The Kalends of Aprilius is approaching. This means it will soon be April Fool's Day. April Fool's Day is HG's traditional date for requesting and granting new screen names, which this year will indeed occur.
Thus spake EXCO:
Uponthis thread thou may scribble thy requested new name, and upon the Kalends, with some luck, receive it.
But before the champagne is uncorked and the bubbly poureth to launch the celebration, we of EXCO would remindest thou that we have some Roolz. We shall be very strict in enforcing them, however it suiteth us.

Name Change Roolz :
Rool Wun. The Winged One changing the name has the ultimate say in what is entered.
Rool Too. Thou mayst NOT select as thy moniker the name or moniker of an existing User or smurf of Heaven Games staff or visitors, or variations thereof. Such attempts may be punished by the selection of another name in accordance with Rool Wun.
Rool Tree. If thou dost choose a moniker of uncouth length or odd runes, thou does lose the Royal Right of Complaint if it is amputated or erroneous runes are included. For objections, refer to Rool Wun.
Rool For. Thou may NOT request a moniker consisting of foul words or parts thereof. Those doing so may be punished by actually receiving those runes, or being granted a moniker in accordance with Rool Wun that they must bear until the next time the moon turns blue and donkeys fillest the nightsky with braying shadows.
Rool Fife. Banned users are not allowed to request name changes through others. If thou art banned and wish for a new moniker, tough rocks. Tryest not to get thy arse banned in the future. Participation is restricted to those who follow all of the roolz.
Rool Sicks. There is no Rool Six. It does not exist. Any proclaiming to know Rool Six, or even know of it are in severe danger and may be terminated without prejudice.
Rool Seffin. Thy moniker is thy moniker. Thou may not request the moniker- real or virtual- of any other person without their express written consent turned in by electronic courier to my court in triplicate, with the required twenty seven colored, glossy photographs with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining the photograph and its relevance to the name-change. Of curious note is the case of Celebrities and other Famous People: They do not count. And if one selects any Playboy Playmate, Twisty’s Treat, or Hustler Honey, I want proof of the person’s existence in the form of minimum eight JPGS between 60 and 120 Kb depicting this person so that I can judge whether the name is worthy of being requested. The more skin, the better the proof. Oops, please forget all after the sentence concerning Famous People.
Rool Ate. The judgment of the Divine One in determining adherence to these roolz is final. If in doubt, refer to Rool Wun. Thus if thou does not like what thou hast received, thou has the right to keep thy trap shut and learneth to deal with it.
Rool Nein. By applying for a name change, thou art signifying for all legal intents and purposes thy acceptance of these roolz and their proper execution.
Rool Tin. Name change requests are processed serially- from the first post through the last. This is done as it is written, so editing your requests in later will most likely result in you not getting your choice. If you change your mind, do NOT edit- make a new post instead. If you screw up and edit anyway and do not like the result, refer to Rool Wun.
Rool Elfin . You may only request changing your own name. Requesting a new name for another may result in you incurring the wrath of the angels, which could in turn result in unexpected and unwelcome consequences- such as a sudden new name for thyself in accordance with Rool Wun.

Annecks Wun. This ain’t no rool per se, but something y’all ought to know. When y’all’s screen name gits changed, yur original log-in name gits displayed under yur screen name in parentheses, with an "id:" preceding it as in this example:
Tom Jones
(id:Joe Schmoe).
Thus endeth the text.
