Our esteemed Dark Chivalrous one has a competitor.

Black Knight, meet Black_Knight.

How can this be? One is a blue boarder with 2889 posts or so. The other a new challenger with 129 posts or so.

What is to be done? How will BK know when I'm talking to him and not BK.

Memnoch? Saz? Z'meister?

So this has already been discussed, and the new Black_Knight is aware of the situation.

I see. I just have one more question.

WHY THE HELL HASN'T HE CHANGED HIS NAME??!!

That thread seemed like a pretty big hint to me. Lord Shield even came out and said it directly.

CHANGE YOUR NAME..... CHANGE YOUR NAME....

OK, If Black Knight had that name first, and then this ohter guy came in and called himself Black_Knight, and the original person with the name doesn't even care that he has it, than JUST FORGET ABOUT IT, I don't know where you live but where I live its a free country, and he can have whatever name he wants.

Last I checked, a free country included free speech. He's allowed to keep his name. I and Lord Shield and anyone else who thinks it's a stupid idea to keep your name when people have expressed how confusing it is, have a right to say so.
It's called consequence. Freedom does not mean "without consequence."

I never said you couldnt say anything about it.

Youre trying to defend something I didn't even attack.

What you did say was "Forget about it. It's a free country."

And that's what I responded to. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Yes, there are two Black Knights (one with an underscore) and yes, it would be nice if the newer one changed his name as it is confusing and he came second, but he doesn't seem inclined to do so and the first, while not exactly thrilled about it, is too nice to ask him to change it. [img]smile.gif[/img]

In the end, it's up to the second one to decide if he wants to change his name. It would make it easier for everyone to keep track of both of them and show courtesy to the first but he may like the name so much he doesn't care that it's the same as someone else's. Either way, it's his choice to make, Yorick. [img]smile.gif[/img]

When would this be confusing?
I can clearly see the difference with their names, and frankly I don't get what the big deal is!

Thanx Axil.

Note this... I WILL change my name to Sir Mandorallen, IF you guys tell me a good, legitamite reason why you are confused when the ____underscore____ says it all, the rank we both have are different, the sigs are different, and I almost never even talk to most of you!!

I will also change my name if so ordered by a Moderater, or Black Knight himself...

I am being quite reasonable, and it dosent really matter to me all that much... but I think you are carrying it too far.

Personaly I would find it an honour that someone else chose MY name, and I really wouldn't care!

Anyway... you guys give me reasons, then sure! I'll change it!
