Your soldat name limit... too short?
« on: January 17, 2007, 09:26:34 am »
I might have been stoned or high, but i swear a saw a soldatter with 30+ characters in his name (yep, i probably was stoned). :-\

Anyway, I find that the soldat name limit should be increased slightly (25-30 character max maybe?). I just find that the 24 or so characters we are allowed now is a bit too little. I may be the only one who thinks this... :P. What do you guys think? ???

i even didn't know that there's limit :)

anyway, could you give reasons why should it be increased, as you didn't give any,

as i can see your nick NinjaGimp369 will fit without any problems and you still have 12 characters left for clan (if you're in any)

and look can write my nick 6 times with 24 char limit ::)

How can 24 limit be small? Well, in case you want something like ~:|K.I.L.L.E.R.S.|:~<<<M3G4D347H>>>, but in that case I recommend to stop playing Soldat and save our souls.

24 characters... is a small limit? Don't join 12 clans and don't have a name like "Ultimate Ninja Shadow of Dragon Destiny Doom".

Well, I use my nickname gedazz which is only 6 characters, so I have no problems. And I think that using really long names (24 chars - what the heck?!) is really disturbing and annoying.

Do you really even need more than 10 or 15?  It's a name, not a definition or a sentence.

And long names are not just annoying, but they are very uncomfortable, when you are playing in teams. Standing on one spot in soldat for 5 seconds is deadly! For example:

"Reyk, cover the flag! Jones, follow me! Käelkyrjakkellelõliünenägu, you-" BOOM!

I get your point, but I'll give you a little tip: Tab auto-completes player names. Pretty useful. Doesn't work however if it isn't the first word written... a bit sad. :(

saying you where 'stoned' is not cool, not funny, get a life..

and i think the character limit is long enough, it's to annoying and how would the the teksts size of 'you killed 44455569785475754sdgsbhsznen' be? i think it's fine.

It's definitely way too short.

VERY ANGRY CAPS LOCK MAN is not nearly as annoying as EXTREMELY ANGRY CAPS LOCK MAN. How am I supposed to troll effectively with a name of such paltry length?

Ahh, didn't think about that before I made the post:

Well, I use my nickname gedazz which is only 6 characters, so I have no problems. And I think that using really long names (24 chars - what the heck?!) is really disturbing and annoying.

Very true, it could get pretty annoying with a server full of ppl with their names lyk "poiugkdnshuuflowndhasijdpalqfvnhd." Thanks for clearing that up for me. Shoulda realised it myself..  ::) :P

Bah, increase the limit to twenty six. Then people can do the alphabet :)

If your name is beyond 24 characters, it might be a good idea to nuke all the non-essential adjectives in it and cut down on the punctuation.. :D

In my opinion, long names are annoying and tend to become a nousnece.

I know the common person wouldn't do this, but I was actually playing a game with someone named "Shut Up Niggas! Yeah!". Swear to god.

Names are sacred, and in my opinion, should be short, sweet, easy to remember and to the point. I think that my name describes my interests (I like megaman games if you didn't notice). Shouldn't yours?

Some clans have long names like /|{[>M</e|h\[|>F<|]orce]}|\ -=- I(3|0uffoon .
Something like that, pretty annoying.
