that's funny jimjam i think you are right

Classic name enforcement was a mix of nuking deliberately stupid names chosen by 12 year-olds itching to prove they were stupid, and random bullshit with no rhyme or reason. I remember a troll warrior I knew named Scumbag being forced to change his name because it was "offensive", meanwhile various NPCs are yelling "Scumsucker!" at the players thousands of times per day.

So, we've got the combo of 50 year-olds being hit for proving they're able to be just as stupid as any 12 year-old and some random others being victims of caprice on the part of the staff, it's as classic as classic can be.

Except some of these names have been running around for 7 years. That's why this is upsetting for many here atm.

Consistency is the lather which keeps all calm.

Well, I am sure Sirmightydingus, upon logging in for retrieval of his corpse in BB, will be pretty happy.

Unless they are still purging, of course.

Awfully quiet today, Baler. Did something sour all this for you?

nope, just being quiet.
 

Hahahhahahahahahaha

I wonder how the curator of the Museum of Baler (celebrating the history and culture of the Filipino town of Baler) would feel about all this. Some goof on the internet representing the whole darn town and it's peoples in such a ridiculous way. I bet they'd be offended. It would be a shame if they played p99. What a terrible position they'd be in. Unless of course they didn't have to see it anymore. Dead. To. Rights.

Ps none of my names have been changed
