Name Glitch

[Davy_Mcwrecker]

DP, that's cool! I tried to give one of my Pirate's names a Rectangle/block thing, but it said it wouldn't let me. :/

i think Chronos was the first to discover it, although it took me awhile to figure out what he meant once when someone asked why he said Mail and he said the game wouldn't let him type her real name.

Mia and i talked with Stormy about it, and we'd worked out that if you typed something like:

a Mail
b Mia
c Lightning

you'd see lines a and c but not b. the only guess we had is that they might not be looking at it as offensive, but as the acronym MIA (Missing In Action). they might not want any of that kind of discussion in game, so they block any line that contains it entirely. i just wish they'd let you know the entire line was blocked, because it doesn't even show up in italic or red.

sail with you later!

[Twilight the Pixie Pirate]

I always wondered why people called you Mail, now I know.
I know what you mean by wanting the same name as your fairy, I wanted my priate to be named Twilight (you can write that in pirates), but it was not approved. So I talked to someone in live chat and they said I could not use that name because it was copyrighted being the name of a popular movie series. When I chose the name for my pixie I have never ever heard of the series, I just liked the named. Most people you know me still call me Twilight or Twill in pirates.
