X Theme Weeks

In Luke's case, the people playing should identify who they are in his thread after the name changes. It wouldn't take much for whoever's playing to say "Gee, I'm regularily Colonel Skills" or whoever the heck they are.

I, for one, like changing my name all the time and I get the admins to do it on a somewhat regular basis. I think it's silly not to allow it. It just takes a little bit of effort from the member who's name has been changed to inform everyone of who he is.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Then it wouldn't have been AC0 week though. =o The entire point is our silly fandom of the game.

Luke, the 30 or so of us who went through the name changes seem to find it worth it. Since it's only for a week at a time and this sort of thing doesn't even happen very often, I fail to see what the big deal is. I had to look up some people for a_week too, but I'm not complaining. It's all in fun. At worst, it's a minor inconvience to some people and even then it shouldn't be much of a huge deal. New names are being recognized all the time when new people post or when someone changes their name in some other manner. I fail to see how this is any different.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I actually completely forgot about Crash's random name change week. That's a *really* good point.

On a side note, GELB-2 is coming off a tad hostile here but I can assure you he doesn't mean to sound like that. It's just that after we tried really hard to get sigs and avatars going for 30+ people and got an admin to go to the trouble of name changes for us, we get crapped on immediately by people when other weeks have been proposed that do similar things.

I guess when you don't enjoy the subject matter like some others do I guess you can not like it, but personally I don't have any trouble telilng the different people apart.

This is no different than the nick command in IRC, instead of a whois, check our profile or that master name list. You'll figure it out right away.

Why is this a big deal?

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

Yeah, what the rest of the squad said. The names will only be like this for another couple days, so it's not much longer that you're going to be inconvienced. You may be confused because we've had our avatars up for a little longer though.

Your other questions have been covered, I think. The point is because we like the game and because we feel like geeking out about it a bit. blah blah all that crap.

Blaming us for GFF's annual spring slump seems a tad harsh though Crash. ;_;

How ya doing, buddy?
