Title: What's in a name? (Useless forum post)
Post by: Thomas_Not_very_wise on December 24, 2009, 04:47:18 AM
Okay, we've lots of Usernames on IRC, and on the forums.

What inspired you to use them?

I am Thomas_not_very_wise because I often act before thinking and speak when I ought to stfu.

TheMacPanther was chosen to represent our struggle.

Damn Microsoft always keepin' the Mac man down.

(For anyone who doesn't get that one, it is a allusion to the Black Panthers)

UnholyWon was given to me by SevereMeltdown.

He made me the account and told me to start playing. Been playing ever since.

Original username was Stardog. Made it when I was making a Starcraft account. You know, STARcraft, and I like DOGS. Then someone named it in Deutsch and it caught on well with me.

When I played AD&D with my cousins, my first character was Terry the Spellcaster.
 
When I started doing stuff on the internet, I started using Spellcaster. Then just shortened it.

Ranek was my first char on the server... Which I don't remember where I got from, I think from a video game character. It was not so long ago.

I was obsessed with the movie 'Blade' when I was about 12, and started getting into drow at the same time. Velve is blade in the drow language, so it stuck. Too lazy to think up a better name.

This was the name of my priests Mace before I switched it up to Valnyr in WoW.

Naga comes from back when I only played as random in rated games on warcraft 3 in the old times when you got Naga icons next to your name. It was original "TheNaga" because you'd get a different naga depending on how many games you won. I just never shortened it.

I was listening silently to an In Flames song when I was thinking to change my account, since I'd grown tired of 'Kinsbane'.

It also suits my IRL personality flawlessly. Sadly, I'm much more talkative in text.
