Why did you choose your alias?


Why?

For me, i got it from the Incubus video "Warning". At 10:24 in the video everybody in the world vanishes. Its kind of trippy.

Although a few months later i came across liek 10 things that would make some sweet aliases.

I Incubus, never knew there was a vid for "Warning."

Mine's from my favourite (well one of my fave) U2 songs, "Ultraviolet (Light My Way)." *sniffle* Beautiful lyrics!

i took the vowels of the alphabet
drop the u
then i switched the 1st and last 2 letters
add a K

Keaoi

later i found it to be a still untranslated word from a primitive Hawaiian tribe
that freaked me out.

so i consider it to mean unknown.

/edit/ damn you google, you scare the crap out of me.

Hoooooooo boy. This is a story...

I used to be known as SpaceDrake. When Planetside was released, I was on a 56K modem. I attempted to play on Emerald. Anyone who played release will realize how that went. I tried Johari. No dice, too far away from the east coast and it filled fast too. In frustration I finally snapped... I'd make a character on Konried of all places. I'd pretend to be a girl, and trick some poor 13 year old into loving me, then... WHAM! I'd crack his mind like an egg. So I go looking for a hot yet fairly original female character to steal a name from, and I end up with Lise, lance-wielding princess of Rolante from Seiken Densetsu 3 (AKA Secret of Mana 2.) My character was going to be a little female with a huge chaingun, so it worked.

So I began. I actually made a pretty good female too. But then I began to realize something: the people on Konried back in those days rocked. Rocked hard. I stand by my sentiment that if you wanted a good gameplay experience the place to be from May to late August was Konried. It was mostly modem-friendly, the people were great (even Ram, though he was obsessed with having the biggest outfit ever ) and the fights were big enough to be fun. Unfortunately, by the time I realized this, I was already part of an outfit that was convinced I was a girl.

Doh.

I used the excuse of a modem to stay off of voice, but it was inevitable that I'd get caught. I'd be on broadband once the summer was over, so I decided to fess up...

Since so many knew me as Lise at that point, and I had never seen anyone else use the name, I figured WTS. Why not.

Haven't changed my Planetside name since.

And as a side note, I do believe it was this incident that finally spawned the "Pics or it never happened" rule we have around here.

Mine comes from my usual gamestyle in most games... I drag the ennemy where I want him and strike... but I only realised that after I chose it.

It actually came from the name of the singer in Powerman 5000. Spider One.

Had alot of names....

Urza (from MTG)
Issyl (from Battle realms)
Exodus (UO)
Exo (shorter)
Hephaistos (greek god of smithing...)

In short.... I had alot more but can't remember them... so now I'm sticking with Spider...

Because I once was aqquainted with a brother's friend's mother, and she was fanatic, and dramatic. It first turned out to be FanaticDramatic, but people called me 'DF' instead. So, I switched it around.

My younger brother had an underground metal band named Manitou. I liked it and I liked what Manitou stood for:

In Algonquian religious belief, a supernatural power that permeates the world, possessed in varying degrees by both spiritual and human beings.
A deity or spirit.
A name given by tribes of American Indians to a great spirit, whether good or evil, or to any object of worship.
I have had this name since 1998. Can't imagine going by any other...

Shitty bike shocks though...

My tag came while playing HL FireArms Mod when it was first released back in the day. A bunch of us created similar tags one night just for the hell of it. It started as RagingGerbil, I added the "The" later. The name stuck, I saw another guy in PS recently whom I haven't seen in a long while "RabbidWombat," he was there the night we made our tags too.

Prior to that, I went by "hrdcrskr." Since then, I have had different variations of the name, or just gone by "Gerbil."
