RE: WBO Random Thoughts - Coach - Dec. 06, 2013
I've been coach for about a year and a half. My first name was Twisted Leone, then Klaus and then Coach and its stuck and I'm happy even though I have thought about a name change it would just be dumb.
RE: WBO Random Thoughts - Leone19 - Dec. 06, 2013
I don't understand why are people using Brad's (current and new) username, haha
Not to mention, someone keeps changing their name into/based on other's names...

We have those that choose to change their name every five minutes or take someone else's (old) username, haha.
I'm really on the fence about telling my friends about beyblade. I'm thinking about just showing them the site. Maybe they'll get interested before they actually know what it really is XP

That's how I got Bullchamp into blading. He had some in plastics, but really wasn't interested. I took him to a WBO tournament after having him join (in May), he just ordered some new DX Sets.

But it's not really against the rules or is it? (Serious question, just wanna double check)
RE: WBO Random Thoughts - Dual - Dec. 06, 2013
I answered this already in Questions about the WBO, haha.
But no, it's fine. Though it's easier for Kai-V if you keep it the same when submitting various things for the scavenger hunt, as well as tournaments.
RE: WBO Random Thoughts - Leone19 - Dec. 06, 2013
Not to mention, its a bit confusing and misleading at first
RE: WBO Random Thoughts - DRAGON KING - Dec. 06, 2013
@Ultramarine Ok thx, I just wanna make sure I'm not doing anything wrong
RE: WBO Random Thoughts - Tri - Dec. 06, 2013
Never will I change my username. I'm stuck with Tri and I don't want to make the committees job of processing the IN tournament and Kai-V keeping track of points even harder.
RE: WBO Random Thoughts - Dual - Dec. 06, 2013
Yah, I'll change a lot, but if I host a tournament or when I start sending Kai-V scavenger hunt answers, I'll revert back to Ultramarine. And even after that, I'll be changing a lot, but this'll be my home base.
RE: WBO Random Thoughts - DRAGON KING - Dec. 06, 2013
Same here, ill change to funny Usernames (like this one) and just change back to DRAGON KING in the end.
RE: WBO Random Thoughts - *Ginga* - Dec. 06, 2013
I really like my current username, but some people are stealing the style of the name (*___*).
no that wasn't intended to be an emoticon lol.
RE: WBO Random Thoughts - Kai-V - Dec. 07, 2013
Yo, my life is absolutely busy right now. All of you playing with usernames are making my free time keeping track of points for Scavenger Hunt almost a nightmare. I will seriously not be any smarter in that aspect than a simple input machine. So, UltimiteOrion redirecting to Triforceblader when I try to give you the Face Booster AMBER you asked for ? Forget that. No compute, no Face given.
RE: WBO Random Thoughts - Kaneki - Dec. 07, 2013
I agree. I can't even see my friends.
Please, Kai-V does her best for us. If anything, we should at least try and help. Can't you just be happy with one name?
Sorry if my post's not needed.
RE: WBO Random Thoughts - DRAGON KING - Dec. 07, 2013
The only reason I was changing mine so much was cuz I'm not gonna try the scavenger hunt unless I found the face. Sorry if it caused any trouble though
(i don't think did cause i didnt get a face booster or anything....), but i won't be changing it every day anymore

It's not stealing unless you own it ... which you don't.

RE: WBO Random Thoughts - Dual - Dec. 07, 2013
Well you should at least give it a shot. There's nothing to lose.
RE: WBO Random Thoughts - th!nk - Dec. 07, 2013
Re: Impersonating well known users, I was under the impression, from experience, that it was generally frowned upon and generally resulted in manual reversion by staff.
Also yeah 100 name changes in a day wasn't funny to start with, now it's just really childish.....
RE: WBO Random Thoughts - Dual - Dec. 07, 2013
I really don't see why the latter is a problem. I mean, as long as you're not currently participating in the scavenger hunt, or waiting for a tournament to be processed, it really doesn't hurt anybody. And I'm not doing it to be funny, as it's obviously not. I'm doing it because I get enjoyment out of it for some unknown reason and if it's not hurting anyone, then why does it matter?

YES!
I'm having difficulties as well trying to cross check players' eligibility for tournament processing, plus tournament credits, plus Faces, etc. It's very time consuming, and time is a valuable thing for me these days.
Regular name change is fine, but when people start abusing it by trying to be funny (use other's nicknames, etc), it really does get annoying.

I agree. At this rate, it might be a good idea to just simply remove the Name Change function altogether.

Or set a limit on how many times a person can do it

Once every 3 months, 4 times a year seems like more than enough. If somebody is not sure about a name then don't change to it. 100 times in the matter of days? To me that deserves repercussions.... and people your names are your identity on here the reason people like DrPepsidew, *Ginga*, Dark, the known tournament hosts, advanced and committee members... and the list goes on is because we have a history with them. We know who we are talking to and what to ask to them. If I want to talk plastics I ask Th!nk not somebody I'm not sure knows any more about plastics than me. If you want us to know who you are quit screwing around with your names
RE: WBO Random Thoughts - Dual - Dec. 07, 2013
Sigh, but when changing usernames so much, it will only be a certain username for a couple of seconds with me at least, then after I get my desire-to-change-usernames-for-no-apparent-reason exhausted, I go back to ultramarine.
Repercussions? I know I'm not as respected or experienced as the people I'm disagreeing with, so I may be out of place, and please excuse me for it, but really? It might be a bit annoying but you shouldn't go and, say, warn them.
I think it may be a bit annoying when someone changes their username to someone else's previous one, then keeps it for awhile, but at the end of the day (or hour for that matter), I'm still Ultramarine. Plus I'm not exactly known for my expertise so I don't think I need to worry about people coming to me for help.
RE: WBO Random Thoughts - DRAGON KING - Dec. 07, 2013
There weren't any rules about changing our usernames in the rules, so we didnt know. Like we said, we weren't hurting anybody and I don't really think we deserve warnings for it
. I'm sorry for changing it so much though
