Hello, pardon me I know we are not to intervene with bans we aren't involved in but I just thought this (may) be useful.

The Google Search literally shows nothing, also, I'm pretty sure that dude on the Wikipedia page is no one particularly famous, I chose this name at random. Choose any name and I can get you a Wikipedia page about the name, Mohammed Farag is not a famous name.TheCubscout wrote:Hello, pardon me I know we are not to intervene with bans we aren't involved in but I just thought this (may) be useful.

Re: Ban Appeal - Megalopeos
Yes, you happened to stumble onto THAT name, the name of a controversial torture victim. I initially planned to just ban you for telling marines on the shuttle, "We're fighting Xenomorphs." "They're black creatures who infect you with facehuggers." "The facehugger then bursts from your chest and kills you." But I let you off with a warning, then when I went to your notes, apop specifically said, "If he uses another historical name again, ban him."

Re: Ban Appeal - Megalopeos
No offense or anything, but you really need to avoid using names that could potentially be taken as historical or referential. I understand if you think it's funny and all, but we have a rule against it because it used to be rather ridiculous with the amount of Barack Obamas we had running around shooting aliens.
It's just for the sake of universe/RP continuity so that people don't groan when the 44th president of the united states shoots their xeno self to death.
