X Theme Weeks

You know, to keep it as somewhat of a community themed event. =\

That would have been lame. It's ACE COMBAT WEEK not RANDOM GFF NONSENSE week.

People don't seem to realize we ALL took our callsigns out of the game. Schwarze Squadron really does have 8 members and so on.

And yeah, I personally like changing my name all the time. According to one of the mods I pretty much hold the GFF record for most user name changes, and I'm not stopping that any time soon.

I don't foresee there being tons of name change theme weeks in the future after this, so I think everyone who is complaining could at least try and grin and bear this for a few more days and then it's all over.

Bunch of fucking crybabies. >_O

Essentially, all I'm getting out of this thread is:

"Let's not let users on GFF have fun their way because I am a lazy bastard who dislikes a very, very irrelevant inconvenience."
"Hear hear!"

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Your suggestion amounts to taking away the freedoms that make this place so fucking awesome.

With a_week most people DID have names that described or helped describe them and did stuff like put their names in custom titles/sigs and shit, so that can't even be used as en example.

With this week I liked the whole anonymity factor, and the rest of us agreed it'd be better to ditch it all for seven days and have some fun while we could as a collective unit.

Again, it's only seven days and we're already halfway through.

ADDITIONALLY: BLARING IRONY from Crash Landon who wanted to conduct his own week where he would give almost A HUNDRED (three times more than AC0 week, mind you) users random names. You should just delete your post now because you have no right to even complain on this basis. Even if the names would be more variable, keeping track of a hundred of them would be much harder than this.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

a_week and AC0 week are the largest group name-swaps we've had to date and the confusion each brought is evident. Although a_week allowed most people to give subtle cues to their identity, some altered name owners were still difficult to identify. I had no idea that Merv was a_cat_is_fine_too because I was away from home and simply didn't get the joke.

AC0 Week is twice the confusion of a_week since there's next to zero personal clues or variation on the names used. What's the point of even having a name if it's not unique and nobody knows who the fuck you are without checking some distant thread for the secret decoder ring that deciphers the code?

Let it be said that I'm now kind of glad that my mass-name change was never implemented. After the head scratching AC0 Week has caused me, I'm tempted to call for a moratorium on name changes for the next 6 months.

The whole point, as has been stated, was to show our love for Ace Combat and to have some fun with the anonymity and act together as a single unit. Shit, most of us have gotten beyond attaching names to posts and just take what's been said at face value rather than who's saying it (though I can't speak on behalf of GALM-2). Why can't you? It's only a week, pansy.

Of course, there was one key element to my name-change project that would've differed greatly from the current chaos:

IT WOULD'VE ONLY LASTED ONE WEEK.

Wake up fuckhead, we may joke and call it Ace Combat ERA and all, but at the most these name changes will only last a week. There's no difference, so your point is moot.

Quote:

You know, maybe this shit's why GFF is in a slump at the moment. Because nobody knows who the fuck they're talking to anymore!

Seriously. You all like Ace Combat. Your point is crystal clear. Go buy a lollipop, suck on it for a while as a reward, and put your names back to normal so the rest of us don't have to play guessing games.

GFF is slow because everyone's too busy being assholes to one another to actually have fun like some of us are.

It's nice you approve of our love for Ace Combat, and I'll continue to show my love for it how I want to, and you can take your little ideas and suggestions about how we should go about it and what I should do here on GFF and shove it up your god damn ass.

Shit, we should keep the names longer than a week just to piss you bastards off.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Lol my ass. I'm not getting caught up in any of that nonsense outside of this thread.

Crash tries to slam us over something he himself was getting ready to do full on and much worse than us, so I'm not going to just lie down and take it.

So, ummm, lol?

Get out. I seriously don't intend to keep the name changes longer than a week.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Maybe if your post was longer than three words and was an actual explanation I might have gotten it.

Shit, I didn't know we were allowed to get away with blatant spam like that. Let me go into some thread an quote someone with "LMAO!", brb.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Sorry if it went over your head, though.

Disengage, NERD-1. If you're not going to be useful than stay out of the dogfight.

EDIT: Also, mad lolin @ the post below this one. Get off the earth already BZ.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I'm intimating that you're not useful, so we don't have to waste five posts getting you to understand what I'm saying.

Contrary to what you might think, my duty here is to shoot down trolls such as yourself. It's a very useful service if I might say so myself.

FELIPE NO

I'm glad you've finally come to your senses.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

No, you missed my point, NERD-1.

Do I have to give you the full course on Belkan War.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

There's nothing to be avoided in these here skies except missiles, FGT-1.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well... seeing as how they are faggots, and faggots are generally pretty useless, then yes. Yes I am.

How ya doing, buddy?

The glorious Belkan Air Force has no need for faggotry. FGT Squadron is a Sapin unit, and that country is pretty much cannon fodder.

Yeah, for a few weeks. It's currently set to stay Ray Prower until Skills and I think of something else. That's what I love about GFF, I can change my name to whatever I want, when I want, and there's no shortage of friends around here to give me ideas.

And way to hop the bandwagon after everyones left, Pang. AC0 week is over, name changes should be incoming soon.
