 My Notary reports generally use the nicknames for people that they had
 when they joined the contracts in question, because a global
 search-and-replace is not very easy on Wikidot. I hope you don't mind
 that too much... (You're free to update the Notary wiki yourself, if you
 want to exact a nickname change there.)

I appreciate it - certainly don't need to revise history on my account
(I was actually a little surprised back when Michael set a precedent and
did it for Taral/eris in the FLR), just thinking of going forward.

For others:  I shouldn't have to say this and I can't speak for 
JCMF Edward, but I mean my nick change as seriously as Taral meant 
eirs a while back... never felt that Goethe suited me much anyway, it 
was a nomic in-joke c.a. 1992 I've never been an especially die-hard 
fan of Johann Wolfgang.  

And I will remember what G. stands for so you don't have to.  

-G.

 Sure it does.  So does Kerim or G. or maybe G at the moment.

 Using a nick (or in this case a nick for a nick) that a player
 selects for emself (when doing so is not a burden for the
 recordkeepor due to length or overfrequent switches) is simply a
 mark of respect, courtesy and politeness.  You can choose
 whether it suits your purposes to use such manners when you play.

 My view is that Goethe is in fact what you selected for yourself, and
 unless you express a serious desire not to be addressed by that name (I
 do not believe that changing your nick to a series of random buzzwords
 expresses a serious desire to be addressed by that name rather than
 Goethe), I don't go wrong by addressing you by that name.

 If you seriously want me to address you by that name (likewise, if
 Warrigal and ehird seriously wish to be addressed by Tom and Arnold,
 respectively), then I will, though I will likely have to abbreviate the
 longer names.

 And coppro, I apologize for the earlier semi-pledge.  If it
 suits your purposes, such as they are, to use a previous name
 for me, I'm happy to overlook it.  I'll probably forget
 sometimes too.

 Hopefully I'm popular enough that I don't need your vote. :P

I'll continue to abbreviate my nickname using G., and will use that in
my own reports.  I will continue to pronounce it Gravity Circumference 
Line Deja Vu Cardboard Duck e^(-kt).  However you choose to pronounce 
G. (Goethe, Gravity or otherwise) in your own mind or universe is 
outside of my control, it's merely a reflection of the respect you 
decide to grant to others and how others see you in response.  

Looking at at least some reports, I don't see that too many have had
trouble with Tom (nor some of us for that matter remembering Abraham
Delacy Giuseppe Casey Thomas O'Malley when the need arises).

I can't speak yet for YMCMBF Edward (e.g. I already got it wrong in
at least one past post).
