"Goner"

This has always been my favorite.

Really appropriate name for an SK pet.

I would like to submit some names for approval to the "naming convention" before I start playing these characters only to have their names revoked:

Arsnova - wizard
Garrote - rogue
Panacea Placebo - cleric
Pestilencia -shadowknight
Virulence - shaman
Decrepus - necro

Are these acceptable to you good sirs?

km2783 05-27-2010 04:19 PM

No, because I already made Virulence :D

You may have Virrulence, Viruulence, Virulennce, etc. Or I will let you have it if I can have Herpification or Theherpifier.

If the name isn't offensive(racist etc)

I'm not for racist names, but that's the same thing as you were arguing against. Censorship is censorship, regardless of the degree to which it is enforced. You think racist names or names with swearing should be blocked, yet you say you should just ignore those people instead of being offended.

It really just comes down to what the server admins feel like is acceptable, and from what I can gather, they find racism and swearing unacceptable, as well as some gross names, but drug related names are fine. But your argument as stated is flawed and contradictory.

I find many names that make me roll my eyes, but it's a game, so whatever. I've learned to base my grouping decisions on how the person plays, not what their sense of humor is, or there'd only be like three people in my level range I could group with.

Although all the constant pot names and weed chat is annoying, but whatever. Just don't be passed out when I need a heal.

For example, I think Smokesweed is a stupid name, but he is/was a fine Necro.

Deal as far as I'm concerned! :D

No, it's not the same thing. If you're trying to equivocate a name like "Ilikepie" to "Iliketokilljews" then I can't be bothered to waste time engaging you in a civilized conversation about the matter, and I'm more patient than most.

Yes, it's their server and this is a private affair so it's ultimately their rules, for better or worse. But, to suggest chuck had a flawed or contradictory argument is absolutely absurd.

To use metaphor/simile, It's like you're saying that burning jews alive is only bad because it pollutes the environment, and if someone can prove it doesn't pollute the environment it's prefectly fine to burn jews alive. There are more than just environmental factors, like you know, humanitarian consderations etc.

There are 2 kinds of EQ players

1). The kind that go out of their way to piss other people off.

2). The kind that go out of their way to piss off the people who piss other people off.
