Very Stupid Question.

Post by Daedalus »

:oops:

I have tried to get an account several times. My story writing skills are not up to scratch so I havn't got one yet. I was just wondering, when you get the first e-mail (the one with the two questions), it always says at the very top "please always specify your character names". I just wanted to know why it says that. After I create my character, I go to the web site and request an account. When I do I always include my character name, so why does it act like I haven't? Am I soposed to put my name in again somewhere? if so, where?

I thank anyone who takes the time to help me with this. I know the answer is probably quite obvious.

Daedalus.

No it isn't, I wondered about that too actually when I created my account. Well, I simply put my chars name in the mail I answered the two questions in and it worked unproblematically. But I fear the actual problem here is that you have no experience in roleplaying, which is needed for the stories. 'Cause if the problem was that you didn't specify your character name in your answer email the GMs would have ask you for it probably.

Well, keep on trying.

Good luck :wink:

Specifying your char name in your email is important for us. It makes our work easier if there are any questions and to see whos story this is. And do you know how much mails we got each day? You would be very astonished. :shock:
But still no acceptence must be 'cause of your story not because you didn't write you charname.

I could be wrong, but I think the name is a bit older than that.

Wasn't Daedalus the father of Icarus - the guy who flew too close to the sun?

Indeed. In Greek Mythology, Daedalus built a pair of wax wings and used them to escape from the island of Creet and fly to the island of Santorin. Later his son Icarus took the wings "for a spin" and, against his father's warnings, flew near to the sun. The wings melted and Icarus plunged into the sea.

And no, Daedalus is not my game name. It's not original so it violates the name rules.

good Daedalus. If all the players obeyed that rule such as you do, rp would be much more fun... i shall not name any names, but reading LOTR and some other mythological books and legends and tales, makes you realize there are much more players of illarion who have non-original names than you think you know of.

Yes, and a lot of those people are very good roleplayers.
