Hello.

Once again I was stunned by reading a user's name of another Forum.

He or she chose the name "Die Furcht" (meaning "The Fear") as Username in a board. I was astonished that someone could use such a name. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Another one I once found was "Geldausgeber", meaning "Moneyspender". <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

Have you, too, found such extraordinary names ?

Alrik.

AlrikFassbauer, sounds so evil :s

Well I one saw a member named after a cartoon character. How pafetic is that not enough imagination to come up with his own name. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

I know, some of us have no imagination at all..... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

"Death at the door" sounds even worse, IMHO <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

@ Morbo
Morbo is not your real name ? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

@ Kejero
I like the name Death At The Door, it's a good name for a RPG forum.

Every time I read it, I must think of DEATH in the Discworld saga. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Yeah and it's great for knock knock jokes.

knock knock
Who's theire
Death
Death who
Death at the door


Ok maybe not that funny.

And Morbo is not my real name. Would be a bit strange. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

Kabuti is my real name..

After all this time of seeing your name and that little avatar I just realized who Morbo is. He's that alien newscaster on Futurama that always says stuff like, ""Pathetic humans! Prepare to hear today's weather! Mwa ha haaa!" He cracks me up.

You're correct puny human number 1.

...

I WILL DESTROY YOU. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />


naah just kidding. IF you want to learn about morbo check this

But in all fairness I am also part Zapp Branigan because I suffer from a very sexy learning disability, sexlexia. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />

my name has no meaning at all!

Some people could actually win an originality price on naming...with some of the names i've seen i wonder how they name their character...

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

I like those "how on earth did he came up with that" nicknames

yeah, like Virgo Bluefire..... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> but he already told his story somewhere here
in this massive thread vault....

I'll see if'in i can't find the old one.... yep <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

here it is! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

I tend to agree with whomever it was, about at least trying for an original name, (yeah I know mine aint that original but it has a history) I mean you go playing some Multiplayer game and you get at least 1 if not more (in variations of spelling) of Drizzt D'uorden, Zaknafein, heck I have even seen Elminster poor fella was only first level when I met him <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Newest addition : From the JoWood Forum : "Ali G is in da house".

Interesting.

I find my name original, don't ask me how I found this name cause I don't know it anymore. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

That one is just boring to me Alrik.
To typical... from the hip hop/house music scene.

How about this one:
guy4cuty
?

I don't know who Ali G is . <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

Anyway, it sounds like a certain style, that's right ...

Hmmmm, naaah. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

I named myself after Jagged Jimmy J, a character in Fallout 2. I posted as "Jagged Jimmy J" on a Fallout message board way back when, later shortening it down to the name I use today.

Was he the drug seller in the street ? or was he a "family" member who had a rather nice knife?, i loved fallout 2 and might well play it through again. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

To late anyway. It's taken.
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/offtopic.gif" alt="" />
Nice to see you again too, Womble.
Hope you and the mis(tre)ses been fine.
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

He was the drug seller standing outside of the boxing arena.

Alrik. Check out this link to Ali G .

Seth: Nice to see you around too. The Wife and I are fine, thanks. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Nero....just makes sense for RPG's....think about it by the time you finish any RPG you have killed hundreds if not thousandes of baddies.....Nero would be proud <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />

Just noticed this topic.

Yes, that's why it's written in caps <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />.

My name has a meaning, y'know?
First, Death, in Tarrot, is a card which means change. Actually death itself is a change. So "Death at the Door" means that changes approach, for better or for worse. It's my philosphy.
For the same reason, my RPG characters are named "Helem'gefd Ranco" because it's an anagram of "Freedom" and "Change"... the "L" stands for El Freedom :P


EDIT: Nero... For some reason I always think of the CD burning program <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Ali G? One of the worst sites I ever heard. Awful taste.

Well, you have to come from/have been around the london area to understand the humour. The show is hilarious then.

