I dont know if any of you use your real name for your user name. So i made this topic asking how did you come up with your online alias?

My gay 8-year-old mind thought this sounded cool wayyy back in the day when I played Halo 1 for PC. It basically stuck up until like 1 and a half years ago. On all other games than this one, I use General Wartz. Basically just because I wanted a name with a funny play on words. Anyways as far as I'm known on the Stick Online community, I'm keeping this name...as I'm already too well known by it. Also...I am never sure why I added exclamation points to Mr Pwnage (!Mr_Pwnage!)...I guess I thought it looked cool....I later stopped using it after taking my first year of Spanish class because it reminded me of Spanish punctuation and I wasn't trying to have a Hispanic name...yeah, it's complicated.

I used to be a big FPS player (reaching various leader-board statuses) So if you break it down. Notoriety+M4a1 = NotoriousM4. As for the exponential key thrown in there, I can't really remember. I think it had something to do with it looking like the private rank sign, or something with exponential power.

I once was on a Maplestory Private Server chatroom, and we were joking around with funny names. One of the GMs who happened to be on there suggested "EpicWin". Then, we experimented with EpicFail, and changed it to EpicPhail because we thought we were cool. I took it since everybody else wanted to keep their original ones.

Later, I found out that EpicPhail is a common username, and the online games I played didn't let me use it as my log-in or character name because it was already taken, so I used Epicphailure or Epicphailage. Nowadays, I use Kainerok on other forums/games.

Stick Online was the first game I ever used the name Lucifer in, and frankly I don't remember why. It probably has to do with my Diablo 1/2 obsession at the time, I'm really not sure. Before that I used the name Silencer for the First Person Shooters I played, and occasionally Hexfire or Hexfiresword, named after my favorite weapon in Diablo 2.

Back before Halo 3 was released, me and my brothers were making characters for Halo 2 Multiplayer. Anyways I named my character Coocooclock cause my brothers told me to. It was supposed to be an insult but I didn't know cause I was stupid when I was young. Anyways later on I removed the Coocoo part of the name and replaced it with my favorite number, 11. So here I am! :D

A mixture of my first and last name.

the 32 popped up because it was my little brothers basketball name at the time.

My original name was Killoby until I realized how gay that sounded.  (I was roughly 8 when I made it)

Last time I tried getting on these forums(now a few years ago) it kept telling me to wait for Admin approval. Back then the game was shut down and without access I just kind stopped trying after a while. MSN Messenger I only really used with S.O. people so I kind of forgot about that as well and fell out of the community. Flash forward to yesterday: I stumble upon G4(which used to be TechTV) and remembered Gamemaker was once featured on there. I go to download Gamemaker again, learn that none of my keys work anymore(great support service Softwrap has...) and end up just rebuying it. This leads me back to the GMC where a link to Stick-Online.com was still the banner in my signature. I took an hour guessing my MSN password and then finally asked Scott what was going on and now I'm back here! I'll be donating tonight or tomorrow and I'll be back in the game.

tl;dr a long chain of events and I'm back.

The jack part ought to be fairly obvious, and the bomb part comes from my obsession with nuclear and atomic weaponry at the time I joined stickonline. Actually, this was my first online multiplayer game I ever joined, so I just used it for everything.

I always use Meiun whenever I can, and on the very rare occasion it is unavailable it usually just ends up being Meiun7. I mainly just use it because I am so well known by most people by it, not really as much cause I think it's a great name anymore. Anyways, now that I have said something that can be considered on topic, now to the main point of me posting here...

Post by: Pat on April 20, 2010, 02:59:49 AM
Before going online anywhere I used to draw stickmen comics which involved one stickman killing the shit out of a bunch of other stickmen. They were called Pat's stix. Then I joined the Zelda: OOT2D forums (wish it were still around) and used it there for the first time, later making an email with it. I used pat_stix up until 2 years ago where my friends started calling me Packie (because of GTA4) and I started using that for around a year when I changed it to Pat Lithium (After Lithium by Nirvana). I recently started using Pat the Baby Seal and BabySeal in some online games because of a joke in a "trouble in terrorist town" server.
I've also used MooMooPro because when I started using game maker I labeled my games as made by "Moo Moo Productions" because of my obsession with cows. When I first played Stick Online in 2006 I used the name Moomoo (level 1 about half way to level 2) but I forgot the password when I went to play again used the name pat_stix.

I used to go by Seifer or Seifer_Guy if Seifer was taken on any game/forum I frequented. This is ofcourse after the character Seifer from FF8.

I now go by "Hot Soup". In Enders game, a member of his jeesh, Han Tzu has the nickname Hot Soup, which is where I stole this name. It was a toss up between Han Tzu and Hot Soup, but I decided to be much more soupy and less asian. I love this name, and before you ask, because I know you will, my flavor is Beef Barley.

I've thought about switching to Hot Soup with the advent of SO3, but I am worried it may confuse people.

Oh, and WOO, Sn0w!

I came up with foG, when I thinking about a name for SO and when I walked to school it was quite foggy, and thought why not Fog? I use a capitol G cuz Fog looks boring.

Title: Re: Your handle
Post by: Chaos on April 20, 2010, 01:15:23 PM
Hooooly crap, does my name have history.  Originally, I was trying to come up with an email address (and after using a bunch of pokemon related ones because I was a stupid kid and realized I didn't want to use them anymore once I got older), I made up Magnum Omega, Magnum being from my love of the really powerful bullet, which I first learned about from Resident Evil 1, and Omega, from being the last letter of the Greek alphabet and also the whole "Alpha and the Omega, Beginning and the End" line.  Thought it sounded cool.

