THE GREAT PURGE

by Hazed

At the reset yesterday (Saturday) Bella performed some surgery on the game's persona file, deleting any GroundHogs and Commanders who had not logged for in the last month. This resulted in 2,326 characters being purged, from Aakadarr to Zzz. A quick perusal of the list shows just how diverse are the names that Fed players choose. At the beginning of the alphabet, the prefix Alpha proves to be popular, with Alphaborg, Alphaman and Alphaone - although not as popular as Space, with Spacecritter, Spacemissy, Spaceorc, Spaceredneck and Spacetrader. Even more common were Black names: Blackhawk, Blackpony, Blackraven, Blackrovert, Blackshroud, Blackstone, Blacktiger and
Blackwasp, which also seem to represent many parts of the animal kingdom.

Oldblood and Oldschool seem to be giving the impression that they are not really newbods at all, while at the other extreme we have Helpmeplease.

Exterminator seems to have got the wrong idea about what kind of game this is.

Misreading of the bunch is Warpengine; on first sight I thought it was War Penguin which conjured up a very strange image. I was also intrigued by Ziffywiggle - I have no idea what it means but it sounds kinda cute. The most unusual name is probably Unusual - nothing like making a statement up front!

Finally, there were the unpronouncable names Asdfasdf and Xxslpnslidexx. It's probably just as well they didn't stick around!
