My Last Xp

[moleman]

I have been a fan of Everquest since 2000, played on live and have played on p99 off and on for about 8 years. I enjoy the game because nothing is given to you and you must forge your way through the trials and try to come out on top, and if not on top at least with come fine steel to sell. The journey is the reward. The gear and the loot allow you to progress but for the most part that epic train or boss you downed is remembered for the reaction of the group and not what bp you had on.

I mention all of this because the other day i was toiling away in Paw trying scrape together some xp and maybe a scroll while waiting to see if i got lucky with a group showing up. A GM messages me and tells me my name (Americafirst) is a violation of the naming rules because its a location, which im not even sure is a violation, and that i needed to immediately select a new one. After a couple of messages trying to figure out if this was all necessary the GM changed my name, this deleted all my hotkeys and lagged me so hard i almost died.

Now maybe you hate the name and maybe you love it, I can tell you I got only positive feedback about it. At one point i had someone see me on someone else’s live stream and decided to log on and chat with me. Now, because this GM has a personal issue with my name, I have to live with some Bot name with no life in it and every experience i had with people is essentially wiped away. Its not about the friends list or the frequently spoken with people, its the people 10 levels later that remember you from Mistmoore or the guy who had to sow you 5 times in a row because you suck at CR's.

Changing a persons name is stripping them quite literally of their identity and steals the time invested. All of that is lost. Right now i have a petition in for review, it's 5 days in and i doubt they will even look at it for more than ten minutes before siding with their fellow employee that removed it (which the employee bragged would happen) Below is a list of the GM's that run this site and have an active name violation according to their own rules.

Call it an overreaction but all I see is hypocrisy. I have actually taken a few life lessons from this game over the last 20 years, this will be the last point of XP i earn in this game, assuming this decision is not reversed. No matter where you go in life, whether that is a digital marketplace, hangout, IRL job, or a mini golf course there will always be someone trying to exert power over you, no matter how small that power may be in the grand scheme of life, and if you allow it to go unchecked, thats exactly where it will stay. It's a lack of respect for you and the rules they don't want follow. We all know 90% of the names on the server are in violation, but who cares? We are in a peaceful world that barely anyone on Earth knows about.

Flame this post if you will, won’t matter, you are all (technically and at their discretion) one tell away from having someone strip your time away from you.

Be good to each other, and I wish you all safe (sowed) travels,
Americafirst


Not even the whole list of GM names in violation:

Menden ( the person who is to make the decision) – A town in Germany, the same violation they are accusing me of.
Rogean - Rogean Technologies
Medris (the person who flagged it) - Medris Heathcare Solutions, trademarked company in NC, USA
Aussie – an entire country of people
Sunderfury - literal item in EQ

[indiscriminate_hater]

Sorry you got caught for breaking the rules

[BlackBellamy]

Yeah there is absolutely no way you can have Americafirst as a name I mean just a brief look at the naming policy will show it. You thought you could have it because it passed the name filter, then you got used to it, and then you thought you could get away with it. Now you're all outraged because in your mind you were grandfathered in or the statue of limitations has expired and besides look at all those other people!

As far as having your name changed by the GM, all you have to do is this:

"Hi so yeah can you give me like 10 minutes to think of a new name? Please? I'll send you a tell shortly and sorry about breaking the rules".

This will absolutely guarantee you enough time to come up with Snarglebark which is what you should have thought of in the first place.

While I can see the hypocrisy it's a free player run server and they can do whatever they want really.. they could ban you just because they thought your character looked at them funny. It sucks but that's the double edged sword that is p99.
Maybe roll a monk named "Mericafist"

[Shac]

now ill never get my epics

[Psyborg]

Surely you have to understand why your politically charged, 'immersion breaking' name is an issue. The issue isn't simply that you used a name that also references a place out of game, but that you used a name that explicitly references a place out of game. Menden and Rogean may very well have out of game matches, but unless there was a surname to go along with that which made it more specific there really shouldn't be an issue. For example, if you had used Georgia as a name, sure it is a state and country but it's also a recognizable name elsewhere. Now if you had used Georgia with Atlanta as a surname, there would be an issue.