Anyway, I eventually I started using Chaos Omega instead of Magnum, partially because my name, Chris, with two letter swaps, changes to Chaos, and I'm fairly unpredictable (another definition of the term Chaos, such as in Chaos Theory), and I tend to think of myself having a light and dark side (mixture of such causing Chaos, *wink wink*).  Also, I stole it from the main character's name of a Ragnarok Online based manga I was reading.   :-\

For a period of time, I also started using Chaos Omega OWA, OWA being short for One Winged Angel, from Sephiroth from Final Fantasy 7.  That's still my name on youtube, actually.

So, I started using Chaos Omega as a kind of first and last name for all my characters at the time, and eventually, as I played SO, I decided to just drop the Omega part, and just be "Chaos" (and changed my in-game account name to such, thank you very much Meiun).  Thus, I've come to been known simply as Chaos.

At one point, I was getting fed up with the number of players on SO with Chaos in their name, and the ensuing confusion when people decided to refer to them as "chaos", so for a short while, I started using the name Setekh, which is essentially the Egyptian god of Chaos.  Pretty self-explanatory there.

So, since then, I still go by Chaos, but I rarely use it in online games anymore simply because it's fairly common to already be used by 12-year old !@#$tards who think "CHAOS SOUNDS COOL LETS USE THAT".  Since then, I started using the name Chronoas, which is pretty much a mutation of the word Chrono(s), meaning time.  Yes, for those of you who saw Chronoas playing on SO after a load of us mods quit, that was indeed me, I just actively denied any accusations since I wanted to play starting fresh.  I haven't played the account in ages, so I might as well spill the beans now.

I've also started using the name Mr. Fedora, because I actively wear a fedora in real life, and it kind of sounds like the name of an alias for a detective or a gentleman superhero. ;)

That's about it.  Also, welcome back, Snow!

Aye, the series is spectacular, I've read both sides of it twice and I can't wait for the last book to come, which is somehow supposed to tie the two together. I've also read every other book by Orson Scott card, aside from the ones named after women, but I will probably get around to those as well.

I mean confuse people because I will have a new name and they won't know who I am.

Enders Game is my favorite book, it won't confuse me. I completely forgot I often I try to go by Ender, the name is usually taken wherever I go. I also occasionally go by SparrowHawk or Ged, the name/true name of the main character in A wizard of Earthsea, another favorite book of mine.

Aye, the series is spectacular, I've read both sides of it twice and I can't wait for the last book to come, which is somehow supposed to tie the two together. I've also read every other book by Orson Scott card, aside from the ones named after women, but I will probably get around to those as well.

I mean confuse people because I will have a new name and they won't know who I am.
I need to read through the series again. I haven't read it in so long. But I also have a number of other looong series to reread such as the Foundation series and Lord of the Rings.

And in an effort to stick to the topic: My user name was a nickname given to me by a friend a long while ago. It has stuck ever since. Most people know what it is based on by now and I'd rather not go into it.

The first online game I played was Midtown Madness.  My name on there was fugitive.  I used to use that for everything, but, if it was unavailable it became evitiguf. 

Online friends called me guf when I used the evitiguf name.  I just added the other letters for SO.. i-guf-ed, because I liked the way it looked/sounded..

Then, of course, that's where I got gufi and eyegoo..

I used to go by Seifer or Seifer_Guy if Seifer was taken on any game/forum I frequented. This is ofcourse after the character Seifer from FF8.

I now go by "Hot Soup". In Enders game, a member of his jeesh, Han Tzu has the nickname Hot Soup, which is where I stole this name. It was a toss up between Han Tzu and Hot Soup, but I decided to be much more soupy and less asian. I love this name, and before you ask, because I know you will, my flavor is Beef Barley.

I've thought about switching to Hot Soup with the advent of SO3, but I am worried it may confuse people.

Does it have to do with your ability as a colonel?

I seem to recall inventing this name for the YoYoGames forums quite a bit ago. I had recently attained a slight inclination to spontaneously use French prefixes in random words, so I decided my username would be Le-something. I thought the simplest something would be a short, monosyllabic phrase stating, quite simply, what I was. And I became LeGuy.

Lol, no, but you have the right idea.

Well, many years ago, I was obsessed with the Flash website Homestar Runner. One of the characters, Strong Bad, had a weekly email dubbed "sbemail", in which he answered emails while making fun of various people. In one of them he was asked to draw a dragon, and Trogdor the Burninator came into being. I thought that was about the most awesome thing I've ever seen in my life, so I made it my username. Here's the original sbemail: http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail58.html (http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail58.html)

Haha! Yes! I used to love that website.

I think of it most days on my drive to work. I don't know if you remember the teen girl squad skit they had, but every so often some random thing would come in and do something to someone. For instance if someone got shot with a bunch of arrows for no reason they'd be all "Arrow'd!!!" I just thought it was hilariously random. So anyways, on my drive to work one of the signs is a bit messed up and there's a stray "D" left over from some past iteration of the sign. They posted the new text right over it so it says "Sacramentod" with a "D" at the end, and I always think someone is getting "Sacrametno'd" and I hear that same voice they did it in. I don't know what would happen to someone if they got Sacramento'd, but it's hilarious to think about.
