How did you choose your Username? - Page 14

the_tyrant · 02-01-11, 04:01 PM

Rise of The Tyrant by Arch Enemy was my favorite album when I got into forums and stuff

Also, if you see a guy called *****, thats also me
you know, there are lazy people who use their user name as their password
I'm lazy, but i try to be creative. I use my password as my username

Rilder was a name given to me by a random name generator in Runescape years ago when I played.

Now I use it for pretty much everything, or slight variation of it

Rilder
Rukder
Ryel Durak(For games that require first and last names)
and so on...

Also, since almost nobody can pronounce it right. Its pronounced Ryelder.

It's really an inside joke, and not the best choice for a screen name, but again, I didn't think I'd be using it much. I've been meaning to change it to just "Lance" or something equally less bothersome to type, but I've never gotten around to it.

And here I figured it was just a combination of the rank and the fact that this forum was dedicated to sub sims.

Won't matter since it's more fun to just call you McBee.

In that case you'd be in the featherweight division

I have no idea why I ended up with mine..

I used to play a lot of WWII flight sims online and used the call sign Pappy as it was the first thing that poped in my head. When I made my first email address it would not let me use Pappy and suggested 'Pappy55'...

It's stuck ever since, I don't really like the name any more it's like a bad habit I can't get rid of.

Missing Name · 02-01-11, 05:32 PM

I'll join in on the necrothread.

My name came about because I was being extremely creative on some other forum. It's the name I use almost everywhere, with some variants here and there on places that allow me to change my display name. Ex. Sgt. Missing Name, I Don't Have a Name, __________, Без имени, that guy, etc. On occasion, I use another favorite such as Hugo Stiglitz, Ernst Stavro Blofeld or Max Headroom.

...I love dogs. I have two poodles back home, and as far as I know they're driving my parents insane. The little fluffy bastards.

Armistead · 02-01-11, 06:42 PM

27 years ago I got into Civil War reenacting. Did it with a group in NC for a few years and during one mock battle I put my sword through my hat, lifted it and shouted "charge". A union reenactor said look "he thinks he's Armistead"...my group never stopped calling me since.

Our group did partake of the movies Gettysburg and Gods and General. No, I wasn't Armistead in either, they had a great reenactor who was also a stage actor do that role. I did die 3 times and you can see my face for a total of 3 seconds in Gettysburg... I'm the great looking guy, can't miss me.

It arrests my attention.

How on earth does he find that whistle? And who is that dork on the left trying to be "righteous"? And where is the cut point? Where does the vid start.

I have messed up 30K tons of approaches now, because I have been making solutions on one screen while that hypnotic thing is on the other.
