Dude, where's my Gamertag

[Goldmoon]

I have decided to finally get a new Gamertag for XBOX Live but was dissapointed to find out that "Goldmoon" was taken. Turns out it's taken by a guy, the weirdo. Anyway, he says he's had it since the beginning of time and wont part with it. I REALLY want that tag. What should I offer to him or threaten him with? Maybe I should ask everyone I know to spam his inbox with messages dememning he give up the Gamertag to me? MAybe I should offer him money? Any ideas? What would it take for you to give up your GAbertag?

And you're calling *him* a weirdo?

Try alternate spellings (like substituting the number 1 for the L).

I say you settle this in true gamer fashion.

Kill him and take his tag.

 

[IcyCool]

I had the same issue when I signedup for Xbox Live, my gamertag was already taken. I've used the name IcyCool online since 1990 or so.

So I ... made up a new one!

I wouldn't recommend threatening him, or doing anything to him that you wouldn't want done to yourself. And if he is truly unwilling to part with it, you should take the opportunity to craft a new name for yourself.

Me, I'll enjoy being Old_Man_Duelfer on Xbox live, and IcyCool everywhere else (but I'm not the only IcyCool on the internet).

When I pick up a PS3, I'll likely come up with a new name then as well.

A knew tag?

I don't own an Xbox thingy....but I go as Pureferret, Ferret, TheRealFerret, Craiginatin etc...I don't see any point in making a fuss over one name.

I don't think threatening or spamming would work, and would likely land you in hot water.

You could pick some other metal. IrridiumMoon, BronzeMoon, SilverMoon.

Or you could pick something that is like moon. GoldLuna, GoldMu, GoldMoose

 

[Tinker Gnome]

That sucks...Kill him and take his stuff.

 

[Goldmoon]

I dont want a new name for xbox live really. I won't get myself into trouble but I will convince him to relinquish my gamertag.
