I'm sorry but in my experience in this game and many others beforehand, the quality of names is a good guesstimate of the quality of the player behind it. Stereotyping is unfair, but I see CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOLS named characters eating dirt and without any set bonuses a lot more often than people with Proper Spelling and Clever Costumes. Everyone knows about the concept of a "First Impression" and how important it can be.|

To me, DARK-DAEMON-420 with his Black and Red "match colors across costume" made up entirely of one pre-set selection and with no biography or IO sets, he seems to me to be someone who I don't want on my Master of the Tin Mage Task Force run. Yeah I just totally judged a book by it's cover, something my mommy told me not to do... but in my experience I think I made the right decision to ensure a greater chance of success.
