This has nothing to do with using a roller...

Point 1
help goodbye
GOODBYE
Your name has been deemed unfit by the immortals of Carrion Fields. We can only conclude that somehow you missed the logon messages pertaining to realism/meaning behind a name. Those four name creation questions are meant to save both you and us the trouble of denying you. Please try again with something more appropriate to this medieval/fantasy world.

Point 2
The name questions
Here at The Carrion Fields we promote a roleplaying environment. Because of this atmosphere, we do not allow just any name you may want. The names must meet a certain criteria and if they do not, they will be denied. The following questions are good guidelines for determining if you have chosen an appropriate name.

Is this name an original name as far as you know (Y/N)?
Is this name a combination of two other names (e.g. Maryjane) (Y/N)?
Is this name found in any dictionary or a common slang term (Y/N)?

By answering as you have to the previous questions you have claimed that your name is completely legitimate in our fantasy world. If you have lied in the previous questions and we deem your name unfit you will be denied without warning. This is your last chance.

Are you sure this name is acceptable (Y/N)?

Point 3
As seen at www.dictionary.com

leaf (lf)
n., pl. leaves (lvz.)

A usually green, flattened, lateral structure attached to a stem and functioning as a principal organ of photosynthesis and transpiration in most plants.

A leaflike organ or structure.

Leaves considered as a group; foliage.

The leaves of a plant used or processed for a specific purpose: large supplies of tobacco leaf.

Any of the sheets of paper bound in a book, each side of which constitutes a page.

A very thin sheet of material, especially metal: silver leaf.

A hinged or removable section for a table top.

A hinged or otherwise movable section of a folding door, shutter, or gate.

One of several metal strips forming a leaf spring.

Moral of the story? Pick an acceptable name and you won't have this problem.

Yes Leaf is found in dictionary but also they are found in the realms and often names are taken from ones surroundings. Hmmmmm.... My thoughts 006:005:29 1/7/2000 (1)
