Let's hope no-one figures out you can PM people via this forum, or use IRC.
I am clearly missing something so devious, I haven't come up with it. Otherwise your observation would just be silly.

If I can't rename my w4n3b2 mage to w4n3b2, I tend to get very upset having to go through 24 icons to find the bastard. But maybe that's just me. For the record, I hate kittens also.
yes, but the elaborate pretender submission scheme is all meant to keep nations anon, so no one knows who anyone is. and if you try mailing random people, then you risk someone giving you up, or worse yet lying about what nation they are and getting you to start wars with the wrong person.

and actually, i am thinking the renaming isn't that big a deal. they could just as soon send you a real message in game, and have the same effect. can't really say that your commander named "letsganguponMictlan" is just an innocent oddity. I'm not sure what someone might gain by communicating that way. In fact, it only opens there clandestine message to more eyes.

so, i'll leave renamingn on
