So I want to eventually become a part of the TL community that people recognize.. and at the minute I think I do get recognized but for the wrong reasons. I think on the internet I come off as sort of a douchebag. I've noticed on reddit my comment karma total is actually -6. lol

I think I know some of the reasons behind it... but I'm just going to take one step at a time.
So my first step is to come up with a new name. The idea I made with my name was basically to "troll."
I remember back in the beta everyone complained about terran and I played terran so.. TERRANLOL it was. I think when people see it now though they either see me as a douchebag or a complainer based on just the name.

I still want to do a name that sticks out and is a little bit obnoxious.. but I don't want it to be something that hits at something that the people of the community might be concerned about. I also do want to do something creative... my goal for names is usually to do a name that nobody else actually has... but now that I actually regret my name it's all up for discussion.

My ideas for names right now are:



EDIT: So I'm going to take some advice and do something that's not as obnoxious.

Current ideas:
Virtue
Serendipity
Brahms
Socrates
Blitzcrank

I guess if they're not so obnoxious it doesn't matter which one I pick.

+ Show Spoiler [discarded ideas] +
YESfcknCookies
^^ Name I use for LoL and used to use for Unreal Tournament 2004.
I like it because it doesn't make sense in any other way than that it's obnoxious.
I can't use it thought because it's two characters too long.

MANTRAINBATMAN
^^ basically same thing as previous name, but also has batman in it. Doesn't have an expletive. Has batman in it. Also too many characters

MANTRAIN
^^ I like this name because it conveys power in an obnoxious way. I can also talk about it like a legend during game as a sort of... stupid pointless way to trashtalk.

Xisle
^^ Used to be my name for another game

Brahms
^^ I guess if I didn't want to do something obnoxious, it might be cool to do something classy... like something that shows I like classical music. I also like this name because of how well brahms' music actually goes with Starcraft. Has anyone tried setting up siege tanks listening to classical music?

So right now I'm leaning toward MANTRAIN.. do you guys think that's a good ID? Or should I keep thinking?

The first thing I think you should do is stop using the caps lock button.
Go with a name that isn't spelled in all caps

All caps never makes a good name, but sometimes good for a one-time chuckle. Although you seem to be leading toward the flashy look-at-my-nameLOL thing, so MANTRAIN is kinda funny lol. Actually "LOOKATMYNAME" doesn't seem too bad either.

Maybe Dvorak? Sounds like a legit username, and is also a classical composer.

I guess that's a good point. So I should stay away from the whole obnoxious thing and just go with something more name-like.

EDIT: Does mantrain still seem good if it's not in all caps?

Regardless of what you chose, here are some handy tips:
  • Using ALL CAPS or AlTeRNaTiNg CaPs makes you cool
  • Replacing as many letters as possible with numbers makes you super cool
  • Bonus points if you can BM someone with your name
  • Taking something and spelling it backwards is awesome and completely original (I recommend "racecar")

Hope that helps

I beg to differ, naming yourself after a character in one of the most popular RPGs ever, but adding a 'The' in front of it, to make it seem like you are the real deal and everyone else is a fake, is definitely way more original :D

Mantrain really doesn't convey power... unless you mean the power of gaysex.

I'll just leave an UD link definition for you to find out. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=mantrain

You can google more of it if that's the way you roll.

LOL
dude I've been using "mantrain" as a way to trashtalk for so long...
I've always thought it of like this.
Man - representation of our race, where will and strength are used to overcome obstacles. Someone who can support himself. The person a character becomes in movies right before shit goes down.
Train - Powerful, unstoppable force. Has one course and direction and won't stop for anything.
Man + Train = Mantrain
But now I know it's a man orgy. That hurts.

You should pick a name that fits you. Having a name to be "obnoxious" is silly in my opinion. Stand out through your posting and express yourself through your words. The last two names I think would both be fine, but what ever you choose, you really shouldn't capslock it, it really makes it look childish.

I don't know... mantrain is good but it could be better.

TheManTrain says that you are indeed THE one and only man train.
SixManTrain will definitely paint a picture in the viewers minds, and that picture will be very intimidating.
ManTrainLOL goes smoothly with your current LOL.
LOLiManTrain is just a compilation of wrong things. (LOLi)
TenManTrain is an upgrade from SixManTrain and it'll further intimidate the readers because people don't know the inside angle of a decagon off the top of their head.
MarauderTrain is a heavy type of man train. With concussive shots ringing off in all angles, it may be the most intimidating of all.

... see any that you like?

Yes.
There are many ways that show that it works, rekrul is proving point 4, point1 is TERRANLOL which I actually like;d Letters are L33T, we all know that, alright. even my C++ professor used 1.337 for an example. BM is already in the original name!
So, go ahead with L0LN4RR3T
