What do you like the most?
The answer to your question is Yes.
If it's possible for people to take offense; even in a parody, some one will take offense.

I cannot stand for this insult. I challenge you to a duel!
A CAKE-EATING DUEL!

No over-hyperino though
Too late!!
Not enough slots for full idea completion... yet.
Gibs are always welcome! But you could always open a ticket and ask for more slots. That usually means more gibs, anyway... :P
Would you think there's any way for you or other users to find the parody offensive, even after my explanation (and said use of caricatures instead of real usernames)?
Well, considering that not everyone will see this topic whenever your idea is live, I can see they might misunderstand it... But can't give a better judgment without actually knowing what it is... I'm bad at that anyway. :P
Regardless of whether you're gonna be (or already are) on it or not, can you share any info (literally anything) regarding the genesis of your nickname? Pwease? :3
It's kind of a long story, but I'll try to make it short:
I have a friend (Friend #1) who, for some reason I don't remember, was calling everyone (from our circle of friends at the time) Suezo (the monster from Monster Rancher). So I started calling him the same. After a while, we were still calling each other that, so it stuck. I still call him Suezo up to this day, and vice-versa.
We have a mutual friend (Friend #2) that one day asked me something about Suezo (Friend #1), but instead, called him "Coeso" (the portuguese word for cohesive) because of the sound of the word, but I don't remember what it was. So, after that, I started calling him (Friend #2) the same, and vice-versa. :P
Around that time, I lost my email account, as the webmail service I used closed down. So as I had to have an email, I picked one of the big free email providers out there to set up an account. I tried to use the nickname I've always used on the internet (Flicker - it's my nickname on Steam as well), but it wasn't available. I ended up choosing coezo (it was written as to resemble "suezo" more than the portuguese word, of course) as my username and I thought it would be a temporary email until I found another service that I could use my regular nickname as the username. It ended up becoming permanent. :P
Up to this day, whenever my nickname is taken, I use coezo as an alternative (so, yes, flicker is taken on SG. And yes, I tried to change it after a year, to no avail. :/).
That's it, I guess it's full of context? :P

Oh, tons of context.
Tons of material. Especially this bit:
Suezo (the monster from Monster Rancher).
Thanks for that. ^^
As for this bit you wrote:

When i do make it, if all goes according to the planned ETA, i will include a disclaimer explaining in the respective thread. I just figured it wouldn't hurt to get early feedback nonetheless.

Essential how? Isn't calling that kind of reading essential...

Reading about the work of the EMPEROR is not HERESY as it is in his service!
Also more reading.

Beginning to regret this yet?

Nope. :)
Doesn't mean all context will be factored, but one can never have too much of it. And you've provided plenty. :P

I mean, no matter what you do, someone will be offended. But I think most of us will be okay with it and enjoy it.
I doubt I'll be in the story, but my Nickname is based on my actual nickname in real life. I'm a third, and the fifth person with my first name in my family, so I go by Trey 'cause, ya know, I'm a third. Anyway, in my seventh grade class, we were paired up in groups and we had to make nicknames for each other. I said "my names already a nickname, lets just go with that," but no, they decided to call me tree instead. Tree ain't really an original name, so it's usaully already taken when I sign up for a site. When that's the case, I add the first letter of my last name, B, to the end of it.
Lastly, Bump and thanks. Have a Cute Dragon and Happy Deer!

