Incognito

In cog(ck) nito (neato)

OMG WAI IS THIS HANDLE ALLOWED

You can do that with most any name, if you have to go out of your way to change letters and remove or add letters its probably not an obvious name or one that would harm the CF fantasy reality.

It's very close indeed.

The main point being, drow are related to spiders. i.e. Arachnid.

And you were something that makes you think of Arachnid.

And Incognito is, indeed, chosen for its meaning. So it would be an unacceptable name in the game.

I wouldn't say I'm overreacting because, quite frankly, I don't care about the names. Unless you are called CockGobbler or something, it doesn't bother me. You want to be called "Titan" or something? Fine with me.

However, the imms have said they do care, and I'm surprised that that one got through.

I looked at the name for a while before clicking on your comment about it, trying to figure out what the issue might be. I decided that it must have been from some book or movie I wasn't familiar with, because I couldn't come up with anything about Anacrid that seemed off.

Arachnid seems like quite a stretch. Quite a stretch.

And it didn't occur to me at all. Saying 'Arachnid' is totally overreacting.

To me, Anacrid and Aracnid (ok, without the "h") sound and look very similiar, in the context of someone being one of a spider-loving race.

Apparently not to everyone else though, which would be the answer to my question.

The r and the n.

That is pretty close, even if unintentional.

But subconsciously, maybe I thought it would be cool.

Besides, even if I consciously thought of "Arachnid", this was one of my favorite names. Just rolls off the tongue.

I was expecting big things from you. Your RP was on point and you seemed to have a high level of pk experience. Lame. So so lame. Of all the new arrivals you are the last one I expected to delete so quick. What up?

Just couldn't get into the RP - if I don't like the RP or just not my style, the character's not going to last long. Deleted before wasting more time.
