:  This name sucks. Gangbanger is a slang term. Please come up with a better name. On a related note, I would be opposed to names such as grunt or jarhead for fighter class variants. [[Codex:Review]] --[[User:Urban Blom (Hastur)|Urban Blom]]
 
:: Jag hålller med Urbans anmärkning på namnet; "gangbang" är nämligen slang för bl.a. "gruppvåldtäkt" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gang_bang ). Funkar det inte med bara "ganger"? -- [[User:Mats Öhrman (Hastur)|Mats Öhrman]]
 
::: Why are slang terms inappropriate for class variants? This one exists in a subculture; using language reminiscent of such subcultures does not seem like a bad thing to me. I can see why the sexual connotations would be bad, however, though I have definitely seen the word Gang Banger used with out any sexual connotations. See http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=gang+banger -- [[User:Starfox (Hastur)|Starfox]]
 
::::  I consider slang terms inappropriate for game terms because they are not part of a standard vocabulary. Like Mats pointed out, slang terms may have several interpretations, and we may get them wrong since English is not our native language. Using non-slang terms for class names may be boring, but it also means less ambiguity which can only be a good thing for game rules. Ganger could be an acceptable compromise. While the class may fit Marv, he is certainly not a gang member, so the name is not perfect. If there is an Urban Ranger (boring but official name), why not use the equally boring name Urban Barbarian? --[[User:Urban Blom (Hastur)|Urban Blom]]
