool looking symbol, and that it's a shame how the Nazis destroyed it. I'm glad to see it out in the open like this, but on most forums, anyone using that symbol would be banned without a chance to explain that it's not a swaztika.

One guy said that i would be kicked out from forums if i don't change my avatar.

**Beiss** · March 11, 2008, 08:42 AM

See? =) A moderator, or just a random forumer?

**Nordmann** · March 11, 2008, 09:58 AM

Well if it's a mod, then I'd ask him to read some history books on the subject, preferably those that go further back than 60 years! If he really is that ignorant, he really shouldn't hold such a position, in my opinion at least.

**mocker** · March 11, 2008, 12:27 PM

The mods don't make the laws, they simply carry them out.

**HansDuet** · March 11, 2008, 12:32 PM

Swastica is a common symbol. Thanks to Adolf Hitler it is now hunted by these ignorant people.
Nordmann, watch who you call moron... i know perfectly well what is that symbol.
Rusina don't change it. It is not a nazi symbol so there is no need to change it.

I don't see why I should watch myself to be honest, since we appear to be in agreement that said persons are ignorant; I'm simply stating a known fact. After all, I'm sure the powers to be wouldn't take too kindly to a forum member being banned on account of the banner's ignorance. Anyway, enough said.
