Why do people keep confusing one of my characters for someone called Tazen?

[Camazotz]

Who is tazen?

And why did they sort of steal my name (except not really)?

Tazen is a GM who has been around for quite some time.

Who did, but not really, steal your name?

[Camazotz]

I wonder... before or after me?

Otherwise I might have, but not really, stolen his name.

Tazen is the greatest gm of all time, he is one of my best friends on Planeshift, and i really wish his job didnt make him so busy >.>
but he has been around for years, if i had to guess, id say him and his alts may have been around 3-4 years

[weltall]

i miss him really ...

[Marathal]

Me, too.  He is a very fun guy.

[Camazotz]

.... I never knew him... 

And he joined around 3-4 years ago, as did I , so this problem is still unsolved.

this sounds the same as the event that unfolded in channle chat last time i was online, there was a stronger player, 30 sword mabey, [dermorian] who was critisizing a kra in channle chat for having a name similer to his, he then ooc'ly found the kras location, and then killed the kra for this reason, the kra was armorless and had lv 3 sword, i was there as a witness t the fight, so i killed the dermorian for his injustice, but anyway you go about it IC'ly and in RL people are named by their parents. if two people have similer names, it cant be helped by the person IC and its just retarted to complain about it, i say camazotz, just dont worry about it, it doesnt matter if your names are similer, you are two diffrent people and if other people cant see that, and want to be ooc about it just ignore them, becuasee in my opinion, anyone who complains about similer names, has a lot to learn about rp

really? if i find someone with my name, i kill them. i don't like copycats. that's irl, though. online, i don't care enough. it's not real life so i don't bother.

[Camazotz]

Easily confuzed though. Tzaen, Tazen.

[Earowo]

i wouldnt worry about it, as long as the similarities are not on purpose, people cant legitamitly bug you about it, kinda like how perlan said sombody made an alt named cernun perlan, that is purposful and cann diserve a ban

The first time you mentioned that the name of the char you refer to was "Tzaen". Why not right in the thread start? Then we would not have wondered how someone could confuse "Tazen" with "Camazotz"...

Yliakum is full of thieving scum. I'd have a word with Ligh if I were you, why not long ago I saw him skulking around the Dark Empire HQ, obviously looking for something to steal.

@ Jekkar:

That reminds me on those paranoid dogs who already go crazy protecting allotment gardens when you are just passing by in the middle of the path between them, not even standing next to the fence...

Both House Purrty and the Tower of Knowledge are your neighbors. Get used to Gag or Erelenga passing by now and then. Calm down. Your home is well protected already by your cooking experiments...
