I don't know if it's me but I'm noticing a lot of copy catting. Of those that take the names of good people or good clans and try to take something that wasn't theres. Namely a set reputation. And use it to make themselves better or show off.

For instance. Someone tried to make off with Devout. That's was dumb. Another person is taking the name Illuminati and playing it off as an original thing. When everyone knows the person behind illuminati was william aka Anarchy whom is offline for a while. or all these lil "guardian's of hell, assassins of hell" I mean sheesh.. there is only one true Hell clan! that's the one I'm in started by Ryan and Joel aka Firewater and Kazul. or the Viva La Resistance clan??? Sorry there is only one true Resistance.. And that's headed up by Jen aka Kalypso

Does it really hurt to be original and stand out? Does being imaginative really fry that many brain cells to come up with original clan names?

so you're saying that it is now wrong to have Hell in a clan name JUST because somebody else is using that word? you're saying that it is wrong to have resistance in your clan name JUST because of TR?

fair enough if somebody is pretending to be somebody else, then yer, it's stupid, but if somebody just made that name because wanted to, why do you have to take a dig at them? I think what you're saying is kinda silly to be honest.

You can't go on about people making clans with the name 'hell' in them and call them copy catters. Hell is used in many games for guilds/clans/societys in many games and there clan isn't like Hell II. That would be 'copy catting' as you call it.

Viva La Resistance was made by a TR member too I believe. You made this post seem pretty childish to me. =-/

hmm I think you missed my point. I'm talking about those that make clans and immulate the other clans.

And the bigger issue of "copycatting" is name stealing..theres alot of people with names that they didnt "grow" up with..nothin you can do and its no biggie anyhow

now its into where after big charecters give up the game other come in behind them and take there names.Ontop of that they go and try to sell the old name ive seen some sell for up to 50k thats not alot but id say they are making a silly profit.
Ive given it some thought and really cant think of somthing to do about it.When i first started my first charecter was Samus_One. I didnt even know there was a Samus but with the current Page bug no one could ever page Samus. I quickly deleted the crit after i learned my disrespect.

Try sharing a name with a bunch of dumbarses and a pop singer >.< lol One day if I never get settled into this name of mine, I shall legally change it to Zellish and kick anyone ass who think they can do the same. I have no arguement here, except maybe that one time some newb tried to bring back Hopelessly Dazed and Confused *laughs*

lol You don't know my name? I share it with Mr. Justin Timberlake of course and that lil Aidon character who happens to be staff <<. I really don't like other people with my name, but if I get it changed to something less people would consider using I would be able to like more people.

All of you are trying to be smart asses and are over looking the matter at hand. She is saying that people shouldn't make names for the purpose of taking over anothers persons rep.

It doesn't say "You have been banned from the game" it says "You must've done something very bad to have been banned" Or something along the lines of that...

If i'm wrong please correct me, but last time I was banned it said that.

The person that has the crit Demon is my Friend Shannon. We joke about how when ppl go to kiss me.. they kiss him. Since I also have the crit name Demoness he is afraid I'll just make it worse. However. Demonskys was derived from a poem that caught my attention a friend wrote.

You're the Demon in my Skys
The passion in my wind
The one I dream of late at night
The only answer to my pray
My guardian, My avenger

Forsaking all that calls to me
I await the soft sirens song

it goes on but that's all I can remember at this time.
