What are you reporting?:
Enforcement Action Taken
Description of the incident:
This is not a meme , a joke or an unserious report.
I have been arbitral and unfairly punished and now require myself in all seriousness to defend myself over the use of my name. This name I’ve had without issue for over 800 hours of gameplay.
Rule 9 specifies that specify direct imitation of an in universe person or real world person.
So names like Ronald Rump, Adriane Boldly, or Brad Pot is totally permissible even though they sound like they may have real world celebrity relation and their likely conincidental.
Yet I’m being punished
“Note | Rule 9 | Player had the name Stanis Doughope - a reference to Doug Stanhope and their ckey “Stan Doughope”. Player’s name was randomized - they were not cooperative. by ltnts (Admin) on 2025-09-19 13:29:23 (ID: 29981)”
The rules are only against direct imitation and mostly in regards to DIRECT ingame and celebrity imitation.
How can this be unserious if it is already a note on my administrative wrap sheet?
This is a very serious report because my name is very important to me and has been screwed with.
As I quote from rule nine.
“A name comprised of extremely common names (I.E John Williams) can be excused for being shared with someone famous, provided the player is not attempting to imitate or overtly reference the linked person.”
A direct imitation to Doug Stanhope would be Doug Stanhope.
Firstly, My name is not a direct imitation or even an omage. My name is Stanis, Not Doug and my name is not is not a direct imitation; Stanhope but a jabberwocky of Stan Doughope.
Thirdly, Stanis Doughope bears only a passing resemblance to Doug Stanhope.
This name is very important to me, It’s apart of my very being. I AM Stanis Doughope, AND STANIS DOUGHOPE is my avatar, my spirit animal, my virtual brother from another mother. I AM KNOWN by the CM community, by command and medical and research regulars as STANIS DOUGHOPE!
Meanwhile during that round and before the Admin LTNYS had the audacity to play several times crappy Euro trashy music even after he forcibly scrambled my username into Marc Luna??? WHO THE FUCK IS MARC LUNA! FUCK THAT!
One does not get to have moral authority when one has bad taste in music.
My name has a reputation.
When people get treated by me as a medic, they know that they’re getting a FAST and PROFESSIONAL treatment.
As a doctor or researcher, my name is associated with a hard working professional who has the tendency of occasionally murdering rude patients.
OVER 800 HOURS. And this name has not once been an issue
In regards to that rule quote, “It depends if it’s a common normal name. If you don’t roleplay like the person or character, and your name is something common like Michael Bolton. Now if you play as Michael Jordan and start talking about basketball, not so much. Staff still reserve the right to make a judgement call and may ask you to change your name.”
My name is strange and unusual and isn’t a one to one copy. I don’t larp as a comedian. When people ask, which has happened once. I say my dad named me Stanis. I don’t play as someone sewing discord and incompetence. I play as a marine or doctor who takes his job extremely seriously.
I don’t roleplay as a failed comedian alcoholic named Doug. My name is STANIS!
STANIS DOUGHOPE!
STANIS DOUGHOPE!
STANIS DOUGHOPE!
I take my name and my playing very seriously.
People know when they see me or recognize my name, I’m going to either save their asses or do an ungodly amount of work… saving someones ass which i’ve done for HUNDREDS of HOURS.
I’m going to change it back to STANIS DOUGHOPE!
If there’s an issue with my name.
I QUIT! I will end my participation in a world where one has no ownership and proprietary over their own name.
I protest against arbitrary authoritarianism
STANIS DOUGHOPE!
In regards to my ckey which I don’t even really know how to check up, it is Stan Doughope but if I could change to STANIS I TOTALLY WOULD.
I’m not being judged for my Ckey!
It’s my player name.
We all have hills that we’re willing to die for
Evidence:
I want that note stricken from my administrative record!
There’s nothing wrong with my name!
As I’ve mentioned earlier, it’s the name I’ve had for over 800 hours.
I am Stanis and I’m keeping it
This is not a joke
