It's not like I get any pleasure out of telling a veteran, whose character is almost universally appreciated by the playerbase, that they need to change up the character's name. Several people rightfully pointed out that we had a bit of a rules for thee but not for me situation enforcing the naming rule the way we did, and I don't much love the idea of conveniently exempting a staff member from the rules.
For what it's worth, I do stand by the Dylan Hunt sanction. It's a straight import - picture and profession included - not unlike naming a character "Captain Jean-Luc Picard". The only real difference is that Andromeda is probably a lot less popular than TNG. If that goes, anything goes, really.
I'll see if the staff can discuss and resolve this situation today.
Doc never used the import image in roleplay, that's my biggest issue, Dylan has, and it ain't a historical figure.
