Hello Teamliquid!

I have used my name WarChimp for awhile now, probably a good 5 years at least. I have used it in StarCraft BW, StarCraft 2, World of WarCraft (Yes I played that) and basically any other online game Basically my name started when my friend decided to use to name warox, I thought that was kind of cool so I improved it to WarChimp.

Anyway, it doesn't really matter how it came to be, but at this present time, I need your help to help win an argument. The argument is that, is WarChimp is a good avatar name? My friend however, she believes that WarChimp is a lame avatar name.

So my Teamliquid friends, I need to know, is WarChimp a lame name?

My friends name was warox. In that name I saw WarOx, I thought that I could improved that and thought that a Chimp of War was kind of cool, so I got WarChimp.

Yeah its pretty lame.

WarMonkey. Does that sound good? Anything with war in it. Anything with a animal in it...

Its hard to think of a good one. So steal a name from somewhere. Pick a character from an obscure fantasy novel with a cool name.

Unfortunately you didn't really outline the reasons why you think your online name isn't lame. You only gave a brief history of its origins, and hence I am not surprised that you are having this argument with your friend in the first place.

edit: the WarBonobo suggestion two posts above me is pretty good too.

But yeah it's lame.

Monkeys are very silly animals. Therefore WarChimp is a silly name.

Yeah it's pretty lame. But losing to someone whose name was "WarChimp" would make me rage at least 2 or 3x as hard as a normal loss. So maybe it's good for something.

Monkeys (and especially chimps) are frigging awesome. So it's decent.

WarChimp sounds super stupid, change it to something that actually sounds like something you could use as a alias

lol im sorry but it is pretty lame. Your girl would probably like something low key and not so obnoxious. Something simple and classy.

But I like WarChimp

Would hate losing to you though
