Is the nickname with apostrophe inside the registration system from EF? Also, can you give me your nickname (how you expect to be)

Thanks, my nickname is o'wolf, and I registered exactly like that for the convention.  22.08.2025 16:58:30 Rusty Braze ***@***.***>:

Same for room names like Dealers' Den

I need to run some tests but I should be able to fix this. However, if the account is already created, the nickname cannot be changed... Only next EF.

For the critter types / room names, I will fix this now

The fix for the nickname cannot be fixed this year.
I'm pushing the ticket for the next EF version
