Nicknames Database Update

[ELIZABETH1122 337]

But what will happen if you havent played in a long time and you decide to login again... How are you then supposed to know your new username?

I should imagine, that you will be notified as you log in or try to log in.

The answer to your question is in the FAQ in the second post.

I have a few questions for you @ELIZABETH1122 ...

So, if i may ...

To save time, i would like to ask you directly, what do you think about this update, is it good/useful/necessary or bad/unuseful/unnecessary?

If i insist, on a YES or NO answer, then do you consider my request to be aggressive?

If not, then do you like this update or not? ... YES? or NO?
:)

I do not particularly like the password update at all.  It will not affect my main account but it could affect other accounts.  That is not that big a deal  I felt after some thought.  I had just over a year off and would have lost the name from those but not this one,  Buyers have 3 years grace which will allow most people enough time for University , illness or military responsibility but I think that the other time limits are ridiculously small.  The junior accounts could start to loose out after a prolonged holiday and even Generalissimos less than one complete year.  

 

I can see that they want to kick start the new Tanki X with a lot of available names.  I can understand that.  It could also be a drive for people to sign up, give e mail addresses and start buying.  I also new that once they made the announcement that many people will be very unhappy.  I do not think that the whole thing has been very well handled at all, just like the neutering of Shaft.  That has caused a lot of bad blood that still grumbles.  Their is a distinct lack of consultation and one of dictatorial behavior.  That is hardly community spirit.

 

 It will be difficult for a new hand at the tiller.  Young men always have to show how good they are at making change, to stamp their mark.  We here also do not know what goes on between the staff here and their hierarchy.  Also perhaps in Russia their is no room for being soft, just tell it how it is perhaps.   I say give the new guy some slack.  He is new and need to settle in. Is this important enough to get really upset about?

 

One could talk about ethics.  Players rights ect.  Does ethics equally apply to the free player as it does to the buying player and should it?  Is it fair that Generalissimos have a longer term of grace that a corporal and why?  One could say that it is discriminatory or that the higher ranking player has invested more, more time sweat and blood if you like.

 

What people need to decide is, do they accept this.  Well, unless their is an absolute undivided front, their is little to be gained in moaning about things for too long.  Of course, it is  very important that people let the management know that they are unhappy.  Make clear polite statements on your thoughts.  To make any change or any compromise, one needs sensible dialog, negotiated from a positions of some strength.  So unless you have that and organization, just make a bold simple statement and then move on and just be prepared for something more important.  

 

The thing is, most people are selfish, self seeking and motivated for that.  Very few people ever see everyone point of view.  Some people, just do not care about the principles of fair play, they just want that Nick Name or what ever else that they have always wanted.  They would start to care, only if somehow someone coveted their special nickname.  It is just the same on any change.  Those that will loose out will make a noise and those that will gain rejoice.  Neither group can see the other sides point of view and are all all narrow minded and selfish as are the vast majority of humans.  So unless we all start to be a little bit less selfish and be more giving we will never get anywhere and that applies to life in general also.  Tanki is just a reflection of that.

 

I like try to help with putting people at ease with what is happening, by pointing out the wiki page, which is excellent and is the best way of answering most questions, I feel.  Only after consulting the whole of that page should people then start asking the what ifs and but this and that.  

 

Any way, they are some of my thoughts on the subject.

One more question. Suppose I don't play Tanki for a while, and my nickname changes to something else, say r_l.Eat.My.Buiiets0, but then again I stay inactive for a while. Then what will happen to the new nickname ? Will the nickname keep on changing as long as you are inactive ?

P.S: The above scenerio is possible, if another person wants my newly change nickname, i.e r_L.Eat.My.Bullets0, because it might sound cool, and waits for it to change. So will it change, or will it stay as such ?

What happens if someone steals my account? :ph34r:  :ph34r:  :o  :o  :excl:

I doubt if some one would steal suck a low rank account.  :D

[MARKANHRVATxdXD 71]

Good one! :D At least no one will try to search/put my nickname  :lol:

[AliceTreatPU 92]

Thx, I was able to reclaim my old name :D

 

But really, I wanted to change my name to inactive account name one.

This update only useful for those starter.

And for those who contibuted aka buyer, not in priority.

Maybe the system related. I expect this system is automatic.

 

And for those inactive acc who have linked to a valid email address, we have to wait 1 week.

It mean for those starter, u have to postpone play tanki for 1 week. As u cant change ur effort to desired name later.

 

Postpone play tanki for 1 week... I think, every starter will change to other name. Kinda weak.

 

I want know what a reason that tanki wont let us to change name to inactive account name one.

Well, my first guess is customer support flood :D

I have a question. There is max length of nick: 20. So what if someone decides to take such a long nickname, already used by another player. What will be the old, inactive player renamed to? (Obviously the "add prefix r_" or numbers doesn't work, as the nick can't be longer) I'm pretty interested :ph34r:
