    It's my first name backwards. It was originally a placeholder, meant to be used until I thought of a better one, but I never did.

    Well, my names Ian
    The ...of Smeg part came from an episode of Red Dwarf where Lister goes into an AR game about Medieval times and Calls himself Lister of Smeg
    and the 16 part, well 16 is my lucky number for various sporting reasons
    When I was a child
    I caught a fleeting glimpse
    Out of the corner of my eye.
    I turned to look but it was gone
    I cannot put my finger on it now
    The child is grown,
    The dream is gone.
    I have become comfortably numb...

    Hi name sounds cool to me and no one else would ever choose him as a name anywhere else - so I don't have to worry about changing it for different sites.

    Needed a nick quick for a Q3-match and happened to to look at a cover of a book about the Crusades. Changed the "c" to "k" and almost all my friends on the net know me as Krusader, so I've stuck with it.

    It's my name; looking back I should have made perhaps a little more effort...

    Instead of calling me Mr. Hammerschmidt, a bunch of my students took to calling me Lord Hammerschmidt. I thought it was catchy, so it stuck.

    When I first went online I thought to myself that my last name (Dreyer) wouldnt be common place on the web, how wrong I was. (In fact someone with my exact name had a website online the creepy thing was he lived only ten miles from my last home.)So i thought how can I think of a name that no one else has thought of, then it struck me three nonsensical words strung together into some kind of sense. And no one has thought of it.

    Probably for good reason.

    TK-421 is a stormtrooper designation from Star Wars. I've used it for various Star Wars games in the past and the name has stuck.

    My name comes from Sven Hassel novels. Little Legionaire was a ex French legionaire. His real name is Alfred Kalb and he was a German. When he returned to Germany he arrested by SS and sent out to Fagen then they sent him to penal battalion. He was a muslim and carrying long moorish blade to cut the throats of their enemies and he was shouting "Allahuakbar" when charged over on enemies. He was a really interesting figure. Quite, cruel in war, trustable, some nut and totaly dramatic...

    and me and Turkish style Yataghan (standart janissary close combat weapon) similar to Falcata design Turkish blade...
