Seriously, is Alex the most popular name in CC?
Are people really that lazy they can't be assed to change the base Avatar name or look when creating a new account?

I vote the default Male Avatar name should be changed to Phil McKrakken and the Female to Hooty McBoob!

If your user name contains profanity, racism or offensive language then Gree will change your name to Alex.

It also gives people a false sense of being hidden... My rivals list has 2 or 3 Alex's most of the time

Still quite a lot of players with naughty names spelled a little odd goes through the Alex filter. I´m not going to mention any here, but a lot of moms and dads would be more disgusted then happy if they saw them.

I like to attack and rob the Alex's and the ones with profane names.
If they think they are hiding behind a name, they're not too bright... and usually pretty weak.

Yes, OP, Alex is the default name in all of the GREE apps.

There is actually an inside joke about why the default is "Alex". He apparently worked here at one time.

Yes, I must admit, when selecting targets to rob or attack, the Name is what usually makes the decision for me more so than level - "King of Crime City" or "I'm the Best"..... Nah, you're going down bro!

I became Alex overnight, I am sure it couldn't have been because my name was SIMILAR to but not an exact copy of someone else's name

Also congratulations to Grim on his defensive win total.

Gree has stated they can't do anything if one player copies another person.

Thank goodness I wasn't the Gree CEO, that name was exact

Impersonating a mod is what they called it.

I prefer to say that it was: showing that Gree does care when someone imitates another and that they can change a players name if they so desire.

If an Alex did work at Gree. Then changing the name to Alex is doing the very same thing

Yeah cause that's totally the same thing

Ha, I always thought "Alex" was a way to remain in stealth mode. So many Alex's that you'd never know if it's one that you'd want to rehit over and over. It's nice to know there's a real reason behind it ;)
