[X] My Assistant

Why not let the person who has the monster change the name, they are still able to change it after anyway, better them have the choice, no one wants a monster they didn't name and most probably think there names aren't that bad to start with.

Heres my suggestion:

At least three people have to vote for a name change
After three have voted for a name change the monster goes out of commission
Monster becomes active again once owner changes the name and at least one of the name change voters approves
To let the voters know they have changed their monsters name they should PM the voters to confirm

This could work, with a time limit, to prevent monsters of inactive players form being voted out that way. Let's say, the owner has a week to propose an acceptable name, if they don't, the renaming passes to the voters.

Not sure if it would not be too much work for Ten, but at least he can consider this. I think I'll PM him with the link to this post (and so I'll repeat the last idea we have worked out):

The best idea we have is to allow players, likely of high level (could be an unloackable ability at some level, perhaps - 300 ability tree begs for something like this...) to forcibly change the name of a monster.

It would require several (three?) players to agree on this, and there would be a public list of monsters under discussion and who voted, to avoid any abuse.

Beginning a vote may cost something (1 chaos token?), and the voting players would suggest a name, with the nominator having the first pick, and if he declines, this being passed onto the second or the third voter.

Hey Tenboro can you release the Monster named Fluttershy. Someone has caught her before me but he does not feed her properly since she is still very low level.

You raise an interesting point. They are surely many interesting monsters who are not fed properly. How to deal with that is an interesting question. My tentative solution to that would be to allow players to donate crystals to any monster, and once a player has donated more than half of the crystals that a given monster was expanded with, the control should pass to them. This probably needs more brainstorming...

Bad. Higher level players (and those with perks) earn thousands upon thousands more crystals than others and could just take over a bunch of other people's monsters. Not to mention that the original person has to pay the chaos tokens to create the monster.

I agree with DemonEyesBob, that dosen't sound fair, a better idea could be a Monster Shop in the Bazaar where monster owners can put there monsters for sale or auction kind of like what you can do on Forza Motorsport with the cars, and maybe have a thread somewhere where people can post how much they are willing to pay for monsters that aren't already listed for the monsters that have the names that people like or whatever.

This could easily be fixed by requiring Chaos Tokens from the adopter, as if they were creating a new monster themselves.

That's a terrible idea.

The shop / auction idea modeled on hath auctions could work, but that does not address the problem of monsters with cool names who are owned by players who are not active anymore. Perhaps one could take over monsters through donations from players who haven't played in... one month? Two? Three?

That's pretty harsh to people who want to take a break unannounced.

All level 0s should be automatically deleted after a month or so.

Not complaining about this name, but I saw an amusing one, given the ads on the main site.

Bouncing Pink Pony

Not going to read 37 pages but just thought I should say inactive players shouldn't have their monsters taken away. I've been off and on this site for a couple of years now. Mostly off and I'd hate to come back to find out that my monster isn't mine anymore.

Now to solve that, maybe there could be something in the settings where you can allow people to buy/donate/anything else with your monster. sort of like putting on your drivers license that you want your body donated. (terrible example, but thats the first thing that came up).

Anyway, the real reason I came here. Firefoxy and tentacle raper are retarded. Both are based off the original monsters obviously. (well the tentacle monster is a raper when he uses his horrible rape skill). Saw another one but forgot it. anyway, toodles

I just fought a Galaxy Angle. I'm not sure if this guy intended it to be "Angle", since there's no "Galaxy Angel" yet. Who knows.

Also:
Itsuka Tenma
Itsuka Tenma2
Itsuka Tenma3
Itsuka Tenma4

All made by the same guy. facepalm.jpg.

I bet they're all giants as well.

He was pissed because someone already made a Saitohimea? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

I've been coming across monsters with useful yet incredibly dull names, not sure if anyone else here has seen any of 'em yet. Some names include:

Crushing 50
Resist to Elec
Weak against Holy
Slashing 50

Just encountered an AAAAAAA (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Found a monster named "Nigg---er."

Was censored, please excuse if this has insulted anyone, just reporting what I saw.

They're named after things that cause massive disappointment in people.
