Brainwashing, idiotic media: "hur dur, vido gaems cas vilenc n iz nt gud. dey ned 2 b baned."

Logic: Really? Then please explain how there's violence in third world countries. I guess they're all poor due to the large amount of video games they buy.

I'm attempting to make a group and I get this message under the name I choose. I have entered 301st Strike Battalion and 5th Assault Regiment. Please help.

It's 24 characters. It's short enough.

I think it's because you can't make a group that starts with a number?

Never mind then. I thought he was trying to make a group named "301st Strike Battalion and 5th Assault Regiment."

Intolerance is the highest level of stupidity and inbred thinking.

Group names can not start with numbers last I checked. Why, I don't know. They simply can't. Try adding some word in front of the numbers or something.

HALO 2 FOREVER - M.I.A.

Yes i have a Twitter and yes i voice my opinion.

Its the letters in assult. the first 3. The name is then filtered out as a failure cause of it.

I tried to create a group once called "Assault of the Spartan's" and it would never work.

Case and point: don't worry about it. Girls start getting boobies pretty soon, and then you'll have plenty of other things to think about. Being an Inheritor is not a life goal.

I had to try it for myself; I'll delete it so the OP can make it under his name.

OP, make sure you're not entering anything else into the textbox (ie. no add-ons are interfering with anything, etc..). To be sure, copy and paste the words Assault Regiment from here, and paste them into the textbox.

You may choose a group name that follows these rules. Please note that some groups have names that don't abide by these rules because they were created before these guidelines were enforced.

* Must be unique (not already in use).
* Must start with a letter or underscore symbol (_).
* Must be 3-24 characters in length.
* Must not contain profanity.
* May contain only spaces, letters, numbers, and underscore symbols (_).
* Must not have two or more spaces in a row.
