Name changing
Can you change my name? Everyone thinks I am a girl. I know it is supposed to be hard, but can it be done?

Can't be done because of the way the game's programmed...
Bad [violet] for not having one field only for the username, and everything else done by user_id... :P

Without wreaking havoc with the game? No, sorry. The way this game is coded, changing the national name is theoretically possible, but so difficult in practice as to be completely impractical.
Incidentally, this is why nations with offensive names are deleted; the names can't be changed, so there's no alternative.
If you really want a new name, you'll have to start a new nation. :?

Yeah, I guess if you changed someones name you would have to go through and change every instance of that name throughout the code :shock:
So the code changes itself with each new nation?
It must be cool to have access to the code, like all those doors in The Matrix: Reloaded.

I doubt it, it'd be more like looking at a wide plain filled as far as you can see with incomprehensible jargon, hehehe...

This also makes you rather "girly"

The only thing you can do is to let that nation cease to exist and create a new one.

IIRC, Letilan Moths eat flesh... :P (j/k)
I'll address that.

The signature picture reminds me of fallopian tubes.

I think the signature's supposed to be some subtle metaphor for pleasuring yourself.
I switching to a new pic. Any ideas?

I always think that your pic is an ugly crab, but it is a butterfly.

Aww? Just because your signature can be interpreted as masturbatory symbology? Wouldn't this alleviate your problem of people thinking you're a girl?
Perhaps, but I really don't like it that much anyway.

Sorry man. Due to the program of the game it can't be done. Just keep your siggy how it is, and people will think your a guy. ;) :P

Actually the code is perfectly readable and does not change on each new addition, rather a database that the code references to does. I know because I script PHP which is similar to Perl which the game is coded in.
