View Full Version : What made you choose your sig?
What made you choose your signature? If you don't have one then why don't you? Perhaps you can't choose?
I chose my after playing CoD. There I've seen this great quotation and just had to use it as a sig?

NIN song called Closer.
I believe it`s a quote from a russian rocket-scientist, who is taliking about the fate of humanity; if it`s gonna survive it has to leave the cradle sooner or later(I prefer sooner). And since I am into astronomy, I liked it very much.
As a side note I grabbed it from ESAs latest space vision, Aurora.
The pic in my sig is from a great BI mod, btw.

It sounds like something hardcore to say before I pop a cap in someone.

My sig was influenced by my main character, by having a conversation with one of my fellow writers with the word Asinis which means ass and Asinius and the close relationship between them and with me getting kick out of the group a month ago.

I like Japanese swords and interiors, and thus I liked this animated .gif. I also liked the way the .gif coordinates with my avatar picture. It's also one of the only animated .gifs I have that's small enough (in KB) to use here.
Listing my "official" S:TW and M:TW foyer names--with clan prefixes--is essentially a *bow* to my fellow clannies.
I change my text at the bottom every once in a while. The current text is a haiku that I wrote.

After playing Operation Flashpoint a lot, and dying a lot I was introduced to a bunch of quotes, my sig is my favorite of the bunch and I used it to replace an old and very obscure movie quote.

I'd quite like to be a character from a Bruce Springsteen song.
I probably need to buy a '69 Chevy first, though.

My sig shows what music I'm currently listening on my computer, so you all can point and laugh at my music taste ~;).

It's kind of a slogan Akercocke, the English death metal band, uses. Not everyone gets it.

My own graphical pieces ~:)
Blue Lotus deserves a bigger sig, but there is a 10k-total limit with sigs.. ~:(
The Thomas Jefferson one is because people have a tendency to believe what is written in the news without question.
The Teddy Roosevelt is to show that its apporiate to question political leaders when thier actions do not serve the nation's best interests - in you opinion.

You have heard the Zorba thing, so...
The quote at the bottom is from the end of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (the book). I find it to be appropriate for many circumstances (especially when people mock real life. I know it usually isn't serious- neither am I. :mad:)

And I can't really think of anything better to have as my sig.

you know what? i think i'm gonna slap on another thing to my sig. how does this sound: hope is the first step on the road to dissapointment, it coresponds quite well with somebody else's.
It was the response of my best friends character in an ADnD 2nd edition game I mastered, after his 4th level cavalier charged a Firbolg (half giant) and got whacked of his horse, and consequently fled the scene. (That was about 6 years ago.)
Since then I learned that the satement is also on a "famous last words" list on some rpg forum.

Not an actual place, just a hypothetical area including Normandy, Brittany and L'ile de France ~:cheers:

I made up mine and use it as my sig because it rhymes quite nicely although it is not accurate anymore. I only play about once a week now.~:)

I saw the first bit on another forum and thought it was funny, so I put it in my sig.
The second bit advertises my Roma Victor guild.

Power to Random Vin Diesel Facts!
I forget mine..
I think one's a Price of Peace mod (for Enemy Territory) button - click it! It's good mod.
Then there's the quote from Histeria, the show inspiring my nick.
And usually something else...
Nothing right now though.

The random Vin Diesel jokes get pwnd hard by random Chuck Norris jokes... 'cause, well -- Chuck Norris > Vin Diesel hard, frankly.
And Chris... all I can say is "sig material"! ~D
My sig... because Stoicism is my kind of philosophy. And Marcus Aurelius was the Principate's best, most sincere princeps. 'Nuff respect due \o

Miyamoto Musashi, the master swordsman. Perhaps the master swordsman of the history, fighting - bit oddly - always with two swords. He wrote a master piece on swordsmanship, The Book of Five Rings, which is, much like Sun Tzu’s work, easy to interpret even in our time and age and almost any line of work; it was not a technical book on how to wield sword, but a philosophical ponderings on the spiritual stance of the warrior.
Today you triumph over yourself of the yesterday; you have improved your skills, you have become better. Thus winning over your old, former self, becoming better, stronger, faster, you will ensure your victory over life in general and any foe in particular.
Words of wisdom to live by. :bow:
