Can we change our username

[Donempire]

I'm pretty sure we cant but if we can.. i'd really like to change it to something a bit less nonsensical or at least appropriate.

[Ircher]

Please no.

People read old games, and changing usernames does not change the name in quotes. Furthermore, usernames are a key identification mechanism, and I don't want to have trouble knowing who is who in a mafia game because someone decided it was a good idea to change usernames during a game.

It's better to make a new account and put the name of the previous account in your sig.

Uh...can I have your name?

[PJ.]

You can be panzerjager. It's a good name

Try here! I don't think you can, though.
You can also make an alt (register it under Dongempire) and I believe you can ask that it becomes your new main account.

Good luck!

Just make a new account

Eventually you'll get back to the track

[Annadog40]

You can't change your name and name requests are generally rejected.

Alt would be the best bet.

[RadiantCowbells]

Make a new account called DragonEmpire pls

[ClearlyClarity]

Name checks out

Borkempire too obvious?

[Donempire]

Uh...can I have your name?

ya sure, if you want you can also take the curse which makes me roll vanilla town every game as well, im pretty sure its bound to this account

[RadiantCowbells]

'curse'

why would you want to be not vanilla

[RadiantCowbells]

if i could press a button that made sure i rolled VT in all my games i would do it in a heartbeat

[Donempire]

Make a new account called DragonEmpire pls

Alright, done.

Borkempire too obvious?

It wasnt, so im gonna make that account now

Well, even if i didnt change this accounts name, i have two new alt accounts to cheat with! That is, if i hadnt revealed them so haphazardously here... oh well=(

[Donempire]

'curse'

why would you want to be not vanilla

cause i've already been vanilla
i've rolled scum, three times in 30 something games on this site, and rolled power role in non bastard games maybe 4 or 5 times, rest have been vanilla and i want to play something instead of this vicious cycle

[Kublai Khan]

I'm figuring that Don Gempire made the same discovery.

I asked literally a month ago and they said no

[Ircher]

The policy has been (predating me) that we generally don't allow name changes because it messes with the history of the site. In some respects, this may be exactly the reason you likely want your name changed rather than taking the avenue easily available by creating a new alt. You want to keep your post history and so forth. But if Parama becomes ElrondHubbard, that becomes very confusing to anyone who goes back and sees Parama referenced. For better or worse, this is a mafia site where people dig through old games and posts quite a bit more than your usual forum.

We allow alts to become mains and join any part of the site. So if you want to become ElrondHubbard, create and alt and ask a mod to change your name to the main.

This isn't necessarily a policy I'm super attached to or anything, but I've yet to see a very compelling reason to deviate from it either. We have changed names on an individual basis when there's been a particular reason to that individual (and also sometimes for new players).
