Name in Game Alpha

[koshensky]

That's very peculiar, it definitely worked before because I looked and then laughed at Ronanc. This is important, because everybody should laugh at Ronanc.

[ronanc]

[Azarath]

I don't laugh at ronan...

...mainly cause his avatar looks like he killed a kid then drew a chalk crown for him...I never laugh at psycho's

Have the emails been sent out yet? if so i have not goten one

[Mas Tnega]

I've had a number of authorised entries over time - long story short: I keep coming back to post stupid shit on the form which leaves my entry unauthorised again; you might call it testing. The most recent was 4 days ago.

Hmm. I made mine a week and a half ago, and I have yet to recieve any mail about the bio. If I got the register mails, I should get the other ones also, right? Not that I'm in a rush to get it authenticated, but would be nice to know

My entry keeps getting accepted but my bio keeps getting overwritten by my name. Anyone else having this problem?

[Eek!]

I never got an authorised e-mail at all (it's been weeks). Yes, at the moment the page displays nothing in FF but I guess it's safe to assume since I got no e-mail I'm still waiting. Do we need to re-submit every time there's a new alpha of the game or should they 'stick'?

I guess I'll wait until the list works again and re-submit if I'm still left dangling.

Same here. When I got my first authorisation email, the bio was only my name (or put another way maybe the first word of my bio). Tried fixing it, but it happened again.

[Mas Tnega]

Do you keep starting with:

FirstName "quine" Surname

Specifically with those quote marks? It's been a problem for a while.

[quine]

Ah well, that makes sense. I figured it might be stripping anything after the double quotes but wasn't sure. I guess I'll be using single quotes for now...

[Eek!]

Just to confirm, being in the Unauthorised list isn't a rejection, right? I've not moved out of that list ever since I entered my details way back.

[Mas Tnega]

Every entry is unauthorised by default and moved to the authorised list later. However, if it hasn't been accepted after so long, maybe it needs reviewing anyway?

Edit: Oh, hey. Some of these have double quotes now. Eek!'s is one of them.

Edit 2: lol, Millicent "I AM a MAN" Baxter. That's certainly one way around the male-only problem.

[Eek!]

You mean if you add quotation marks in the bio field there's a problem? I thought the devs just sort of manually verified the lists rather than anything automated (and thus room for errors). I think I submitted mine back in the first alpha, ho hum...

[Mas Tnega]

There was (and may still be) a problem with it. When viewing the unauthorised entries, they would be cut short by ending just before the first quotation mark. I was noting that there many unauthorised entries that didn't do this.

It may still be the case for authorised entries, as several are cut short in a manner that suggests that character was about to be used, the most obvious examples being ending on a first name. I don't know when the entries were added/accepted so it's really complete guesswork that no one who knows better has cared to correct/silence me about.
