Title: Name/Clan Spoofing
Post by: njames89 on November 28, 2014, 04:15:11 pm
Hi guys I had a question about name/clan spoofing and was directed to make a forum post. Recently a bunch of players not in my faction The Crusaders of Acre have started wearing our tags. I'm pretty sure that they are not allowed to wear our clans tags but I wanted to see if any admins/devs could comment.

My faction tags are of_Acre. So far I know of at least 4 different players using the tags without being part of the faction.

- Prince Bryggan of Acre
- Lord Marshal Dirk of Acre
- Pope Albus of Acre
- King 10k of Acre

Nothing personal but I'd rather not have my faction misrepresented especially by our enemies!

Recruit them to your clan, and everyone will be satisfied, they will keep on rping crusaders, and you will get some new members to your faction.

I would but they did it purely for trolling reasons. The players are in fact our enemies in strategus.

Indeed. Hopefully an admin can weigh in on if its actually against the rules.

This is punishable/not allowed, afaik, but you'd need a higher-up admin to actually do anything about it.

Pretty derpy rule. What if someone for example wants to sperg RP as a Templar Knight and because of that rule can't have Templar before their name or etc..

Yeah it wouldn't really bother me, people will know if they are in the clan or affiliated through the banner so name doesn't really matter if someone wants to troll.

It's one of those rules that is loosely enforced until somebody asks that the offending players remove the fake clan tags. If it bothers* a member of the actual clan, then they get forced to stop. Usually banned until name change request goes through, just like anyone else with an offensive name. I can't navigate the main website while I'm at work, but if nobody else takes care of it by the time I come home I'll do a thing.

*bother [both -er]  verb - to troll mildly, or in some cases, in an extremely British way.

wait what? this is frowned upon?

also, its not trolling, its a civil war, between true acre loyalists and the followers of Reinharts tyrannical puppet.

we will take back what was stolen from us and not rest until Bryggan our true and rightful king sits upon the acre throne once again.

Yeah James, those four are actually in Acre, the true Acre, the one that just shit all over you and your castle. Perhaps if you'd kept better track of your Kingdom you would not have such formidable rebels.

Honestly though they are not doing it to troll anyone, it is their current RP, something James has a lot of trouble understanding.

If that's the case then I will reclaim acre for myself as I used to lead it when Reinhardt would go afk for weeks. I turned into 'king' for a time so I should become the third party in this civil war.

The Grand Douche will return!

If that's the case then I will also claim the throne because of an old royal marriage with Reinhardts cousin, and because my steward fabricated a claim on the Kingdom of Acre.

Hurrah for the Etherlund Dynasty ascending to the throne of Acre!

Oh so as long as I make up stupid Strat RP shit I can stick any clan's name tag on?

Nice.. Time to create Swagadocious_king_of_Chaos.

WITCHCRAFT would be correct.

I mean, if you're going to use another clan's tag to roleplay / troll or whatever, you should make sure that clan is actually okay with you doing it.  Otherwise the admins might just have to do something about it.

If anything, James should be punished.  It is clearly stated in the rules that one shall not build a time machine to go back in time to preemptively clam spoof.
