    Easy to explain, but /nick will provide a nickname for the person if they want to be seen as that. This should only be allowed for VIP, MVP, and ELITE. Of course curse words or anything vulgar should not be in the nicknames, and if so there should be a thing that does not allow people to use words like that into there nickname. I think this would be a cool idea and will go on a bit further with the customization option for ranks.

    If anything this should only be allowed for staff members & media/youtube.
    i dont want to imagine what happens if you give vip, mvp and elite access to it

    I want to +1 but I know this will get abused at some point.

    -1 No point of adding it's just an easier way of acting like someone else. For Example UltraPunisher97 was trying to get the name UltraPunisher and my friend in AUS sniped the name and took it and acted like him and got OP on his server. Imagine if someone nicked as someone on Raid and got in a team and got access to all team warps and raided all of them.

    Exactly what would happen. I still support the idea, though mabye a few restraints, like on many servers with this feature, they would put an uncommon symbol (for MC names) in front of a nickname (for instance "~" ) and you would know that player has a nickname. Also when you do /list real names appear only. Another restraint is to blacklist all current MC names from becoming a nickname to prevent impersonation.

    I'd love to be able to nick as Uranium or Ghale or Nitro, but I couldn't in this case if this applied.

    Personally staff need a nick system badly.

    I am neutral about the idea for reasons stated above. It has potential of being abused. The point with this is the problem of impersonation, like people referred to above.
    Both are great options for solutions.
    If it had a more “visible”, and easy-to-distinguish symbol after and before nicknames I think it would work as well.

    From my point of view, a cooldown for the command would be necessary to be implemented with a time cooldown of 30 days, just like name changes in Mojang.
    This would further reduce abuse potential and spamming name changes.

    Brawl needs to be focused on FIXING bugs and probems not making them.

    True, but why a thirty day cooldown??? Make it like 1 per day.

    I feel as one day is a little and it would bring a lot of confusion if someone changes a name every day. Maybe 10-15 days.

    But being disguised is the point of nicknames.

    Change your name if you don't like your name :v

    This will only be abused. It sounds cool and all, but it has more cons than pros

    Edit : dafuq it posted twice

    What benefit does brawl get for this?

    As stated above, lets focus on the things that need to get fixed as a number one priority.

    And also, I can't argue to much here. Haven't been on a brawl server since a year or 2, let alone Teamspeak.