Additionally, you are not able to use a name which forms a phrase. Americafirst is clearly a phrase.

Your name breaks TOS for 2 separate reasons. Just move on mate.

[shuklak]

We will remember you.

America first.

[billcrystals]

The attempts to snitch on GMs for supposedly naming themselves after shit like “Medris Healthcare Solutions” is truly inspired. OP has real P99 EQ potential.

[-TK-]

Your name is lame for an EQ character imo, but despite that the naming policy is one of the most arbitrarily enforced rules on the server and you should expect no consistency or precedent to set any kind of standard. I mean, isn't the name of a prominent guild leader Khall Drogo? I know there's quite a few other high level characters that they have let slide for years. There was even a list going on the forums at one point. It has nothing to do with immersion and everything to do with someone reporting you and a staff member agreeing they don't like the name.

Looks like one true statement from OP is taking "a few life lessons from this game over the last 20 years" but apparently all those lessons came from RnF.

Bye OP, good luck on your next adventure where I'm sure everybody will be conspiring against you once again.

[moleman]

Thanks for the replies, love or hate its all good for a laugh. The point isn't that its a great name or it violates the rules, the point is technically every name does and maybe there should be a lvl cut off to where a GM can destroy your character because they don't like the name.

I think the unique names that "break immersion" are great, it would probably suck if everyones name was a boring one.

This is part of name-related rant called: "A dangerous precedent", posted on 12/7/2000

Well Good ol' Verant is at it again. Lately due to being in my first hell lvl and also for personal reasons I've been playing a druid char on Morell-Thule and am in a guild that was started by a guy I work with that's called Tolkien's Revenge. TR has approximately 75 ppl in the guild and is one of, if not, the largest guild on MT. The guild has been in existence for over 6 months now and the other night, without warning, the head temp GM (the other is on maternity leave)disbanded the guild with NO warning. When a few of the officers and the guild leader petitioned, the GM stated that they recieved a complaint about the name and that it was a violation of Verant's naming policy as it was a copyright infringement so he disbanded it. Ant attempts to further speak to him were met with "I'm busy" or the guild leader andofficers were world kicked when they tried to complain. The problem that I have, and many on the whineplay boards where there are 2 threads on this are posted is this; this name WENT thru the approval process without problems, and the guild has had dealings with 4 or 5 GMs since approval when udates caused members to lose tags, and twice the guild leader accidently deleted the guild while talking and executed the delete command somehow. NEVER has the name been a problem until the very FIRST night this GM is on. Also, since Verant's naming policy was brought up, then FoH on Veeshan is also in violation as they're named after book by Robert Jordan, which according to Verant is also a violation.

1) "Good ol'Verant", check
2) GM rude asshole complaint, check
3) Being ignored, check
4) World-kick punishment, check
5) Snitching on others, check

What has always been, will always be.

[BlackBellamy]

Just like to point out that specific example https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5860 has the guy mention that his plainly illegal guild name was "approved" and like a bunch of other GMs ignored it so it must have been all right. So the outrage when a GM happens that actually enforces the rules is awesome.

Inconsistent naming enforcement is as classic as it gets.

[BlackBellamy]

Snitching on FoH for a Robert Jordan copyright violation, when half their guild was Verant employees lol. I'm sure that got some traction.

Also guys, there seriously are almost no white supremacists in the country. Like, almost none. And everyone hates them. They are a fringe joke with absolutely no power. Let it go, you're living in a paranoid delusion if you believe this, seriously. I'm concerned about you if you live this way. It's a buzzword that has oozed into your brain by osmosis.

Yes this is true. Just like Trump voters are a distinct minority compared to the popular majority of American voters who wanted Hillary to win.

However thanks to the internet, and a president who encourages and emboldens these fringe elements, these hate groups have been granted an outsized voice to spread their nefarious message.

Thanks again to staff for not allowing the OP's coded hate speech to infect our community.

