The Origin of your Warrior Name

Well, my first online gaming was in Diablo. I had a really wierd name at the time (i forget what it was, it was long and some variation on the word Dragon, which is one of my favorite creatures). As time went on, i looked for a new name, and at the time i was in to dinosaurs, and had just seen jurassic park... so i took the name raptaron. About a year passed, and i had started picking up latin roots from the books i read, science class, and random chance. I was still looking for a good name, and i realized that Raptor, being the latin for Bird of Prey, was perfect. So, i went into Starcraft bearing the name of RaptorMax. I have kept it ever since, only occasionally modifying it down to Raptor to fit space constraints with tags, it has held with me through Starcraft broodwars (SC and SC:BW totalling something like three years of my life and at least a thousand hours of game time, probably more like two or three. I was young.) Today, it is a symbol of they way i fight: i like to attack fast, hard, and from a direction you dont expect, if possible, from above.

 

Mine is way boring.

When I first started up with Unreal Tournament (yes, i'm a relative n00b to the online world, only had a decent computer for a little more than a year) , I used my real life nickname, Tredogg. My real name is Trevor and friends just started calling me that to poke fun at the rap culture (they could've used Ice Tre but that was already taken in Don't be a Menace... )

Then, a little bit before I started on T2, I started using Groovie Mann which is the moniker of the lead singer of my favorite band, My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult.

That's it.

Ho Hum

P.S. My sig is a take on the Thrill Kill logo. If you look closely you can see the letters TKK

 

Hmm, well, My first online name was Smash, thats what I did in t1, Yep you guessed it, I was a HO. When t2 came along I wanted to try something different, really different, I went into light armor and started capping, I really liked that, ALOT. Much more so than HO. So, I needed a new name. I took my name from local native american culture (I live in south dakota) and fit it to what I liked to do. Thus came the Name Swift as Feather. I really like the name but most people now just call me SAF, or swifty. I like that too .


So, there you have it

I heard the shoutcaster call me Swift as a feather a few times, but its actually just Swift as Feather, no a.

 

Let's see...origin of my name(s)..

Dirty Sanchez in T1...loved the meaning behind it...also the name sounded sweet...unfortunately...so did 20 other ppl playing the game. So I dumped it.

Os2...(Operation Specialist)...it was my rank in the Navy....It was a ghey handle and most ppl thought it was some sort of operating system. So I dumped it.

=Oz=.... Thought it was cool...but I dumped it because it's to generic.

Poop On My Finga....Now this one I like....but a bit childish...that's ok...still like it.

Wasted Bastard....Well, this name just fits. I used to drink constantly (12 pack a day) when I graduated college. I loved nothin' more than getting off work and getting absolutely ripped out of my mind. Blackout was my goal. So basically, I was a "Wasted Bastard". Not too much thought in the name, but I like it. Unique to some degree.

*Side note...I don't drink that much anymore...maybe twice a month. So no lectures on alcoholism or I will start turning up the Jagr bottle now.

 

My first real on-line gaming expierience was Tribes 1. I went through many names before I chose WinterKnight. For a short time during my tenure with the Raging Angels I was known as (-RA-)DarkKnight. After long thought I realized I enjoyed being WinterKnight. The name I picked when I first belonged to a clan..V3. We were a Tribes 1 Insomniax Clan. I choose WinterKnight because winter is my favorite season. I have always tried to conduct my self with a high level of repsect and a great amount of respect for others. I also studied Medival History and enjoyed the tales and legends about the Knights of old. When I brought both names together, it fit perfect.

 

Well my story is very unique. MANI MADE ME BE MRS. MANI !!!!!

