Im Get'n Very Pis*'* (correction) Very Mad..

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
Have always been into Star Trek, pay'n $60.00 for tha game and been pay'n $15.00 a month on top of it, and i hardly even get on cuz im affraid of that dread'd, (im rear admiral, so what do i do now), but thats not my complaint..

Assume'n this game is anything like tha Star Trek i know, or even tha way they advertise'd it, now thats what bothers me..

My user name is 420Marijuana, and yes im a pothead like many others, but now it has been changed against my will to a "NoName123456" or something like that, and even worst, got a msg threat'n me to kick me if i dont change my name..

They advertise this game to make new races and backgrounds to make life diverse, (i even have a whole biography give'n a legitamate background to my race), but what is tha diversity if they are gonna say what is allowed or not.. They are be'n just like tha Admiral on Deep Space Nine, Season 4: Episode 11 & 12 (Homefront & Paradise Lost), do'n what they think is right on their own, and not care'n what any one else thinks..

All i can think of, if this was actually Star Trek, then a friendly peacefull Pot Head Race, who is will'n to help any one they can, in any way posible, would be more accepted in tha Federation befor even Klingons would, (even a number of other races, Romulans, Kardasians, ext..) And personally im like Rom in Episode 16 of Season 4, i dont have much to lose, so im stand'n up and complain'n.. (and sure i could relate more episodes, see'n how this is saposed to be Star Trek) and from watch'n every episode execpt a few seasons left on DS9, this realy is'nt hard for me, tha Federation believes in meet'n new life and not interfer'n with their ways of life, so why is mine be'n interfered with, and why am i be'n threat'n to be kick'd and my name be'n changed to NoName123456??, and back to be'n like Rom in that episode, i would rather lose what i have than give in (so if Game Masters feel that way, then kick me, it only shows your true nature of greed of money), also is be'n worse than tha Ferengi's, cuz at least they would'nt get rid of pay'n customers, and thats assume'n i was even a bad person..

Personally i think it could be interesting to find race's of Meth Heads, or whatever else, not to be drug related, (p.s. i hate meth, and still not against it for a Star Trek Universe), but Diversity should be key in tha game, and not select'n who you want to play..

Either way, could make a story here, but try'n to keep it simple and related to tha game, and would love to have tha federation accept me, than rid of me cuz of be'n a different race, (and i never knew tha Federation to turn its back on a race for be'n different..)

    Read the EULA. It has nothing to do with ST ... you are breaking real life gaming rules with drug references.

    so if im reading that correctly you are upset they want to remove a drug reference from your name, and think they are greedy for doing it?

    i know that they say mary jane has no side effects like tobacco, you know no lung cancer and all that jazz, but it does actually damage your brain believe it or not. it is also (mostly) an illicit drug, illegal, and not the sort of thing any game company usually allows in game character names.

    this is also not the real federation, but merely a game. and cryptic says no drug related names ingame. sorry mate but thats the way it goes.

    Got to be honest i found you're post quite hard read Badname12378 (lol)
    Yeah like what has been said, a reference to drugs, on your @name of all things is against the EULA.
    I wouldn't take it personally, just take it how it is, opposed for legitimate reasons, one of those being it's a promotion of a drug, a promotion as in you're @name being displayed 24/7 for anyone ingame that might see it and start thinking.
    Thats a petty example i can appreciate that, but never mind eh.
    Oh, not that i approve or anything, but it has been proven (via a documentary few months back on the BBC) that Marijuana connects broken links from brain receptors, and raises saratonin levels, neither here nor there.
    Log into the game and enjoy it mate, it's startrek, have a blast!

    First off you have nothing to be mad about your name and the so called race you created can only come from a pot head. Someone who see's drug use as humorous and dont even lie to me for when you wrote your bio and made your name you sat there and laughed. You were prolly high when you wrote it making it even funnier to you. Well i support cryptic for them removing your name and possibly kicking you. This game is rated T for Teen not M or in your case IM for imature. There are kids playing this game and as a father of a pre teen myself we have a hard enough time keeping our kids away from people like you without you gloryfying drugs in the games they play.

    I neither condem or condone drug use what you do in your home is none of my buisness but when you bring it into the open you better believe parents like me will put you down.

    I hope this thread is deleated and your banned from the game but not befor you get a chance to read this.:mad:

    im am very glad to see responces and im hope'n to see even more :D

    a few of my thoughts are:

    1 - I started smoke'n Cigarettes when i was 7 years old, very addict'n, and will kill you over time, and i wish tha addiction was'nt so bad, and i wish that my whole life was'nt revolved arround em.. (but when i was young, tha commercials was focused at us kids)

    2 - Alcohol is very addicting, but legal too, and i start'd binge drink'n at 15, and as old as i am now, it still not consider'd bad names in a game, (even as unhealthy and as addicting as it may be)

    3 - Pot, it has never caused cancer, made anyone brain dead, been addicting, or any thing.. But it has made good profit for tha Govt. who says its bad..

    who are people to judge whats good or not, unless they live some one elses words and not what they learn on their own, how lame..

    but befor i say more, i do love hear'n tha responces, good or bad :)

    Oh, as far as kids go, i love mine to death, but i dont hide truth of drugs from em, thats TRIBBLE'd..

