Yup, mine was tough luck as well, still doesn't change my point of view on this.

[Tanis]

Do you honestly think your point of view matters?

Nobody's does, you can state it, re-state it, re-evaluate it, re-state it again, and it still won't matter, no matter how right you are.

Fact is, I won't get CKY back, Mike won't get THC back, XXX will stay, GPS will too, and they will ignore this thread.

And people will still, find some way, to pregnant dog. Even though it does no good at all.

Actually yea, i discussed about thealtered items with JLH, why would he talk to me about it if he didnt care for what i had to say?

Also, follow your own advice then, stfu?

Blow me?

You and JLH talked. BRAVO?!

Yeah. I've talked to Pandilex and JLH both about CKY. Think that helped? Haha. No.

Yeah, sure seems like Pandilex is rushing to take down that post because you convinced JLH to do the Angelus way.

No i shared my view, you know the one you just said didn't matter, but the one JLH still wanted to know. I don't need to convince anyone, i simply share what i feel and if you use it or not is up to you. So dude, just shut up, your arguments are lame, i seriously expected more from you, allthough i dunno why...

[Consumed]

/t angelous basicly we are "sharing how we feel" about this...

[Anesthesia]

If ya'll got probs with the game quit... the staff won't do anything... nothing is going to change... there are far better games out there . Just delete and unistall.

[Gaddy]

If you get XXX, it's only fair, because I find that offensive as THC or CKY, that we should get ours.

This makes sense to me.

How can you say that CKY's name is banned because some of the lyrics are bad or whatever or because it's a video series similar to Jackass? (which CKY is better, i saw a guy inject tequila straight into his blood stream with IV at a hospital...just..wow.) But there are other band-names with things in their lyrics that are worse.

XXX = porn. The movie is not what anyone thinks when they see the name, there is no real arguement to it either way. It is the symbol for porn, no child is going to think "ooo ya, that movie" before "ooo, porn...I know how to look for that with better things than xxx"

THC = the chemical in weed that makes you stoned. We've got names such as Reefer, Weed, and Weedman. Even worse, Cocain, Crack...many others, I realize most of these are not leveled up much at all and therefore really probably are simply not seen.

GPS...there isn't anyway to say there is something wrong with that imo.



I looked them up, Xxx and Gps now. I don't see the point of lowercasing any of the names...they all still look the same to me. I don't see XXX as different from Xxx. I don't see what the real point of any of this is.

If a person knows what THC or CKY or XXX means...what difference does it make that they are in a text based video game?

In the end, if it is such a big deal to the people who own the names, why change them? Why bother with not allowing things that don't do anything.
If someone is going to use a name like turnip...ya, don't let them, and I would pretty much say that XXX seems bad to me, but making them not use the name or having it as Xxx doesn't change a single thing.

Why not just let the guys have their names how they were?

[Lich]

XXX doesnt mean porn and it doesnt matter to me at all. Angelus was right in one thing History of the symbol we use XXX.

The first time it was recorded that this was used.

1925 a women who was trying to get brothels and Bars out lawed would take a paint brush and make big red xs on the front of the buildings. This became a symbol of forbidden. (this same women was the reason for the proabition, she her self wrote the legislation that congress passed.)

On the internet in HTml chatrooms 15 years ago when i started rping we never used F*** for words we used FXXX to this day in some of them this is still used.
On the the signs and billboards that are sensored for content you will see XXX and under it is the word censored.

If you think that XXX means porn you are either A American or B one tracked mind.

But it doesnt matter argueing over a name and how it is put in the game is stupid, the name is now Xxx i still have the name and the same crit. You still have the name Thc it is not going back to the way it was. get over it.

[Kalypso]

Everyone who posted in this thread has entirely way too much time on their hands.


but yeah, when I see XXX I think "PORN!"

[Angelus]

Well when i see zephie i think **** but maybe that's just me.

Also everyone is including you...whahahahahahahahahaha?

*runs and hides*

[Mec]

Sorry, XXX is an acronym for porn. XXX isn't the "way to sensor." The way to sensor is asteriks.

Erm they censored words way before extended ASCII existed...god

Ermm, asterisks AREN'T extended ascii.

Seriously, when someone sees XXX they think porn!

If someone saw f*** they wouldn't go:

Hmm

Furry
Unvulgar
Cute
Kittens

I know, it's not an acronym.

If someone sees HI, they wouldn't think:

HI: Hydraulic Institute

[Harky]

Unfitting names shouldn't be allowed anyway. It's one of the biggest factors in the lack of atmosphere present in the game as it is today.

Try roleplaying with someone named something like 'h4rrypottar' or 'XFA' and you'll see. No big deal to most of the players, but if you don't encourage roleplaying in at least some form, you're alienating a large percentage of the population of people that play mud's. Nightmist could be so much more populated with a few changes, mostly aesthetical but the little things like this really do count for a lot.

