  I use WL in the game. It may not be convenient to pronounce, but it sure is fast to type. And most of the time the voicecomm is completely unintellegible anyway, so typing speed is, IMHO, more important than ease of pronounciation.

  Wait till you see someone with a name completely made in 1337. It will give you a major headache if you don't know what it spells.

More importantly, will his voicecom consist mostly of annoying music compressed into oblivion over the compression and whining about how 1337 he is?
  
  Please do not play annoying music over voicecom if your name can not be pronounced over voicecom. <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd-->
  I would call that guy 'fool' and I would mute him so you couldnt hear his retarted 1337 remarks and music.

  Personally I abhor people with l33t tags.
  
  As a rule I find they aren't worth paying attention to and have no concept of teamplay, so I don't find it an issue myself. At most, all I ever need to say is "GET OUT OF THE WAY YOU STUPID ****" and one word fits all in those circumstances.

  Actually I do that on purpose, just to show how dumb l33t is. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

  People have issues with my name over voicecomm. It's Goby, like the fish, and Wan, as in "Obi-". Not "Gooby-waan," like "snot" + "baby crying".
  
  Of course, most people can't be heard over voicecomm, I don't know why.