The Nazi Party, too, was a fringe group before rising to power at the hands of a leader who was nationalistic, jingoistic, denigrated immigrants and other races, attacked the free press, attacked the judiciary, and trumpeted aggressive law enforcement. I think it's perfectly reasonable to want to curb stomp these groups out of existence. Our president, in failing to eloquently and concisely denounce white supremacy during the live debate, unwittingly boosted the national profile of a white supremacist group.

When your entire political identity is "I'm on the good guy team", you inevitably run into a supply and demand dilemma when things improve. Ergo, trump, who is just a rich brat, is now basically the next hitler.

Ironically, the people who fancy themselves the harbingers of peace, need peace not to occur, otherwise they make themselves obsolete. So just stretch those definitions out as much as you need to, now *everyone's* a white supremacist!

Do I believe that Trump was asked to denounce white supremacy and then fumbled and minced words to such a degree that a white supremacist group thought he was supporting them? Yes. I'm not suggesting that he intended to do this, hence why I said "unwittingly." That's exactly the problem though. Instead of clearly and concisely answering the question, he flubbed it and came off as supporting them.

[douglas1999]

The proud boys aren't a white supremacist group though, kind of a crucial detail. Their "leader" is afrocuban and they have many non-white members.

A hint that your ideology is going off the rails is when you think black people can be white supremacist. What in god's name are you talking about? There are many reasons to criticize them, but you're taking troll bait so insanely hard when you genuinely think they are "white supremacist". Again, it's a buzzword. Actual white supremacists all live in like kentucky or something and there are like 20 of them.

Yeah, guys. Completely ignore all the other issues at stake and get offended that a widely unpopular fractional (read marginal even) segment of the American population might vote for Trump so make sure you don't vote for him. Cuz, you know, if they vote for him and then you vote for him, that makes you just like them.

This thread was already so bad to start it doesn't deserve to be re-railed. By page 8 I think anything constructive to the conversation regarding the OP has been said.

[Castle2.0]

Gays will vote for Trump... but guys will vote for Biden.

Oh my, if you don't vote for Trump you're not pro-gay, but you're also anti-gay because you don't vote for Biden since some gays will vote for him.

Yeesh, you're in a pickle. You have to 100% align with everyone person that votes for your candidate, but if some group votes for another candidate, you obviously don't support that group.

If you don't vote for Trump, you obviously don't support law enforcement - they are almost all going for him

To be fair to the people who run this, this thread has definitely gotten hijacked by politicking. I consider it emergent content though, which is part of what makes everquest interesting. And let's not forget, we are all gigantic nerds who play everquest. I think this can unite us.

Southern Poverty Law Center describes it best: "Their disavowals of bigotry are belied by their actions."

They have a lot to come back from if you've read anything that came out of the founders mouth for the last, what, 15 years? And just to put this into perspective for anyone that doesn't do their own research, we are having HUGE national conversations of about a group that consists of at most 300 members according to the most recent statistics I could find. Again, not representative of our society as a whole or in any large part. I believe Trump really didn't know who they were when asked by the debate. Out of all the things the president is constantly briefed on, I wager the Proud Boys specifically were pretty low on the list until after he was asked at the debate.

It's called Hollywood? That statement was in jest at your line of thinking that if you vote for someone that a small marginal group supports that you think is bad, then that makes you bad by association. If that was the case we wouldn't be able to vote for anyone, because there would always be someone you don't approve of voting for the same candidate. I invoked the pedo/molester theories because there's more and more people claiming (I think mostly from the Qnon folks, but there's a lot of folks that believe it - I've got an aunt that is unhinged about Tom Hanks being a pedo, but I'm not up on that theory) that Hollywood celebs are a bunch of pedo's and child exploiters so I drew a bad comparison to make the point that your line of thinking was bad. I could have used another example but I took it to the level of ridiculousness that I thought met the level of ridiculousness of your statement. I personally claim ignorance on the validity of the pedo accusations, but as we see more and more sexual exploitation being exposed in Hollywood, and the child star becoming a sane functional member of adult society seeming to be exception to the rule of child stardom, I could see how people could believe the conspiracies. I personally think determining your vote on whether or a not a miniscule group of society's dregs is voting for them or not is a terrible idea.

