Re: How did you?

I used to go by Zantar online. Played a game where when you die you're dead, gotta make a new account, I died as Zantar before meeting anyone in IRC in that game, a friend from ANOTHER game had gone by Septimus on one of his characters, so I stole it for that game, survived long enough to meet people, and stuck with it. Started playing this game with friends from the other game, so kept Septimus.

Re: How did you?

I watched too much X-files but didn't want to copy 1x1, so changed things a bit.

You never said how you came up with your name IoF?

Re: How did you?

used to play lots of senseless online fantasy rpgs, and almost always picked a troll or an orc as my character, Ogluk being a suitably orcy name stuck with me, and i've used it ever since

no it has nothing to do with the virtually unknown childrens book Ogluk the Eskimo

Re: How did you?

Well f0xx the way i came up with mine was pretty dam n00bish!

In about round 5 my second round, i started to get the hang of the game, so was asked to join a good alliance, but i had to use this *thing* called Mirc. I had no idea and to this day still have no idea how to use it.

I logged on and it said enter a name, so i did...my in game name at that very time. Ice Of Fire. People took the piss out of me for such a long time, but most of those people have left the game now :D

So that name just stuck. The other name i often use (SiderGuy) came from when i led Pestiferous and was idolising DarkSider and CityGuy for their rushes. So CG made me have this name to show how much i loved them.

My favourite game when I created the nick was chess.
But obviously it was rather boring, so I added a twist, and got Chezz...

Re: How did you?

When I worked at Mcdonalds back in '01 the people there started to call me Bob... Which evolved into Bobbin... And by some people... Bobbino... Simple really..

Now everyone except the people I work with, and my family call me Bobbin.
