In school you could get a point in foreign languages if you told a good joke every friday when there was free time in the language you chose. I was doing horrible on mine and started looking up jokes to tell. When I told jokes every friday there was time. They called me jokemaster

Ok...mine is interesting.

I was thinking of an email address, one that would stick to me for while. Well, I hadnt been on the internet for a month or two, so....whatever.......well anyways....I was doing a shop project and I had to paint a car thingy, and the kind of paint I bought was Acrylic paint. Well, I thought "Hey, Acrylic sounds cool" so that would be part for sure.

then

I looked across the room, and there was my guitar....so I thought "Huhm...Acrylic and Guitar.......AcrylicGuitar! YEA!"

So, it stuck with me for a while now.....2 months longer than my joining date....and without Kjolen (K-Jo Skirtie), I wouldnt have been in these here forums. :D

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?

[ July 26, 2001: Message edited by: Darth_Rommel ] word, i had to do a position paper on Rommel not too long ago, very interesting man.

Xerxes...the leader of the Persian army during the invasion against Greece.

Kyle Katarn is my favorite EU character.

Katarn.

Kyle defeated 7 Dark Jedi in JK, before JO came out. If I had played JO, I'd be Katarn09. That sounds bad. I hate Desann anyhow; he sucked as a character.

I guess it all started back in 1997 wehn I had AOL and I was changing my e-mail address every week. I was Dengar8D8, greedo8D8, BobaFett9D9, etc. then I got a yahoo game account and thought the name greed626 was kinda catchy (I say it greedo 6 2 6 not 6 26 or 626 or 62 6). anyway I liked the sound of it so I stuck with it and now I use it everywhere (it's even my nickname on my SAT and college applications):)

 RpTheHotrod

Hmm...well...some people think it comes from Rodimus Prime The Hotrod but....


I was nicknamed Hotrod (the car!!!) when I was about 7 years old. It stuck with me until Diablo, where battle.net wouldn't take Hotrod (already used). I then changed the name to TheHotrod...and then started a clan later for StarCraft called "Reapers". Rp was the tag. Eventually, I got too busy in life and left the clan. However, I kept the Rp tag as a trademark for anything I owned online (plus, no one else would have RpTheHotrod, while some people might have TheHotrod. Makes it better by signing up without worrying about someone else having the name.

SO!!!


RpTheHotrod

Luc Solar was a cheesy name I came up with when playing my first Star Wars game more than a decade ago. I guess it was some sort of hybrid from Luke Skywalker and Han Solo...I dunno.

I wouldn't say it a "cool" name but I've got used to it. :)

Whenever I'm playing I add stuff to the name though.. you know, like:
Luc[Ph34rMe!]Solar / Luc[2Drunk!]Solar / Luc[SpareMe!]Solar :D

Lol, I thought you got it from the game Vampire The Masquerade,

There are a bunch of knights that are called the teutonic knights, its probly from that era then. I remember chopping their head of and using the animate dead spell, and walk around with no head. It was fun! :D

I'm a big Babylon 5 fan - when I first came onto the internet about 3 years ago, I was signing onto a Babylon 5 forum. I needed an alias, so I thought for a second, and suddenly The_One was born. Should've been The One, but the forum didn't support spaces, that's why you see both The_One and The One around ;)

By the way, if you're not a Babylon 5 fan, I'm not explaining it.

I also get highly frustrated when people think my name is derived from that Jet Lee film. I have not seen it, nor do I intend to. This is 100% pure B5 :D

I had a series of names that involved the name Omega. Most of them were offensive based, such as.........

TheDarkOmega
OmegaWarLord
OmegaDestroyer
HolyOmega

So I decided for a defensive-based name.......I thought up Guardian and that's how I got my name.......
