Why did you choose your alias?

[Pilgrim]

OOO history


Orriginal handle back in the good old hacker days (before the script kiddies made it a tallent free hobby)

Hunter2223- This was back in the day. I was still writing code under the pen name Christian Hunter and hacking under hunter2223 the 2223 was actually came from an online discussion in which I had smoked a guy pretty bad (firendly like) so we were joking about it later. He'd say something and I'd reply 2223 I had to come up with something that it meant so I decided I'd translate it ussing the handy phone hooked to my 9600 modem! I came up with 2bad so it was hunter2bad just cause it sounded tough

Hunter-R: Fastforward about 5 Years and Duke nukem comes out. We're playing at a LAN party and my hacker handle is more then 8 characters (and the 2223 thing sucked ass by then) so I went with my fav Comic book character Hunter Rose from MAtt Wagners Grendel As it would also not fit and no spaces it became Hunter-R

Pilgrim: About 2 years ago... maybe less, maybe more I'm old and it all runs together! I was playing DAOC and joined a Christian Guild with all my buds. They all had started new characters with lame lames like Biblethumper, and Christdefender (no I'm not kidding) I thought all the names were lame, but what's a guy to do. So i came up witht he kewlest sorta christian but sorta not name I could come up with. Problem is that of all the handles I've ever had this is the only one to stick. So now about half the people I' know in real life call me Pilgrim... and I think I'm stuck with it for a long time!

Could be worse.

And I got the Hammanator to change it by just sending him a friendly little e-mail. Near instant service!