In truth in regards to the white supremacists voting, if they vote at all, they'll vote for Trump simply because he doesn't endorse the BLM organization. And his stance on BLM most likely has nothing to do with race, and everything to do with Trump seeing them as Democratically back instigators trying to ruin the election for him. I'm pretty sure the only color Trump sees is green.

[Pretzelle]

Trump has been solidly against black people his entire life unless they can make him money or benefit him directly. He was raised that way by his racist father and never bothered to change.

I have to deal with a few really wealthy guys that act a lot like Trump so I draw a lot of comparisons from them because I see the similarities. I don't think it has much if anything to do with being black, brown, white, etc... I'm pretty sure you just described how he looks at every person. It explains why as soon as you don't do something Trump wanted you to do, you're gone. He has a vision and all he cares about is what role you play in achieving that vision.

He didn't say this during the debate, which is specifically what I'm referencing. I completely believe that he meant to do denounce them, but he was so defensive about the question that he failed to.

because if you were paying attention you would have noticed it was a 2 part question, they didn't just ask him to denounce white supremacists, they also asked him to denounce militias in the same question.

Basically Chris Wallace weaved that in there and I must admit it was a masterful play on his part.

People talking about white supremacy and this party and that party are completely ignorant of the reality they live in.

Operation Paperclip (July 20th, 1945-1959) was carried out by CIA and other agencies to bring Nazi scientists and elite to the U.S to further "science". Let that sink in.

On paper it was 1600+ of them, in reality the documents reveal more than 4500.

Truth of the matter is: they don't care what color you are. Only if you are a good slave and adhere to the system like a good serf.

But continue to divide yourselves on purposefully manifested ideologies that keep the working class bogged down and unable to break their chains.

serious question tho as i dont pay attention to politics past reading voting history and voting on who will most likely implement policies that directly effect me.

is saying something like america first really a white supremacy dog whistle?

ive traveled a bit (not the entire world or anything) and people are ALWAYS saying their country is the best / #1 etc, and never considered anything more than brief topical nationalism

[Ravager]

When your entire political identity is "I'm on the good guy team", you inevitably run into a supply and demand dilemma when things improve. Ergo, trump, who is just a rich brat, is now basically the next hitler.

Ironically, the people who fancy themselves the harbingers of peace, need peace not to occur, otherwise they make themselves obsolete. So just stretch those definitions out as much as you need to, now *everyone's* a white supremacist!
Because if there was peace, there wouldn't be anything else to do...

Yes. There's a difference between having national pride and patriotism vs saying we should only look out for ourselves and keep the immigrants out and build the useless wall that is purely a symbol of keeping out a certain race of people (since it wouldn't actually function as a barrier to entry in the country).

Gays will vote for Trump... but guys will vote for Biden.

Oh my, if you don't vote for Trump you're not pro-gay, but you're also anti-gay because you don't vote for Biden since some gays will vote for him.

Yeesh, you're in a pickle. You have to 100% align with everyone person that votes for your candidate, but if some group votes for another candidate, you obviously don't support that group.

If you don't vote for Trump, you obviously don't support law enforcement - they are almost all going for him

I love the phrase "America First". On a political level I agree with helping our own first and not always being the policeman of the world.

That said, It's not a very cool name for an EQ character. I come to Norrath to escape the real world, including it's politics. If you really wanted to get away with it you should have messed with the spelling a bit. "Mericafirsst" for example.

The GM's would have a hard time proving a violation since "Merica" isn't a real place and "Firsst" is mispelled. You have to accept the rules as written especially since this is a free game being provided to us by generous people donating thier time.

No but it was a good video without everyone calling each other racist in an actual discussion (until the antifa guy with the boom box showed up). He posts the sources for all his information for you to look up. What's wrong with factual information? oh yeah it's racist forgot.

As for cops all being murderous blood thirsty gangsters there may be a few bad ones and they have to be dealt with but not by defunding the police and prison system. If you are for abolishing police and the prison system as BLM and antifa are I can only pray for you.

