Overzealous namechange monkey

[Kalist19]

Holy christ, Vanisse. Looks like you need to get laid. Whatever happened to the 'namechange' room that, instead of wasting someone's time making a char, lets them just change their name?

A Room of Training
Weapons and scrolls meant for study rather than combat lie around this
chamber of training. It has been decorated with only the bare essentials
necessary for tutoring new adventurers in the ways of might, wit, endurance,
agility and acuteness of mind. This is one of the most understated rooms in
the Tower, for a visit here is vital to all new adventurers.

A trainer stands here, showing off his attributes.
The stone giant warrior says 'Training regularly is a good idea.'

Name was Presbeterian, didn't realize it actually meant something. Not like the name was Roflcopter or Gotsexdotcom.

[Erlwith]

Yeah well, can I tell you a story?


Had a char named Merihim (on second thought could have been Mirihem, all the same still a completely role-play founded and fairly unique name).



Ronus then tells me that I have to change it because it sounds too much like "marry him" ..... ...... ....

Now where I'd like to begin on a profanity filled rant on Ronus' intelligence or lack thereof I do respect the immortal population as a whole so I'll bite my tongue.

However, I will say Ronus sounds like "Bonus" in fact it is "bonus" with an R, he needs to change it now.

[_Clifton_]

Being a vet, I once got denied and newbie banned for badnames... shrug, looks like you got off easy.

[Vanisse]

i love you too

[Erlwith]

I don't understand how people go their whole lives (even if you're not dead yet) and not know what Presbyterian means, though.

[Vhrael]

[Kalist19]

I don't actually know a lot. I just fake it.

[kammkala6]

Actually Vhrael until you just sayd it sounded like a division of the christian church the name sayd very little to me. Kinda sounded familiar from somewhere but I was not sure from where. Not everyone cares for christianity or its different divisions. And Merihim seems a lot less like marry him than Ronus like Bonus.

We've told the name enforcement Immortals that they don't have to rename difficult people - they can just throw them into hell. So if you're a guy with a site history picking a dumb name, you can probably look forward to rerolling. We expect vets to be on the same page as us when it comes to the game rules.

[thk]

gotta agree with kalist here. ive been transed twice now by vanisse for having names that bore some semblance to obscure german/russian words. wtf.

[Davairus]

This isnt an obscure russian/german word. Its Kalist picking a cheese name again, which we Imms consider to be showing contempt for the game rules. It isn't the first time Kalist has made a thread somewhere to complain about Imms either, and I don't see anyone else continously making them. Can anyone else see where this is going?

[Vanisse]

[Erlwith]

I still would like Ronus to be forced into a name change like I was for "Marryhim".

[Xerties]

Why is everyone getting their panties in a bunch about this? So you had to change your name, big deal.

[Vhrael]

The thing I don't understand is that it's not even a newb that's complaining... it's a veteran player.

[Lydana]

It's real easy....

You think of a cool name, it sounds awesome.... but you don't know if its a real word or not because you aren't a walking dictionary...Before you start rolling follow these simple steps:

Go to www.google.com (or your prefered search engine)

Search for the name you picked

If you get a suggestion for a mispelled word that is pretty similar to what you wanted, or if you find tons of webpages with the name you wanted, you should probably change it.

I sometimes use a name generator for ideas and even a lot of those names are pretty common on the internet (company names, books, etc). Try to find something original.. it makes you look cooler and smarter if your name isn't a copy of something well known.

For example--this is what comes up when you search for Presbeterian:

Did you mean: Presbyterian

With that, only a retard wouldn't get it.... so you shouldn't have any excuse for bad names, especially as an experienced player.

I am a bit curious what race/class combo Kalist's "Presbeterian" was. If it was a Knight wanna-be/goodie there should be no mercy.

[Erlwith]

Because google has such an increidbly large information base it is not a useful tool for varifying names. A better bet would be www.dictionary.com.
