its not your world, the gods have spoken, this is the way brad intended

for all those who feel betrayed, you have not been betrayed, you're being sorted for when brad returns!

If I decide to play Bradtheon, I will be naming my character "Winchester". And it won't get removed.

I want to say this is server chat so people understand i'm not trolling...

I never wanted to hurt anyone or make them sad. My intentions weren't to cause anger or even hatred towards anyone. I simply wanted better immersion. That is all.

When you get exactly what you want how can this statement not be considered a troll?

We don't believe you. Rubbing noses in it has come full circle. Welcome to the other side of the tracks, homie.

The funny thing is Baler had nothing to do with them deciding to enforce the naming policy.

He is actually "leeching" off the situation, pretending his thread (created a year ago) had some sort of influence over them deciding to enforce the policy. It didn't.

Llandris explained why they decided to start enforcing the policy, and nowhere was it written that it was to further enhance Baler's personal sense of immersion on p99. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Basically it boils down to a petty person finding humor in the sadness of others, and as you said... Rubbing their noses in it.

Baler is a sad and weak troll. Perhaps the real life stuff you’ve spewed at me is in order of a petition.

Sucks if your last name is Bauer! Guess you can't open "Bauer Shooting Range", because Bauer makes hockey equipment, right? (Wrong).

Winchester the wood eld druid in a fantasy RPG is not in violation of any trademark or copyright. It's down to "the staff doesn't want to allow that name". Since it's a private server, they have that right and don't have to have a reason. But let's not pretend that there is any infringement or rule violation here over a name as prevalent as "Winchester", especially over "guns and ammo" in a world where guns and ammo don't exist. Get real.

Interesting note - there actually is a trademark registered for "Winchester Ranger". Had he been a ranger, there would have been a legitimate case!

You're being deliberately dense. Winchester is an internationally recognized name, and not even a recent one: go back a hundred years and interview almost anyone in America and they'll be familiar with the Winchester rifle.

If you can show me any widely recognized name like that that didn't/won't get removed you'll have a point, but until then you're just whining because your extremely well-known and clearly rule-violating name got changed.

Can somebody please just put some boots on and create another p99 that is good PLEASE

Just like how Loramin is a generic drug... Loramin is an antihistamine that reduces the effects of natural chemical histamine in the body. Histamine can produce symptoms of sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose...

you could be on the tracks soon enough!
