You tell Mister Spindle, a Fate Guide, "Not trying to be rude, but in "ok names", part two, it allows for a dictionary word, if it is not silly nor offensive, correct?"

He is polite there.

Spindle tells you, "Your name is silly, if you argue this further, I will force the change."

Spindle told Richter to read the HELP NAMES file, and Richter proved Spindle to be incorrect.... And Spindle decided to abuse admin power by saying "No, it's wrong, change it now."

You tell Mister Spindle, a Fate Guide, "Silly? I take offense to that!"

As would I.

Spindle tells you, "When admin asks you to do something it is wise to do so, to argue does nothing but annoy us."

Aren't admin supposed to enforce the rules? The rules say that his name is valid. Or does the administration MAKE the rules? His statement also sounds EXTREMELY unprofessional. Richter is a customer, and you don't say to your customer, "Okay, you're pissing me off." You can deal with customers if he/she is making trouble, but Richter is simply making a valid argument.

You tell Mister Spindle, a Fate Guide, "And I suppose that since my name has been declared unsuitable, I need to think of a suitable one... right now."

You tell Mister Spindle, a Fate Guide, "That's a difficult task. I mean, your
name is your name, and I can only do this once, so what if I mess up and pick a
stupid name? My entire life could depend on the conversation we're having.
Imagine if I grow to be a great warrior, and my name is recorded in the annals
of history as Great warrior, Snodgrass, The Master Swordsman?"

It's a valid point.

Mister Spindle, a Fate Guide says, "Ok, I'm sick of the sillyness."

Mister Spindle, a Fate Guide says, "No more remarks, change the name."

Mister Spindle, a Fate Guide says, "My next action will be to remove you."

Spindle again gets pissy because Richter isn't submitting to his power.

  (if Spindle, Skein, Bobbins or one of our immortals asks you to
  change your name, then it is unaccepable: please change).

Meh, you are grasping for straws. Obviously you have never read it. Or a poor oversite on your part. It has always been there.

I upset that someone such as Richter would bring trouble to the guides. Guides are  the buffer system for some of the the most intolerant novices. They have their work cut out for them, they do not need more. It is obvious that Richter's character was just trying to get a good laugh. Would you rather the Guides spend their time helping someone like Richter get their kicks, or helping novices that are truely new to Lusternia?

OK NAMES
--------
- names you might hear in real life (Roger, Sally, Megan)
- a dictionary word, if not silly nor offensive
  (if Spindle, Skein, Bobbins or one of our immortals asks you to
  change your name, then it is unaccepable: please change).

Congratulations!  You look like a total arse.

Dealing with ignorant, childish, prick of a newbie pains like him?

I'm really going to have to ask you to knock that off. You can insult me IC all you want, but doing it after every post I make is really starting to irritate me.

The thing some people fail to realize is:

Every character I ever play is IC to the best of my ability and played completely different from the others. Am I the only one that does this? No, this is hardly a new concept.

And whichever player was controlling the guide at that time went a bit too far with the gestapo-ish attitude, but I've already said it didn't matter that much, because I only use Richter. I'm not mad at all, and it's not a big deal.

My points were valid, my roleplaying was without flaw, and if I made someone's day harder, I apologize.

Guides do not have a roleplay function any more then Administrators. Hence their names reflect this.

The part that said admins have complete control over namechange comes right after OK NAMES. If you look at Richter's original quote, it cuts off RIGHT before it mentions this tid bit. If this little tidbit of information was present during Richter's event, he probably would've noticed it. Infact, he probably would have NOT posted about it, because he would've been wrong about challenging Spindle.

Therefore, I'm going to stick to my guns and say that they implemented the rule after Richter's event.

Since when has ignorance been a valid excuse?  "Oh, sorry.  I didn't know the gun was loaded, honest."  Or.  "Hot damn, where did those two big towers come from?  Didn't realize they'd COLLAPSE...  Jeez, sorry America!"

I thought this was about me having a good/bad name. 

I only cited up to the point I was making. It is true that the next section speaks of guide veto power on names.

The fact stands that I made my arguement respectfully.
