Petition problem?

I was told to change the name of one of my toons and was hoping to run the new name by a GM before I made the choice. So, I tried to petition so that I could speak to one without sending a tell and risking annoying a staffer.

I followed the instructions exactly and was still unable to petition. I typed the required phrase a dozen times and nothing.


If a GM reads this, the old name was Phutility. Would the new name of Phuphu be acceptable? I do not want to choose it and go through all of this again if it is not acceptable.

Thanks
 
I'm pretty sure you don't add a period to the end of the sentence you have to type in to use petiton even though it shows one.
 
asking to have your name approved isn't something a GM wants to see in a /petition anyways, if I were you I'd be glad it didn't go through.
 
I dont know, I think the Gms would appreciate that more than being an idiot and making them track down your name 4 times and sending you to jail.
 
1) It says at the end of the phrase to not use a period. Typed correctly dozens of times independently and it still was not accepted. Perhaps there is a problem with the system expecting something a little different than what is shown (such as it expects a comma in there somewhere but the example sentence does not show it) or I am just blind and stupid =)

2) When in doubt choose something else. I have used the name Phutility for ten years from table tops to MMPORGS. I have a circle of friends that actually look for it. I am NOT complaining about changing it, I just want to try to have it similar enough that I could be found by one of them on a partial search. Phuphu is a nickname based on Phutility that I have also had for ages. I am just hoping that my friends will still be able to spot me is all. I do not think that Phuphu would violate the policy but I thought by double checking that I could avoid headaches for anyone (myself or staff)

Guess I will just go ahead and change it. If it is a problem I can always change it again.

Over 200 posts and you are just now getting around to using the name that your friends would look for? Been trying to avoid them?

On a serious note, it would be my guess that Phuphu would be ok.
 
It's fine.

To all who read this, learn this habit. Just like a previous poster said, if it's doubtful, DON'T DO IT.

Petitioning won't change this rule of thumb. But again, in this instance, phuphu is wierd sounding =), but fine.

Phutility Birthdate, June 18th 2005 17:37:54... As you can see, I am not just now getting around to using the name.

I am in no race to 65. I play for fun and social causes. I knew Kaloft when he was just made. I hung out with Luas when he was a newbie toon and still have the pleasure of chatting with him. Alot of great people on this server, and I enjoy the conversations with everyone of them. Does not bother me to be constantly outleveled by people at all =)

Heck, my first toon here had the most hilarious time ever. Wiz actually took over my pet and was goofing me for awhile. It just made it all so good to know that I was a person to the staff rather than a customer.

Gnomish huggles to all ! God, I love SoD!

PS by the way the full nickname was Phutility: Little Bunny Phuphu, Master of Death...I hang out with some freaky SoBs heh
