While it may or may not be true, White_Ra is his name becauses he's CLEARLY the white version of Nal_Ra.

CauthonLuck is from the Wheel of Time books by Robert Jordan. Cauthon = Mat Cauthon = a character in the books that has unusually good luck! He becomes famous in the book and thus people call ominously good luck "CauthonLuck"

If so, CauthonLuck is a pretty clever and catchy name. I believe in an interview he said he's in the casino business as well so it's very suitable.

There was an interview at one point of how the name "IdrA" originated, though I believe he said it doesn't hold any significant meaning. Wish I could find the link...

IdrA is that a joke? Haha - if so or if not - awesome.

When I first saw DeMusliM's I was just as curious about his playstyle as his name.

At first I was like The Muslim? Alright!

Then I was like, wait... anti-muslim? That bastard!

And then I read that it was an ode to the boxxers he knew when he was little... (and now mainstream muslims are rappers) and it's chill.

As a muslim I don't see it as offensive in any way, it's a good tag.
Artosis: hes a piece of !@#$ then

I know Idra looked jewish.

As for DeMuslim you clearly can tell he ment it as "The Muslim", not "Not Muslim". I still don't see how people could be offended.

And Christian is actually a fairly common first name so that wouldn't be offensive.

Oh God, I was just trolling you guys when I said "Not Muslim" for DeMuSlim :D

DeChrist sounds bad ass as well ^_^
I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a

Idra is also italian for Hydra. Not sure if they are related.

Though it's kinda funny because if you played in Italian, zerg would have Idralisca ^^

Is DeMuslim a Muslim, because it would be pretty stupid if he wasnt. It would be like a asian person calling himself DeChristian
