Why is it...?

[Krusshyk]

The vast majority of jedi have the dumbest names ever?

Today is broad sweeping generalization day, so here I go again on my own...

What the F***.

XMAN? Despite the fact that I sell him crystals from time to time, what is up with this for a name? Not only is it copyright infringement to the core (as I am sure the name is a registered trademark), its stupid to boot!

Was your capslock key broken, moron?

You know what? I must apologize, it isn't just jedi that are guilty of name crappery. Your average players do this from time to time, too. Anyone play the game Knights of the Old Republic? These names are some of the most copied. As if people think that they can sneak in the name "Slanderous Cordo" in place of "Canderous Ordo" and no one will notice? It's like some asshole running around with the name Bo'aa F'et...way to go Jackass, really original there. Your masterful placement of the apostrophe is almost enough to make me think your brain is capable of independent thought...but only almost, so piss off. What do people think when they pop the name "Chu' bok'a" into the name box?

"Oh my GOD! That person is an original rebel! He found a way around the name filter that prevented him from looking like an idiot! I am sure there are peasants rejoicing somewhere!"

Asshole.

There should be a function that lets you report fools like this to me. And I should get to change their name and emote myself putting a boot in their ass. Amateurs.

I HATE CHILDREN.

[MrDooo]

Gooood. Use your aggressive feelings, boy! Let the hate flow through you.

[TramelRaggs]

See my rant on the Discussion thread about jedi and their names. You will see that I am with you in this.

The worst part is now that mains are becoming jedi, powergamers with crap names (like de'mon savage, for instance) are becoming jedi.

[Krusshyk]

Yeah, I suppose this is a bit of a "darkside" rant. Doesn't make it any less true though. People are lame. And uncreative. Granted, my last name isn't original, it is the name of a deadly bloodborne disease. But how many of you knew that prior to me mentioning it? And I did that on purpose because it is ironic. You can't get rid of me, no matter how hard you try. Just like Chagas.

I'll tell you this much, you don't see people running around with the name "Rubella" or "German Measels".

Or a character named SARS? It just doesn't happen.

[MrDooo]

I'm rolling SARS up tonight when I get home.

[Keer]

Goofy names are just the price paid for playing with kids of all ages. It does take away from the cool factor, but there's no way around the fact that many subscribers are pre-teens and young teens. It's hard but you have to let it roll off of you.

[Krusshyk]

I refuse. I want to start an online petition to SOE to verify that these kids have their parents permission to be playing (in writing) submitted to SOE or their account gets canned and that game cards are only sold to people 18 or older. Who is with me? I know I am.

[Isleh]

Or a wookiee named "Harri Ballz"?

One of the reasons I have player names off.

My official response?

/report

It's offensive. Ok, not to me...but I would claim it as such and the name would be modded. THAT would make me feel better. Then I would email him and tell him that I reported him and I would continue to do so until a CSR changed his name. Just so he would know I did it. I would also sign every email

Love,

I fully agree and when these name bitters cross my path I make it a point to ridicule and demeen them to the fullest exstent. I was one in the Mos Eisley med center and tiped a doc 5k for wound heals he thhanked me and I siad I pay my doctors well (Jerrel has a great deal or respect for healers). Upon seeing this some punk kid named Boda Feta started to heal me askin for a tip I layed on him that I dont reconize unoriginal little wana-bes who have no business in the game.

The other day someone was trying to rp with me... What did I do? I laughed in their face. They were sent to me as part of a larger RP that I am participating in.. But there name was Wippe Butte.

Sorry, call it a shortcoming or tell me i'm an elitist, I won't rp with these guys much less power game with them.

Oh, I don't see him around anymore. Guess they got reported or quit. Don't care. I have heard of worse... alot worse. I mean, I laughed at the name and shrugged it off.

Regarding Wippe Butte Jabe, It would be nice if someone could go to a CSR and say, "It was funny at the time, 2 years ago, but my name sucks. Can I change it to... "

OMG yes..both Isleh and I can vouch for Jabe on this one. We were there. Id give the guy a B for effort of trying to roleplay, but an F on the crativity of his name

[Seret Sajet]

Bad names are everwhere. We know, we recorded a lot of them.

I once saw an all-green wookiee (maybe it was the light he was in) with the name "Chronic." I mean sure, you like weed, good for you but can't you at least make it a little less obvious?

[Skarr]

ok I'm getting scared now...

now deltar and I are alike in that we report stupid names all the time
