Roark is the name of a character in a recurring dream I used to have. He was kind of a superhero guy...

I wanted to the name of Sanada Yukimura for Shogun online play back in Oct 2000, but it was already taken. I settled on Yuuki as a nickname for Yukimura after learning from Idaho that Yuki was a female name. About a month later I added Mizu (water) as a prefix when Clan Takiyama (waterfall mountain) was formed. Interestingly, Yuuki means courage in Japanese, but I didn't know that at the time. Sanada Yukimura was killed in 1615 leading 55,000 men against Tokugawa Ieyasu's 155,000 man army, which was sieging Osaka castle, in a desperate attempt to break the siege. A smaller flanking force which was supposed to take part advanced too late. This ended the last rebellion against Tokugawa rule which lasted for the next 250 years.

My posting name was always Puzz3D. I joined the org in June 2000 when STW was released not Oct 2000 as it says under my name. I chose Yuuki as a player nickname when I started playing STW online in Oct 2000 so that I would have a name that went better with the Japanese setting of the game. Once these two names became established I decided not to change them.

**Megas Methuselah** · 10-07-2009, 23:10

According to the bible/torah, Methuselah is the oldest man ever recorded to live. Although that normally wouldn't serve as an allure for a username, a distinct childhood memory of mine was having an old east-Indian (that is, an Indian from India) man give me a hand-reading and stating in his quiet and wise voice that I would live to be an old man.

So I chose Methuselah as my username. Later on, having made a bit of repuation as a spammer (and necromancer) in the EB Forums, a fellow called ||Lz3|| suggested I pick up the epithet Magnus, the great, much to the acclamation of the EB Tavern members. Aemilius Paulus later suggested Megas, the greek form of the latin Magnus, which sounded better to the ears. I chose that one and switched my username before the whole pevergreen incident which limited username-changing.
