Ive finally "made it"!!!

[Walrus]

Thats right. Someone has taken the account name "Walrus" on banff. Someone who isnt me.
This deed places me firmly in the catergory of "Good enough to have their name stolen", an honor which i am pleased to accept.

I would like to thank you all for helping me get to this stage.

[ent__89]

wow, and this whole time i was gonna steal your name next wipe on Banff, just to worship you, i cant beleive i was beaten to it! lol

(by the way, i am kidding about the whole taking your name thing...)
anyway, congrats walrus!

[max2k106]

either that . . . or someone just wanted to be called walrus . . . dont jump to conclusions now :rolleyes:

[Office_Shredder]

someone stole wolfman on banff without knowing it was wolfman's name

Or so he claims

[Bottle]

I don't see how anyone sane would want the name Bottle, so I'm securely in the *good enough to have your name stolen* group. :)

[Jeffery]

Some of the names are kinda common. "wolfman" is a name I see registered in almost every game ever. It is not unlikely that someone might accidentally choose that name.

As for Bottle, what idiot would take that name to begin with? ;)

[DFG]

I'm curious:

Are you more famous if you have your actual name stolen, or if someone makes a name insulting you (http://www.tacticsarena.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13680)?

[Bottle]

Bah. Anyone can get an insult account, just annoy one of the noobs that currently infest the server by saying *go away you noob*. You'll get an insult account made within 10 seconds.

But having your name stolen, well, that's BIG.

[Jeffery]

Yeah, name theft is harder to do, as you must make it to the server as soon as the wipe occurs.

But insult names are fun too.

[Office_Shredder]

I've never had my name stolen, since everyone likes me too much for it to happen :cool:

But someone stole my clan's name on legends :)

[Warcow]

I beat all of you, I had 2 pages of spam threads about me in the forums :blush: so don't even try ;)

[Jeffery]

I had the same thing, but also the same thread in every single forum at the same time.

[Office_Shredder]

I had the same thing, but also the same thread in every single forum at the same time.

Cheat's also had a thread in nearly every forum on how much he sucks...

are you putting yourself on that level? :D :p

[Jeffery]

No, cheat has MADE a thread on every forum detailing how much he sucks.

[Wolfman]

yes guys... u guys r damn right.... wolfman is a very common name in most games.... i am already used to losing my "wolfman" grey accts in GL n Banff to someone else.... even my "wolfboy" n "wolfy" acct got stolen frequently...

hmmmm... let me think.... of a universal name that won't be stolen.... how about..... wolfchicken..... i kinda like it.... especially its inicial.... W.C......hahahaha

wolfy

[Walrus]

walrus on the other hand, is somewhat..unique.

though on the WoW beta someone already had walrus, wairus (capitalise the i) and wa1rus.

actually, walrus is taken on quite a few games i play, clearly the mongeese are plotting world domination through strategical name theft..

[Kyir]

i wonder if anyone wil steal my name, sigh, no its just a crazy dream never to come true

[h()()t]

how many h()()t's do you know

[dragoonzrfuns]

i barely Know 1 h()()t :rolleyes:

[Bottle]

how many h()()t's do you know
Unfortunately, one. ;)

[Jeffery]

one h()()t is like two too many to.

[Bottle]

Two too many too, you mean.

[Office_Shredder]

two h()()ts is two too many to tunis too

Try figuring that one out :D

[Chingy]

Well my name got stolen once on Banff and once on Armegeddon. Good thing I have a gold on GL. ;)

[***Duo***]

either that . . . or someone just wanted to be called walrus . . . dont jump to conclusions now :rolleyes:


But, its always more fun to jump to conclusions...

[search66]

Walrus... I felt as you did when the first time I saw a: netjakoff.org, netjerk.com and netjakass.com

[Office_Shredder]

I bet there's a netjakoff.com too, since they had to use a .org :p

[banditto]

someone used the name bandito with one t and said he was me, i ended up pwning his ass up and down 5th ave :)

[***Duo***]

Walrus... I felt as you did when the first time I saw a: netjakoff.org, netjerk.com and netjakass.com


HAHAHA...
That's pretty sad, don't you think??


-Duo ;)

[Jonspen]

It is hilariously funny though.

[Jeffery]

Maybe we should start a 4th-factoid.com

[Walrus]

It is hilariously funny though.

as opposed to boringly funny, or hilariously boring?

nothing personal i just feel like nitpicking right about now

[Jonspen]

How can it be boringly funny or hilariously boring?

That makes no sense what-so-ever.

Remembering I said it was hilariously funny.

