Grim_Jokes Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 No, I'm going to, but they say u can't copyright a name. So can u copyright a clan? I would think copy-writing a clan would mean people can't make a PK clan similar to you. Proud founder of the Myriad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_renn_man Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Why don't you find a new name? Then you won't have to worry about people stealing it. Honestly, I think that a fair war should decide who gets the name, rather than fighting over it in forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thataznboy Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 That's why clan names should be unique, and not like "Shadow Warriors" or "Flaming Blades" .::::'The' Clan - 8+ Years And Still Going::::. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wild_goat_14 Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 :? Really? Oh, that would mess up RuneScape wouldn't it? I'll ask the Copyright office what I'd be copyrighting if I copyrighted my clan. You cant, its a game people can do what they want to(within the rules) Also, very generic name, and you are surprised it got "stolen"? I shall take my flock underneath my own wing, and kick them right the [bleep] out of the tree. If they were meant to fly, they won't break their necks on the concrete.So, what is 1.111... equal to?10/9. Please don't continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igna Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 I somewhat agree with Wildgoat. It's not an extremely original name, so I would get used to other people using it; personally, it wouldn't bother me if clans that don't really go on forums or don't seem to amount to much took my clan name, as I would never really come into contact with them unless I went out of my way. The best protection against getting your name stolen, always, is getting an original name. For instance, how many clans have I ever known with the name "Adelais"? Just one really. Of course, you don't have to change your name; you just might have to get accustomed to your problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark_Lord552 Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Well I think it's kind of mean for you to go hunt down people that used a common name for their clan. Seriously though it is their freedom to choose anynames they want to call themselves. Just because You had the name first doesn't mean someone else can't use it. In addition, having the same name isn't really a big deal, the two clans don't interact with each other anyway. But that's just my opinion.

Dbzruler72 Posted January 9, 2007 Author Share Posted January 9, 2007 I respect ur opinion {\:- ) But I don't agree :D I think that clans should do some research first before they pick a name for their clan. If the clan leader picks a name for his or her clan that has already been taken, where's the respect? For example, if I somehow went crazy & closed my clan :ohnoes: then came back from insanity, I maybe would want to start my clan again. I decide not to call it *-P.K.Masters-* , but something else. If I'm my usual self, I wouldn't pick Damage Incorporated, or Corruption, or 'The' or the famous Brotherhood of Steel from back then, etc. because I have respect for those clans. I'd probably pick Dark Slayers or Reign of Terror :lol: Just messing with u, I wouldn't use those names either because I have some respect for them that they have worked hard enough to get a high rank. I'd do my reseach & look for a unique name. That's just me though : *-P.K.M-* Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horntail203 Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 i totally agree with marqouth on this one, ADELAIS FOR LIFE, No one can steal our name, but if someone did, im sure every one in adelais would be ticked off, and i wish you luck in recovering you stolen name.

The Observer Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Yea. And it would get confusing because if there was a clan war that was "PKMasters vs. Adelais" or something like that, people would think that WE warred them when we didn't.

Oo_Rage_Oo Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 My clan (Valiance) was origiinally called Valor, until we realised that the name Valor was taken, so we changed it to Valiance asap, to find out there was another clan with the name 'Valiance'. But the other clan has been inactive since October. Theres so many clans now that its practically impossible to think of a decent name that hasn't been taken. ~85+ Range~~75+ Mage~~Proud High Council of Valiance~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bufoman Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 well its interesting to say the least. we where accused of stealing the Knights Of Honor's name awhile back. thing is we where called the Knights Of Honour for over a year so we where abit unwilling to change our name. so I went ahead and made a disclaimer on our recrutement topic letting people know we where not the same. finaly for more reson than one we changed our name to the latin translation of "Militos Deci" it took alot of research to pull off I can testify to that. my point is if A clan has the same name as anouther clan they should at least have a disclaimer that they are not the same one as the other. but yes its difficult to know if your name is already taken, I googled the name for a long time and never got anything runescape related for Knights Of Honour. so I cannot be sure if Militos Deci is not taken as well but at least I checked. well at any rate hows it going now? are those other two caveing in to your demands or not?

handyguy Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 My old Clan was Clan Forever for about a year, then a new Clan came along with the name Clan Forever, so we asked them to change. After a bunch of flaming they changed it to For Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
