yeah, first thought that came to my mind when I read that was 'script kiddies are writing the news now?'
god help us all if that's the calibre of "news" reporting they expected in the contest.

Quote:
So?
Well unless I missed the point of the original post, the complaint was that the standard of reporting was low, and the main reason cited was the use of the name Bl3ach. This was followed by a comment implying that if names like this were being used then script kiddies were writing the news.
The point made was that the writer of the news didn't make the name up, this is player driven story. It just so happens that one of the players driving it (I taught him everything he knows btw  ) has a name with a number in it. Not ideal, but not the fault of the writer, or a player who named himself 9 months before he made the news.
Does that answer your question?

It destroys all form of RP(what little we even have) when names like that are used in news reports.. If you've ever played a hardcore online RPG(be it MMO or not) there are usually strict name rules enforced, particularily when characters are to take part in game storylines..
GMs and Devs seem to have no problem changing player's names based on their(the GMs and Devs) religious/political/moral beliefs; apply that to RP as well..
No more 1337 D00Dz in the News

Well, "Studid names" that's a bit relative isn't it? What you think is cool someone else thinks of as the utter low of humanity....
I'm not supporting this (I don't like "l33t" names either in RP) but CCP didn't make a policy of having "believable" names at the start so here we are 12 months since release and guess what? We can't change this now so we'll have to make due with all the l33t guys out there that chose to be l33t.....
did I say l33t? 
No seriously it's too late....this is a player driven game so eventually someone with a name like this would have to make the news.

So, in this sci-fi game that presumably takes place in the future there is no possibility that there is a young person that finds it cool to spell their name wackily? Or call themselves Bleach in the first place...or Tease. If this were a historical period game that took place before our modern pop culture maybe that would be slightly valid, although I don't see how a person's name can "destroy" anything. I'd be more interested in their reporting on the EVE world. I think the quality of someone's work will tell me more than how they spelled their name. |

Oh yeah and the title is spot on.It is a new low!!To think someone that has a letter in thier name should be any less able to write or be in the news is just idiotic(new low).Who knows maybe the guy wanted the name,though someone had alrdy used it. One of the most easy ways to remedy this is to add a 3 for the E. Also I play alot of online games, u might want to get used to people using them type of scripts. I would just get over it, Who knows what names will look like or if they will even container letters in future. lol.This is funniest/sadest/worst post ever congrats on that.

some of you people have actually asked ccp to write
real-game news that involve players and alliances and such,
instead of their usual story-related stuff
now get this, it's the players who name themselves and they should be blamed,
although, from my expirience even some players with rather dumb names
can be pretty good roleplayers.

Or after an obscure Scottish bagpipe band
Seriously though Bl3ach, despite being a evil Minmatar, is actually in no way a script kiddie and actually takes his RP very seriously now.
He - like many others - created their accounts back in May 2003 - and he like many others had no idea that he would end up in a roleplay corp being quoted in the news.
I don't know what inspired him to put the '3' in his name but people shouldn't be excluded because of it (at least not until CCP can give us an option to make slight changes to names).
The news last night was an attempt by CCP to inject real in game events into the news and that should be welcomed by all who play this game - after all you never know when your own name will be put up in lights

I always think of the name "Bl3ach" as an alias.
Presumably, as an ebil terrorist, he wouldn't want people knowing his real name, as that could lead to reprisals against his relatives that are still slaves (not that I'm condoning such actions ).

Well, it could be after the explorer Oscar von Beringe, the first european to see mountain gorillas(which he then shot).
But since we're talking about RP here, I'll say it's from Planescape. Beringe of the Revolutionary League: The Neutral Evil character who's always buying meals for the homeless.

