Heyo Navigators!
Fiddling around with some new feature here that i wanted to bring in for a little while, and that is an actual last/family name for James.
Again one of those things that was hindered by my lack of coding ability and time pressure at the time. So i only managed to implement one name. Now I really want to get away from Arthur just calling you "recruit" all the time, and actually go Mr. Last Name instead, as would be custom at the time.
So, what is the poll for then? Well, of course to figure out which last name James should have!
When i came up with James i didn't expect the name to actually become as prominent as it did, so i guess maybe some more care should be used for the last name this time around.
And i figured why not make it a bit of a reference to some of the people who wrote the memoirs that i used as sources for the general low-rank sailor life.
So yeh, throwing it up for a vote to you all!
(I'll throw in the book titles as well, for those that might be looking for additional reading material)
