# Core Rule 13 - Use realistic character names, and do not use names of famous people
|
|
- No names of people or characters from the real world
|
|
- No titles/honorifics
|
|
- Must follow all other rules (no slurs/sexual names/etc)
|
|
- Usernames, objects, random characters, very "low effort" names, "meta" names, or otherwise implausible names cannot be used as names. See examples below.
|
|
- Admin rulings on IC names are final and disputes should be done through the forums, not by refusing to comply with an admin
|
|
|
|
Clowns and mimes are exempt from the prohibition on titles/honorifics, and have loosened restrictions on low effort and implausible names.
|
|
|
|
## Clarification on "Meta" Names
|
|
Meta names are ones which attempt to take advantage of some game mechanic or game design choice. "Urist McHands" is a meta name because it is the default name used for admin spawned humans. "Operator Whiskey" is a meta name because it follows the naming pattern of nuclear operatives. This rule is not intended to prevent things like nuclear operatives using a fake ID with names that appear to be nuclear operative names if they decide that they want to do that.
