Well then, since you obviously take this game very seriously and have enough time to care enough about to server to get someone banned over six letters that don't involve any swears and most people don't know the meaning of. Then let's wait and see if Byronosaurus and myself get our accounts banned for ignorance of the law. At least now I know to stay away from Xiggie and Dignatio - that's the whole reason I quit p99. And seeing where this drama is heading makes me want to:
a) quit while I'm ahead and leave you trolls to your bridges.
b) reroll all my characers as Xxxxxxxxxxxa, Xxxxxxxxxxb, Xxxxxxxxc, ad infinitum
c) turn off tells, shout, auction, out of character.
Good job of being the naming police, not so great for server population but hey - seems like it's mostly tiered elitist trying to make life harder for people just trying to have some fun in peace. For the record I have PC names off and pay 0 attention to the other people on the server unless I run into them in an LDoN.
Atm options B and C sound like the most entertaining while A is most probable. Enjoy your private server Xiggie - if you keep your work up you can have it to yourself.
P.S. Be more thorough in your reading if you're going to attempt to verbally spar with me - what I said was : "Depending on the interpretation the people proposing that certain names be banned that
do not "violate" the naming policy may also be in line for the ban stick as you are ruining the game for others." So yeah, if Hunter banned someone named Xiggie for having an inappropriate name then yes, he should ban himself.
Also - I would assume that Hunter made the bad word/naming policy
worded vaguely, and it is vague despite your personal opinion, so that things of this nature can be left to his discretion. He's judge jury and executioner - our opinions are just from the peanut gallery.
And since I'm on a roll - if you think people with inappropriate names should reroll then delete that T4 UC paladin, even if it isn't completely yours it would still be a lawful, just act that would bring about a more appropriate, mature, and politically correct environment for all of us to enjoy.
I have a toon named Blaknuss named after a Roland Kirk song
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blacknuss. This could be interpreted as racist, though it was hardly intended as such. That's why I'm defending Fapfap, he meant no harm by it, had no idea that people would take it as seriously as it has been and would change the name if it was at all possible. I would assume you might see him with the name Fapfap PleaseDontBanMe when you see him next.
Where does the line get drawn? If I make a toon named Xxxxxxxxxa is that going to be an issue because XXX is a rating for pornography? If I make a female erudite named Badonkadonk will that be grounds for the ban stick? How about Perineum or Labia? I knew a guy a p99 who had a female gnome named Squirting Continuously, though slightly vaguer then Fapfap it is still interpreted as sexual - though nothing ever came of his silly choice in names. Perhaps I should just stick with names involving using illicit substances since that is clearly not covered in the naming policy - except for the et cetera part...
Furthermore, though Fapfap is indeed considered slang for masturbation on the internet, as no one in their right mind would dare speak such nonsense aloud, it does also have other meanings.
Fap - used as an adjective to describe one who is drunk:
" * 1599, William Shakespeare, The Merry Wives of Windsor, act I, scene I
BARDOLPH: Why, sir, for my part, I say the gentleman had drunk himself out of his five sentences.
EVANS: It is his 'five senses'; fie, what the ignorance is!
BARDOLPH: And being
fap, sir, was, as they say, cashier'd; and so conclusions passed the careires." -
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/fapAnyone have a list of names that people have been banned for? That would be a interesting sight to see.
