I feel like a kid on christmas day. I have waitied nearly 4 months for this and it has finaly happened. I can have the name Bob the Scribe back. Thank you OSI for your understanding in this matter. And thank you to all you posters out there that stood by me in my time of trouble. A big thank you all round. Yipeeeee....

Congratulations! I'm so pleased for you, I know how long you've waited /php-bin/shared/images/icons/wink.gif

That is awesome!!

nice to see that with a little determination that the system can actually work in favour of a player every once in a while :>

I am curious about the method you used to bring about the change. Were you sending e-mails to specific people, calling, talking to GMs?

Cheers

I personally think it was the pocket tactical nuclear missle.

[Tim Dunkin Dunca]

Gratz Bob the Bard err Scribe.

I'll have to sit and have a think,
About a poem to write,
But I am really too exited,
to write you one tonight.

[Moonglum]

Congrats! You'll have to make a new sig with Erskine crossed out/php-bin/shared/images/icons/smile.gif

I hope they give me my name back! I hate Haynes!!!! They took Craven Moorehead away and made me Haynes, YUCK!

[Jenarra]

Congrats! While I don't know you, I watched this campaign of yours, and I think it's great it paid off. Good going.

[Punx Not Dead]

Congratz, I remember the first post you had made about this.
I am glad to see it has ended in the best possible way.

Good job, and congrats.

He had a character named "Bob the Scribe" for several years....long before they made it "illegal" to use profession names in game (IE: "Angie the mage").

I guess someone with nothing better to do in game than to try and get another player in game in trouble or banned, complained. A GM took him to jail and gave him the random NPC name of "Erskine" (hence the sig). He appealed it (I think it was on the basis of the fact that the character was so old, as well as the fact that there are no NPC's with "...the scribe" in game), and now, after 4 long months, OSI appears to have ruled that "Bob the Scribe" is an alright name to have and will give it back to him /php-bin/shared/images/icons/smile.gif

I think that covered it in a nutshell.

Way ta go Bob the Scribe, you are still da man!
you got your old name back and you didn't get a ban

they knew they were wrong and they had to make good,
or they be gettin' a visit from my boyz in da hood

its bad enough they keep screwin' up a good game,
but to give someone a hard time just because of a name??

that seems a little rediculous don't ya think so??
i mean to take someone's name, that's pretty damn low

i'm glad they saw the error of thier silly little ways,
maybe they realize that friendly service is what pays

nah who am i kiddin' it's OSI were talkin' about,
they hardly ever listen when we yell, scream, and shout


Congrats Bob!! glad you have victory!!!! /php-bin/shared/images/icons/smile.gif

[DrDolittle]

Wow, congratulations. I guess that you can fight City Hall! /php-bin/shared/images/icons/wink.gif

This creates quite a dilemma for me though: Now I am gonna have to take back the last three bad things I said about EA/OSI. /php-bin/shared/images/icons/wink.gif
