Iencier Senti	Posted - 2007.12.10 20:12:00 - [1] Edited by: Iencier Senti on 10/12/2007 20:14:15 Now before you come to my house and slap me, saying: "This isn't a PVP thread you ****!" I'm posting here because I want to know if I'm the only character left whose name does not refer to genitals, sexual deceases or just plain bad cases of an immature mind. I'm relatively new to EVE, or I would be if you consider how amazingly bad my progression have been, but in the six months it has taken me to gain 1,1 million (Yes, MILLION!) SP, every name I've seen has been "Myfootinyourass", "TubbyBob", or "Ibangyourmomandgiveyourdadahighfive". Maybe it's because every single corporation I have joined has consisted of pirates, but even the dumbest names in WoW at least has a resemblance to the game: (i.e. Hordeslayer or Imapriest). Is this restricted to the hardcore PvP'ers in the 0.0 zones only? It seems that 'seriousness' (if you can call it that) seems to fade along with security. I somehow feel like an idiot out there in the kindergarten with the only name that doesn't have any meaning or relation to obscurity... And since I've been so wise to relentlessly stomp in the hornets' nest, feel free to flame me.
Arii Smith Caldari StarHunt Fallout Project	Posted - 2007.12.10 20:18:00 - [2] Edited by: Arii Smith on 10/12/2007 20:18:48 You start the same with 1.1m SP, I am calling bull**** because outside of cancelling the game the day you started and never training a single skill this is not possible. Which makes you just a troll. EDIT: What I am trying to figure out is why you would LIE about how big of a noob you are?

Arii Smith Caldari StarHunt Fallout Project	Posted - 2007.12.10 20:26:00 - [6] TL;DR, I only went far enough to get the jist of it. Assuming you are asking "why does everyone have a joke name?" because this game has NO RP whatsoever. The game is all about out-of-game tactics, it is hard to roleplay a fleet-fight with 100 dudes some of whom have female avatars all talking in vent calling primary etc. This game is about mechanics not RP, so as a result people make funny names because they want their character to be memorable/funny.

Thank you Sir! I just wanted an answer since my general perception of EVE isn't exactly very thorough.

Val Vympel	Posted - 2007.12.10 20:37:00 - [10] Alas,The day may come(doubtful) when MMO's will never allow "leet" or "uncapitalized" or "numbers" or "childish toilet humor" names What a grand leap forward for the MMO genre. I would like to see a game where you had to choose your name from a "name generator" provided by the game...NO other option. I've debated this before on forums,and my opnion never changes. The only "positive" that I have been able to come up with concerning current MMO naming allowances is,it readily indicates the players I do not wish to socialize with. Cheers

Easy there kiddo, you pack too much fudge in your lunch this morning or something? Ease off the red meat. Sure ppl take it seriously (or about as seriously as you should take a video game, which isn't too much). Maybe your just in an area full of silly cats like this guy quoted above. Eve is bringing in more ppl, and that has resulted in much more piracy, or at least newb pilots who want to be pirates. But theres plenty of ppl out there, huge corps and alliances, who are more dedicated and 'serious' players.

Kruel Beyond Divinity Inc	Posted - 2007.12.10 20:43:00 - [13] Originally by: Iencier Senti "Ibangyourmomandgiveyourdadahighfive" Lol, wish I'd thought of that one. Would make a great alt.
Neon Genesis The Landed Gentry	Posted - 2007.12.10 20:53:00 - [14] I don't think we really have to be serious in an online game. _
SloBones mUfFiN fAcToRy	Posted - 2007.12.10 21:04:00 - [15] Edited by: SloBones on 10/12/2007 21:06:06 Yeah I don't see to many stupid name. Yes some of my alts have names that are silly, but those are alts. Most people I fly with take the game seriously and really who cares what their name is? So you are saying that if my name was "pewpewonyourmomwithyourlittlesisterwatching" was my name that I wouldn't take the game seriously? Maybe I am a hardcore industrialist character that wanted to stand out with the name. Don't judge a book by the cover. edit silly since other word got modded
Der Prophet Minmatar Macabre Votum Imperial Republic Of the North	Posted - 2007.12.10 21:19:00 - [16] Seeing as it is a GAME I don't see why it matters...people want to play and name their characters how they want? Tough cookies buttercup. Quote: I would like to see a game where you had to choose your name from a "name generator" provided by the game...NO other option. At the above quote... BIG BROTHER SAYS YOU HAVE NAME OF ULKHAR THE SLAYER OR YOU NO PLAY GAME! Yeah...right. Sales would plummet faster then a fat kid chasing a doughnut over a bridge..

BIG BROTHER SAYS YOU HAVE NAME OF ULKHAR THE SLAYER OR YOU NO PLAY GAME! Yeah...right. Sales would plummet faster then a fat kid chasing a doughnut over a bridge.. Good points..I've argued them before will do it again. 1. It matters because there is a backstory. If you RP then it matters,if you don't then it shouldn't matter anyway...your only interested in the mechanics...right? 2.What people WANT is irrelevant.People didn't WANT a carrier nerf..people didn't WANT the new Gallente color scheme...people don't WANT the Amarr in the condition they are in. Has that changed CCP's choices one iota? Tough cookies there Twinkletoes 3.Big Brother(MMO's)make decisions all the time where you have no choice or option. I don't see this fact affecting sales,somehow I don't think the dev's at CCP or Blizzard are eating government cheese or ramen noodles every night...just a guess?? If people like the game,they will play it.Irregardless of the terms of play. There are enough "Minmatar citizen 09282006 etc. around that prove me correct. A GAME it is we agree. Enjoy and have fun

Been using it ever since.

Plaetean Murder-Death-Kill	Posted - 2007.12.11 01:02:00 - [27] Just a quick word of advice.. take a lot more consideration before joining your next corporation. Corps in eve are different to guilds in WoW. -----

Not common enough slang to be in a dictionary or Wiki...but I have heard it used in that context several times.
