Just been banned from O Game......

Complete tripe.

I've been a GO in .org

Jump on IRC go into the channel for your universe #org.uni1 or #org.uni2 etc. then ask for a GO.

Alternatively raise a ticket at http://support.ogame.org
Be polite about it.

Where does your nick come from anyway?

as to where my nickname comes from - my first name is neil and this got shortened to neg (it's a kids thing i guess) and i'm guessing it helps the flow of a sentence to add 'er' to the end when speaking it. my mates called buzz because he once got a wasp stuck in his helmet (bike) this then over time changed to buzzer.

i never chose my own nickname it was given by friends and it stuck. i like it and at the time it was given i didn't understand what racism was anyway.

but now you're 42 understand racism, and yet chose to use it in a game?
 
I wouldn't think that the name was racist per se. Nitpickers would complain.
In that case my (WoW) alt should be banned with the name 'Nyglette'... both cases are not intentional racism and prejudice against black people was the last thing on my mind and probably on the OP's mind.

People need to loosen up with their PC stuff but rules are rules and if you don't comply you should change: not exactly hard to do.
'Neggen' wouldn't be so far off the mark... sounds Dutch.
'Nugget'
'Nogger' as in egg-nogg. Or maybe the US should ban that festive drink too.

or alternatively use a foreign language, OR just use another online alias??

not really, how closley does that resemble ****** (hell i can't even figure out how to pronounce your name)

Nyglette
****** very different

negger
****** Hmmm so close it looks intentional.

as said before this is the first time it's happened so i've never thought about it before.

the only time i don't use negger as a username is when it's already been taken by someone else, which has happened often.

you state the above as if i chose to use my nickname knowing it's similar to the derogatory term, i can assure you i didn't.

Only because we don't know your life storey. To others it looks like some 14 year old trying to be cool.

Plus who the hell shortens neil to neg?

Your friends dyslexic?

Tefal, Nyglette apparently can be pronounced:

"Niglet" and the feminine ending would render it a perjorative term for a small female coloured person... If you were so inclined*

*My mate who also plays said to me 'lol, Voltar you're alt's name is ******* racist'
I said :confused: 'huh? What you mean'
Then he said it how he thought.


The point is it is how you interpret things :)

True but somthing that looks so bizzare it's either som fantasy name or forigen. (and chuffing unpronouncable) Is a lot different from 1 letter of a racist term, and that sounds very similar too. And with a flimsy reason at best.
 
seen one guy called 'arnie-ze-fuhrer'

should only ban you if you go around swearing etc, name is irrelevant

its only a matter of time before your all called ****** guys!,

lmao south park rocks

Ok you win. Can't deny it really as negger does indeed look bad. BUT if it was that bad why have our lovely mods not given OP the same reaction?

quite a few of my freinds have stupid / odd nicknames, but isn't that the point of a nickname from childhood.
i've already mentioned buzzer his names martin, others as follows - knocker/nigel, killer/stephen, woko/john etc etc.
 
i've just had a reply back from the o-game mods as follows.

'Well then it's time to change it as I'm getting complaints about your
nickname, I will unban you only if you change it.'

any suggestions for a new nickname that's totally pc and can in no way upset anyone whatsoever.

what about negypaki

maybe not.

Ok - Here's some for you

Cant - ie someone who is always saying can't
Winker - always winking at the girls
Prit - likes sticking things down
Fock - Extraordinary interest in German fighter aircraft
Nibhead - Has a head that is rather pointy in shape

;)

how has the name negger got ANYTHING to do with racism ?

Because people like to get around auto censors etc?

People complained, admin had a look at it, saw that it looked very much like someone just trying to be a ****, so banned.

Was even nice enough to listen to an explination (desopite haveing no obligation) and alow him to change it.

These people don't get paid and have to do a lot of work, they must get sick of kids using stupid names.
