  • names

    If someone decideds to Quit SS...forever, instead of waiting for tht name to reset i think it would be good if the user leaving could ?retire <name> instead, giving people the opportunity to get the name rather than waiting years(depending on its usage) for it.

    that would be cool, they should also make it so when you do a ?find, it actually says when they were seen last, instead of just "more than 10 days ago"
    Like, there was this ninja who got
    ticked off at some people who kept
    talking while he was trying to rock
    out on his guitar, so the ninja totally
    flipped out and sang at them till
    they all exploded!!! (true story.)

      I have to disagree. I HATE talking to people that are someone else.
      Ice Storm>Hey sup rot... Hows da car?
      Rot>What car.. newbie
      Ice Storm>Dude what the hell
      Rot>Who are you?
      Ice Storm>Who the hell are you?..


      bad example. .But still its very annoying

      Dont have it reset btw just give the name to someone u know .. or someone that wants it.. not some name trader that just puts it on his list

        I have to 100% disagree. I'm never gonna give up my name, but my parents kinda banned me from playing continuum. (could have use forbidden, but I am addicted after all )

        This post is almost like a "im quitting ss forever" thread by some newb, but I'm actually bugging my parents about trying to get me able to play again. I will still make maps and graphics so I can still have some connection to the game. Well, I'll see you guys when I come back. I guess now, I can pay full attention to my high school career.

          i disagree. not onyl would many people not do that, but also it does not adress the real problem, which is people who hoard a ton of names that they never even use.

            This ALSO would mean that if someone stole a name, they could ?retire it and then make it again with their own password...

            Not a good idea.

                Yeah, this is a terrible idea. No one is going to use it. If someone quit after 5 years of playing, they sure as hell aren't going to ?retire their name so that some retard can make the name and pretend to be you.

                  Good point...
                  It sounds like a good idea, but after playing for years with a certain alias, who really wants it to be gone to some name trader. I think that Ewan was trying to get at that they could .?retire the alias, and make it again with their own LOSTpassword, because you can steal and change pw with the setting that are used already. I just know i don't want to give up my alias when i feel the need to stop playing.

                    Eh, why not limit the number of names per IP? Say 5 or so, that gives the name freaks names to play with and keeps it sane. Plus it keeps people from hording 50 names for no reason. Stick to at MOST 2 solid names, heh. Otherwise you are border-line schizophrenic.

                    Baddabing. Case closed.

                      Because you cannot use an IP address for anything like that. Reason? Many broadband users (DSL mostly) have a dynamtic IP address that changes every time they log onto their ISP.

                        I'm no programmer but I'm sure that something along the lines of what I mentioned is plausible in computer land.

                          That should be changed, I hate the "more than 10 days ago", it can stand for 11 days or 199 days sigh...
