Yeah, a response I gave in another thread made me think of this. ninja

Okay, so let's say you meet someone on Gaia who will give you anything you want (it's someone who's really wealthy and isn't just full of crap). Also, this person is honest and can be trusted. So far, that's good. But, here's catch: you'd have to change your username to something the person chose. Also, it's a name you hate (the person tells you the name). That's the bad side. However, in exchange for you allowing the person to give you a new name, the person will give you whatever you want, be it a super expensive item, or a lot of gold, or whatever. Nothing would be off limits to you. But, once your name is changed, you can never change it back (those are the terms of the agreement, if you accept; also, the person would pay for the name change if necessary).

So, what would you do? Would you accept the offer, even though you'd be stuck with a name you absolutely hated? Would you turn it down to keep your name? If you did accept, what would you get, and do you think you'd eventually grow to like the name?

Well, like every scenario, I think of my own actions. Honestly, I'd be temped (very tempted xd ), but I wouldn't change my name. I really like my name and am too attached to it (I thought about changing my name, but after giving it much thought, as well as getting input from other people, I decided not to).

twisted I'd just change it back later.
     
I would do it! then I would get on my mule and change the name to this name ,and i live happy with my new expensive item! xd
 
     
 
also for the thing i would do it then make another account with my old cool name rofl

i wins cool
     
What'd stop me from changing it back?

Hm?

And I'd just move to one of my mules and re-change my name or something.

And after about a month or so, I'd just change it back anyway.

But if it broke the TOS, I'd tell them to choose something else.

The weather tonight is going to be dark, with extended periods of darkness.
 
First he/she would have to give me 10k to change it and then more items.
     
It depends on the name and item. I might take the item, change the name to whatever for a while then change it to something else. But it depends on the name.

(or I'd take the item and move to a mule for awhile) xd
 
     
 
I would not change my name. I absolutely love my username and never intend to give it up.
     
I'll never change my name cool
