You might be wrong.

"Suicide Encouragement Hotline" would have only gotten you a 30 day ban.

People really need to learn to count.

The name violates a rule about 24 characters.

It contains 26 and even if you don't count one of the spaces (because it's given for free to separate 2 parts of the name) it's still 25 characters which is more than 24.

Aide from your name using that of a real world Organization... It could also be those ******** local messages you left for people feeling depressed.

I wanted to depress your head agaist my knee.

Reflect, glorify or emulate any real-world group or organization, terrorist society, criminal elements, discriminating organizations or their leaders and figureheads. This includes the use of names of real-world military, political or religious groups.

I may be crazy, but Suicide hotlines are common. Therfore is a real world group/organization.

I was wondering: "In what coutnry do they have 8 digit phone numbers?" and realized that, probably, none do.

I then remembered learning about dating-conventions. And actually, "2012-04-04" is the European way of writing April 4th, 2012. (Americans would write it "04-04-2012".) I checked your employment history and your character was indeed created on April 4th, 2012. So you are the Gallente Citizen born on April 4th, 2012.

You are a clever troll.


Ireland is a part of europe:

04.04.12

This is not a signature.

Most of Europe uses day-month-year ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_format_by_country )

But personally I prefer YYYY-MM-DD which is international standard ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601 )

Also, incase you didn't know, those names are given by CCP when they rename characters with unaccepted name.

Ah yes, it's International not European. Still, I was correct as usual, and that is what matters.

Real benefit of year month day ? It's easily sortable, as long as it's zero padded.

People that deal with a lot of log files love dates in this kind of format.

Woo! CSM XI!
