Who’s that? New user? I can’t put my finger on why, but I have the strangest feeling I will like them.

Hello all. I've been sat on a bunch of half written and poorly thought out media dating back to when I joined in S28. I've decided to ship some of them out, whatever state they may be in. First up one from a season or two ago (can't remember)

As a name changing enthusiast I can appreciate the thought that goes into a good choice of name. I can also appreciate that some of you have no taste what so ever and are happy to throw a bunch of characters at a wall and see what sticks.

I developed a scoring system to judge each players name and have ranked you all accordingly to the scores you produced. But hey, science isn't always right and some great names returned a substandard score so I added another column for what score I think your name deserves.

What is the scoring system I developed you ask? Here it is, feel free to play along at home.

Just a couple points of interest. The highest score achieved was 3.5 and the lowest score was -8.5. A score of 0 means a perfectly acceptable name, average some might say. The white column is the scientific score, the blue column is my personal score.

There are some bloody great examples of top notch names in the league, but this first lot cannot count themselves among them.

(I was going to embed the spreadsheet into the thread but I couldn't get into work so...)

Here are the bottom ranked 20something player names in the league. Here we see a disgusting mix of improper spacing, incorrect capitalisation, numbers replacing letters or even whole words and the dreaded underscore. The worst god damned thing in username history.

There's really not much to say about this group. All I know is these aren't the names of qootballers.

Looking back through the spreadsheet it became clear to me that I was largely very forgiving with my personal scores given to each name. Maybe I'm just more bitter now, but I feel I could have been harsher. Regardless we can see that a few of these bottom tier names were judged to be positives by me. Royboy, Dogs, Thrilla, crazywildhorse, fitzroybowiedog, stkildaman, dockerden and Porps all received my blessing.

While my blessing may be felt, just know that it comes with a heavy dose of "you can do better"

Next update soon.​

I'm wearing this as a badge of honour.

I have considered changing my username to simply Porps. But there's something about this one I can't shake....

 

[T2B_]

I'm finally top 10 in something!

I'm gonna take a stab in the dark here and suggest that your definition of the word 'retired' is pretty loose.
