You need to calm down.

If you want to get technical, it is in the rules.

Server Rules thread.

- Character renaming can and will occur if a player’s name is offensive. (GM Discretion)

http://www.project1999.org/forums/showthread.php?t=1057

Definition of offensive:

Causing anger, displeasure, resentment, or affront

Definition of discretion:

freedom or authority to make judgments and to act as one sees fit (esp in the phrases at one's own discretion, at the discretion of)

With that being said, he is following almost the exact same naming policy as live GMs used.

We will post more formal rules when we can. (Yeah I don't give a fuck how soon anyone thinks I should do it. The name policies are being reviewed by the Developers and guides.)

What a waste of GM time. And unless more than 1 GM is on it and for hours and hours, its a total waste of time because unless theres a real concerted effort on renames, its never going to stop. Its like removing global OOC and letting people create private channels.

Is there really a waste of volunteer time? When I pass by the Salvation Army should I tell them they are wasting their time, because they will never be able to feed all the hungry people? Anyways, this isn't at the forefront, nor will it be. Petitions are done in a triage manner of urgent to non-urgent. If your name gets changed, it might be because someone petitioned against it, or you happen to pass by a Guide or GM. No one is out looking for them.

To me, it looks like you were trying to call a bluff, and it didn't work out in your favor.

Allrite instead of spamming petitions ill help you do the right thing. Here, ill give you a list. When you get the opportunity, all these people probably have names that need to be changed:

Nurtured hadababyitsaboy, hammer time, sweet cheeks, Kram kingkonginmytrunk, fight club, crackzilla lacedyou, cirrhosis, Astro Physics, Eternal damnation, Ektar DPSmeister, magicflow magicflow, Psyduck stankdankduck, Merllin, Metaversion, Vierge, Prospect, getsome, lessplay, hits, glitch, stumble, upgrayedd, sausagelink, swishahouse swishablast, Macroz Dablack, Heebee Cavalier, Bronson Deathwish, jijika maffaka, taichi, perky nips, sneaktooth sneakwhistle, sweat lodge, peekayyoo leibowitz, symmetry, special, orgazmo, rickjamez, senaeil dasinister, therevenger, skeezer, absolut, skeezerz, infinity, spektrum haspewpew, ghulak puppyslayer, Motrin, goregut fleshripper, kalmy missesalot, Jester, clairvoyant, Tokyo, Teacup, twogirls, onecup, liver, Blocky Balboa, fatch icks, Mordavin Mayhem, priestof, forsale, phatso fosho, evilbaa thesheep, deathgirl, Coolboi, Donaldson Afkdoingdrugs, Scooter, Eashan Enforcer, feign, Uuur Cleric, raiyn, snoogan skywalker, triplesix fallenangel, Talisman, Bootleg, Wonton, Kraizee, stomps, spleenripper, shamwhat madeingermany, nerfed, Mountaineer, Mana, Aadill pickle, Vengeful, Wraith, Bukowski Drinks, Isenguard, itzlegend, Banzo Istrouble, debuff urface, Thunderstruck, Rozie Rotten, Grimskull, Infectious, Porcinet, Grenade, Fizzlefingers, Phunqi, Hasbinbad, Pheersome, Bubbles, Spectre, Amaya Kissesgirls, morestorage.

Actually i suggest you dont do it... i cant imagine the kind of trouble it would cause if you actually went and appeared at random in front of all these people and tell them they have to pick a new name on the spot. I think some real thought needs to be given to this. More thought than not telling me i was about to lose 4 pages of macros.

Or just do it like the EC tunnel. One day wipe, everyone loses their name with GMs in EC going BANG! rename BANG! rename BANG! on and on. With how it is right now youre just gonna piss people off and attract whines of favoritism. And please, does it really matter if i call myself Taxee Draivur? Seriously?

My suggestion is that the rule be that only offensive names will be removed, and that Devs/GMs make the call of whats offensive and it is final. There must be something better to do with GM time than this.

It's like when a kid gets in trouble for doing something, you don't like being the only person in trouble for something others have done too... so you start tattling... "Well he did it too! Why isn't he in trouble?"

What about names that sound like a word? "Bob" could be considered a word, and not a name, since it is what a cork does in the water. "Pat" must not be a valid name either, because it is an action. QUICK! Alert the almight christian God himself so he can right these wrongs! We dont want humans walking the face of the earth with names that are also words in their native tongue! See my earlier post, in this thread no less, where I stated the two most common reasons guides in Classic EQ changed player names. It is very relevant to this incident.

Wow, really, really reaching aren't we?

This is a pretty sad display of butt-hurtedness.

The rule is pretty damn simple, I think. Your first name and last name cannot form a word/phrase. It doesn't get much clearer than that. How can you argue against this when Schade Nfreude is clearly breaking this rule?

You're making yourself look like an idiot.

Actually i was trying to show the absurdity of the situation. What really ticked me off though is the vindictiveness of Cyrius's reaction "Just wait till i see you online =)" and how it could be viewed as power tripping when he doesnt tell me my UI and Macros were about to be wiped (something he must have known was gonna happen).

Also Nilbog quoting "If name are offensive we will change them" and "at GMs discretion" is a weak argument to try to justify that "Taxi Driver" was changed. Just ditch the offensive part and just say that GMs can remove your name if you dont respect their authoritay on the forums.

I will not discuss this matter further, have fun flaming and painting me as a buttsore baby.

[oldhead]

I will BOLD ones that should be changed... and leave alone ones I would find acceptable if I were a Guide.
