Name conversion?

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

I've been considering this for a while now.

Would you guys like to convert from using screen names (eg. Mr Mxyzptlk) to your real names (or an alias) in the sim (eg. Liam Camps)?

I prefer to see scorecards with actual names on it as I think it both looks better and definitely more realistic. So what do you all think? Stick with the screen names or convert to real names?

 

[Loony BoB]

I'd get a little confused with everyone calling me my real name rather than my real name - I only really get called Daniel online when it's someone who's taken the time to get to know me. Personally, I'd rather Loony BoB, but if we have to submit our real names I guess I'd adapt. But it should definitely be an option - I think it was when I joined, not sure about the older chaps.

If we do go ahead with this, though, please can you list who is who? I still don't know who's who in my own team some of the time!

 

[age_master]

im sure that would be done

it would take time to get used to but i like the idea

 

[steds]

I think it is a good idea. However, it might be hard to find everyones real names and remember them when you are used to calling them something else or you are knew

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

A cheat sheet of who's who will definitely be listed.

 

[Simon]

it wouldnt effect me really anyway, most people call me Simon anyway....

but i guess we could change em...

 

[Neil Pickup]

Definitely agree... would look that bit more refined, especially with a few middle initials thrown in. Not that it would affect me...

Apologies to those who have had their middle initials randomly created!

Another idea chavved from the CWXI-Channel 9 Rebel Tour, I note.

 

[NikhilN]

A very good idea Liam, I like yours too Neil

 

[David]

Yes, I think that would be brilliant, everyone should use their real names IMHO.
BTW Neil FYI

[Mister Wright]

I think it is a great idea.

what's neil's idea i seem to be missing it on my computer.. can u enlighten me?

HAHA well my name wouldn't really change. I go under the alias of Ian Markus

 

[age_master]

lol


Neil suggested initials in there as well

 

[kears_falcon_9]

Well my name is David Kearlsey and my CW Black name is David Kearsley so it wont change much for me but yes i like the idea that every one will be the same.

 

[Blewy]

Yeah i'd like that for sure...

 

[masterblaster]

Yeah, I wouldn't mind converting to my real name to be honest. I wasn't Master Blaster on the rebel tour, so yeah, I wouldn't mind at all.

 

[thewizard1o1]

I like Neils idea of the initials, makes it look more like a real cricket scorecard. Since i already use my real name it doesn't really bother me...

Oh and Neil love your initials

 

[marc71178]

The S stands for "Sadsack"

 

[Adamc]

Good idea IMO. AAA Collins for me.

 

[Jamee999]

*must resist*Noo! *must resist*

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Sure, I'd like it to be changed - but only if you can force the simulator to print the "ø" in H Mørk, mind

(no initials here, sadly)
