Taking the same single name you everytime choose should be considered as Name Abuse.
As I said in the tittle, there are a lot of people taking the same name over and over again which they make themselves obvious who they are. I think it should be name abuse and must be at least 2x watchlist reason. This is not should be only considered as coloured names, it should be considered as non coloured names as well since they can pick the same name over and over again.

It doesn't give an unfair advantage to these players. Also, if we start controlling names just because they're constantly the same, the WL system will be overloaded...
However, I get your point. I tell people to not always pick the same name. However, it is a personal strategy. You can't WL people for that.

Re: Taking the same single name you everytime choose should be considered as Name Abuse.
We are working on a new name abuse policy that should become public this week.
However, I do not find this to be likely to be included. Especially because if you repeatedly choose the same name, you risk being meta'd by the other players, and thus putting yourself at a disadvantage when, for example, you're very quite as scum, people figure that out, and start lynching you fast if you're quiet because they think you're scum.

Actually it does, if he were to pick the same name over and over again people will think that "oh he is picking this name all time and gets town everytime, i may trust him" or "oh he is picking this name all the time, he s always evil i won t trust him or maybe even if i am detective or somethink i ll check him!" and even though the player sare aware of them they still didnt stop using these names they did.

I don't think people think that way.
Edit: Maybe some people do, but it's not a widespread enough issue to be addressed in my opinion, picking the same name every time is a total meta call. I used to play with one of my old friends and I could always tell who he was because he never capitalized his name.

Re: Taking the same single name you everytime choose should be considered as Name Abuse.
I almost always use a color name, and so it's usually pretty obvious who I am. I blacklist 7 town roles, so people usually assume that I'm evil. That's a disadvantage for me, which I'm aware of whenever I choose a name. It's a risk that's worth taking, in my opinion. In my humble opinion, using names that reveal your SC2 identity isn't name abuse.

It is easy to find a player's SC2 name just by looking at the naming pattern. As the god-king said, capitalizing your name (or not doing it) is already a pattern. You can't ask everyone to change completly his naming patterns.

names are meta, meta is part of the game.
the only things that should be considered name abuse are ones that effect the mechanics of the game, not the meta.

Re: Taking the same single name you everytime choose should be considered as Name Abuse.
start new meta, always turn off custom names
mods should increase list of non-custom names to make non-custom games more fun.

SJ is right. Name Abuse is having a blank name so everyone forgets you (e.g. .), or having a name so big that it blocks your role in the graveyard.

Re: Taking the same single name you everytime choose should be considered as Name Abuse.
Honestly... Having the same name over and over only hurts you in the long run. Maybe it could be a intent to fail? That is so hard to judge though.
-
Re: Taking the same single name you everytime choose should be considered as Name Abuse.
This can get worse honestly if you combine it with prefer and blacklist. Someone can prefer veteran, picks diablo with a colored name, and attract all town protectives by night 1.
-
Re: Taking the same single name you everytime choose should be considered as Name Abuse.
Easy solution: If you use prefer or blacklist you get a random Italian name

Re: Taking the same single name you everytime choose should be considered as Name Abuse.
Then you have squrrel whom everyone will start automatically pming him role and lw despite him not being confirmed yet giving him an unfair advantage because everyone just automatically trusts him for some reason. Though I personally know that he's 90% of the time evil and automatically kill him asap if in jailor or vig regardless of his claim

DAS RIGHT.
If you know how certain players think and behave, you can use that knowledge to make informed decisions. Manipulate them; gain their trust; investigate them or subject them to public scrutiny knowing that they're probably evil; take advantage of players' dislike towards certain others to push a lynch/mislynch; etc.
Alternatively, if it's just a matter of personal grudges, then the meta tests how well players can set aside their personal biases in order to play the game objectively.

Re: Taking the same single name you everytime choose should be considered as Name Abuse.
Now that you say it, I did unintentionally keep NOT the same name (one part was always changed) but it was obvious who I am. Alright, it does ruin the fair game with unknown people behind the roles. I will not repeat the same mistake.

Re: Taking the same single name you everytime choose should be considered as Name Abuse.
i think there shouldnt be a rule against it, just a warning to the newbies. but i formyself enjoy playing when i feel like i know the guy behind the computer, as if we are friends playing party mafia rather than complete strangers

Well you cleared that up

Re: Taking the same single name you everytime choose should be considered as Name Abuse.
If a player chooses to lynch "Squirrel" over and over again that's on them. There's nothing wrong in using the same name because people hate the person. This is a problem for simple minded people who use their grudges as legitimate leads.

Because all the autists try to lynch him although he is more than likely a town role, so it rats out the evils, and the occasional arso just makes chaos for everyone. Truly is glorious.
