The Dossier
1 min read
Part two of the handbook. One card per feature, written as the file the police keep on you, or the file the family keeps on the city. This is where the exact rules and formulas live. Every number comes straight from the game.
Part one, the basics in plain language, is in the handbook.
Nickname
What it is
Your name on the street, in the file forever. Your nickname is your name in the game, on the leaderboard and on your profile. It's unique. The system account's name is reserved.
Where to find it
The login screen when you create your account, and everywhere a player name shows.
How it works
Length: 3 to 16 characters.
Only letters, digits, an underscore and a hyphen. No spaces. The underscore can't be at the start or the end, and not twice in a row. There has to be at least one letter in it.
Your nickname stays after a murder and after soft prestige. You start over with the same name.
Uniqueness ignores case: Hans and hans are the same name, also when logging in.
Names that look like staff or the game (such as admin, moderator or movetio), also in a different spelling, and slurs are not allowed. Upper or lower case makes no difference.
Costs, returns and limits
Costs nothing. A name that's already taken is refused.
