Username?

[pevergreen]

Back in the days of me being a little lad, I was playing Runescape.

I came accross this guy who was like a really high level (probably level 25)

He was mining (I love mining and smithing in games. I just do) and i made ingame friends with him. He paid me money to go smelt his ore. He paid me to go buy some blue clothes. Like 200 gp to walk for 30 seconds. I asked him why he couldnt do it.

"Because if i go out of here, my ex team mates will kill me in real life"

I stole his username. Heh. Mine now, search "pevergreen" in google and every single one is me. I cant get "pevergreen@hotmail.com" though.

So I am pevergreen everywhere.

My password for everything is another guy's username off Runescape, he gave me some fish. He was nice. He's been my password for many-a-year now.

[Mikeus Caesar]

Back in the days of me being a young lad, me and my father would play Age of Empires together. This was waaay back in '99. I subsequently made up this player name, which is just a twist on my real name, simple as. Then, when i found the .Org at the time of RTW's release, it only seemed appropriate to resurrect my old name.

[KukriKhan]

When I discovered the.Org in the old Shogun:totalwar days, it seemed that half the usernames related to weapons, so (wanting to get with the program) I picked a fairly obscure weapon (kukri) and added "khan" in honor of the then-only-rumored Mongol Invasion expansion pack.

Thus kukri+khan = KukriKhan. It stuck.

[Andres]

Back in the days of me being born, way back in 1978, some woman and her husband decided to call me Andres. It has sort of stuck now.

[cmacq]

For one with a non-English surname,
whom too much hears it misspoke,
then from the start as I often say,
The eyes have the way it is seen,
yet a tongue is the way it is said.

C macQ

Or maybe it should be C maKw???

[Lemur]

It's a family thing. If you asked my wife how the lemur was doing, she'd know who you meant.

[drone]

A friend of mine used to run LAN games on his company network on the weekends. He's an absolute assassin in most games, he plays all the time and just has an affinity for it, whereas at the time I didn't have any real experience in multiplayer games. So he invites me out to play Descent one weekend. I started out with another game name, but after an hour I switched over to drone, since that's all I was, a target. Been using it since.

[macsen rufus]

Mine dates back to my pre-TW life, when the most enjoyable game I'd found by then was Praetorians, and I was Macsen Rufus on those forums, and I was too lazy to think of a new one for the Org

Macsen derives from the Old Welsh story from the Mabinogion, "The Dream of Macsen Wledig", and is the Welsh form of Magnus Maximus, one-time Emperor/Usurper of the Western Empire. Rufus, well, it derives from the Latin, and is an oblique reference to William Rufus, heir to William the Bastard - as my old man was also born out of wedlock....

Being Welsh, Macsen abbreviates to Macs, not Mac, by the way

[Veho Nex]

jkarinen was my first intial and last name
CowTipp I recieved from an old gaming clan way back in the day
Veho Nex is latin for Rider of Death. He's the fourth rider of the apocalypse.

[Ferret]

Back in the days of me being born, way back in 1978, some woman and her husband decided to call me Andres. It has sort of stuck now.

yeah same here...

[Privateerkev]

yeah same here...

Your parents named you Elite Ferret!?!



I remember when you were Bob the Great and changed it because you got sick of everyone assuming your name was Bob.

As for me, Wing Commander Privateer is my favorite computer game of all time. I still play it. So, in a lot of things, my screen name is Privateer. But, Privateer tends to be taken so I decided to add something onto the end of it. After looking for inspiration through many hours of deep trancendental meditation, I decided to throw my name onto the end of it. Unless you couldn't decipher it from my screen-name, my name is Kevin. But no one calls me Kevin. Due to sheer laziness, everyone shortens it to one syllable and calls me Kev.

And that is my epic story.

[Ferret]

Your parents named you Elite Ferret!?!

well not exactly, it all started back in the year 1066, when William was busy invading England. My ancestors were a group of warrior ferrets under the command of Edward the Confessor, before he passed away. They decided to side with the Normans as they had more 'ferret friendly' policies than the Saxons or Danes.

Then after the war was won my ancestors were rewarded by having a prosperous town in Bedfordshire, South East England, named after their race and being given the title 'of ferrets'. Over the years that title simply merged into a surname such as Smith or Wright, and newborn ferrets were given Christian names as well. My parents were the ones who relinquished control of Ferret Town (as featured in the BC hotseat game - ask phonics or Ramses) in favour of settling down to a quiet life in a country manor. They named me 'Elite' in memory of the brave elite ferrets who performed a crucial role in conquering England from the weasels Saxons.

And that is where my name originates from
