    Quoting from the info on my User Page:

    Mouzafphaerre...what does it mean?

    It's the bastardization of Muzaffer; a Turkish given name of Arabic origin (مظفر from the root ظفر) meaning victorious, triumphant. It has often been confused with μουσαφίρης, Greek and Turkish (misâfir) word for guest, also of Arabic origin (مسافر from the root سفر). The coincidence is unintentional.
    It was born playing a very primitive Total War-like game for Windows, World Empire, years ago, in which you assume the role of a general with a cause ruling a country and fighting against others (human or computer controlled) for the domination of the modern world. Muzaffer Postal (the victorious military boot) was the name I had assumed and later came the bastardization, purely for personal amusement, during the days of Pharaoh.

    CountArach is from my general in the first army I ever owned for the tabletop wargame Warhammer. It has sort of just stuck now.
