When I stared playing BW (around 2001) my friends turned me on to 3v3 BGH. I needed an account(htye didn't want me losing under thier's), so I tried to think of something different. I thought it was just funny & ironic, especially in the context of your average 3v3 BGH SCNs. At the time it seemed extremely meaningful, like a statement about who I was, but now I don't use it anymore. I play under gentleman or robingoodfellow. The one name my twin used that I want to steal but is too long to use: death2nazis420lovejoy

foo, as in fubar, not the programming "language" that people always think i am referring to.. but fubar as in "fucked up beyond all repair" f u b a r.

As my dad has always said, you blame things on foo, the guy who you can never find, but it is always his fault.
" *car doesn't start* WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CAR?!?!?! its foo... *shakes fist* damn that foo..." so when i started playing games and was pretty noob everyone is all blaming me for their team losing... thus foo...

Which brings me to my sig, foo is the guy over the fence, who you can only see the eyes and hands poking above the fence...

I think the whole thing originated in WW2 or something (quick wiki search confirms this), and my pop brought it back with him and dad got it off pop, i got it off dad...

peace

Well I've always had a hard time coming up with a cool sounding ID.
One day I was playing WoW and I had a lot of energy for some reason, I was feeling hyper.
That same day I tranfered one of my characters and I had to rename him.
So after thinking for a few minutes I thought about a name that would reflect on me in some way, and since I was really hyper that day I just decided that it would be a name that had something to do with the word hyper.
But just the plain word wasn't enough, I wanted it to be really awesome so I wrote "Xyper". I felt really awesome about it. It was the first ID for a character I thought it myself and it was pretty cool imo and my friends thought was too.
But a few weeks after that I got in this ventrilo chat with some people from WoW and they kept pronouncing my ID in a weird way, they kept saying "Zyper" which I didn't like for some reason, because I wanted my ID to be pronounced with a ks sound in the begining I don't know why that's just how it feels when I see something start with X.
And after I quit WoW and I got into starcraft and other stuff I just changed the X to a Ks so that people would pronounce it correctly.
And there it is.

My last name is Webb, and I've always been comfortable with the prospect of anything that creeps and crawls. Original spelling is usually taken so I just default to this.

Mine is from EVE online. It's the name of a battleship of a notorious occult pirate faction called the blood raiders covenant. It sounds kinda cool so I thought why not.

Was when I started playing Achaea, a text mud (www.achaea.com - it's still going strong) probably like 10 years ago by now. Character creation screen basically said something like "pick a RP appropriate name for a medieval fantasy setting" since the game is all in character (though plenty of people talk about RL stuff in private clans and the like). Stared at it for awhile and eventually came up with Vortok. Been using it ever since. Was a Mage in that game as I like Mage characters in general (and hate most MP mechanics in general) so generally if a game uses multiple characters for multiple classes, Vortok is a Wizard/Mage and other names get used for other stuff.

Googled it later on and apparently there's a company with the name. When I logged in a few months back one of my old guild mates told me in private that when she was in the army there was a guy who's last name was Vortok and she had to keep from giggling every time someone told him to do something so the military generally refers to people by last name.

Second name I use (Shakanos) was when I played the open beta of another MUD made by the same company that made Achaea. The playerbase is fairly small so if I used Vortok people would recognize me and using the same name in a different game that are supposed to be an RP environment seemed kinda silly. So far that one has remained uniquely mine to my knowledge. Also used it in Runescape (not as horrible as people would lead you to believe, btw) since some asshole took Vortok before I got there. Probably used his RL last name, the jerk.

Other names I use I made up as I needed them, mostly making multiple characters on WoW and needing a few female names so that my character selection list was balanced instead of a meatfest. Thus I have Shial followed by Krisel (or Krissel on DDO, since it wouldn't let me use Krisel or Shial on the server I played) and Vilra.

Befree I made back in like 1999 or 2000 when I was 10 and played starcraft on my dads laptop on the weekends. When I was asked for a username, I just kind of looked around his desk and saw a book which had "be free" somewhere in its title. I don't remember my exact train of thought, but I guess I thought that sounded cool. I've always liked how it looks and how it seems positive, so I kept using it : ).

My ID came from my last name. I'm in the military so people call me by my last name, Cunningham. Someone felt it was too long, so they started calling me C-ham. I typed it in as a screenname somewhere else without spaces and it read out Cham and I just rolled with it from there.

Well, I came up with this one over 5 years ago. I used to go by the nick BlackCenturion, simply because I've always had a fascination with the Roman Empire and 'Black' was simply a cool prefix. I decided I needed a new name, plus one that was shorter so I could use it in more games. The whole 'dark and cool emo mysterious lol myspace xD' phase for my prefixes was still ongoing, so I used 'Night'. For no reason other than I thought 'Rapier' was a badass word that went well with the former, I combined the two for great justice.

However, I have for some time wanted to change the nick, since I now feel a nick should have a very personal relevance and meaning, or at least be a hilarious reference. SexualTyrannosaurus is one I like, but too long. Tacticool (a word I love using IRL) and CREEEEED are others I am considering, but I believe it is a long search indeed before I decide anything.
