Theoretical discussion on how new names work

[Gen. Hothauser]

So I had this thought while on Chrisbot6's server about newly registered blockheads.  We are in the 50k bl_ids, and every one of those new registers were once called Blockhead50492 or Blockhead52845.  But, what would happen if someone were to rename themselves right now to something like Blockhead60000.  What would the newly registered blockhead with bl_id 60k be named?  This is assuming that bl_id 60k is sold, and not withheld for some reason.

Oh stuff I really want to know this.

[Kalphiter²]

I can't believe I never asked thought of this question.

[Treynolds416]

well great, now you've gone and given somebody the idea to do it

[Pecon]

forget I keep coming up with different stuff.

Yeah, I'm not sure what happens.

I'll actually try this if I earn money to buy another key. I'd rather not do it to someone else.

[Bester Bageler]

My guess is the new player would have a letter replacer or something put in there name like if your trying to use "Badspot" as your name you use "badspot" instead. So if there is already a Blockhead58973 the person instead becomes

Blokhead
Blockhead_
blockhead
Blockheadd
Blockhead 58- (see space)

or so on

What do you mean by this?

Perhaps the ID is skipped over numerically
Maybe it's why Blockhead666 and Blockhead1337 don't exist because someone thought ahead of time to take the name

I thought that Baddy didn't allow anyone to have those keys?

That's just a rumor, I think.

[Alyx Vance]

We must fund research for this.
$20 is all thats needed.

And we'd have to find out which ID is next.

[Ceist]

i think when the key is activated, the new users name overwrites the other users name, changing their name back to Blockhead-idhere- or their previous name, or maybe there's just a flaw in the system where both exist

[Zeblote]

What if the new user gets Blockhead_60000 or Blockhead60000_1 ?

this is correct

i think when the key is activated, the new users name overwrites the other users name, changing their name back to Blockhead-idhere-

and this is correct
