Thralls in Chats/Double Names

[Every]

So, this is two separate bugs but they may be related.

There's already a Nova in the game, a thrall, but last night we had a new player come into the chats with the same name. Thralls aren't supposed to be able to enter the chats, so it's possible the game creation isn't catching it if someone comes into the chats directly?

I had a Rory on Blood and noticed when the reunification we had one as well on Path [name change happened], so it's very possible the double names might still be in play with the merge happening.

I'm not seeing a member listed on the form as Nova at all, and on the grid it only shows the thrall. Makes me wonder if there isn't some sort of manipulation that is letting people get into chats without actually creating a charry.

I spoke with Josh [the owner of the original Nova]. He still has access to both her forum account and her grid account, so I'm not sure why there isn't a Nova showing up on the forum (unless thrall accounts don't show up?).

Just testing permissions to post, but the account is totally here, lol.

Yeah, the account showed up for me, so maybe it had something to do with this being your first post. I totally thought you had made another under this account. xD

There's also doesn't seem to be a Nova on Blood either.

Maybe the chats aren't catching the already taken names in the database?

Just to add, Dopples are able to enter chats as well but I don't think they are supposed to be able to just like thralls can't.

ETA: Lusa was in chats but shows up as a thrall when you check the name.
