They threatened to ban me for setting my name to Johnny Depp.
Of course we did...
Celebrity/video game character names aren't considered serious roleplay names. While they are real names, yes, I don't want to bump into a James Bond while trying to avoid a Gordon Freeman who is introducing me to Alfred Hitchrooster.
Also, the server is strict: that's no secret. The reason why it's so big is because there's really nothing else to sit it against. I've heard nothing but praise from Comr4de's server, but I've never gotten the chance to play. The Bluzone seems to run perfectly fine in its current method of administration, even though it could be much better. Idiots are kept out while a small dedicated following stay in- and that's how it should be.
The issue is just sorting between idiots and people who didn't quite understand. While it's fun to have a joke, it's not fun to see 'Blockhead is now known as Ben Dover.' clog up the chat while trying to roleplay, and it takes up even more chat space when admins need to tell people to use an appropriate name.
The Bluzone just isn't for some people, and I'm not trying to force it down anyone's thtoats. While I'd agree it does seem a bit like that in a couple instances, I don't agree in generalising the server based on a handful of personal opinions.
We'll do nothing but disagree over the same things from here on, and I don't really feel like talking in circles for too much longer.
Bottom line is, an admin messed up and banned some players over a mis-understanding. Those players appealed their ban and are now un-banned. Everything beyond that just seems to be people taking cheap shots at a server they don't like.
