I made a new character named Leahcim Nadroj. You see, Leachim is from the Egyptian word Ma-Leach(worker) and my character is going to be strictly a crafter so this fits well. Nadroj is self explanatory, a neighboring country to Egypt.

The charges have been thrown out, as it is self-evident what the name spells backwards. It is effectively asked and answered. Or to restate it to be in keeping with the DMO theme, it has been axed and answered.

All that remains is whether the accused intended to use the name backwards, but there is no way to determine intent. The court is loathe to ascribe a mental state with no facts in evidence, and so the case is dismissed with prejudice.
Okay, so you're literally straight facing the court here and finally. FINALLY. fucking admitting that Ramal Modo is Lamar Odom. And NOW what you're on about is that you TOTALLY didn't intend that to be Lamar Odom it just fucking accidentally happened.

Okay. THANK YOU. WE ARE MAKING PROGRESS IN YOU RIDICULOUS DEFLECTIONS AND EVASIONS.

Furthermore, the charges have not been dismissed as you are not the court. The court is an amalgam of the people. You are not allowed to investigate yourself and find no wrong doing, you god damn wally.

How stupid do you think we all are? I mean, I know how stupid you think we all are, because we didn't go to Cornell. I know that. But now that you've finally fucking admitted that your name is the basketball player's name backwards, your new defense is that you fucking picked it ENTIRELY by accident.

Not a single god damn person in this court believes you. Find me a person that believes you. Call your character witnesses.

Okay I confused you with Ramal. Disregard my entire post.

The charges stand as no admission of guilt has been sofar made. The court proceeds.

So the court only ends if the person admits to guilt. Sounds like the dictionary definition of a kangaroo court. Or would it be a wildebeest court? Not sure what the African counterpart to a kangaroo would be.

The case has already been thrown out as no facts have been entered into evidence to show that the person both knew and intended to be named after a bakketbawl player. Court is adjourned, no tag backs.

Well really on P99 the fact is is that the GMs are judge, jury, and executioner. There is no jury of peers.

If the enforcement of the rules were consistent, the name Ramal Modo is banned simply because it is a famous person backwards. Period. No need for admission of guilt or "proof." We all know it's not a coincidence though lol

It is only recently that I found out people actually keep a list of names that violate the naming policy and they are only enforced when whistleblowers inform the staff. I can't (can) believe that a group of sycophantic nerds actually does this. They should focus on getting XP (which something tells me they struggle to do)

The naming policy should be modified to something that can be consistently enforced. Vulgarity is a no brainier.

"Ramal Modo" could very well be an Erudite name, it should actually -not- be banned simply because it's a basketball players name backwards. It's actually clever. Also, how many neckbeards can name NBA players in the first place, let alone backwards. In addition, in "classic" people had these types of names all the time.

The thing is - there is a ton of stupid rule lawyering on this server and "the rules are the rules" with no jury of peers. Rule lawyering non-offensive obscure names is ridiculous. However, "the rules are the rules" just like fighting over camps and mobs, and we make the bed we sleep in.
