Melee: Battlegrounds Crowdfunding - Name Reservation Reward

[F i n]

I'm fixated on this idea:

Can obese characters be a stretch goal? Make me bankrupt myself for your game.

Or even a unique reward for donating could be the exclusive option to make fat characters.

lol dude

Ban the use of any and all numbers, imo.   

Don't you dare

[Umbra]

I just know someone will take Umbra again....

We post our receipt number here on the forms. If someone jacks your name you post your receipt number and then you guys can check both data bases and give the person back there name.

Protect me!!! PLEASE!!!

You underestimate the power of a name.




And the willingness of people to spend money on completely trivial things.

Take me money!!!

PS My idea has already been stated so oops. Still, great minds think alike.

Give priority name reservations to crpg players (on KS ask if people wanting a name reservation are crpg players or not), or people with the feather at least.

Make them have to confirm that by using their crpg profile (a message on website if you can be bothered, or something more clever (sign in with credentials to a new page you've set up for this purpose).

Let everyone who pre-kickstarted login on the melee page once with their prefered username and then the rest can just live with it just like in all other new games.

Eat a bag of dicks son.

I only missed out on giving these cock suckers money because I was away when the whole thing happened and like a week after it closed I came back and saw what was happening. Then I hurled much abuse at the filthy Austrian devil man for not TAKING MY MONEY!

I think the 'first pledge, first serve' mechanic is good enough. I don't see why you should specifically moderate who picks what name when it comes to names used in cRPG, as you won't do it for names used in other games. If Panos pledges quickly and reserves the name GTX, then so be it. Because if Ballswaggler that played Pony Simulator 2k12 reserves the name of Floppydong that also played Pony Simulator 2k12, you won't do shit either.

I find it stupid how much people want to be rewarded for having played cRPG in a completely stand-alone game, especially if they lacked the decency to fork over 50 or even 15 euro's at the start of all this. cRPG players should not enjoy any rights over pledgers coming from other games, why the fuck should they? You played a free mod, good job, get over it. Good way to alienate complete newcomers. I believe the intention is to have a whole lot more people take an interest in this game than this inbred little community of 2000 players.

So if we've already invested in the early backing scheme i guess our names haven't been reserved.

I do think it is more than reasonable to put it in at a reward level, just wander how you will work the system to this and how it will link up with the forum accounts.

[Molly]

I'll call my first char in M:BG Ballswaggler and the 2nd one Floppydong.

[F i n]

You know you want to!

me, personally - yes.

[Teeth]

Fat characters as a stretch goal, huehuehue, I get it.

[Umbra]

So, will chadz be reserved or can someone take it?

[Inglorious]

I can already see the abuse happening if you make it first pledged first served

Oh you guys would love that. I honestly don't care, why would i pick that name again? There would be no good reason to pick it. I would rather just let it die out, and start fresh, so all the dumb tendencies from c-rpg don't get translated into the new game.

Honestly names shouldn't mean that much, and i feel like the ''first pledged, first served'' is just fine, since thats how it has always been done, afaik.
