My first .org name was Decius Curtius, but I forgot teh password and created Caius Flaminius.
Changed to Garcilaso de la Vega el Inca, and got it to Caius for people like Andres who is lazy.

(Count) Hasimir Fenring is a character from Dune. I always thought he was a great character despite that he didn't have an overwhelming role in the plot. He was basicly an agent of the emperor, not in the least place a talented assassin. Despite the fact that he was a loyal friend to the emperor, he eventually refused to carry out an order to kill somebody (either because of affection, honor or both- it isn't made very clear) wich cost the emperor dearly.
The prequels written by KJA Anderson and Brian Herbert put him more in the spotlight, but made him look like a two dimensional sociopath
Re: Username?
Hmm... Started as greaterkhaan, which purely came from my obsession with the Mongols at the time(still do, btw). The extra 'a' was thrown in because of a documentary I saw on the History Channel in which the host visited Ulaan Bataar, and revealed that Mongolians, when using the Roman alphabet, spell it 'khaan', rather than 'khan'.
After 1,000 posts, I changed it to kamikhaan, which referenced to the Japanese word "kami", meaning divine(eh, roughly), and I also thought it was ironic because of the fact that "kamikaze" originally came about because of the Mongol invasion.
After 2,000 posts, I changed it to my current name, which means "hell conqueror(eh, roughly(once again)). Thought it looked cool when I was trying to pick out a new alternative username.
It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

Four stage strategy from Yes, Minister:
Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.

Re: Username?
I first stumbled across The Org, after reading the whole 'Masters of Rome' series by Colleen McCollugh. I assumed that all the well known characters that I liked would already be taken (Sulla, Agrippa, Caesar, Clodius, Octavian) and so went with my favourite minor character, Gaius Scribonius Curio the younger. I also like the description of his character and the way he comes across in the book 'Caesar'.
If anybody's interested he was a friend of Mark Antony and Clodius, who became a Tribune of the Plebs, and prevented the Senate from stripping Caesar of his command, in an attempt to stop the Civil War. In the end he failed and joined Caesar. Dispatched to conquer Sicily and Africa, he succeeded at the first, and was initially successful in the second. He was lured into an ambush and was killed.

Re: Username?
The summer between my junior and senior years of High School (1994 I think) I took classes at Cornell Univ. A bunch of my friends were exploring the wonders of the internet by signing up for free AOL accounts. Back then they expired after 10 or 15 hours of use, so we had to keep creating new accounts on a regular basis. The names got silly after a while. Two of the ones I came up with stuck with me after I left. The first was "Calsted" which was the result of slamming my left hand onto the keyboard and then adding an L. I used that handle for RPGs and chatrooms for several years.
The other was "Plastic Cow." That was because someone had told me that the Biology Department at Cornell had removed part of the skin and ribcage of a live cow and replaced it with a plexiglass sheet so that students could watch the animal's digestion process. I have no idea whether it was true or not, but that's where I got the idea. Plastic Cow was my shooter/action handle for a while, but my freshman year of college I was playing some game that I can no longer remember and Plastic Cow was too long for the name field. I had a friend who played Quake as Tinman, so tin sprang to mind and thus: TinCow. I dropped Calsted completely several years ago, and have been exclusively TinCow ever since. Probably will be forever.

Re: Username?
My namesake is the main character in the novel serial by French writer Pierre Naudin.
The novels depicts France in the Hundred Years' War period without chauvinism, clearly taking into account the failings of the French nobility...
When finding the Org, the name Tristan sprang to mind but someone had beaten me to it so I added the full name...
Being a French member (and one of the few, it seems...) I wanted to use a French sounding name...

Re: Username?
Any one wanna hear my story?... No? Well too bad...
One day, young Japanese kid went into some net cafe to kick some ass in counter strike. I booted up CS and for some strange reason my name was Beefy.
So I went righto and used that name.
187 comes from BF2. I tried using the name beefy but unfortunately some fellow already took my name so I used the auto search name and it gave me beefy187.
Done
Re: Username?
My story is similar to Gaius Scribonius Curio. Except that Quintus Julius Cicero is completely fictional. Anyone knows how Lady Frog got her name? FBE is rather perculiar...
Re: Username?
and now i have no reason for the name cuz playbattlefield jus went offline after me playing it for about 8 years.........
