Give the origin of your nick (even if it's obvious)

I've been reading your name wrong this whole time, for some reason I never noticed that "r" in your name. :laugh4:

When this thread was created:

Ghost908- I used the nick ghost in a lot of old FPS i used to play and added 908 as my birthday

Then...

Ice- Shortened Version of my aol screen name which I've been using for many years

Then...

Kush- Named after a particular item which originated in India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and/or Iran.

Then...

Back to Ice :clown:

did you ever play Ravenshield?

if you did, did you ever play a map called UWA_REMF, cos i made it?

"Lemur" has been my nom de guerre for a long, long time. When I worked in an office, the people who I managed even bought me a stuffed lemur toy for my desk. (It quickly made its way into my little lemur's crib.)

I also maintain a secondary identity as "Jethro Q. Lungfish," another animal-themed name which is just silly enough to make people think twice but not quite so absurd that they challenge me. I have signed many, many forms that I didn't want to fill out under Mr. Lungfish's name. I've even published under it.

But if you asked anyone in my family where the lemur was, they'd know who you meant.

Been a while, made a few short trip to Raven Shield but kept getting back at Rogue Spear, better paced, better maps.

My mother calls me Andres.


In a previous life, when I still played FPS's online, I roamed the interwebz under the name "The Perforator", which is also the Dutch word for an office tool.

I found someone with this name, killed them, took their identity.

Then I found another one, so I killed him, took his name as my password.

Pretty obvious for all RTW players... Anything cooler than Horse Archers from the steppes? No? I didn't think so...

When I was younger I started writing a book and the main character was named "Zain Anduin"

I liked the character as he was modeled after a favorite video game character of mine named "Squall Leonheart"

So I chose Zain :smile:

I was originally trying to register the name of "Subotei" as a charcter on a WoW server. Since I had forgotten how it was spelt, out came "Subotan", which I'm actually happier with, since it's more unique.

Hehe. Hehe. He. He. :beam:

Originally Rythmic, misspelt for annoyance, chosen as I played bass. Hence kept the rhythm.

Now Psychonaut, because I like it. :balloon2:

uberlol for office humor, truly hilarious nick

Caledonian Rhyfelwyr came from a unit of a very similar name in Europa Barbarorum. It has since changed to Balrooae (sp?), and it's the skirmisher unit you get in Scotland. Since then I renamed to just Rhyfelwyr since that's a neater size for a username, although this has had the unfortunate side-effect of leading to accusations of Welshness, propagated mainly by a certain member of the EB Tavern. :tongue2:

Back in LAN party days, we would play deathmatch with Deltaforce etc.

I would sneak off into the distance with a sniper rifle, and kill my friends...

you know how it is... you are stealthily creeping towards your objective, every thing is good in the world, you are at the top of your game, you are about to acheive your objective...

SPLAT
"You were killed by ROB! (Headshot!)"

and my friends would look over at me and say

"Rob! you bastard!"

:laugh4:

well, I have no nickname-my username is my given name. its arabic for Abraham (so you can call me Abe):clown:

I'm the 2000's kid, and "wut yew see iez wut yew git" *slaps himself for lampooning 90's kid*

But has it been consistent? This thread was made long before I joined and stayed dormant till the present.

let me clear it up:

"Hooah" is more of an army thing, specifically Army Rangers. Martok is thinking of "Oorah", which is the more Marine thing.

Not that there is no mixing and matching, but it's more "Hooah"-Army "Oorah"-Marines

easy to confuse audibly though.

Are you serious?

I am........

I'm thinking about changing mine after I host my game. Any suggestions?

I always liked girls, so I picked Vuk.

Not to nitpick, but you know this from your time in the army, yes?
