A purchaseable article from the store that costs minimum gp but provides medal points to the player that uses it:

Changes an enemy players name for 24 hours. Standard rules that apply to naming planets. I think it'd be a way for dan to get more cash money and us to get more medal points not to mention it'd be kind of funny. Either way I figured why not toss it out there for fun?

Change another player's name, even temporarily? If Dan cracked the magical "perfect filter of all possible offensive things and their recognizable permutations" thing, it might go from being horrific to merely terrible...

Yeah... not with someone else's name... there is a fair difference.
Sorry, truly horrible idea.

I suppose the ability to change someone's title to a pre-selected list of options for a day might be funny. I'd never pay to do it, but I might burn that useless lone GP to call someone "the Weaksauce".

As ICBLF pointed out, the potential for abuse and thus significantly increased complaints to the Devs means this concept is a -1.

There is a difference between naming planets, which are still somewhat checked in terms of things obviously offensive and naming players.


e.g.

Jormangundr takes "sapir" from me and because we're in a bit of a continued brawl, renames it Fear's lament to add a bit of salt and get the medal...

Even if i'm annoyed, it only takes a purger to move on.

Jorm under your example changes my name to Poopyhead or hey something not obviously offensive but still offensive like child-lover or what not...

In today's politically correct society practically every derogatory name is inappropriate and you can not call someone a name based on race, gender, age etc without there being a potential argument of discrimination...

so yes... even Old Fart while possibly true would be a no-no.

So sorry, but i'm afraid even if you got a 1000 plus ones and they all spent money in game, Dan and the devs would still say HELL NO TYVM.
