Change the player Ienpw III’s name to redtara.
A decade ago when I first changed my name I said I wouldn’t to it again. Well, a lot has happened in that decade. Also, would this make me the first playerto change their name twice?
@Trapdoorspyder yuri_dragon_17, because when I had been a kid I was obsessed with Red Alert 2: Yuri’s Revenge and kept the username for years after. Realising that most people on the Internet had *ahem* different connotations associated with that gave me impetus to change it.
No, I’ve been joranj and Josh and Jeffsheets and Josh again
Pokes was 90000 and before that he was larsatomica, and was also briefly ‘dead. The player named Clucky has achieved victory’, which was, as you’d guess, part of a scam.
The wiki has a list of player name changes, anyway.
I haven’t gone through the entire list but I also *might* be the only player to have had dynasties under two separate names. There is a second dynasty of Ienpw III but not a first.
You could be the first to get to three though; I’m unlikely to change my name again
I’m curious, what exactly was the scam that involved ‘dead. The user named Clucky has achieved victory’?
@pokes ienpw is a representation of the ancient Egyptian pronunciation of the god known in Greek as Anubis. the III was just to keep it unique
@SupernovaStarbright - There was a mechanic that allowed for a player’s name to be inserted into a rule, and pokes / Clucky worked together to try an arbitrary text injection scam that really only just came up short.
My head hurts just from reading those comments, but I think I get it. I could never run a scam just because of how complicated they can get, I’d rather lose the traditional way than manipulate a victory out of nothing.
why not? You ain’t injecting
And to a general sense, will not really support injection scams; but there is a vacuum left by scamming that’s filled by pooling right now, but should’ve been another topic.

I can’t think of why I would vote against this but just curious, what was it originally?
