Hello everyone,

A few of you will surely know me, but haven't seen me in a minute.

I planned on playing JKA on my limited free time (once every 3 months or so) but Rougue had an issue with my name. Since he gave me no reason why he told me to change it I'll let him explain what it was and why it upset him so much. The word means a lot to me, and in a very positive way.

I told him no.

He changed it for me. Well within his grandmaster powers. I let him have the W.

I then changed my name from livid to Hail Victory and won 50 duels in a row against 5 different opponents effortlessly, I couldn't find Rougue, Probably whimpering in a corner behind his console.

- At one point I said "Butt Hole" and was immediately silenced for bypassing the filter.

I never once got chat filtered, I said it in a playful manner, and your boy wouldn't even accept an apology. I went in to have fun and got nuked for my beliefs. By someone that probably dresses up in women's clothing. (lol)

I don't really care if y'all do anything. Personally I thought the interaction was hilarious. That whole: "Tell me your an ideological authoritarian with out telling me you're an ideological authoritarian."

Your boys a wimp (at best)

Hey bud, welcome to the forums.

It is a strange one, I grant you that. Someone took offense to the name Fascist and I can tell you that wasn't Rogue himself. Rogue was acting on the behalf of this person for the sake of their sensibilities. Please factor in we have visitors from all over the world so your later direct references to Hitler did not serve to provide you with much credibility!

We trust our admins to try to maintain a fun place to play. If you have a serious interest in this approach, as opposed to just stirring the pot, please look at this mentality from our point of view: http://www.knights-reborn.org/forum/vie ... hp?t=11616 - note that a player's name is considered "chat" in this context.

Now I personally would not have taken offense. I spoke to Rogue directly immediately after this event saying it would have been no different than if you used the name Dictator; which wouldn't bother most but obviously there will be people on the planet where this is too close to the bone. Our goal being to have the server as a place of distraction from the world - your efforts did not go towards that and you persisted in an approach which had the potential of causing more upset.

I suppose I don't expect you to understand, appreciate or even accept this explanation - and as noted this is an odd one - but it's hard to judge the feelings on server by going back and looking over log files, we just have to trust the admin decisions made at the time best suited the vagarities of those on the server then.

Yeah, I don't care. Not reading an essay defending ladyman fragility based on historical inaccuracies.

Next time I'm on there and someone starts talking about sexual perversion. I'll be sure to get my complaint ignored by the staff.

As you have not asked for any action to be taken, and as you will be shown the same consideration as you have expressed towards us, even at our own place, I strongly do expect you will get ignored. It was a 2 minute read, you spent half an hour patronizing the admins. Unfortunate.