 

Wellllllllllllllllll here goes nothing, I actually had this posted in the old forums

Way way back when T1 came out I had never played online games b4 this but I did play alot of Flight sims, and generally I used the name Slambo as my call sign, I came into Tribes and played under Slambo for a while and had a happy time spamming "Aww Crap" and other stuff along with Team killing in base and raping my own base having generally no respect for the game or people thtay played it so I got Kicked from servers alot. It eventually got bad that I generally got kicked from servers the second I joined so I changed my beloved name Slambo to Morphius <--- Spelled incorretly and played under that name for a long time and somtimes went by "<-----<<<" I started earning respect for the game when I was asked by a guy if I wanted to join his clan called BH and I have no clue what clan that was but I wore the tag anyways and found that I generally got more respect or help from other pub players with a tag but no soor I was back to my dumbass antics of Tking, voice spamming and being a jerk, one night I was doing this with my Cuzz Hayha sitting behind me while playing and I got Kicked from another server so I changed the name back to Slambo and got immidiately booted again. I looked at my cuzz laughing and said Ill just name myself KickedOut seeing how im always getting kicked from servers, so the name began and soon after I was playing IX with a guy that had a tag DoB on I cant rememebr his exact name now it was some raginigneckneck or somthing else and asked him I could join DoB cuzz they seemed to own the pubs soon after I was asked to join DoB.

I played in few matches mainly as defensive player and was at every practise if you can call it that and basically hung out with my old Drinkers of Beer for a while Neo, GreatDane, K-sera, Negkills, Sterling, Schrike, Mavmange, Oed. DoB desolved and KM was formed fromt the best and brightest of DoB and we kicked ass playing as a small group of 10 guys. I wanted to change my name but my buddy Dane talked me out of it several times so it stuck after all peesp were so used to calling me KO I kinda liked it and still have it to this day.

Cheers KO

Name

Mine Comes from a book i read along time ago and ive used it in everygame for the last 10 yrs or so. As of Late ive been Shads and use it in all my new games and you guys are the reason i have it. I also have a dragon on each shoulder as you can see in old pictures on here. So A Dragon Wolf I am Heart and Soul.

 

I’ve had quite a few names. Even way back in the days of MECC with the old “tele-type” computers that didn’t have monitors – the actions of the game were typed up to you as they happened and you responded (typed in commands) accordingly…
The most common ones…

KoolKat - a rip off of the old Hanna Barbarra cartoon & CB Handle.

Fox - (this was an old D-n-D character that I started in about ’81 and played for many….many years. Of course we HAVE a FOX so I cannot chose that.

One Lucky Bastard, Some Mothers Son, etc. - smurf names. Designed primarily around the announcements in Quake and Unreal (“Oed was killed by One Lucky Bastard”) etc…

Dominator, Soulcatcher – From “The Black Company” series by Glenn Cook

Sterling – Still my fav, and I think it defines me pretty much. However, but that name was registered 4 days before I got my T2 copy. I don’t even think he plays any more (I’ve emailed and asked him for it. I’ve even offered him copies of other games. No response)

Oysterboy – Smurf name. I own a lot of Blue Oyster Cult albums (yes…albums)

PumpMonkey – This is a joke that was played on me. I made the name up yelling at someone. Oed, Schrike and a few others literally made quotes, buttons and a great deal of trouble to make this name VERY Prominent at MINICON (The Minnesota Science Fiction / Fantasy Convention). Hell – it won best (and worst) in the convention that year. Visit the Cthulhu Coffee link and scroll to the bottom for more information...

Oed, Schrike and I have considering making The Return of PumpMonkey to Conventions officially next year.
I've got two very cool ideas for sci-fi related videos for the next CONVergence in MN... but we shall see….

PS - Yes, that's the Official PM Logo below...

 

Well my real name (HappyPuppy) came from me thinking. I thought damn puppies kick so much ass. Then I thought damn and when puppies are happy then are even sweeter. The only think is I don't think to myself like that.

FlamingPuppy was even harder. Two days of look hard thinking. I really don't remember what made me think of it?

 

ChrisMOG:

I took my first name (Chris) and then the name of this moogle dude from Final Fantasy VI (small white snowbear-looking dude who attacks people by dancing (???) while making purring noises (??????)) named MOG (yes I am a dork) and combined them in such a glorious way. I made this name when I was like 11 so gimme a break ;Þ Atleasts its unique :Þ

Go away evil thunderstorm.

 

ChrisMOG~! Lordy-lordy-lordy~!

How you been man???

Haven't seen you for a LONG time (Back in T1 days~!)


~PM~ (AKA Sterling)

 

Muted - I have no clue......maybe TV
