    Obscure thug from Slapshot. As the Chiefs represent the way Hockey is truly meant to play and Ogie Oglethorpe represented the meanest and cruelest villain in the league, I felt compelled to use it.

    By the by everyone knows hockey thugs are nice guys off the ice.

      Mine's not really interesting. It's just a term I dragged out of the Night's Dawn trilogy, which I was reading by the time I signed up.

          That's right, but I didn't learn that until after I signed up. I'm planning to read it some day.

            I am annoyed that somebody stole my idea of Urban Ranger to write a kit for AD&D. Where can I sue for trademark if not copyright?

              Eh, AD&D is dead and gone. Make way for third edition!

                I used to be called Fran by my friends but when I came online I soon realized that it sounded like a girlie name

                A stupid friend of mine renamed me Frami (Fran from Milan, yes it's SO stupid )

                That sounded SO gay!

                It soon became Fran.it then just Franit.. in SMAC Alien Crossfire I always played Datajack Roze and Foreman Domai.. well, no thanks
                I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

                  Well, Giovanni is my first name, but when I tried to register as it i saw it was taken (by a 1970 German guy with 0 posts BTW)

                  therefore I added to it my favourite drink, Wine (Red Wine to say the truth).

                  I'm using this nickname in every international forums, although when I'm on an Italian Forum, I use the nickname "Sognatore" which is the Italian for Dreamer.

                      • My first nick was SMAniaC on the alpha.owo and ACOL forums, a more original nick for SMAC Maniac of course. A few weeks later I registered on the Apolyton forums to post in the Civ3 - The List section. Of course in a civ3 atmosphere SMAC had no part. Also some people thought my nick meant sex maniac, which wasn't exactly what I intended... Therefore I switched to M@ni@c. The @'s to keep it at least a little original. But it's just such a pain in the ass both for me and other people to write that name every time, so just two months ago or so I changed it into Maniac. So from a nick which I haven't encountered anywhere else I now have a nick which you encounter almost everywhere. Oh well, at least it writes easier.

                        • Amazingly, I put a little thought into the one I use here. I did a search for goddesses and read up on them til I found one I liked.

                          On other forums/email I mostly use a version of my initials and name or a nick-name I've had since I was a child.

                          • Ishtar's a cool name I used to be Horus on a couple of other forums, and briefly went by Osiris elsewhere, but there aren't any really good male gods...

                              • I've had several user names and DL's.

                                Krushala was my first user name. I've always liked the world Krusher with a K. We used to have an old radio station that called themselves Krusher. KRSR were their call letters. I just added the other part when I was playing SMAC as the morganites. It sounded more african

                                I also had an Indian (Southern Paiute) name I used briefly. It was their word for the Las Vegas valley.

                                I also had Black Bart. He was a polite stage coach robber (or trains) If I remember correctly- which I probably don't. Also there is an obscure Iron Maiden song called Black Bart Blues. Plus bart had the Simpsons connection which I love. And I like the colour black, so that was an obvious name.

                                I had a DL called Fistful of Steel. Basically ripped off from a Rage Against the Machine song. I mainley used this DL to clash with EVC. He was a muslim militant.

                                I also had a DL called Barfasm. Barf as in the name of the John Candy character in the great movie Spaceballs. And I thought the asm part was a funny touch. I eventually made him french to clash with Blacktide: the french hating DL.

                                I also had a DL called Ass Monkey. Do I really need to explain that name?

                                I also had a DL called maryjane. Self explanatory.

                                I may have had a few more DL's I can't remember right now.

                                NOTE to moderators. I already confessed to these DL's and was already punished 1500 post counts.

                                And then my current name Dissident. It was originally Dissident Aggressor which was ripped off from a great Judas Priest song that was also covered by Slayer. I dropped the aggressor part as that sounded too militant. But I like the dissident part. It doesn't necessarily have to be a violent opposition. The dictionary just describes it as one who's opinions differ from others- or something like that. Since I am unique and not like the general american population, I figure that fits me.
