gollark: Shadowdrake or someone had some *great* name suggestions like "Bob the Unbuilder" on that thread, which I have now used.
gollark: Yes, but if it was a game feature it could be done safely.
gollark: I mean, *arguably* they might be *slightly* terrible ideas with horrible downsides, but you know.
gollark: I came up with the idea of making names a tradeable good like eggs/hatchlings, and wanted to post that along with my earlier one of increasing the length limit and removing character set constraints, in order to encourage more varied discussion.
gollark: I didn't even get to post my great ideas about it.
