Roxanna Kell Holy Jihad	Posted - 2006.09.14 01:28:00 - [62] Originally by: Damion Zyne Originally by: Roxanna Kell Originally by: Damion Zyne Huh ? Someone in a corp called "Holy Jihad" is complaining about names? it does say whining at the thread name, so if you dont like it, read my quote. I dont mind whining. All these whining thread make me in fact smile. Dont like the corp name though for various reasons. One beeing that it means holy "holy war" which is quite stupid if you ask me. Political correct peeps might also have problems with jihad beeing particular the holy war of muslims against unbelievers. Dont care much about this though. Just wonder if this is your idea of a "cool" name. holy war is the muslim fight againt the non believers that agressed muslims. as in conquered their country. anything else is wrong, read a koran section about it, there are lots of enlgish translatiogn of it out there.

Also I¦m not a muslim scholar. Fact is that at least in the western world (fex. see Oxford English Dictionary,) jihad is understand as meaning holy war (you confirmed it in your own post). So the corp still mean holy holy war. One holy would serve the cause I would think.

flummox Circle of Jerks	Posted - 2006.09.14 19:45:00 - [70] Originally by: Roxanna Kell Originally by: flummox Originally by: Roxanna Kell CCP should ve done what guild wars has done, First name and second name. you may have a middle name too. but youc an be called, James only. secondly they disallowed numbers. this should ve been done by CCP at the start, but its too late now. no. sit down. i was gonna call you names, than i saw your corp name you should have called me names. everyone knows that's how you win an arguement. either that or punching someone in the face. those two tactics always win... but, seriously, if you can't tell, i'm pretty much against the "must have first and last name" idea... ... bring me my cheese...

Dred 'Morte Sabre Inc Center for Disease Creation	Posted - 2006.09.14 20:02:00 - [71] Originally by: Nikolai Nuvolari "Nikolai Nuvolari" was my first choice. Admittedly, you have to be a loonie like me to use a Russian first name and an Italian last name for a character whose race's language is a hybrid of Japanese and Finnish...but hey, maybe everyone should be a little less l33t and a little more crazy. Correct I named my character after Shai 'Hulud (Dune name, I know). He's my idol in EVE . May not be as famous as Stavros, but IMHO, he's one of the most creative and coolest characters that ever existed. Too bad he stopped playing EVE. Signature made by Mr Floppykickners
Locke DieDrake Port Royal Independent Kontractors Imperial Republic Of the North	Posted - 2006.09.14 20:15:00 - [72] I'm not worried about character names. But because you can't delete a corp, or in fact change the name/ticker of a corp there are some pretty limited options when picking a ticker. Oruborus was a name I once thought of using for a corp. (in fact I did on an alt) But you can't use ORB, ORU or any other reasonably related ticker because they are all taken. Now, if those are active corps. Thats all good. But corps with no active memebers should be deleted from the name pool. OR Allow special characters in corp names and tickers. Such as Paradigm spelled as P▲radigm. With ticker P▲. But you can't do that. You can type it in, and the game accepts it. But the server rejects the name as illegal. ___________________________________________ The deeper you stick it in your vein, the deeper the thoughts there's no more pain. ___________________________________________
Naim Obeji Minmatar Shiva Morsus Mihi	Posted - 2006.09.14 21:09:00 - [73] I agree with the OP for the most part...maybe because I ran into the problem of having the name I wanted to use taken and not wanting to bastardize it to make it work. I'd love to know who has "Dogmatix" and if they are active..heheh. I've never seen them online...lol. I used the name for several years in another gaming community and a lot of those people have now migrated to this game. I just wonder how much it might help the database if characters and their assets (if any..in station...out in space) were deleted after a period of inactivity. Maybe this is already done...I don't know.
Gretchen Dawntreader Minmatar Brutor tribe	Posted - 2006.09.14 21:26:00 - [74] the idea about "people on inactive accounts can lose their names and if so will get a temp name and be prompted for a new name on return" could be abused by people to get around the No-Name-Change policy, which is supposed to keep people from escaping past misdeeds. 1. I scam everyone for eleventy-trillion isk 2. I cancel my account 3. My buddy after the grace period makes an alt with my old name 4. I reactivate and pick a new name
Feline Ferocity Caldari The Establishment Establishment	Posted - 2006.09.15 19:38:00 - [75] Originally by: Damion Zyne Huh ? Someone in a corp called "Holy Jihad" is complaining about names? Lol! ------- We need a YEAR without ANY 'new content'. Nothing but BUG FIXES. New content that does not work is WORTHLESS.
Maestro Ta'rai	Posted - 2006.09.17 14:02:00 - [76] CCP do delete characters from the DB and they can be well over 1 million sp. I Didn't use my old "main" for a long long time and admittedly completely forgot the username and password, so I searched for him on the off chance that he still existed. He didn't, so I made him again.. he is kinda crap now though and only serves to as caretaker whilst we play elsewhere. The info on the corp Phaze-9 shows this, Founder and CEO, same name but if you click the info, two very different pilots. Everywhere I look, people all say CCP doesnt wipe characters. I beg to differ, not that im complaining.
