so uhhhhh something like twitter and the new discord handles where it is an alternative than usernames, ban unicode from handles and it can be easier to search for people while we can add unicodes to our display names!

I don't see any reason why

dark jewel
#

he has a true

steel sleet
#

isnt it already disallowed to use unicode shits

#

you can only use basic things like - _ or whatever

#

and that still makes sense to be not different by the handle's format

#

and yeah there's no interesting point to make it since usernames already never duplicate

#

nvm i got the wrong point

#

ok so this is more like "add display name which can be duplicated and funny unicodes can be used"

#

i love how it confuses people catscreeem

wicked geode
#

yeah i dunno i don't really like this idea

junior crest
#

I can understand why someone would request this but it seems unnecessary

dark jewel
#

i do technically want to impl this, but itll only be used for changing capitalization sorrie

#

aside from not liking it theres technical reasons to not allow arbitrary unicode in usernames

#

indecipheralble-mess-of-pixels names are cringe

#

I would love to be able to change my display to uppercase (because font sucks (lowercase L and uppercase I)) but TETR.IO already uppercase everything so lol

steel sleet
#

uppercased hundin = wider evil

raw chasm
#

Oh yeah forgot about that

wicked geode
#

mixed caps and hundin do not mix attackalert

#

if it stayed as hundin i would cringe looking at practically everyone's usernames lol

dark jewel
#

ye

#

ngl i think changing display names using upper+lower is better than what i suggested (lifting unicode rule)

raw chasm
#

Oh yeah its terrible

#

At least its not like youtube live lol

thorn nimbus
#

lol

#

I'd rather take the TTV route of only case-change once you choose your nickname tbh and seems like OP agrees as well

#

Years of using variations on Flood looks a little odd once I got to all caps

junior crest
#

my quesiton in your case is

#

why keep changing it lol

thorn nimbus
#

Because Flood is an elusive username to get in the first place lmfao
I wouldn't have the underscore in my name if I didn't have trouble

#

Overtime it's become my identity as "Flood_" rather than just Flood or other variations when I started solidifying my usernames across platforms (some still don't reflect that for reasons) (and even then, HD ends up in my name because "Flood_" is also taken in a lot of places)

narrow cedar
#

Or something

thorn nimbus
#

???

#

This isn't an issue necessarily tied to TETR.IO

#

And even if it was, the response 99/100 of times would be "get here faster lol"

wicked geode
#

huh? we're known for a semi-generous usurp policy

#

https://ch.tetr.io/u/flood has 106 minutes of gameplay, which i guess is better than most, but at the same time, when we see that a user hasn't even logged in since country flags were implemented, it's a lot more likely that we'll remove it for you

#

regardless it's probably better to keep a consistent identity across platforms and i understand how getting super simplified on tetr.io specifically gets to be annoying lol

thorn nimbus
#

Eh, it's not really an issue for me trying to take instances of Flood anymore anways; my identity's shifted more to Flood_ anyways so it's fine with me lol.

I guess it's my encounters outside of TRTR.IO that make me assume it's usually the case I mentioned where you were too late to claim your name and the best you can do is wait for the name to be unclaimed (usually doesn't happen)

But that's besides the point, I'll be waiting for the time I can change the caps in my name

#

what did i miss

wicked geode
white parrot
#

rare sighting of wupdate used in the wild

#

as for actual input i think what osk suggested sounds like the better option, being able to just change your capitalisation like on twitch

#

yup

mortal estuary
#

The uppercase I and lowercase L should be easier to tell apart

#

Anyhow, I'm not keen into mixing caps with HUN-din since that makes it atrocious
