[Carlos_Benitez]

Tonight I encountered 2 players, both abusing some Benitez names. I enclose screenshots.



Normally I wouldn't be too bothered, except for that 1 of them is in Gamma, behaving and RPing as a Corsair, and effectively rubbing his name in my face.

To go through and explain...Carlos is my name, its what I am known as on the server, and if you where to strip away my "Corsairs-" and my "_Benitez" tags, there would be nothing left but "Carlos".

Jose_Carlos is more worrying, as it is an amalgamation of 2 names of high ranking Benitez members. Hanging around in Gamma, this one could easily confuse people into thinking that he is a shared account between me, and my 5th in command.

They hide behind the defence that "its not exactly the same, so its fine". When someone has 6 or so accounts with different permutations of the same name; "Carlos", or "Jose", this is the kind of thing that upsets them.

This is an RP server, which should surely mean that individuality and distinction between names is more important here, than anywhere else.
