it all started in a cold and dark night, i was sitting on my comp desk and surfing in the intarwebs, then suddenly i decided to make e-mail account! Immidietly i whent to these "E-mail" sites and deciede to make account into this cool site called "yahoo". Now the hard spot comes i had to create accoutn name... hmmm really hard! well after some time i decided very cool name and decieded to use it BUUTT!! when i clicked "agree" button.. MY COOL ACCOUNT NAME WAS IN USE!!! AWWW I WAS FUSTARATED!!!! well after that i calmed down and decided to use anither cool name but.. IT WAS IN USE ALRADY AAAARRRRGRGRGRG, after this happened ~5 times i decided to use name ugly name, name that no one would ever want to use, it came to my mind.. the word heprea.. an really ugly and uncool name! THAT WAS IT ILL USE IT! and so now iv never had problems in making accounts with the same name.

You did just fine. Wink

Mine came from a Pen and Paper rpg called "Dungeons and Dragons" from waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back when I was a "kid". I thought it would make a groovy surname for an elvish family. My first character who had it was Janzen Shademehr, an elvish archer.

Ahhhh...good times. We had a gaming group of about 7 people which made for loads of fun. We'd get together on a night during the weekend and play rpg's and eat Bigfoot pizza's from Pizza Hut (any one remember those? They were rectangular-shaped pizzas with 3 rows of slices.)

Fortunately, it's never in use ANYWHERE so I'm always able to get it when I sign up for things.

Now everyone just calls me "Shade".

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, one of the turtles said it when some guy came on the tv "Look at this Spazzmatic" or something, and I thought Spazz was sweet.. so yoink.

I didn't really know what it meant.

You gigantic nerd. My first experience with D&D was before they had AD&D. It was just... D&D. Back when there were only seven classes: Fighter, Cleric, Magic-User, Thief, Elf, Dwarf, Halfling. (The first four were human.)

My name came from my Diablo 1 Sorcerer. I was playing around with name ideas, and I decided that "Dao" had a good ring to it. (Despite common misperceptions, I didn't get "Dao" from the religion. Rather, it came from... the D&D monsters named "Dao". A type of fire elemental, I think. Maybe earth?) I think "Dao" was taken, though, and in a moment of tepid inspiration I appended "Jones" to it, and the rest is history.

My internet handles before that were... less inspired. I'd share a few, but a quick google of those handles results in you all getting access to my... embarassing nerdy past, back when the internet was just the usenet, and all we did was post in alt. newsgroups. I didn't even remember half of the stuff I had posted way back in the day until an old friend showed me that all of that crap is archived out there. (Apparently I was a fan of the TV show "Lois & Clark", although for the life of me I can't remember ever liking that crappy show.)

The internet remembers. Shocked

Back in cub scouts we played Ultimate frisbee, and everyone got a nickname at the end of the year. Mine happened to be named Death Thrower because I could throw it hard, fast, and actually pretty accurate (in straight lines Cool). Well we all started calling each other the nick names, mine started out being shrunk to plain ol Death, then someone called me Grim Reaper and Grim just stuck. Other names were Stretch Armstrong (one of my friends was short, but I swear he could stretch and reach the curb [we played Ultimate in the street] from a good distance away), then there was Goofy, and finally Cry Baby (He cried during one game he got hit in the face when I threw it... and never lived it down.).

Yep, I've had the name Grim for the better part of my life... going on 11 years now. I name most of my characters from D2 to old names I used in DnD (AD&D back then). Shinare (White Robed Mage), Rinoa (Rogue), Carl Reaper (Knight), Arpad (Fighter/Thief, actually my friend's character but I still use the name) and Mirage (Red Robe) [The colored robes are from the Dragonlance campaign setting, if anyone is somewhat familiar with that they'd recognize my account name *grim_ofkrynn.].

Dao, someone told me it was suppose to be "DOW JONES" like the stock market..

I was pronouncing it "Day-oh Jones" in my head, not really thinking of it.. said it on ventirlo and someone was like "You mean DOW?" and then I was like Neutral

Yeah, when I saw Dao's name my first initial thought was: "Oh, clever name there Jonesie," and immediately made an image of you in my head that every accountant in the US could relate to. But alas that reality is not the case. I actually just recently coined the name Ras. I derived it from the Egyptian God Ra and then made it Rasmaren for my D2 account name. But I've been known as Shizni for a good deal of time and some of my friends back in my hometown still call me that.

Shizni was from when a big group of us high-schoolers (7 years ago now I think) went bowling after school one day. We all made up funny names for ourselves on the computer-scoring thingy as many people do. Because I was known for my inexplicable liking of rap music back then, my friends put up the name "Da Shiznit" for me. Da Shizni showed up because it only allowed 9 characters to be seen and I was henceforth known as Shizni.

I have gone under other names such as Xel (face to face RPG called Amber) and made the name Mediocrity for my tag on Halo 2. I think I like Ras the best though.

Oh come on. What about B[x]? I am guessing it has something to do with your engineering studies.

I like the letter, "V."

It's my favorite letter.

And I love words with two, "U"'s, in them.

But I love V since it has 2 sides, and 2 lines, and forms a double ray angle.
