I was on a server today and there was a player named FreeWikileaks. If you don't know or care what Wikileaks is and why he's saying to free it, this thread isn't going to be interesting to you.
If you do care, Wikileaks is a website that whistle blowers can use to publish incriminating evidence against people who would normally send hordes of lawyers after anyone trying to publish it. Such as government officials, military operations, or political decisions.
Wikileaks has always (to put it frankly) pissed some people off. But they've always been able to stand up to pressure to take documents down. Recently they've come under heavier fire than usual and a few groups are trying to actually sue them. So I thought, hey, I'll change my AC nick to FreeWikileaks too, which the other player didn't have a problem with.
So just saying, you should change your nick too for a while if you support Wikileaks and their mission of sorts to allow scandals to be exposed by everyday journalists and even insiders who dislike the wrongs being done.