It may just be a name, so were all the names changed buy GMs and/or Devs for equally silly reasons. Must the silliness be encouraged by allowing leet-speak in the news? I, and many others, find "leet" names much more offensive than someone calling himself "Satan"(or whatever name he had before the Devs changed it to something pro-christian, lookup the thread if you're interested).
Nobody's seriously suggesting that certain types of names should be outlawed, or at least I'm not, but idiotic names should be left out of the news. If I had done something which warranted my name, or my corp's name being mentioned in the news and the writing staff felt it didn't fit in with the RP aspect, I'd have no problem with them using a different name, or referring to it as a "callsign".
The leet crap in the news just looks unprofessional, infantile and, as you said, silly.

I agree somwhat.
I agree l33tspeak is something that i dont like much.
Neither do I like furry people that eat sandwiches in yellowstone park.
It's got no bearing on the game.
Anyway, whomever decided that roleplay needs to make use of those middle-earth like silly named and words anyway.
It's not like the people of eve wouldnt have evolved since leaving the middle ages behind would they ?
Maybe l3et names are common in theEve universe, and were somewhat of a fad with ex-cons or something.
RP is about imagination, not about doing a bad accent or calling yourself Lord. Thats one thing I like even less.

Phew I held off from commenting on this thread, and I daresay I am going to wish I hadn't bothered, but we don't always manage to keep quiet when perhaps we should.
First thing, yes leet names do sometimes spoil the immersion with rp, and I have always found leet speak and the alternating caps thing varies from mildy amusing to intensely irritating, depending on the phases of the moon. ( or my moods hehe )
I think this criticism is just plain snobbery, it's not like one leet name mentioned in a single news article is going to destroy Eves RP reputation forever. Especially when that article actually focuses on an ingame RP event, it is actually promoting RP not detracting from it at all.
I think had these criticisms come from upstanding pillars of the RP community I might be a little more concerned, but as it stands I fail to see it as anything more than random venting.

Never, ever seen you in the RP channels many of the people who've been "randomly venting" hang out in.
Or is there a snobbish "official" channel we're supposed to take part in so we can earn the honor of being labelled as an upstanding pillar in a community we already participate in?

My estimations of the gm's went down hill when i saw one calling someone a n00b once.
Being around at the dawn of fps games, and when word came about, and what it realy means, it's nothing short of ****e.
Still the i expect it to get worse and worse with every new player that comes along, and eve becomes popular culture.
The days before the elite kids were so much fun

If you by 'upstanding pillar' mean elitist clique with a vague sense of self in need of re-inforcing by strict racial restrictions, instead of the more important basic character guidelines to help promote roleplay, then perhaps Gradient fit the bill...
L33ts are people in serious need of a name generator tool as their imagination suck but upon being called on it won't ever admit this to be so. It's about as cool as that guy Bubba Sparxxx, spelling his name with the triple x's signifying sex, booze, the unknown, oh, mysterious man, pure class! That never gets old...
That's a major improvement this game could really use, the name generator.

Oh dear now I find myself responding you, well I suppose it really is a slippery slope.
Notice that I said 'RP community' when mentioning upstanding pillars of, because there is a difference, and so far the people I consider to be respected members of the RP community haven't criticised the use of Bl3ach's name.
Then again perhaps that's because they actually know him, and know not to judge his roleplay qualities just by his name. As for not seeing me in any of the RP channels you frequent, I could say the same to you.
Oh and that's your lot as they say, I've said what I think, and I'm not interested in semantics, or diagnosis of why I hold my opinions, them there's my views like them or lump them they aren't about to change.

What difference is it you're referring to?
Are you saying that unless people RP in Gradient-sponsored channels they aren't members of the 'RP community', or that people not in *your* 'RP Community' have no right to criticize the use of leet names in the storyline news?
And you called us snobs? jeez

See, there's the other problem which is outside of this discussion and should be held for another thread. Suffice it to say that the "RP news" rarely, if ever, represents the majority of Eve players.

And neither will mine. I'm not egotistical enough to think anything I say is going to sway anyone's opinions or views. Unlike some people ;)