Yes, you're probably right.
From what I've seen, black people and "whigers" just love wearing big diamond rings the size of Big Ben and solid gold chains with 1" thick links. Of course, usually it's copper and glass <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />.
Oh well, just proves my ignorance <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shhh.gif" alt="" />

I haven't seen Potato as a member on the user list yet....... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

The guy isn't even black. He's ridiculing the indian/pakistani black wannabies, the sort who drive around in crappy ford fiestas with huge exhausts... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> I think he's jewish actually. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Virgo: Potatoe would be funny. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/stupid.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

Yes,
Seen it a few times on BBC I think.
Although...some time ago already.
Not sure anymore.

Actually it was on channel 4 in the UK originally. (yes we only have 5 channels)

OK. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I didn't remembered well anymore.
His face rings a bell. I just didn't know what bell anymore.
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

just another faceless bell...... oh well.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

yeah...
As long as it isn't on a cow it's not to bad I guess.

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

as Kabuti is my real name...without any interesting story behind it.....
here's the names i use for my characters
Females: Alivanna, Asiria
Males: B, Kabuti

My name is not really original either. It was taken from "Generia" in which I was almost named for real. Hehe! I just cut it short to Gia. But, later on I realized that there was a person named Gia (a model?) and made a movie about her. Many people tend to think I named myself after her <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />.

Anyhoooooo, it's been a while since I was here last. I missed this forum!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" /> I've been so busy lately, I haven't had much time to hang out here. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" />

Oh @ Gia.... hiya Gia <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" /> ..........
stay longer next time eh? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />




and just what have you....against cows, those bovine beauties? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
does this have to do with a certain joke......not long ago?? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
about cowroker and coworkers <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/stupid.gif" alt="" />

Haha! Still the silly (but sweet) Jurak I remember. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" /> Good to see you again!

hope u'll be back here for good, gia. not just for <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" /> but also for DD2. not to forget us all. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

mines VERY origanal.


and potatoe??? well thats mine, so no one can take it! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

Wow.. janggut.. you have over 1500 posts already. Look at all this stuff I missed <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

And lews... potatoe??

yes?? what about potatoe???


wait, do you not know what the potatoe thing is about? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> HELP ME, I'M SCARED!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" />

Hmm maybe Barta can help out here with a couple of kilo's "Pomme du Terre" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Eh.. What's the potatoe thing? Like I said, I haven't been around in a while. I have been busy with work and school. I haven't played a game in a long time either. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" /> she doesn't know!

What? What? *Runs around in confusion calling for help*

What's the potatoe thing?? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" />

Clause 1258: All polls shall include the option "potatoe" for LewsTherinKinslayer13, and only LewsTherinKinslayer13, to select.

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> hear hear <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/exclamation.gif" alt="" />

heh heh heh.

a poll's not a real poll unless it has potatoe in it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> everything else is fake.


i have no clue how i even have the name <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" /> Barta knows the most about it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

I'm such a dumb {nocando} <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

I don't even know how i got the name!

it was some poll in the old Poll thread, I awnsered potatoe or something ,and always wanted to vote potatoe in all other threads. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

I recently read a the nick of a forummember spomewhere else ... he or she took the name "Giraffengesicht", meaning "giraffe face" ... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

well it is kinda original....silly...but at least you're sure nobody else has it..

The story of the potatoe option

Yes the "potatoe option" started in the old Poll thread.
A very great thread with a lot of fun in it but it has been deleted.
Now there is a new Poll thread somewhere in the section "Chat English".

I was not the first to use the "potatoe option", it was the bean.
I thought that it was a great idea and i added a "potatoe option" in all my polls.

Now there is no real poll in these boards without the "potatoe option" in it.
And you can't forget the spelling mistake, you have to write "potato" with a "e".

Barta

this is the great man (R.I.P.) that i got my name from... Karl Jurak
amazing man.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> " Karl's history is unique. Born in Vienna"

"Potatoe option" ? Hmmm ... this could be a good Easteregg in the game ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

As for ny nickname.
I used the nickname Eginhard, It is old german name and It means "Strong with a sword". After the name moved into scandinavia it changed, one of it's variations is what I have as my real name.

I played DAOC a lot and used nick Eginhard as my main. People often called me Egin, just to shorten it, you know what is a world of MMORPG, where often you don't have time to type - thank you mate, and use - ta mt instead <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

So, I started to use Egin as my nick. I know it doesn't fit very well with TNO's ava, I was looking for good modron or even sarcastic skull ava, but couldn't find.
