Well, the point was that it's a real surname that sounds very necromancer-y. Also if they allow "murder" in names but not "kill" that would be even stupider. Arbitrary rules like that make me just want to pick a funny illegal name instead.

I mean it's obvious they don't care when half the BotB winners have infringing names and the GMs just give them titles. I know that's not really the right forum to make them change. My point is they are clearly aware of their existence and do nothing to enforce their "rules".

Twitchin Aint'Ez was also given a GM-approved surname despite infringing the rules. To make things worse, he's not even a necromancer. If he was a necromancer I'd be okay with it, but because he's not, I feel incredibly angry just thinking about him

I reported two names yesterday, and man, let me tell you how hard it was to type out those petitions through the blur of my tears. It was rough, but I persevered by the Grace of God.

Thank you for your thoughtful post in my thread.

I'm just mad that they won't let me name my necro Mortimer Killingsworth because you can't have kill in your name or something.

There's no rule that says you can't have kill in your name. Are you sure it wasn't some other reason?

It's not listed as a rule, but it will always be rejected. I.e. I type /surname Killingsworth, hit enter, get message that this name is not allowed. I petitioned that it should be allowed, but, per guidelines, they "will not give you a name that has been rejected".

To test whether "kill" is the trigger I tried to make a new char named something like Killadfigadofgij and no matter what random string of letters it's always rejected.

damn grown adults upset about names in a 22 year old elf simulator, that's wild.
