Well, I use Rich)G( for my talking Golem (warrior) because, oddly enough
it's the name I post under and I get confused trying to keep track of
people's names. : )

There is a terrible rumor that someone is logging on from my account as
BKDaemon, but I would certainly never take that name as my own as that would
mean that I had created a character for the soul purpose of destroying
barrels. It would also imply that there were some games where I went through
and killed barrels only and didn't kill monsters. I am trying to keep my
probation in the DoW as short as possible so wouldn't take part in any of
this sort of terrible behavior. I can't believe someone would use my account
to do this, but there's no end to what those evil critters over in the LOS
will do. Hopefully that rumor has been put to rest now.
