It's kinda a weird story... I had to do a school project on a person from WW2, so I chose Rommel. I ended up getting a really high mark, and passed S.S. (my worst subject). So in short I chose this name to honour the great man who helped me pass my worst subject. :p :p :p

At first I was gonna use Erwin Rommel as my name but I forgot my password and had to start a new account.

Darth Rommel sounds better anyways don't ya think?

You guys chose your names? Jeez, I was born with mine. :p

Seriously though, I'm a twin. It was decided that the first baby born would be named Rhett and the second named Chase. I'm pretty glad I was the first. :D

As for my screen name, *copied from earlier post*,

Well, it all started a few years ago when I came up with Star Wars names for everyone in my family.* Boba Rhett sounded cool so I stuck with it and so it became the name I used and still use for everything.

* = sad ain't it?

Thus concludes this post. :)

i also have 2 other names i use:

Garindan is one of them. I was into rebellion at the time and Garindan happened to be my favorite one to use in espionage, and without him, the imperials couldn't have traced the droids to the falcon.

Torment is the name of the my favorite RPG. It fits well, since I torment people in and out of games hehe. Many peeps have said the name is right for me. It's a mixed feeling to see peeps leave games because you join.

"Oh no it's him again"

-Said by serveral people on the zone and gamespy hehe.

Me and my friends were doing a SW parody over e-mail about three years ago. It eventually got really stupid, and it pretty much became spaceballs.

I eventually needed a counter for Yogurt, so OnlyOneCanoli was born. Totally original... and I like it. =)

Gonk - noun;
Power droid existing the the Star Wars universe, created by esteemed film writed George Lucas, particularly present in the renowned PC Action game, 'Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight'. These cute looking boxes with stumpy little legs are shown to have no general purpose in this place where they are so common, other than walking round proclaiming 'GONK! GONK!' and being a general nuisance.

see also- Target practice, annoying, stupid

H8er - abbrev. noun;
One who hates. Abbreviation of 'Hater'. Often used in conjunction with another word, ie- PretzelH8er, ZoneH8er.


Put simply, I Hate Gonks. It's corny, i know. my old alias used to be IH8Gonks, but I changed it.

I sometimes also use the alias Evolution, but that was mainly in tribes and tribes 2.

how bout the rest of u guys? :)

I picked this one because Alexander the Great (the Macedonian, you name it), the conqueror of the Asian Empire.

Here in Argentina is called Alejandro Magno, so (despite the macedonian-almost greek origin) I latinized it a little, so it came to Magnus... Magnum! He...
I used to be "Blort Lort Ort Rt T", but it confuses people :D
Use it at ICQ, though

I use Jackal because it sounds similar to my last name (Jacques).

However I sometimes go by the name of: ComradCanuck... don't ask me why. Even I'm not sute.

I was playing JK one of the first weeks it was released when I picked up my name. I was taunting some other would-be jedi and I just happened to be slaughtering him everytime he'd respawn.

He said something like, "There's no escape from you..."

I said, "Yes.. you are correct. Zero Escape"

Then I changed my nick on the spot to "ZeroXcape" and it stuck with me ever since...

I don't really remember. The first time I used this name was in a story I was writing, about 5 or 6 years ago. It just popped in my mind I guess (yeah, my mind is weird like that). I've used it as my online name ever since.

Lets see, a long time ago (on this planet, duh) I was playing Jedi Knight in a computer camp I went to. Then, Shadows of the Empire came out, and I thought he was the coolest. I added the 1 because...uhhh...I just did. Anyway, I was very good at Jedi Knight. People did not know I was Dash, and kept wondering who killed them. I liked the name, so I kept it. I use it on the Zone. I also have the name PunkBoy in other games (Half-Life Mods, Tribes demo) I got that name from my Tae Kwon Do instructor.
