i was just forced to delete these names by some evil guide on a powertrip named essidus . does anyone know what the flaming hell is wrong with the names, anastytrol, and completelosr? i checked the naming policies after the guide warned me without so much as telling me something was wrong with the second name, and i can't find anything wrong with them. can anyone else find anything wrong with them?

You're an idiot, and should probably leave now.

They're both phrases.

Although both are strangely apropos . . . .

Yeah, but you're a goody-goody Paladin and can't tell it like it is.

It is far easier to seek repentance than to angrily request someone to cover up your mistakes.

Just a humble bit of wisdom.

Taken from the online naming policy

11. Names that contain sentences (Ikillorcs), phrases (Ontop), or two or more words that do not form descriptive compound words (Petcarbob, Diediedie and Tablechair). Descriptive compound words are allowed in first names and are encouraged in surnames (e.g. Treehugger, Giantslayer). Descriptive compound words (each separate part of the word and the entire word) must otherwise adhere to all other naming rules.

I believe Anastytrol (A Nasty Troll) and completelosr (Complete Loser) fall in the category of sentences and phrases as dictated above. You just happened to get caught.

Anyway ... I really dislike names like that in a fantasy game.

Damn ... even the one hajillion bards out there with (sur-)names like 'Tunesinger', 'Tonedef', 'Melody' or 'Muzick' cause me to runaway.

Or who can forget stupid chanter (sur-)names like 'Crackdealer', 'Mezzmasta' or 'Cracklord'?

Boy ... I HATE those!


But the worst are names like 'Imaloser', 'Isleepwithyourmom' or 'Usuk'.

GRRRRRR!

My guild had this druid by the name of Poonuggets

I mentioned to him several times to avoid GMs at all costs

He didn't understand why

I told him his name was offensive and WOULD get changed

He thought I was lying, the name isn't offensive

Whatever

So about 5 days go by, and suddenly someone by the name of 'Nuggets' starts swearing on the guildchat

"Let me guess, that's you poonuggets? GM saw you?"
"#&*$&#@& changed my name, that is stupid!"

I figured he had learned his lesson

He hit level 20, and was so happy that ofpoon got through the namefilter for his surname

And 3 days later a GM noticed... and not just any GM, but the exact same one that caught him the first time

When his 1 week suspension was up we all laughed a mighty streak at him

He quit EQ shortly after, heh

I've got a cool bard name

Amaera Adaggio Her middle name's Chante, so a rough translation is Beautiful Song (For the Elven) Sung Slowly.

And I don't really mind Melody, or Rhapsody, because those are actual names IRL. The others would drive me nuts, though.

(Yes, I know it's adagio, but it looks better with two G's so I spelled it with two G's :P)

I tend to get really hideously unoriginal with my naming picks (Clamor, Saffron, Kyrie), but I know where to call the line.

That crossed the line.

My wood elf bard's name is "Karmic". I was going to make her full name "Karmic Threnody" (Threnody = song of mourning, more or less).

My wood elf druid's name is "Carnavori". Full name was going to be "Carnavori Vugarious", but only after I got wolfform.

Neither of these characters will ever see lvl 20 though. So, the full names will never be seen on Povar.

Actually it's 3NF.

But it's not the database in my case, my sig pics are done seperate from the rest of the sig pic system.
