That's because people are so hot-headed nowadays and everybody is concerned about faking. The people who are accusing you are probably playing for five months at max and still need to think they are good and well-known (which they are not, obviously). Don't worry about them, they'll learn to think eventually.

Name faking is a serious offence in some servers ( sD* || Public bans people who copy names ), and I have seen some pretty stupimd things being done. If I go back to when I started playing on EviL | Construction, I decided to pull a prank on an admin there names Yumita, however it nearly ended with me being banned

Zantos, it's probably someone who stole you're name and who now thinks it's his
That happened to me allot of times .... Just get into a clan, make yourself known. Done anyone who steels your name now will be then accused. i was meant to named Black~`Out in the beginning but unfortunately in my beginning i played in construction servers..

So whatever.. Well, i didn't play cs2d for a long time now so... (i did visit it 2-3 times maybe..)

Well.. i play as Dragon, my @Azrael prison maps became famous quite fast, so people started faking...
It's really annoying, but i don't care, most part of them don't speak english, i speak, most part of them are noobs, im not, and most part of them don't know even how to put entityes on maps... So, they're babyes that don't have sufficient self-esteem, so they want to fake others to look cool... really, what pathetic isn't it?

I think I've only had that problem once with a person being "funny" by trying to impersonate me on one server.

Of course, he was banned from the server though because he wasn't using a USGN account.

Many people have been using my nickname in many games, I call them all fakenickers. But in CS2D the only genuine way as far as I know is to check for USGN ID and IP to confirm the identity of the player. Best way is to save those USGN ID's and IP's to a text file and then later compare it with players on the server to see whose who. I've been doing this and that's why I know who people are at times. Too bad it only works if you're the server owner, sometimes on servers they include Lua scripts which show those USGN ID's and IP's in msg or hudtxt, which I find pretty good. Identity theft is very common on the internet, it's very bad to become someone you're not. It's sort of like schizophrenia but more like dissasociative identity disorder which is not cool, even on the internet.

Fun fact
The term schizophrenia was coined by Eugen Bleuler.

I do not saw anyone who use my name. Only Mr Music but he do not use my name.

I was before Drayke (not in old nicks in my profile) and anyone on any server (Do not remember name of server it was CS2D 0.1.1.6) rename his name to Dryake instead of my name Drayke.
He was a badass.

All the time I got complaints about CS2D gaming, cheating and other stuff even though I haven't played almost for a year.
And each time I used my name, I got kicked. That's probably because I was fake, hehe.

I had a similar experience, the faker was pretty stubborn and though no-one believed him, he still was assuring everyone that he's the real me. But, after few kind proposals to shut the fuck up, he agreed, and left in peace. And then a meteorite hit the Earth.

That's epic reading right there. Haha. I have like, millions of fake nickers right now... they can't come up with their own nickname... I'm thinking of changing my nickname to something with numbers but I think it wouldn't matter either... but maybe, when I'm mad enough it will be KimKat7. Like Windows 7 but lol, as a nickname. As KimKat7 contains 7 characters it'd perfect nickname for me, haha I hope. Matter of fact I'm changing now.