I guess that's a valid point, hopefully with the amount of disclaimers, people won't perceive it as having any bit of malice.
Thanks for sharing the info. :)

Well, some people take offense no matter what you do, so sure, some definitely may. But let's hope none of those you will portray will be of that sort. :-)
(Hm, genesis of the nickname... a friend simply started calling me that, no story there, I'm afaid. :-])

I hope so too. :)
And it's quite all right, the name itself has many references... like the horror movie doll. ;D

EDIT:
Giveaways over. Might add a few more tomorrow or so.
So... thought a lot about making a thread about this or not and oh well... here it is.
First things first:
As for the rest... well, megalomania is megalomania. Crazy idea of big-ass puzzle train in the works for upcoming cake day, that's been draining most of my spare time (and you wouldn't believe me if i told you for how long). Ugh... :/
Which has led me to miss out on a lot of past cake days in the past weeks and some other awesome events people have made (sorry about that, been super busy and should be even more so till upcoming deadline).
No over-hyperino though, please, i just hope i can deliver in time, as time is pressing and closing in. Don't expect all AAA games either. I'm not made of money.
Not enough slots for full idea completion... yet. Hence small train with a few more modest bundle gibs to open up more slots.
IF (and it's a big if, trust me) i have enough time, to go along with the puzzle train, there should be a sort of SG-Parody .
Should that happen, users will be made fun of (or something like that), all in good spirit... as a hommage.
It's for a good cause... THE PLOT. :P
Now, again... should that happen, every username will still be twisted into something else... a caricature, if you will (for the obvious reasons, mostly).
That said, i would still like to point out that some of the users appearing as NPCs in aforementioned parody, i've had little to no interaction with. It's no less of a hommage on my behalf though.
No username (or its caricature, to be more precise) will be mentioned with malicious intent. Unless you're Bear. :3
If you feel you have any feud with me, trust me, your username (caricature or not) will not be on it. If it is, then it's a small token of appreciation for whichever positive contribution you've made towards the community, not the opposite.
Also, don't take it to heart if you're not in it, when push comes to shove. :'(
There's only so much time i have... and so many ideas i can come up with that suit the plot, etc. and such and such. :'(
If i do manage to get at least 80% of what i had planned actually done, you'll (hopefully) understand much better as to why it is so time consuming to include each and every user that has been included, when the time comes.
But what i wanted your feedback on... is this:
Would you think there's any way for you or other users to find the parody offensive, even after my explanation (and said use of caricatures instead of real usernames)?
Regardless of whether you're gonna be (or already are) on it or not, can you share any info (literally anything) regarding the genesis of your nickname? Pwease? :3
Don't be shy... if you could muster the courage to post your mugshot on eeev's thread, it's not that much to ask... :P
It's not that easy to make a caricature of some usernames, without background. :/
And context... context helps. Yes, context. Context is nice.
Sidenote:
The Blacklist... don't want to delve too deep into this, but to avoid drama (not the other way around)...
Sadly mine has grown a bit more than i had ever anticipated, gonna be honest... and i take no joy in it, believe it or not. :/
But please avoid BL drama, if not for me, for the sake of others who surely don't want to sift through toxicity in this thread.
I kindly ask people to avoid BL drama amongst themselves as well... and other type of drama in this thread, for that matter.
That said...
In that regard, and in the same spirit of positivity and open mindedness, I'm willing to listen to people willing to talk to me about being in my blacklist, if they wish to do so.
But i won't do it here, sorry. You can add me on steam if you really wish to do so.
And i'll be completely upfront so i won't waste your time lying to your face. If there's no chance of you getting out of said BL, i'll tell you right off the bat, but won't contribute to any naming and shaming, so will only express my reasoning through steam chat, should you still want to hear it.
The vast majority there i really don't see a way out of it for them, but if you feel you've been dealt with unfairly, then just please proceed as i said. It's really not a big request from me, nor a big concession from you.
It's the first time i've opened that door, and i'm not expecting people to bow down or kiss the ring or whatever ill-conceived low expectation you may have of me. I'd rather not open that door at all for that. Trust me, don't, it's your call, but be respectful of the whole environment here at least.
And i won't put up with abuse either, got better things to do with my life and so should you. Talk to me respectfully and i will do the same.
TL;DR:
The train. Yes, yes, i know, gibs. :)
Don't expect much at this point though, it's what i can for the time being, considering i'm not made of money and am hoping to save better stuff for upcoming cake day.
