Ok, so I've had the name Broadcast since about the game first launched. Up until advanced gang controls came out along with more common Eve Voice/TS/Vent usage, this was fine.... but now I keep on seeing my name in chats:
Player A: where is fleet? Player B: see broadcast Me (just joining chat): for what? Player A: stfu
hearing in TS:
"Broadcast primary please" "Broadcast remote reps" "Broadcast on TS" "Broadcast, if you need armor..."
and having to pay extra attention to make sure it's not me that's being called.... You think I can petition CCP for a name change and would let me rename the character to something other than Caldari Citizen54593 or xXBroadcastXx? Something of my choosing perhaps, maybe make a condition that my bio always reads "This character was formerly known as Broadcast"? Or should I petition CCP to change the word Broadcast in gang controls to Transmit? Please CCP? You did it for Kenzoku, this is light years smaller than that!

I saw the greatest broadcast the other day on the tv, it was about this radio show which would broadcast intercepted military broadcasts in code so that allies would pick up the broadcasts of the enemy broadcasts from the radio broadcast, and here I was watching the people reading the broadcast of a broadcast on a broadcast on my tv!

Sell your character then buy a new one. You could probably get a lot for a high sp character with an awesome name.

while you can possibly sell your character for quite a lot, i understand perfectly what you mean. you invested time and effort into making you who you are, and by selling it its like giving yourself up.
try a petition, but if it doesnt work, learn to live with it |

Well, it could be worse. You could've called yourself Primary, Secondary, Gate or Bubbled.
"Primary is Secondary, Secondary is Bubbled" "....so who's the secondary?" "He's Bubbled" "Yes, fine, but who is it?" "Forget that, he's down, Primary is now Bubbled, Secondary is Gate" "? Are you taking the pee?"

And now you know why you don't call targets by name alone.
If the target is called WarpAway in a Raven and a second target is called Raven in an Apoc then the FC will call "Primary is WarpAway, whisky-alpha-romeo in a Raven. Secondary is Raven, romeo-alpha-victor in an Apoc. Repeat..."
That gives you a) more then one chance to hear what he's saying b) you don't have problems discerning between people called "Fictor" or "Victor" c) the ship type gives you a third indicator as to whether you're shooting the right person
It's does start sucking as soon as you have people called things like "Raven" and a second one called "R4ven" and a third one called "Ravennn" though. |

No, you just say "target is in Broadcast". And then the op would go: "In...me..?..?!"
