Cheater's Cell

[reelroleplayer]

I logged onto an older character a few minutes ago, and was sent to the cheater's cell. I believe this may be simply because I haven't played it in quite some time (I don't have anything that interferes in my override folder AFAIK, and can play all my other characters).

Can you please delete the character?

Thanks, Funky.

Any chance I could get my old battle cleric out of the cheater's cell? I wanted to make some DF scrolls today but couldn't.

Sure, you have to catch a dm online and have them help you, though.

Problem resolved thanks to Av.

I made a new guy (Puck), and he keeps getting sent to the Cheater's cell. I have no idea what a 2da is, but removed all files from my override folder all the same. The guy still gets sent to the Cheater's cell. My other characters all seem to be fine though. Is Puck just bugged now that he went there once? If so, since I can't get into town to delete him, could you please do so for me? Thanks!

PS I'm assuming it's okay to delete all files in my override folder, yes?

You probably had a character named that beforehand I'm guessing? Sending later same-named versions to the cheaters cell prevents any number of exploits. Pick a different name.

Anyway, I deleted Puck. You shouldn't remove the animation override from your override folder. You can get it an reinstall it from the Crash Fix sticky above.

Yup, I had an earlier Puck. Now that you have deleted, can I still not use the name? I'm having a tough time coming up with an appropriate name for a pixie...Puck kinda worked, TInkerbell just ain't gunna cut it. I don't see many people shaking in their boots over that one!

Thanks for fixing my screw up!

When I wanted to reuse a name I put the name in the Last Name field instead - worked fine. (or in the case of a character with both a last and first name I put those both into one field)

Another option is to change the name - I know its hard to come up with a good name, but here is what I do when I am having trouble coming up with one. When I name a character I think about what classes I want to take or a play on words or pun I find amusing. For example my Sorcerer is named "Daisy Cutter" which is the nick/code name of a bomb. I thought it was appropriate since as a mage she regularly "bombs" things. On the other hand my Assassin is called "Kristal Chandelier" because it is a play on words I find amusing. Usually I start with an idea then do some internet searches to see what pops up. I am always amazed at the stuff I learn during this process!

Anyway, good luck with your new character and I hope one of these solutions will work for you.

Hehe, thanks for the advice. I guess my dry sense of humor doesn't come across on message boards - I was asking a random question in a very tongue in cheek manner.

[FunkySwerve]

Bad advice. The field the name is in doesn't matter for this purpose. You actually CAN recycle names, but only if you have not logged a same-named character on that server that reset.

Funky - I tried making Puck again, waiting until after a reset on the servers, but still got sent to the Cheaters Cell. Am I misunderstanding the rules about recycling a name? Is the problem maybe that I had logged other characters since the reset?

Do you mind deleting Puck (again)? I'll give up on the name so as to prevent a third request. Thanks - CrazyLittleCracka

Deleted. I'm guessing you have tags on a previous character named puck.
