I'll consider these, there are some cool choices there.

Also, don't know how accurate this is, but this claims there are a couple names for the Native American Thunderbird, including Nuu-chah-nulth and Kw-Uhnx-Wa. Hope that helps Edited November 30 by TheMoneyMaker https://religion.fandom.com/wiki/Thunderbird_(mythology)

UltraAlt Posted December 2 Posted December 2 On 11/29/2024 at 5:47 AM, Apogee said: It's 19 names, on alts he is playing. Not coming across as a hoarder. I've picked up at least that many since the 1st, some going to rename old characters, some going to new concepts, all being played and enjoyed (unlike how they were obviously not being played before). Of course, it doesn't appear to be so for you if you have been doing the same thing. 19 names listed all in one post seems to be excessive to me. Most likely many of those names probably weren't even released due to the name release. Are they playing the characters? Two DFB's, a Posi 1, and a Posi 2 gets you to around level 18. Seems to be more like an excuse to say that they are playing the characters, but we each play our own way. It remains to be seen if they continue playing those characters or not. I understand that this thread is about getting a cool "name". Nothing wrong with showing off a shiny new "name". My point is that it wasn't "a" name. It was a bunch of names ... at least I consider what you say to be 19 as more than one. From the outside of this behavior, it is clear. I understood the point of the name release was to free up names and not for a new round of name grabbing. It definitely seems to be name grabbing/hoarding. People are free to play how they like. We are also free to discuss things here in the forums. If you feel bad or a need to be defensive about my point, then perhaps you should consider my point before trying to grab a "bunch" of names simply because they may now be available. 2 If someone posts a reply quoting me and I don't reply, they may be on ignore. (It seems I'm involved with so much at this point that I may not be able to easily retrieve access to all the notifications) Some players know that I have them on ignore and are likely to make posts knowing that is the case. But the fact that I have them on ignore won't stop some of them from bullying and harassing people, because some of them love to do it. There is a group that have banded together to target forum posters they don't like. They think that this behavior is acceptable. Ignore (in the forums) and /ignore (in-game) are tools to improve your gaming experience. Don't feel bad about using them.

People like me As long as you are crafting characters to play, I don't have a problem with alting (I hope that is obvious by my name and avatar). There is difference between crafting character to play and grabbing as many names as you can simply because they have been released. When you list so many at one time, it seems to be leading toward making characters simply to get the name versus making them to play. It isn't hard to get to the level you describe. 2 DFBs, 1 Posi 1, and 1 Posi 2 will get you in that ballpark. Claiming that they are that level just seemed to be a defensive excuse to me for "getting" bunch of names that you felt were cool. To be clear, I know that this thread is about showing off "names" that people feel are cool. I have no problem with that.

lemming Posted December 2 Posted December 2 Some of the names I scored were Excelsior chars I was finally able to transfer over to Everlasting. High Strung was Minimum Wage on Excel, but it was still taken on Everlasting. Scales was one I frequently tried getting and finally did with the name release. Doing a quick count, looks like I grabbed 15 names. Mostly the "correct" spelling of existing characters, but I do have five new ones. It's nice getting a few onto the servers I play more. (Indom got a few more too)

gameboy1234 Posted December 3 Posted December 3 I got Synethesia after the name release on Everlasting, which I thought was a decent name grab. Though I have plenty of toons to level at this point, so I'm not really looking for new names or new characters. I've got a couple of others "saved" but it's doubtful I'll play them so they'll probably end up getting released.
Skyhawke Posted December 3 Posted December 3 I made a Stalker (first I've ever taken past a starter zone) over the holiday and got Shadow's Edge, which surprised me. Sky-Hawke: Rad/WP Brute Alts galore. So...soooo many alts. Originally Pinnacle Server, then Indomitable and now Excelsior
VPrime Posted December 3 Posted December 3 Genesis Project Vitality - SS/WP Project Ultimate - WP/SS Project Genesis - MA/WP Dr. Zayne Draydeon - ROBOTICS/FF Project Titan - INV/EM Project XIA - CLAWS/REGEN Project Apex - BIO ARMOR/SPINES

Snarky Posted December 5 Posted December 5 On 3/24/2024 at 10:13 PM, TheMoneyMaker said: DC had 2 Supermen (red and blue one time), multiple Supermen after the "death" of the original, and more recently the original and a Chinese version (also second Batman,Flash,GL, & WW). Marvel currently has 2 Spidermen and has had more (clones, alt reality, etc), and lots of characters have had more than one person usurp their identity. It happens a lot.
biostem Posted December 5 Posted December 5 I created a character just the other day, on Excel, and was very surprised I got the name "(The) Nuclear Option"! 1