    Any one thats been a kid knows that if your told something is bad, but every one else is do'n it, than tha kid is gonna do it to find out whats so bad about it that every one else is do'n it..

    I dont hide noth'n from mine, I tell em all truth, good and bad, and they decided on their own, so i dont know if im proud or not about em choose'n not to smoke pot, but i am proud that they made tha decision not too on their own, and that free will of theirs makes me most proud, and i could make a story of how proud i am of my kids, but thats self explanitory..

    Not only does it damage the brain, THC compounds build up in the fatty tissues of the body for long term storage and can cause genetic problems in offspring. However, BECAUSE it causes brain damage and a severe lessening of cognitive functions, I've learned long long ago to not even bother trying to debate anything with a stoner. They won't beleive any facts that you show them.

    In any case, the OPs post and subsequent replies are excellent examples of why people shouldn't do drugs. I only wish Cryptic could get Child Social Services involved in what is in all likelihood a very bad situation for the children.

    Irrelevant.

    This isn't the place to mount your soap box and extol the virtues of something that is illegal, no matter how much you like it.

    That said, if your ballistic approach to spelling, grammar and punctuation is any indication of Your Brain On Drugs, you might just want to give it a rest and go clean.

    You know, I'm not sure how the laws of the State of California work - being where Cryptic are based - but where I live, if I'm aware of something like this where children are involved and I don't report it, I can go to jail too.

    Guess it would depend on the OP's state laws and Cryptic's state laws.

    Might want to check into that one, folks at Cryptic.

    good for you, take a stand mate.
    /sarcasm

    not only are you permanently harming yourself, but you are encouraging that damage on your kids. if they arent affected by your own usage of course.

    sooner or later "dad does it, so it cant be all bad?"

    alcohol is legal. tobacco is legal. pot is illegal (in most countries around the world at any rate) so cryptic cannot support its usage. get over it, and return to slowly killing your brain and deluding yourself that pot is safe and non addictive and will not bring any harm to you or your family.

    It is legal here for medical usage.

    Also, I do notice that all these non-smokers are slinging horrible insults. If pot is so bad, how come the ones that don't use it are so mean?

    I would debate the other ignorance posted in here, but this is not a forum for that type of discussion. I would recommend looking up real facts on the subject before making unfounded false claims.

    Oh, and in before lock!

    i care not how old you are, and no i do not lie to my kids thank you. i just see no need to encourage them to form such bad habits as drug use through the foolish presumption that telling them all about it will discourage them, let alone using it with their full understanding of what you are doing to yourself.. feel sad all you want, you are the sad one here

    non pot smoker yes, recovering lung cancer patient from tobacco smoke though. my days of the green and brown weed are well and truly behind me. and no, it isnt the right place for discussions like this, you are correct. as for real facts, the only people that dispute pot can damage your brain and lead to other health problems, are pot smokers themselves...

    To everyone hating on someone just because of what goes in their lungs:
    Roddenberry, according to Engel, claimed writing credits he didn't deserve, dressed like a slob, smoked mass quantities of marijuana, cheated on his wife, padded his resume, held nude pool parties in the backyard of his Beverly Hills home, and concocted sleazy business schemes to exploit Star Trek's success (including photocopying and selling old scripts).

    again, you have no idea how old i am, so stop trying the "im older than you, my kids are older than you" line of vomit.

    way to prove my point though. one of your kids smokes pot. *clap clap* good for you and them. education in the form of substance abuse is to be applauded.

    i can only hope his spelling, grammar and general thought processes arent as affected by the mary jane as badly as yours seem to be. then he might still stand a chance at recovery :)

    its not so much hating what he puts in his lungs, its more the fact that aside from medical use the drug is a drug, and an illegal one at that. it has no place in this game, and cryptic state that.

    roddenstoner worries me even less, cause hes not here on the forum spouting how he deserves to be able to use the name of an illegal substance as his name, while sharing that substance with his kids, and being proud of the fact.

    Don't get me wrong, I am not condoning your actions previous and current.

    1: Against the rules to have a drug related name.

    2: Against the rules to talk about disciplinary actions.

    3: Against the rules to discuss drug topics in the forums.

    You will get in trouble for all 3 of those points, especially if this thread keeps up...

    1:
    3: Marijuana has no physical addiction, unless you are smarter than tha ones in Harvard that did these studies..

    Side note: there was a study a while back ago in Harvard about the properties of a tomato, apperently according to them it is a cause of cancer. later they retracted that and said it was a cancer prevention food. Later the spent TRIBBLE loads of money determining if it was a fruit or a vegatable.

    Not everyone doing a study at Harvard is smart, but they are good at wasting grant/government money.

    Still this isnt a game play issue, and your name violated the naming policy, you dont have to agree with it, its their rules and they are there for a reason.
