Ok, first of all this game kicks ass. I used to play it in high school with my buddies on a Mac, and now it's on windows... Sweet. But how do I change my in game name from Me?

It is a long winded process but please bear with me.
In the past we have had serious problems with peope picking names that were rude, inflammatory, derogatory, disrespectful or just plain silly.
Now I am a broad minded man and I was young once but PLEASE, names like Desmosquarepants are just plain designed to cause trouble.

On top of that we had problems from a certain manufacturer of ehhhh emmmm food of a fast nature which is also wholesome and does not neccessarily lead to diabetes or obesity as long as eaten in moderation and accompanied by regular aerobic exercise. Someone named themselves allcheeseburgersmustdie and we spent weeks in court trying to clean up teh legal mess.

When I say "we" I mean me and several other members of teh secret Winbolo Inner Cabal who I cannot name.

So, the procedure is simple, put half a dozen of possible names up here on the forum for us to see and we will tell you which one you can have. If none are appropriate, we will invent one for you and for that we will require a photograph and some body measurements and food and drink preferences plus we need to know if you are
left wing or right wing, vegetarian or texan, liberal or a tedious old fart, gay or straight and religious denomination (catholic, protestant, other).

Any questions?

Really. I'd use SpongyDesmoronicCubeSlacks myself. Much more palatable.

There'd be sinking involved?

I think Demso thinks that he is a rook, so he would have to sink down to the rank of pawn.


If you don't get this, buy yourself a chessboard and learn the game.(hint hint) :wink: :wink:

Once in a game you can change your name by choosing "Set Name" in the WinBolo menu. If you haven't joined a game yet you can change it by choosing Change Player Name on the tracker search window.

Note that if you are using your winbolo.net signin when playing a game you can not change your name.
