Aside from that confusing date stuff it sounds like cool stuff! They probably need to see who will be alive in one year from their chainsmoking adventures... | ||

But... NIg's is a really inappropriate name.. I realize it stands for Northern Ireland Gamers... But seriously, you're going to name your team your team after a short-form racial slur? | ||

But seriously, you're going to name your team your team after a short-form racial slur? As we pointed out in a prior thread - we don't really have ethnic people in Northern Ireland, aside from a few chinese families, and some romanians. To us, racism doesn't really exist, so it wasn't apparent to us that it was a racial slur. | ||

But seriously, you're going to name your team your team after a short-form racial slur? I explained pretty close to the OP. We made the acronym, spelt it out and didn't realise it'd be construed as offensive until later. Miscalculation on our part so apologies to those who are offended. This is also inconvenient for us bear in mind, as people are inclined to think we're trolling and not serious about improving the local scene in Ireland. We managed to badger the people at Ireland's biggest (by participation) convention to let us have an SC2 tournament that was so successful that we get a massive upgrade in facilities next year. We're looking to network with other teams and get all the decent level, or high-aspiring players in Ireland regularly practicing, but the name is holding us back. We KNOW it's an issue so if people would please stop raising it that'd be appreciated I'm not a complete moron, and have said we will change the name when Blizzard incorporates paid namechanges, I'm not spending money on another account in lieu of functionality that should be in the game currently. | ||

What's your new name going to be? That said, good luck with your team house endeavours, the UK could certainly use more gosu Sc2 players. | ||

I thought forums were meant to encourage you know, debate and discussion based upon what members say, rather than blind responses to the first few posts but maybe I'm wrong | ||

Well, I'm glad you guys realize it's an issue, but there is no reason why you can't change your team name right now despite the inability to change your gametag. | ||

@Royalmarine, yeah that's the plan, some of us have been to a few Dublin LANs and placed pretty well, not sure if they were yours though. Sadly I work weekends and they're refusing to give me time off atm so my travelling is somewhat curtailed. That and I'm a relative scrub so it wouldn't be worth my bus/train ticket  | ||
