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

[Divinus Arma]

I joined for my love of TW, and at the time RTW was it. So I wanted something Latin and military.

And well, Divinus Arma is pretty easily translated:

Arms of the Divine.

[Soulforged]

BG is cool, though the last album is not so cool, as previous.

What are you kidding me man!!!
With that last album i made my home shake and i threw it down to rocks, and then the voice of Hansi opened the skies and God told me to shut down the music because i was molesting the angels... . Especially "And Then There Was Silence" was brilliant, one of the best songs ever, i would recomend that everybody hear that song, it's about the Iliad and is brillianty written, tough some "soft guys" will not like the powerful voice of Hansi.

[Strike For The South]

The south will rise again

[Sjakihata]

when you say south, you mean Antarctica?

[KukriKhan]

Started life here at the Org as "Taiko", after the Japenese drum-players


but abandoned it because it was similar to a few other names here then, and folks got confused.

When Mongol Invasion demo was released, many usernames here had to do with swords, blades, etc; so I picked an unusual weapon (the kukri) and added Khan to make it more relate to the game.

[Mongoose]

My love, my life, my dog.

i always thought that my dog looked like a giant mongoose and acted like a pig*. I nicknamed it piggy, but i decided that "Mongoose" would be a better username.


*By "Acted like a pig" I mean rolled around in the mud, snorted loudly and ate large amounts of dog feces

*edit*

[Uesugi Kenshin]

Well Uesugi Kenshin (1530-1578 iirc) was a great warlord in Sengoku Jidai era Japan and I'm horrible at pciking names so I just picked that one as it had a TW theme and Kenshin is my favorite warlord of the time period.

[JAG]

I don't know if anybody has done it before but here i put mine:
Soulforged is a song for the german epic power metal band "Blind Guardian", wich tells the story of Raistlin of the Dragonlance series.

And it is a brilliant, brilliant, brilliant song off one of the best albums ever made.

My nick is my initials. How boring.

And Uesugi Kenshin: Why not Kenshin Himura? (Kenshin alone is a great name "Heart of Sword")

[Reverend Joe]

After seeing everyone else's nicknames, I am embarrased to cite mine.

[AntiochusIII]

And Uesugi Kenshin: Why not Kenshin Himura? (Kenshin alone is a great name "Heart of Sword")

I thought they are two different persons...

No offence to Uesugi Kenshin but, Kenshin Himura is waaaaay cooler! (Please forgive the obvious bias of a Rurouni Kenshin fan...) :-x

Anyway, I guess I was looking for a R:TW style nickname. So a Seleucid monarch has to do!

[Samurai Waki]

After seeing everyone else's nicknames, I am embarrased to cite mine.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force... number one in the hood G.

[AntiochusIII]

Aqua Teen Hunger Force... number one in the hood G.

I have a feeling you are a regular watcher of Adult Swim, are you not? :-l

(watching the clock and waiting anxiously for 11.00 p.m. himself to turn the channel to Cartoon Network...)

Anyway, Frylock is cooler than Meatwad. :) That thing can blow things up with his eyes

[Samurai Waki]

yeah. about an hour and 5 minutes until its on (grrr... Atlantic Time).

Although I like Master Shake better than both... he's just such a maniacal *******

[Soulforged]

I thought they are two different persons...

Oh they are...Himura Kenshin is just a legend. The OAV Tsuioku Hen in 4 parts is just amazing, it's not like the series with all that DB like fighting, it's way more realistic and dramatic, and best drew and animated too.

[Kagemusha]

Kagemusha was a "shadow general" a doppelganger of Sengoku Jidai Warlord.They were used to decept enemy and sometimes even own troops.

[Byzantine Prince]

Oh they are...Himura Kenshin is just a legend. The OAV Tsuioku Hen in 4 parts is just amazing, it's not like the series with all that DB like fighting, it's way more realistic and dramatic, and best drew and animated too.

Omg I love that OAV too! I watched it when I was 15, it's the best anime ever made. So detailed and powerful!

[TosaInu]

I needed a nick to register on Westwood to play Red Alert. I was pretty late and about any name was taken. I finally picked TosaInu to avoid a large amount of random numbers in my nick. A tosainu is a large dogbreed from Japan and I used that name ever since.

I often run around as Mr.Nubluck in some FPS now, because.. well.

[Mount Suribachi]

Mount Suribachi is the name of the summit on Iwo Jima where the US Marines raised that flag. I always thought it was the coolest name. Plus, when I joined, it was pre-MTW and everyone had Japanese sounding names and this was the nearest I got to that

[edyzmedieval]

My name + my favourite time of history.

Simple as that.

[ichi]

ichi is one of the great characters in Samurai Cinema, short for Zatoichi Zatoichi, a blind yakuza masseur who slices and dices.



ichi also means one in Japanese, and ichi the killer is an odd, horribly violent film

ichi

[Uesugi Kenshin]

All those commenting on my nick: I have never heard of Kenshin Himura before now, never saw that OAV, and I just needed a nick at the time... Interesting to learn the meaning of Kenshin.

[Bartix]

IS it obvious, maybe?

I find it in thread about EB and Bartix faction before I register.

[Jimmytwohand]

Well i presently work at a particularly tedious security job. To pass the time i try to devise little ways to entertain myself like "visitor bingo". In this you have to select various phrases people may say to you during the course of the day and make a bingo card of them. When they are said you tick it off. You also choose several evil/unlikely things for your colleague who you play against. The first to get all their phrases wins....but i digress.

My nickname came about because before the evolution of visitor bingo, madman top trumps and clothing cricket i underwent a phase of trying to become ambidextrous. I tried to learn to play darts in our mess room left handed, write left handed and do various pen tricks left handed. One night a few of the lads and i were working late and goodfellas was on the TV, we saw the bit about "johnnytwotimes" who says everything twice, "I gotta go get the papers, get the papers". Somebody suggested i would be a good JimmyTwoHand.....and there we go.

If any one else works a particularly tedious job, full rules for all of the above games can be provided.

[King Ragnar]

King Ragnar was one of my greatest king in my old VI Campaign, so i just used that.

[Ludens]

My nick is derived from "Homo Ludens", which means "playing man" in Latin. I am bad at making up names, so when I had to think of an interesting nick for the umpteenth time I just tried to translate player in Latin. Since my Latin is not good, I ended up with Ludens: playing. And since it pretty much summed up what I was doing at the time, so I stuck with it.

[Ja'chyra]

A monster from Terry Brooks books fought by Garet Jax and Allanon, I added the apostrophe.

I also use Aeil on other forums, which is from the Wheel of Time books but I think he spells it Aiel, thought I'd at least try and be different.

I did used to use Raptor after I was dubbedit in my last job for reasons we don't need to go into, but everyone and his dog uses that one.

[Adrian II]

Adrian II was a transitional pope who devoted most of his time in office to the promotion of a hopeless case: literacy.

[Sigurd]

Daughter of the Empire Series of books.

Is that the Raymond E. Feist and Janny Wurst co-authored books? Great story BTW…
My nick comes from one of the greater medieval heroes: Sigurd the Dragon slayer. The dragon is Fafne and Sigurd gave it the mortal wound, hence Sigurd the bane of Fafne (Fafnesbane/Fafnirsbane).
