Sign here if you have an original name with [b]ONLY[/b] letters. No dashes, numbers, Xs don't count unless they are in the actual name and don't stack.
Edit: its good to know that at least 500 people are not scrubs.
There are many unspoken rules about a persons GT/PSN
These rules don't necessarily equal a bad player, but it looks amateur and is just bad. Original names earn respect in the online gaming world, while names that break these rules are seen as noobish.
[b][u]Rules[/u][/b]
- no variations of 'x' / 'X' in a persons name outside of the actual name, including space filler of any kind
*also applies to 'V'/'v', 'Z'/'z', and 'O'/'o'
- no numbers (more numbers = more scrub)
*there are few cases where a number is acceptable, but only in rare cases,usually when it coincides with the name in a recognizable way
- no random capitalization. It is ok to capitalize words, but no random capital letters within a word, as this is a major sign of a noob
- no numbers used as replacements to letters ( ex. 3=E, 4=A, 5=S, 12=R, etc.)
- name doesn't attempt to impersonate someone else, like a Youtuber or streamer for example
- no clan tags attached to name. Especially tags from professional gaming teams. (We know you're not on that team, you just look like an ass)
- name doesn't refer to drugs in any way
(Weed, Kush, 420blazeit, etc.)
If your name doesn't break any of these rules, then it is safe to say it is OG. Your name is who you are in the online world, try to keep it legit and not look like a noob.
[b][u]Bonus Points[/u][/b]
- name is unique
- name is funny and/or clever
- name doesn't use too many syllables or rolls of the tongue
(makes it easy for others to say and remember your name. Try to stray from having people give you a nickname.)
----------------------------------
I'll admit, I've broken a few of these rules in the past. Here are some examples of noobish names (a la my old GTs / PSN from middle school)
socialfreak1234 (1st name), TGUxLimiTZz, FaTaL_Limitz, liberty5337 (numbers are relevant, but arent recognizable to others), HacKeD ScOpEz (*shudders*)
Don't make the same mistakes I did. I may not have been bad at games back then, but those names definitely made me a noob in the eyes of the online world
My GT looks beyond nooby B].
The only complaints people have ever had about me was trying to spell it to send a message and pronunciation. I have the nickname "zap" from most people.
For the most part I agree. Especially about the 420 ones. However I did do a raid last night with a guy who had Xx in his gamer tag. He was, to my surprise, very cool and calm. I really enjoyed playing with him.