[Walrus]

yes. the point was that the words hilariously and funny imply the same thing, and that you could/should have simply said hilarious or funny, not both.
anyway it was just nitpicking.

[Jonspen]

"Hilariously Funny" is a phrase used to emphasise how funny it is.

[Office_Shredder]

"hilariously funny" is hyperbolic in nature :cool:

[Jonspen]

Dude...Shut up....*bang*

[Beast-Boy]

"hilariously funny" is hyperbolic in nature :cool:
Can some one tell me what "hyperbolic" means, im a little slow on these BFW's.

[bludhoundz]

Walrus... I felt as you did when the first time I saw a: netjakoff.org, netjerk.com and netjakass.com
I'm surprised that there is no netjakoff.orgy (spinoff of netjakoff.org). I've been expecting it for a LONG time now.

[hellshord]

life would b better with no wipes

[Jonspen]

Life would be better without you.

[Walrus]

life would be better with no anything. go figure

[necro]

I don't see how anyone sane would want the name Bottle, so I'm securely in the *good enough to have your name stolen* group. :)

Well, lets see, on my forums there's a Bottle, on Runescape, these a Bottle, but.....alas, theres no other bottle on TAO...I shall stay up till midnight on the day of the wipe, and take your name *evil cackle* ........wait, thats just dumb! why copy Bottle! Anyone can tell your fake if you copy it!

[Walrus]

i hear gold accounts dont get wiped

[Bottle]

There's a Bottle on Runescape? Wow. Someone somewhere is as insane as me. A truly terrifying prospect, I think you'll agree.

And it's OK, I don't need the name Bottle anymore, because if I don't get my gold back, I'm leaving. You can have the name, but it'll be worthless, because people will know it's not me.

[Jonspen]

*sigh*

Join my club dude, joint he club.

Bills wiped my GL, so I left GL...

[bludhoundz]

But he doesn't have a second gold, he doesn't want to lose his name, and he doesn't want to earn the 1700 stats back all over again. I don't blame him, because as good as he is, nobody would play him until he was like 1500.

[Office_Shredder]

so he just jumps the noobier golds :rolleyes:

Like you!

I'm a match, and you're a candle... burn! :D

[Bottle]

I don't have enough time to get back to 1700 anyway.

But primarily, I don't want to lose my name. Everyone knows I'm worth 1700 rating, even if I'm only actually rated 750. That's what matters. But if I lose my name when it's wiped, then I'm leaving. I don't want to have to start under a new name; it won't be me if it's not called Bottle. And I'm not waiting a month for it to come free again, and I'm not logging on immediately after the wipe to get it back unless I happen to be on anyway.

[Walrus]

you forgot a [/ego]

[Bottle]

No, I forgot the [/pissed off].

[Walrus]

combination of both

[Office_Shredder]

no, no ego involved. It really is disappointing having to start on a new name from what I've heard.

It's just not the same.

[Walrus]

"everyone knows im worth 1700 rating"

whilst i do feel for bottle, that is ego, through and through

[Office_Shredder]

no, it's fact. ;)

[Walrus]

so if i ask people in iceland how much bottle is worth in ratings, they will say 1700?

[Bottle]

No, you ask ANY veteran from this game what rating I'm worth and they'll say 1600 minimum.

As OS said, it's a fact.

Saying Iceland is just stupid. It's like trying to argue that natives on a caribbean island with no way to contact the outside world should be able to discuss the politics of the USA for the past 50 years.

[bludhoundz]

Bottle is worth at least 1600. ;)

And my name gets stolen on other servers ALL THE TIME! But my gold doesn't mysteriously cancel.

[Walrus]

you said _everyone_ knows you are worth 1700.
this is funny
are you now saying that the good people of iceland are not actually people? for shame.

[Bottle]

Walrus...

Three words. You suck.

[Walrus]

you resort to petty insults because you have no stronger arguments available. fool.
[/hypocrisy]

[Office_Shredder]

You're a fool walrus.

-_-

[Walrus]

shuttup peanut boy.

[Bottle]

I have all the arguments, you're just being silly, you know it, and you're trying to rebound it on me. :)

But that's fine. I don't care what you say, so long as I know I'm right. I AM worth 1700 rating.

My quote reflected how I was feeling this morning. :)

[Office_Shredder]

shuttup peanut boy.

shutup flashing rainbow walrus

And stop taking cues from walrus

[Walrus]

I have all the arguments, you're just being silly, you know it, and you're trying to rebound it on me. :)

But that's fine. I don't care what you say, so long as I know I'm right. I AM worth 1700 rating.

My quote reflected how I was feeling this morning. :)


yes, but you said that everyone knew you were worth 1700 rating. which i proved to be a false statement.
