The name graveyard
 

Please post here if your name was changed so we can keep track of whos name was changed.

Old name ---> New Name

Taxi Driver - Bilbus Baggons :rolleyes:
BarackObooma - Thunderstruck
Humwawa Chemosh - Athiyk Rah`Vlos

How is taxi driver any worse than bilbus baggons (clear reference?)

Bilbus wouldn't have gotten through my name filter either...

What the fuck is wrong with Taxi Driver? I saw a dude today in EC named Dezknutz or last night some gnome named Rickjamez who ran around calling everyone bitch. While humorous for a moment it wore out quickly.

BarackObooma--> Thunderstruck

And that is why names get nerfed.

1). Inconsistent with the fantasy roleplaying genre.

2). Would have never been allowed on live, which the existence of this project is to emulate.

3). Possible accusations of copyright infringement from Columbia Pictures and the estate of Bernard Herrmann.

And you're right, those other names are equally inappropriate. It's just a matter of catching them.

Money does not have to change hands to infringe Copyright....

It's not really my high horse. I'm not the one who was subject to a name change. And I'm not the one complaining about name changes. And as I've said countless times before, if you use even a fraction of common sense when choosing a name, it won't be subjected to change.

Please keep your flaming out of this thread. I need to be able to keep editing. Thank you.
