lol Have wanted to do this, but forgot and need Steph and Rudy's help! It's something fun we could still do as a tribe and this time I could get to play the "joke" on the other tribe! (from Philippines - Tawi-Tawi and Olongapo) It's called "disappearing names!" But if we do it we cannot tell anyone on other tribe - I don't think it's strategy talk - but not fun if we tell! Tom and BJ will know what is going on. Steph, Rudy, what do you think? And can you explain it to the other members of our tribe? Please? I"m in if anyone/everyone wants to do this!

lol I'll try to explain what happened, but Steph will need to give the "how-to" instructions. Olongapo Tribe one by one made their display names disappear, and in place of that put a number in sig area in order of disappearance. It did not all happen at once - I don't know the details of how they did it. They thought they had a great joke and were driving Tawi nuts and I still have to hear about it from time to time from John K. ( I am not amused when he talks about teh great fun and still laughs. ) I did have fun guessing what they were doing. Eventually I was let in on the secret, too and had a number. It was the first time I learned to put something in my sig area. It's only good for the "down time" in games, I think - between challenges and TCs, because very hard to pm, but not impossible (as alicia has taught me) with no names to click.

In the old version of proboards, and in suddenlaunch, if you put spaces as your display name, your name will not show up here on the site (because it will consider it as blank). I think they fixed that bug when they upgraded the software.

Hmmm
Modify Profile Error The following errors occurred:
* You entered an invalid display name. All names must contain at least one alphanumeric character.

Interestingly enough, I can put _ as my display name too? I thought no two users were allowed to have the same display name?
*tries out names of other players*
Guess not. Maybe we should just all have the same display name then. lol

Can we have it with the dash? that looks ok to me - or some new funny idea like a name - but not player's names I think - don't feel comfortable with that.
hmmmm - BOO! lol
but I like the _ and no name - I don't remember how to do it - backspace?