Since Trump has gotten into office he has had the unwavering support of all white national/supremacy organizations unlike any president, ever. He also loves to grab women's' genitals', make fun of handicapped people & POWs and so many other things that make him endearing to people who are ignorant and/or filled with hate, or are just blatantly racist, but i prefer to think most of his supports are ignorant because it's not really an ignorant persons fault they are that way, they just lack the capacity, or perspective to see themselves for what they are...

No - you were asked a question straight up and you ignored it. Then produced some blah about availability heuristics, when in reality, there are millions of black conservatives in America with a proud political history.

The reason you probably think there's only 10 black Trump supporters in this country is because the leaders of the African American community do not give black conservatives a platform. They espouse a narrative of systemic racism coupled with a democratic party-promoted welfare state which confirms their roles as the "protectors" of the black community. The media isn't going to provide this platform either for reasons which I would hope are obvious to you at this point.

[Muggens]

Your name is lame for an EQ character imo, but despite that the naming policy is one of the most arbitrarily enforced rules on the server and you should expect no consistency or precedent to set any kind of standard. I mean, isn't the name of a prominent guild leader Khall Drogo? I know there's quite a few other high level characters that they have let slide for years. There was even a list going on the forums at one point. It has nothing to do with immersion and everything to do with someone reporting you and a staff member agreeing they don't like the name.

[Zipity]

I have been a fan of Everquest since 2000, played on live and have played on p99 off and on for about 8 years. I enjoy the game because nothing is given to you and you must forge your way through the trials and try to come out on top, and if not on top at least with come fine steel to sell. The journey is the reward. The gear and the loot allow you to progress but for the most part that epic train or boss you downed is remembered for the reaction of the group and not what bp you had on.

I mention all of this because the other day i was toiling away in Paw trying scrape together some xp and maybe a scroll while waiting to see if i got lucky with a group showing up. A GM messages me and tells me my name (Americafirst) is a violation of the naming rules because its a location, which im not even sure is a violation, and that i needed to immediately select a new one. After a couple of messages trying to figure out if this was all necessary the GM changed my name, this deleted all my hotkeys and lagged me so hard i almost died.

Now maybe you hate the name and maybe you love it, I can tell you I got only positive feedback about it. At one point i had someone see me on someone else’s live stream and decided to log on and chat with me. Now, because this GM has a personal issue with my name, I have to live with some Bot name with no life in it and every experience i had with people is essentially wiped away. Its not about the friends list or the frequently spoken with people, its the people 10 levels later that remember you from Mistmoore or the guy who had to sow you 5 times in a row because you suck at CR's.

Changing a persons name is stripping them quite literally of their identity and steals the time invested. All of that is lost. Right now i have a petition in for review, it's 5 days in and i doubt they will even look at it for more than ten minutes before siding with their fellow employee that removed it (which the employee bragged would happen) Below is a list of the GM's that run this site and have an active name violation according to their own rules.

Call it an overreaction but all I see is hypocrisy. I have actually taken a few life lessons from this game over the last 20 years, this will be the last point of XP i earn in this game, assuming this decision is not reversed. No matter where you go in life, whether that is a digital marketplace, hangout, IRL job, or a mini golf course there will always be someone trying to exert power over you, no matter how small that power may be in the grand scheme of life, and if you allow it to go unchecked, thats exactly where it will stay. It's a lack of respect for you and the rules they don't want follow. We all know 90% of the names on the server are in violation, but who cares? We are in a peaceful world that barely anyone on Earth knows about.

Flame this post if you will, won’t matter, you are all (technically and at their discretion) one tell away from having someone strip your time away from you.

Be good to each other, and I wish you all safe (sowed) travels,

This thread is inherently ludicrous.

I'll bet $50 the OP would be the first to whine and bitch and report someone that had the name Russiafirst, or Chinafirst, or Northkoreafirst, or Japanfirst, (or any [Country]first.)

Stop being so ethnocentric.

If you cannot separate real-world shit from an a elf fantasy simulator, GTFO of here and go play Pokemon.

I would give that guy a ban right away! Not like forever, I mean like a week...listen sorry I don't mean to be presumptuous, of course in your wisdom you have decided your reply was all that was necessary. I'm sorry. I know you guys are the best. Especially you (unless another GM is reading this then you're both equally best).

GM lives matter I always say.
