Codenames were introduced in Update 1.0. More shall be added as time goes on. It might not be immediately obvious how to engage with this system, so read on for a brief guide and feel free to ask any questions or to brag about your codenames in this thread.
||EARNING CODENAMES||
While using the forum you may receive an alert and a PM telling you you’ve earned a codename. Members can earn codenames through engaging in the forum in various ways, such as posting, winning a giveaway, or becoming a Philanthropy Member.
You can see a list of available codenames on the codenames page.
Much like earning them in the Metal Gear series the methods for unlocking a codename are not publicised. Only members that earn a codename will know how it is earned, though the message may not reveal the exact conditions that must be met.
Members are welcome to share this information and help others to earn more codenames, or to speculate on the conditions to unlock a codename no member has unlocked yet. Clicking a codename will show all the members that have earned it. If there’s one you want you could try asking a member who has it already how they got it…but maybe they like being the only one with that particular codename! If you’ve got it then flaunt it, which leads onto…
||SELECTING A CODENAME||
When you earn a new codename it will automatically be displayed on your profile as well as in your postbit. You are able to hide your codenames and change their display order.
You can do this from the My Codenames page.
Untick the codenames you want hidden and type the display order of each codename to rearrange them. Make sure to click “Update Codenames” to save your changes.
The codename at the top of your list of visible codenames will be the one that is displayed in your postbit.
An easy way to select your displayed codename is to change its Display Order to “0”.
Should you wish to display no codename, simply disable all of them from the My Codenames page.
Those are the basics of codenames. Like this post to receive your reward for taking the time to read this guide!
