Well, I figured after near to seven years (don't let my join date fool you...it's a merge thing) as JediKnight_114, it was time for a change. So, here I am in my second incarnation. Just letting you know so the two people who know who I am don't go asking where JK_114 went. :p

Anyways, while I'm on the subject, may as well start a "why did you pick your name" thread. For me, The Seeker of Truth, or The Seeker is a pivotal and ancient occupation created in the Sword of Truth Series by Terry Goodkind. Awesome books. Awesome character. So I felt compelled. There you have it.

What's yours?

Got Tie from some sci-fi movie, forgot what it was called, heard it sucked a lot, but I liked the name. The number 23 was just the first number that was accepted when signing up, and I chose 23 cause it had a sort of ring to it.

No, just bored out of my mind. And if I was high I think I'd have a little more creative name.

What is the forumula to one of the worst usernames I have ever come up with, you ask? Darth + Last name. I know, it's stupid, but it's stuck now so I don't want to change it.

My name is Robert. (Some people call me Bob)

My highschool's Mascot was the Lions and my football jersey was 54. Thus the name was born years ago when we had AOL. Its my official internet name. So if you see it anywhere, its probably me.

My earliest username was Violence, which I took up when I was nine. My sister described me as violent once andI just liked the word from then. I took it up and used it everywhere.

Sabretooth was my favourite dude from the X-Men and I remember the episode "The Cauldron Part 2" from X-Men: Evolution. Sabretooth enters some cool machine and comes out evolved and cool. He has the extended canines and all and looked pretty cool. I grew inspired and I made up a fictional character - Sabretou - son of Sabretooth (very stupid, I know, but it's a foolproof name to get an email address). I tried Sabretooth here, else I would have gone for Sabretou. Sabretooth worked, so I stuck with it. It worked so well, I made it my primary username and destroyed Violence. By the middle of 2004, everybody started calling me Sabre.

Old monaker I've had since the dawn of time... I'm too old and too lazy to change it other than adding the ".2da" for the LF Forums.

Pretty generic monaker that is as boring as it can get .. hehehe..

Tons of explanations of what it means (and has meant in the past) but currently.. we'll just say 'ChAiNz-smoker' ... ;)

Surely you were around for Pie's non-gothic, immature name?? :eek: Well, it was "MMMPIE!!!" and he generally had an avatar of Weebl with matrix symbols going down in the background. (Man, those Matrix backgrounds used to be madly popular).

in 8th grade I had Advanced Band 2nd period and Algebra 3rd period (ah those were the days), and one day we needed bongos in one song, and I was the only person who had played bongos before, so I voluntereed. The next period we got this chick (who later became one of my best friends that year) transferred into the class. She said "Hey, you were the dude playin the bongos! I don't know your name, and I don't care, so I'll call you BongoBob!" And the name just stuck from there :)

Your last name is Walton. And you didn't like Wallace, thus Wally was born.

**** yeah! Descent was my very first computer game. I played it for hours on the old 486 i once had. Now my computer is too fast to run it. the ship bobs up and down too much. =\ I remember my first time in a LAN game, my friend that showed me the game, wanted to duel me. I kicked his ass so bad!!!

I kicked his ass so bad!!!Hehe, it was my first FPS game; before that I had played CivNet. :) Anyway, you can still play it on your compy, just check out these projects..DXX (http://www.descentbb.net/viewforum.php?f=37) (descent 1) D2X (http://www.descentbb.net/viewforum.php?f=34) (descent 2). It's really cool at high res.

On topic, I have never, ever come across a website that has "Samuel Dravis" already registered - it seems people have some sort of an aversion to using normal looking names on the interwebs. If you search me on google, there's going to be LOT of Descent stuff. The rest is me. :)
