Most people with colors in the name play better then white colored names, no bitching about this cuz this is treu, i think colored names shuffle would be better then xp shuffle… just an idea 
Colored names shuffle
Even I play with a coloured name and quite frankly I’m shite and I’ve seen this trend in many of the l337 (had to have a bash at the ascii stylee :D) dudes/dudettes out there. By having the coloured name you suddenly feel more windswept and interesting…does bugger all to help my accuracy though.
But hey its a craaazey idea that just might work 
eVil
During a game last night a new player asked how I put the colors in my name. I spent ages trying to type out “You have to use this thingy ^ and then a digit afterwards. ^1” but it kept getting colored and all. I finally got it after a few minutes and he understood it right away saying hi tons of times with different colors. Half minute later another guy asked, how was that done and I said ask the guy I just explained it to.
Now… The guy I just explained it to say NO dont tell, as i immediatly felt rage and need to beat up a boxing pillow because that kind of behaiviour is jst far out. I just spent a long time explaining him and then he refuses to pass on the knowledge.
OK, I think… I’ll just teach him how to put colors in myself. After a few attepmts I got it again and that little creep started out by saying “f u all” in colors. Now another guy asked and I explained it to him aswell.
Now all I got from the 2 first guys was crap. They flamed us with colored messages and they were being really mean. It really destroyed the game. :((( One of them got kicked because he decided to flame his own mates as we spawned.
I mean WTF is going on"!!! grrr im so pissed off about that. I always try to be friendly and open, but i keep getting a big load of crap directly in my face. I’m sick of it
:banghead:
I had to get that out
Guys like these had colored names and they were just a bunch of idiots and new players. The XP shuffle works better even thought the XP does not always show who works together with his team.
I usually say that they should visit RtCWFiles.com and search there for Name Animators. I personally hate name spaming (it messes up the console), but these name animators show you how the coloring works (an PB kicks for name spaming on most servers I play).
if you could see in /players who voted NO during the XP shuffle and people knew about this feature - i bet more shuffles would pass…
I have an orange name just because it stands out better, so I can see kills I make (via arty, or something) easier while in limbo or spectating another player.
Coloured names are ok to a degree, but these people with multicolored flashing names in both UpPeR aNd LoWeR cAsE w1tH 1337 5yM80lS 4nD [[[[[[l04dS]]]]]] [[[[0f]]]] [[[[[[[8r4Ck3Ts]]]]]] around them are annoying 
Yeah! <looks at EvilBob>

What me…oh yeah…my l337n355 (still not sure about this ascii stylee though) shines through 
I was about to change my name o “an innocent bystander” but I’ll change it to ^3M^0e^3D^0i^3K.
I suppose this will make me a better player… or should I put some [[]] too.
Square brackets should be viewed as optional extras, but after many hours of intensive research I can safely say that the improvement in gameplay is slight, but noticeable.
Now if I could get this guy
in me ET name we could be talking rocket packs and homing missiles…retreats mumbling back into his box
LoL! So Trav that was you when it was Me, Donut, Jut and yourself, when we locked teams as axis to just us VS 9 allys on Gold Rush and held them the entire time? LoL, that was good times.
I dont think coloured names mean ur a good player ,the shuffle would be useless IMO and what happens to the non-coloured names?
newbies usually dont know bout colored names then again crappy quake3 players do. in dutch we just say use a “dakje”. But it’s called a circonflexe i think.
