Needed a nick quick for a Q3-match and happened to to look at a cover of a book about the Crusades. Changed the "c" to "k" and almost all my friends on the net know me as Krusader, so I've stuck with it.
It's my name; looking back I should have made perhaps a little more effort...
It really does :yes:Quote:
His name sounds cool
Mine is kinda Tolkein & much better than arrrse was.
Instead of calling me Mr. Hammerschmidt, a bunch of my students took to calling me Lord Hammerschmidt. I thought it was catchy, so it stuck.
Well, my cousin had just made up his nick (wich is Trascio btw) and i didn't want to fall behind, so i just made something simillar to that:idea2: (well, sort of ... :rolleyes: )
Well Idomeneas was the king of Crete during Trojan war and since my father comes from Crete (mom from Olympia).....

And no one has thought of it.
Probably for good reason.
I just made mine up off the top of my head, like I do on every forum I go to...
I have like, a dozen online aliases
I have "created" my nickname a long time ago when playing Quake 1 multiplayer connected with a 33kbps to the internet was hot.
I needed a impresive name to intimidate other quake players ~;)
Personality.
Everything you say can and will be used against you....'nuff said. :bow:
TK-421 is a stormtrooper designation from Star Wars. I've used it for various Star Wars games in the past and the name has stuck.
vizigothe comes from the 1st game i really played online; Diablo 2, my favorite class was the barbarian and visigoth was taken so i changed and added a letter and it stuck
of course i also have a real nickname, no one calls me Aaron, everyone calls me A.J.
because of my intials and my grandpas favorite indy driver A.J. Foyt
mine is taken from the counting crows song of the same name. i only started using it wen i joined this forum, just as something out of the blue. now i use it for all my rtw related forums. in real life i have about 14 nicknames, but i can't be bothered to tell y'all wat they r.

My name comes from Sven Hassel novels. Little Legionaire was a ex French legionaire. His real name is Alfred Kalb and he was a German. When he returned to Germany he arrested by SS and sent out to Fagen then they sent him to penal battalion. He was a muslim and carrying long moorish blade to cut the throats of their enemies and he was shouting "Allahuakbar" when charged over on enemies. ~:handball: He was a really interesting figure. Quite, cruel in war, trustable, some nut and totaly dramatic...

Twenty years ago, when I started at High School, a mate and me created a crappy comic strip for the school newspaper. The main character was Dux Corvan, a late Roman military leader that attended classes and made innocent unintended puns about teaching, learning and human nature. We took Dux because he was a kind of general, and Corvan... well, because it sounded cool.
Many years after I took it as nick for every PC game I played -from X-Wing to Diablo and air sims- and now I use it for everything, including forums and online games. Thus, I avoid damaging my brain cells by inventing new cool names constantly.
the -us ending is to make it more Latin-ish, according to the spirit of the site.
no surprise here..Quote:

I just invented mine randomly, dont know why no incentive too just came
From the Dune novels by Frank Herbert.
It was my nickname for awhile, now I am known as phenom in real life, but I decided to keep Fabolous as my online alias.
Haha.........What? :dizzy2:Quote:

It basicaly started as an IRC nickname (for which I have no patience nowadays), then it stuck through all the games I went through, Warcraft2, Diablo, Diablo II, Starcraft, Starcraft: Brood War, Warcraft3 , WC3: Frozen Throne ("Im starting to see a pattern here..." ~D ) Counterstrike, and a huge number of other RTS's, FPS's and RPG's...Quote:

"Pse" is short for my real name. "Ramesses" stands for my passion of Ramesses the Great and ancient Egypt. I´ve been using this nick since CIVII came out so I´ve used it for some 11-12 years, if I remeber correctly.
What's probably being said when lined up in a shield wall with enemy approaching with malignious intend
Quite a few years ago, after having had numerous nicknames in games and on the web I decided to make one up to keep it a little organised; as I was reading unfinished tales (C. Tolkien) I played a little with the elvish vocabulaire at the back and came up with Ellesthyan. I don't really remember what it supposed to translate to other than something with stars. Though some people tend to think it's a female name (Ellen... shit like that) I'm keeping it just 'cause it's mine, and I'll be certain no one will have my nick already... :dizzy2: ~D
I think it means " a bend in the river" in Latin. It was in a book I read referring to the position of a roman fort and later the town around it took the name. Ive never actually looked it up so its possible its totally wrong. I took it 'cause it seemed obscure (but memorable). I hate having to try 50 different names to sign onto a site.
Nice one. Great set of books. A masterpiece of hard sci-fi with plausible fantasy influences.Quote:

I wanted a Carthaginian name when I started playing Age of Empires 1 on the MSN Gaming Zone. Hannibal, Hasdrubal, etc were all taken, but Adherbal wasn't (I had that name from a novel about hannibal and wasn't even sure he existed). Been using that nick ever since.
Carthaginian? Well, the name itself is Punic, but AFAIK, Adherbal was a Numidian king, son of Micipsa, whom succeded, and cousin of Jugurtha, who deprived him of the throne.Quote:

I was going to base my graduation thesis around them. But I gave that up. Too complex. This is my way of apologizing I guess. ~:) I could go on for a while about their culture but I'll refrain from that. As I'd be the only interested ~;)
Well, ACTUALLY, it's an error message from the MS-DOS days xP 'Not ready reading drive C: [Abort/Retry/Fail?]Quote:

I liked the Seven samurai and Dersu Uzala, but found Ran (Kurosawa's vision of Shakespeare's King Lear), to be too long and tedious.
I got my nickname in PE class, actually. It would make more sense if I showed you a pic of what I look like in real life. ~:)
there was also a Carthaginian admiral named Adherbal who defeated a roman fleet at Drepana.Quote:

And cF stands for "Carthaginian Forces", my old Age of Empires clan. We lasted for over 4 years, but then we started to get bored of Age of Mythology and I tried to move the clan to RTW. But there was hardly any interest in the game and the clan died completly soon after.
[cF]Hanbaal belonged to that clan, right?Quote:

yes, altho he joined after we moved to RTW. He's never been part of the AoE clan.Quote:

What a pitty that RTW MP was such a disappointment.
Dago is main character of my favourite book, "Ja, Dago" Zbigniew Nienacki.
In the Åsatru, Sfwartir/Sfwartr/Svartir/Surtr, is the name of the King of the Fire Giants (Eldjotun) of Muspellheimr. Konnings Sfwartr Muspellheims
heh, i never would have made the connection between sfwartir and surtr (that's how i've always seen it written).Quote:

well, i wanted to call myself propaganda in another forum. and as i was typing it i suddenly thought of this. great pun i think.
i'm not the first to think of it though, unfortunately. google proper gander, and you'll see what i mean....
