Naming convention.
Simple, Where did you get your blog name? and why did you choose it?
General Winter is a name i've used for a while; I tend to be cool under pressure in-game. The name itself was the russian nickname for the 1942-43 winter that halted Operation Barbarossa.

Re: Naming convention.
I'd just finished reading Colleen M'cullough's First Man in Rome series when I first started playing MTW online so I picked Cornelius Lucius after Sulla's name. Shame I got it the wrong way round.
Should have been Lucius Cornelius. DOH!
Re: Naming convention.
I used to be Lord Alameda because I lived in Alameda, California. This past summer I moved my wife and two boys back to the place I was born (but never lived past age 6 mo.) to Great Falls, Montana. Since Lord Great Falls doesn't really work, I took the nickname we've always used for Great Falls, Gruffles.

Re: Naming convention.
Thanks! I was considering changing my name next time the option turned up - something slightly more humorous to tie in with my most recent TW game (M:TW VI), but I don't think that's necessary now.Nice name, and very funny

Re: Naming convention.
well...
I usually just use Drake simply because i like latin and Draconius is latin for a standard bearer, who carried a dragon standard, of the late Roman empire (classical one) and i anglicized it. I choses tiberius because i believe that he is probably the most underaprreciated of the Julio-Claudian emperors (first five emperors). also it is a common ancient latin name.
"Something can be done, by careful analysis, to sort out truth from propaganda and legend. But this is where the real difficulties begin, since each student inevitably selects, constitutes criteria, according to his own unconscious assumptions, social, ethical or political. Moral conditioning, in the widest sense, plays a far greater part in the matter than most people- especially the historians themselves-ever realize."

Re: Naming convention.
Ive used germanpeon since I started playing Warcraft 3 on battlenet, and I chose that name for some random reason. It doesnt really apply to anything else (for lack of Wc3 peons), but I use it anyway.
