15+ charachter names!

Got a great new idea for the game?

15+ charachter names!

Postby ThisFrickinSite » Wed Apr 18, 2012 12:28 am

I was very surprised to come to the realization that my name, ThisFrickinSite, contains 15 characters and can hold no more so when i joined the murderous intent clan, my name has to be [MI]ThisFrickin. -.- i dont get why 15 characters is the limit, but it is too small.

I don't see why this would be a bad idea.

The worst thing that could happen is the leaderboard breaking.
To a Physicist, white and black is the presence and absence of color.
To a Fine Artist, white and black are just shades and tints of color.
To a Painter, any paint that you could get into a can is a color.
THIS color, on the other hand, is #b4d455.

It's pretty easy to adapt the code though, the leaderboard could take the first 15 characters of the name when printing while the killfeed would take as many as your heart so desires. Increasing the character limits isn't a bad idea at all I think.

I would love to have names longer than 15 characters. Maybe to at least 20 characters in names.

I'm pretty sure they should always be a hard limit on names.

20? 25?

Or have a hard limit of 15 on usernames and a limit of say 7 on tags (making "tag" a separate option in the conf file)
