Not so in China. If my EVE main's name was Falun Gong, for instance, CCP would probably not include it on the monument. Why? It's a banned group in communist China. Chinese citizens can (and have been) literally rounded up and shot for being associated with them.<br /><br />I'm not outraged by this move. It just seems shortsighted and puzzling on CCP's behalf. CCP, please keep player names from red China OFF the monument. Don't subject us to the same base, twisted and vile political correctness that people in China are forced to live under under pain of punishment or death. And no, that is not an exaggeration.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942059813481083566.post-1930490099429675472014-02-14T15:03:07.780-06:002014-02-14T15:03:07.780-06:00I am so glad I have always taken my online 'na...I am so glad I have always taken my online 'name' with a somewhat more serious attitude than so many I have seen... especially in EvE. So many of the pilot names I see ingame are just... well, TBH so crude as to go beyond funny to just juvenile.<br /><br />TurAmarth ElRandir... I have been "Tur" for many years online. I first cobbled the name up back when my best friend and I were working out how to connect PC to CP via modem in Doom. Doom 1 that is.<br /><br />I am an OLD Tolkien fan. First read my father's ragged paperback copy of the Hobbit when I was 8. TurAmarth is a Sindarin (elvish) name. Tur is a honorific meaning 'master' or 'teacher' and Amarth is the word for 'Doom', hence TurAmarth = Master of Doom (Ta DAAA)... and ElRandir is derived from El = 'star' and Randir = 'wanderer' hence Starwanderer... so TurAmarth ElRandir = Master of Doom Star Wanderer...<br /><br />Having my chosen 'name' set in stone really quite moves me. I like it, I like it a lot... and I have absolutely no worries that CCP (or even the Chinese) would have any issue with it... unlike the amazing number of sophomoric children out there who are gonna quite simply RAGESCADE over their chosen 'name' being seen as unacceptable... Stoopid is it's pwn reward. =]Turamarth Elrandirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08129383421613323047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942059813481083566.post-80403637778079437132014-02-14T11:42:38.556-06:002014-02-14T11:42:38.556-06:00Well, there goes my plans to make a character call...Well, there goes my plans to make a character called 000000000000000000000000000000000lol penisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
