Ive been called plenty of four letter names in local.....does that count?

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

The question, Alex, is "What number base give you the solution 42 when you multiply 6 by 9?"

You must be a witch, base 13 is only used by witches, would you like to borrow a towel?

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

I could be doing this wrong but:

36*36*36*36=1,679,616 possibilities

That assumes we are using 26 characters plus 10 numbers. I forget if you can use numbers for the first character in the name though so this might be wrong if you can't use all numbers.

If that is true then a great deal of 4 letter names are possible.

[edit]

Let's say the first letter has to be a letter.

26*37*37*36=1,281,384 possibilities.

Why 37? Because you can use a space in your name.

I am pretty sure if you kept trying random combinations with spaces and numbers you will find a 4 letter name.

Are names case-sensitive?

Sometimes I think you know more about this game than the people who make it.

If you're driven to threaten others with harm or violence because of what they do in game, you can't separate fantasy from reality. That "griefer/thief" is probably more sane than you are. How screwed up is that?
