Gah!, people and their annoying need to change their user names and confuse everyone. Wait, what happened to my username??? Oops, I guess I changed mine too.

I've been meaning to do this for a while. Anyways, my old username was woad&fangs, but now I am Waldinger.

Hi K COSSACK,
Simply click here (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/profile.php?do=editpassword), enter your password, and change your username to something more preferable. Sadly, this feature is only open to Members and above, so Junior Members cannot access it until their promotion.
Hope this helps, good luck, cheers!

It would help if you edited your Custom User Title to provide name change information. Go to User CP, click Edit Profile, and there it is.

I changed my name from ZainDustin to Zain a long time ago. I wonder if anyone remembers that.

I see it everytime I enter the Arcade, actually.

He got it by randomly choosing two names in the EB Greek list. He got Omanes Alexandropolites, and that was that. At least, that's how I remember him saying it.

It's very... eh... long winded.
It was worse before: "Omanes Alexandropolites the Idiot" I recall. And I think he changed it after a member insulted his intelligence and helpfulness.

This request was related to another member's insults, but I wasn't really affected by them myself - I have the odd habit of chuckling at personal insults when they are flung in my direction.

I got my name, Lucius Julius, from a Roman General of the Julii faction in Rome: Total War. You know, the guy who becomes Emperor after Flavius Julius dies. He went on to become one of my best generals, and conquered Illyria, Dalmatia, Noricum, and all of Gallia (Gaul). Thats my story. :)

Live long and prosper.

Same here, while I take my faction leader (Flavius Julius, I think the name is) to conquer Northern Italy, Gaul, and begin attacking Spain.

Always the right thing to do. :)

Hi Pharnakes,

I am losser enough to know eb through pretty well:embarassed: , but I don't recall ever having encountered either word in eb, I have always wondered about that since I saw his reason for chossing his name.:inquisitive:I'm not quite sure, but I don't think the surname "Alexandrapolites" is in the more recent (0.8x and 1.x) database. The name came from 0.74, which I played for about a fortnight prior to the release of 0.8. I'm not quite sure if Omanes still exists either, but I think I have seen that name occur in the more recent releases.
