What's wrong with the name of my new rider?

Can you write the name and nationality please?

Otherwise I have to tell you that "new rider" is not an acceptable name

If you can change Mayardos to Mayardakos, it would be nice if you don't like it (I just see that most of greek lastnames finish with -idis, -akos, -akis, -atos)

I check. But I wont be in front of a pc until tomorrow. So it could take some time. If not another NC member takes care of it.

[sylvainmeteo]

Ok no problem, I just was a bit surprised

Halli Hallo,

Betrifft Aberkennung der irischen Nat. meines kleinen BlueAngel Evans.
Komischer Name, ich weiß. Aber es ist nun mal so, dass "The Edge", seines Zeichens Saitenspieler bei "U2" mit bürgerlichen Namen "David Howell" Evans heißt.
Und dieser Typ hat doch tatsächlich sein jüngstes Töchterchen, mittlerweile auch schon 23 auf "Blue Angel" getauft. Der Wiki-Beitrag hierzu ist ja ohnehin kein Prob. zu finden, deswegen kopier ich mal eine andere Referenz hier rein:
http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/bo ... 66126.html
Also, ich hab mir gedacht, wenn der Edge das darf, dann darf ich das auch.
Deswegen bitte ich höflich, dem kleinen blauen Engerl die Nationalität zurückzugeben.
Vielen Dank

Edit: Vielleicht hier nochmal eine bessere Referenz (Blue Angel ist übrigens mittlerweile schon 25):

Vielen Dank für die Info. Wir werden die notwendigen Schritte in die Wege leiten. Kann wie immer aus technischen Gründen ein paar Tage dauern.

Hi !
My rider Bojan Kiclic has lost his nationality !

Bojan could have his Croatian passport again please?
I'm protesting because he lost his nationality this night for this reason " clone " . Ok clone for what? Clone for Bojan Krkic , the player from Stoke?
If it is ,i would contest that...
1) Bojan has SERBIAN origins ( even his father is from Yougoslavia , check his wiki's page : http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bojan_Krki%C4%87 )
2) Bojan is a current name in Croatia
3) Kiclic is a name that i've already used ... and was accepted here

So what he had lost his nationality? Could give me back or , give me the possibility to change his name please?

Which nationality did he have? Are you able to chose a new one or was he made stateless?

Don't misguide him! If he's not at home, the postman leaves a not with which he has to go to the nearest post office to pick up the passport. pff...

Mea culpa. FL's work ethics are cheaper for us, so we have to follow them.

Hi my rider Mehmed Akhenaton no longer has egyptian nationality ,yet Akhenaton it is a pharaoh of new empire (1375 before J-C) and Mehmed it is a name use in egypte,therefore please restore citizenship to my rider ,thanks you in advance

So, Akhenaton is the name of an ancient pharao of an empire that existed over 3000 years ago and does not exist anymore, am I right (please also take a look at the term Ancient Egypt and at the the History of Egypt)? And am I also right that the current common egyptian family names have nothing to do anymore with that former empire 3000+ years ago, esp. with names that derive from ancient pharaos? Thus, if you can't prove your point that Akthenaton could be a current egyptian family name with a serious source, the rider will stay stateless.

In conclusion, the name is not real existing and does not sound realistic and hence is not chosen according to the NC rules. If, and only if the community thinks that this name should be considered not to be stateless but also to be ok for the given nationality, then we should have a discussion about roman names, ancient greek names, and others too and state this clearly in the NC rules. Until then, this rider will be stateless with this name.

Personally I think everything is better than Allagens use of "I take 2 obscure german words, mix them together and voila here is my german rider: Hartwigsen, Kackebart, Kotzo Kotzev etc. Imo these names "hurt" more than someone who doesn't take the time to google his name for perfect correctness. Akhenaton sounds ok for egypt imo but if it's not due to FK-guidelines that's ok too.

The Nation’s Committee needs you!

The RSF/C4F Nation’s Committee (NC) is responsible for checking the names given to riders by RSF/C4F players to be according to the NC rules/guidelines. The more members the easier the job gets. Unfortunately, not many of the current listed members have been still active for the last month. So, the NC needs new and active members:

Are you interested in helping the game that you love and have the time to do it? In participating in the Nation’s committee (NC) to make sure that the rider’s names look nice and shiny according to the NC rules? Are you objective and neutral enough to interpret the rules in the games spirit? Not afraid of discussions with other NC members about difficult cases? Are you thick-skinned enough to answer to hot-heated appeals with the necessary coolness?
Then apply now to become a member of the RSF/C4F Nation’s committee!

Send your application to Team FL with a PM. It should contain the following information:
- Team name;
- citizenship/place of residence;
- languages (write-easily);
- and most importantly the answer to the question: why do you fit for this job?
