There is a Duergar thief running around with the Name Ryan. RYAN for fuck sakes. what kind of Duergar name is Ryan?

One of the FTA'ers is named Ryan, I work with a guy name Ryan, ever heard of Nolan Ryan?

It's one of the more common names around. every tme I see the guy I think...How is this possible? And he is ranking as well.

There are half a dozen Logs below of people being Denied for names that to me seemed at least fantastical, and I can think of one instance where they were wrong alto gether but still blasted the guy.

Farqual they thought he was Far-q-all At any rate what the hell. how about a little consistancy?

Rant off...back later.
