#59650, "My next character name..."


          

Is going to have sixteen syllables. Trying to find and correctly spell the name of someone attacking me has been made extremely difficult with 11+ letter names. Time to work on my macros I guess

Trying not to die

Ie. "murder ath" works just as well as "murder athioles".

My only complaint is when their name starts with like "gua" and I end up attacking a guard they're standing next to. But that's not their fault, it's mine for being lazy.

3 letters works fine except where someone intentionally tries to exploit the mechanic.
