Your "Name"

[Titanwarrior89]

Just thought i would ask. Your name in the forums how did you come up with it?

Such has Mr Frag, 2ndACR, and the other names in the forums.[:D] Got Mine playing my brother on Neverwinters Nights. He is more into role playing- i'am not. So i kept the name, got use to it.[:D]

This is for all you fellows.[:'(]

[2ndACR]

Took the name of my Regiment in Desert Storm. Best unit in the Army in my opinion. At least we were at that time. Now they have no Brads or M1A1. Just hummers.

If you ain't cav, you ain't sh**!! and all that.

[Titanwarrior89]

AAAAH Nice! Sounds good. [:)]

[von Murrin]

Playing Combat Mission with a tactically inept friend. He would always complain about fighting von Manstein or von Rundstedt, and eventually just combined "von" with my surname. It stuck, for some wholesome German Irishness. [:D]

I'm really not that great at CM. He, however, really sucks at the game.

[Tankerace]

Tankerace

I came up with that, in two ways. Back when I first got a computer (1998ish) one of my first games was Panzer Commander, in which I quickly became an ace with tanks, as I could routinely get to a flanking shot of a Panther with a sherman, so TankerAce(as I first spelled it) seemed a good choice.

The second reason is about this time, I got Silent Hunter and Command Aces of the Deep, and because I would love to torpedo tankers just to see them explode, I became a sort of ace at sinking tankers. So, I just figured "Eh, sounds good." So, when I first got online with AO Hell, I used Tankerace, and now that's what I always use.

Er, it's my name? Simon Prior

Keroro Gunsou, which is Japanese for Sergent "Rivet" (the frog sound), is my current role-model and strategy master for WitP. Keroro is sort of an alien, updated Sergent Bilko, with cooler weapons but a tendency to forget all else in search of the perfect Gundam model. I no longer build models, but I do watch anime in order to relieve the frustrations from trying to play this game.

(See my "WitP Creed" for more "enlightenment")

Oh wait, you meant my "name" and not my secret identity and picture? First initial of first name, middle name, first initial of last name. That's so mundane, maybe I'll rename myself Keroro Jr. ...

[DeepSix]

Well I have a special talent for "sinking" anything technological. As they say, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.[:'(]

[Tom Hunter]

The forum set up asked me to enter my name. I did not come up with it my parents did. Except that I am the 3rd so actually some long dead Scots immigrant to the USA named John Hunter came up with it some time in the 1890s.

[Titanwarrior89]

Just was wondering what the history is behind some of the names. Interesting so far.[:D]

Ever since the X-men comics became popular, Rogue is hard to get.

[ZonkerHarris]

Zonker Harris, my spiritual mentor and guide. Even though I'm nothing at all like him, I aspire to remain mellow.

[rogueusmc]

Like your avatar?...[:D]

[ZonkerHarris]

Ash isn't mellow, but he's a bit more like my actual attitude. "Good, bad . . . I'm the guy with the gun." [:D]

[Tiornu]

I found it in a Gaelic-English dictionary. It is a word for nobility; "lord" would be a good translation. I'm using it for a character in a novel I'm writing. In the novel, Tiornu is an obnoxious, egocentric malcontent.
He is nothing like me.

[Stavka_lite]

It seems that I always play the Russians in whatever wargame I play. Hence... Stavka_lite

[Zeta16]

Well the Zeta is my college frat "Zeta Phi" and 16 is becasue my favorite hockey player was Brett Hull. I have used that user name since 1997. It started on NTN triva at Damon's for sports triva and has evovled to everything that needs a user name.

[Mike Scholl]

My parents gave it to me.....
