There has been a lengthy discussion occurring on a newly founded fictional company. I was going to reply to the recruitment thread with my two cents on the topic, however, instead of defaming them more with being against their name usage. I think this discussion should move away from that thread and into a more neutral ground (hope everyone is ok with that).
My thought on the subject
While with the company system and what we know of it so far, I dont think this will be possible at all since you have to choose a historical unit during that time period. I think the general philosophy of naming a clan (these groups are not realistic enough to be labeled units) a fictional name E.g. Jester Company, will encourage more people who come from outside the realism community to create groups like the example given above. It will create a counterproductive environment within the community; creating a wide divide between those who are trying to be at the very best semi-realistic with choosing a name such as "Co. A, 2nd Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry Regiment." We shouldn't be too worried that this will be allowed though due to the established guidelines that the Company system has in place, however, something the community should very much think about. Just my two cents.