[ice_cold]

this is rediculous, i expected like 15 posts and for this to be over. i see the whole situation has harky said it. i liked my character being sk8ermage, it was over 2 years old and was wondering why all of a sudden it was changed, which i havent gotten an answer to. i personally thing all the stupid names like thc, xxx, txt, mana holder 556 or however high it goes, mr pirate...i mean not mr pirate, ignore that one, he's just some cute little 8 year old who everyone likes, should have thier names chganged along with 5000 others. thats not what im getting at, what im trying to say is everyone should be treated equally, XXX and GPS should be Xxx (there is no way to argue that XXX doesnt bring porn to mind when you look at it, its just plain idiocy trying to argue) and GPS needs to be Gps, its only fair. just like every character with numbers should have thier numbers removed. HOWEVER what i was also trying to get acrossed, was if a characters name is being changed, they should be given forewarning or even afterwards, the chance to have thier names changed for free to something within the new legal system, since thier new name may not hold the same monitary (thats the right word right?) value it once held to that player. now that Sk8ermage is SkaterMage, it just doesnt hold the same value to me anymore, it just looks stupid.

[Rappy_Ninja]

Remove XXX nuff said

[InsaneNinjaPhreak]

Quick question why is R the rating for porn related rating for movies when XXX supposedly means porn? and awhile ago someone spray painted THC on our dumpster out back o.O and then more recently spray painted over that was MANIC lol I have nothing decent to say here, remove every name that can mean something offensive or lead to offensive things for all I care, my names are safe so screw the rest of you! HA! you damn hippies

[ice_cold]

"porno's" dont have a rating and are considered usually to be be UR *un rated* which classifies as a NA-17 (porno movies that go through theatre's and means No Admittance under 17).

and ne theater with NA-17 movies usually has XXX on it (such as the one in a town near mine)

[Lady_Maha]

ROFL I don't know why you people are flipping, as I said earlier in this thread, change the name that is now Xxx to something totally different if you think it's that bad, the crit itself won't change, so I don't care either way (all I have to do it change my healing macros and auto login, big boohoo )

[Consumed]

moondust_13, mystic_1, android_20, franchise2, Ichi2, Jawcodak_2, Johny222, Junior2, Lady_Of_Death2, LedZepp2, Mykherinos2, Sharpshooter2, joe90(witch i believe is jlhs)



those were all missed...

[jurian]

ok i didn't read all your crap but tell me one thing why does sk8erMage gets changed into SkaterMage? if we are gonna be complete wankers about capitals then why not make it Skatermage? same with DeathWish.

edit: what i'm wondering is how can ppl get this pissed about 3 letters like XXX or THC or CKY? do they get hurt by them names or what? i don't get it. this just sounds like jealous people to me.

edit2: i do think THC and CKYand XXX should be capital names. i don't get the fuss really. why would a name be different when it's not in caps anymore? cky will still be the band and THC will still be drugs related and xxx will still be seen as porn.

but because this is a game you ppl wil lcomplain about getting offended by those words. will you ppl complain at a music store if they have CKY somewhere or a video store that has XXX standing somewhere? if i walk in amsterdam i see xxx everywhere. i don't complain, neither do the 4 year old or the 10 year olds. dude you guys must ahve never been to the red light district loads of kids running around there. but for some reason ppl on this game get offended by this.

and to be honest this is all bs and if ppl get offended by names they shouldn't just change the caps but the entire name.

and be consistent to that with everbody like SkaterMage and DeathWish then make them into Skatermage and Deathwish

[Despair]

personally I think if a rule is enforced that everyone should be forced follow it, because if you allow some kind of exceptions your going to get people complaining feeling they have been treated unfairly.

Jsut because you star in XXX movies.. >>;;

[Bahashabeem]

Words are words and letters are letters. Thats about it. Just beacuase someone has made a band name something entirely rude or unsettling doesn't change that when you put CKY together that its just CKY the letters. N THC we learned what that was back in health class the letters though THC are again just letters. So next time someone flips you the bird(middle finger) shrug it off. It is only but a finger right? Think about it.... the only reason a name should be band is if it has a curse word in it or is vulgar in context to the game.

[Eamon]

Just for the record, look at the case to a porno, and they are rated X. Not XXX but X. Not that I have a few laying around the apartment.

And if He cant have CKY because of the lyrics, what about have the other people that use musicians as their name, who use cuss words in their songs.

[jurian]

like eamon?
what annoys me most about this is that my crits name got change from XXX to Xxx like ppl won't think of porn now?

[Zelimos]

its amazing how something so simple as "how come my crit name was changed", to....

"OMG NEWB CKY IS FOUL AND XXX IS PORN!!! AND THC IS DRUGS!!!! MUST CHANGE IT BEFORE THE NIGHTMIST COMMUNITY GETS ANY WORSE THAN THEY ALREADY ARE!!!!"

ermmm.......yeah.....

and who says JLH doesn't stand for "Just Like Heroin?" CKY in that guys name might stand for, "Carl is Knowledgable Ya'll"....... it could be abbriviations of anything, so why moan about it. This kid wanted to know why his crit name was changed, not a whole lecture on drugs and sex.... jeez
