compulsive name hoarding

[Sarien]

Nah man it's not a "rights" thing.. it's politeness. What do people need with 237 names, except to trade them around and try to a) make money or B) get other even MORE names added to that pile? The less taken names and unused names there are, the less you'll tend to see "AznD1ckHon3y293202" names. A flawed argument, true, but I'm sticking with it, and assuming everyone that can't get names like.. Steve.. or .. Billy... or.. PlasticFantastic go straight from there to the Asian Dick Honey one.

It's true in my case. I went from not being able to get Leon (not my name
but just sounds like a badass) to just saying "Fuck it.. D&D character.. Sarien"

And yeah.. I'm a nerd, btw. I don't deny or hide it, though.. Dork will work in a pinch.

The five name limit suggestion is just because in five reasons:
First, it'd help keep names free
Second, it'd help save space on the machine hosting TW
Third, It would totally make doublesquadding easier to prevent/police
Fourth, It would stop any "oh boo hoo Sarien died, I swear" "SarienJr has entered the arena." bullshit nonsense.
Fifth, it'd make name trading even more legitimate and structured.
"Blah Blah I'll trade you JackTheKipper for Max Power"
"Ok... Max Power deleted.. re-register the name"
no ?lp scandals.
And with a 5 max.. you bet your bippy that the quality of traded names would go up.

there are already amny threads about this! but I agree with overburn, names that are inactive for a month or so with less then 20 hours of usage should be deleted!

[DUMBRIT!]

name hoarders are twats I whole-heartedly agree

[Dim]

You'll be pleased to know I am one of those people who have lots of good names and don't use them.

[PEGASiS]

Moo I have some good names, but occasionally I give a ton of them away. A couple of people you see around today with decent names got em from me. I don't give names to newbies tho cuz they ruin them...

[Rion.]

I definitely agree, but what can you do? It seems it's not going to happen... -_-

[Auraz]

The user name means nothing. Boo hoo if you don't have the name if you want. It took me about a year to get the name Aura. Also it took me about 8 months to get the name Logan. So don't bitch and moan because you started last week and don't have the name that you want.

[Overburn]

So don't bitch and moan because you started last week and don't have the name that you want.

hmmmm, I've been playing continuum since 2000. I believe 4½ years is alot longer than 1 week. and for the record, Im not "bitching and moaning", If I was I would be saying stuff like "W7FZ |\|0OBZ, DON7 T4|<E GO0D NAEM$ AND G4TH3R 7H3M, unf unf, I HEaTE$ YOU. ARRRFFGGGH MY FACE@#@#~!%!$#%"

*On walkie talkie*

Fzzt.

Yeah, we're gonna need a tranq' gun for this Overburn fella, over.

Fzzt.

[Overburn]

*gets shot with tranq* zZzZzZzZz

[Rion.]

Eased!

[Overburn]

zZzZzZzZzZzZz *wakes up*

noooo!!!!! I was eased..............

[Jeansi]

I can't see the point in getting many names but if that's what people want to do on their spare time, I'm not gonna stop em.

Cake - Frank Sinatra.mp3

this reminds me of a song....

We know of an ancient radiation
That haunts dismembered constellations,
A faintly glimmering radio station.
While Frank Sinatra sings Stormy Weather,
The flies and spiders get along together,
Cobwebs fall on an old skipping record.

Beyond the suns that guard this roof,
Beyond your flowers of flaming truths,
Beyond your latest ad campaigns,
An old man sits collecting stamps
In a room all filled with Chinese lamps.
He saves what others throw away.
He says that he'll be rich some day.

We know of an ancient radiation
That haunts dismembered constellations,
A faintly glimmering radio station.

We know of an ancient radiation
That haunts dismembered constellations,

The flies and spiders get along together,
Cobwebs fall on an old skipping record.

actually I just wanted to forum whore, and get my posts up p08 p01
