You were transed to the Realm of the Dead, where the first thing you asked me was, "What's wrong with the name Leaf?" I responded that it was a dictionary word, in violation of the questions that are asked on character creation. Your answer to that: Leaf says "I didn't mean 'leaf' as in leaf on a tree." Leaf says "My brother's name is leaf." We spoke for a while longer, and I was nothing less than unfailingly polite to you. (I was even complimented by a higher imm on my patience.) Polite doesn't mean that you get what you want, though; the name was in violation of the naming-rules -- rules of which you said you were well aware, having had a number of characters before -- and thus disallowed. Your request to get a rename was denied because, as I said, "That's why the questions are there. You chose the name, and you live (or in this case, die) by what you picked." Just be glad you didn't run across someone with less patience, or you'd have seen "An immortal forces you to "Help Goodbye" "You are denied access" about that fast. -- Stellyx Windstone
