    Post The Name Change Thread

    Gah!, people and their annoying need to change their user names and confuse everyone. Wait, what happened to my username??? Oops, I guess I changed mine too.

    I've been meaning to do this for a while. Anyways, my old username was woad&fangs, but now I am Waldinger.

    So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road,
    but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely
    chicken's dominion maintained. ~Machiavelli

    It would help if you edited your Custom User Title to provide name change information. Go to User CP, click Edit Profile, and there it is.

    I changed my name from ZainDustin to Zain a long time ago. I wonder if anyone remembers that.

    Where did you get your name Omanes? It's very... eh... long winded.

    He got it by randomly choosing two names in the EB Greek list. He got Omanes Alexandropolites, and that was that. At least, that's how I remember him saying it.

    It was worse before: "Omanes Alexandropolites the Idiot" I recall. And I think he changed it after a member insulted his intelligence and helpfulness.

    Not quite Warmaster - a certain member asked me to remove it's ending. This request was related to another member's insults, but I wasn't really affected by them myself - I have the odd habit of chuckling at personal insults when they are flung in my direction.

    I got my name, Lucius Julius, from a Roman General of the Julii faction in Rome: Total War. You know, the guy who becomes Emperor after Flavius Julius dies. He went on to become one of my best generals, and conquered Illyria, Dalmatia, Noricum, and all of Gallia (Gaul). Thats my story. :)

    Live long and prosper.
    -Lucius Julius

    Same here, while I take my faction leader (Flavius Julius, I think the name is) to conquer Northern Italy, Gaul, and begin attacking Spain.

    I'm not quite sure, but I don't think the surname "Alexandrapolites" is in the more recent (0.8x and 1.x) database. The name came from 0.74, which I played for about a fortnight prior to the release of 0.8. I'm not quite sure if Omanes still exists either, but I think I have seen that name occur in the more recent releases.
