I joined for my love of TW, and at the time RTW was it. So I wanted something Latin and military.
And well, Divinus Arma is pretty easily translated:
Arms of the Divine.
:duel: :wings:

Started life here at the Org as "Taiko", after the Japenese drum-players

but abandoned it because it was similar to a few other names here then, and folks got confused.
When Mongol Invasion demo was released, many usernames here had to do with swords, blades, etc; so I picked an unusual weapon (the kukri) and added Khan to make it more relate to the game.

Well Uesugi Kenshin (1530-1578 iirc) was a great warlord in Sengoku Jidai era Japan and I'm horrible at pciking names so I just picked that one as it had a TW theme and Kenshin is my favorite warlord of the time period.
And it is a brilliant, brilliant, brilliant song off one of the best albums ever made.Quote:

After seeing everyone else's nicknames, I am embarrased to cite mine.
:disappointed:
I thought they are two different persons...Quote:

Anyway, I guess I was looking for a R:TW style nickname. So a Seleucid monarch has to do!
Aqua Teen Hunger Force... number one in the hood G.Quote:

Anyway, Frylock is cooler than Meatwad. :) That thing can blow things up with his eyes :devil:
yeah. about an hour and 5 minutes until its on (grrr... Atlantic Time).
Although I like Master Shake better than both... he's just such a maniacal *******
Oh they are...Himura Kenshin is just a legend. The OAV Tsuioku Hen in 4 parts is just amazing, it's not like the series with all that DB like fighting, it's way more realistic and dramatic, and best drew and animated too.Quote:

Omg I love that OAV too! I watched it when I was 15, it's the best anime ever made. So detailed and powerful!Quote:

I often run around as Mr.Nubluck in some FPS now, because.. well.
Mount Suribachi is the name of the summit on Iwo Jima where the US Marines raised that flag. I always thought it was the coolest name. Plus, when I joined, it was pre-MTW and everyone had Japanese sounding names and this was the nearest I got to that
My name + my favourite time of history.
Simple as that.
ichi is one of the great characters in Samurai Cinema, short for Zatoichi Zatoichi, a blind yakuza masseur who slices and dices.

ichi also means one in Japanese, and ichi the killer is an odd, horribly violent film
ichi :bow:
All those commenting on my nick: I have never heard of Kenshin Himura before now, never saw that OAV, and I just needed a nick at the time... Interesting to learn the meaning of Kenshin.
IS it obvious, maybe? ~D
I find it in thread about EB and Bartix faction before I register. :bow:
Well i presently work at a particularly tedious security job. To pass the time i try to devise little ways to entertain myself like "visitor bingo". In this you have to select various phrases people may say to you during the course of the day and make a bingo card of them. When they are said you tick it off. You also choose several evil/unlikely things for your colleague who you play against. The first to get all their phrases wins....but i digress.
My nickname came about because before the evolution of visitor bingo, madman top trumps and clothing cricket i underwent a phase of trying to become ambidextrous. I tried to learn to play darts in our mess room left handed, write left handed and do various pen tricks left handed. One night a few of the lads and i were working late and goodfellas was on the TV, we saw the bit about "johnnytwotimes" who says everything twice, "I gotta go get the papers, get the papers". Somebody suggested i would be a good JimmyTwoHand.....and there we go.
If any one else works a particularly tedious job, full rules for all of the above games can be provided. ~D ~:handball:
King Ragnar was one of my greatest king in my old VI Campaign, so i just used that.
My nick is derived from "Homo Ludens", which means "playing man" in Latin. I am bad at making up names, so when I had to think of an interesting nick for the umpteenth time I just tried to translate player in Latin. Since my Latin is not good, I ended up with Ludens: playing. And since it pretty much summed up what I was doing at the time, so I stuck with it.
A monster from Terry Brooks books fought by Garet Jax and Allanon, I added the apostrophe.
I also use Aeil on other forums, which is from the Wheel of Time books but I think he spells it Aiel, thought I'd at least try and be different.
I did used to use Raptor after I was dubbedit in my last job for reasons we don't need to go into, but everyone and his dog uses that one.
Adrian II was a transitional pope who devoted most of his time in office to the promotion of a hopeless case: literacy.
Is that the Raymond E. Feist and Janny Wurst co-authored books? Great story BTW…Quote:
