Yodasplat Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 For my name(s) it's all explained here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruin Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 Ok, ok. That is the LAMEST joke ever to be conceived by human mind. So what? If you are still reading this crap instead of doing something semi-productive with your life it's not my fault ROFLMFAO!! ! That's hysterical! As for mine... Uhhh... I wont go into details. But anyway, I just kinda thought mine up. I used to go by names like: DieHard008, Eminemzy33, DJ_Blizzard, Dark_Sniper_88, and Road_Rash_88. However, none of these names were very 'flashy', 'cool' or 'unique' So I basically thought "What's the coolest name I can think of, that everyone will remember?" My list: Ruin, Myth, and.. okay, so that's all I can think of now. But I recently added a new one Voltaire. Yes, the famous enlightened guy who will soon be placed at the bottom of my sig. But no details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raptor9 Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 (edited) I had a list of names I thought up. Most of them were animals or monsters, Shark, Werewolf, Tiger, Lion, etc. I finally settled for Raptor. When I first signed up for the ghostrecon.net forums Raptor was already taken, so I added 9 to it. And here I am Edited January 10, 2003 by Raptor9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightCrawler Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 Mine started out as the title to a Judas Priest song, where this evil NightCrawler thing comes from out of hell and goes on a killing spree. But as time progressed some people kept referring to the Marvel Super-Hero NightCrawler, so I ran with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scout Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 Real short and simple, it's the position I play best in airsoft and GR. I'm always at the front scoping out the area for opposition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Ranger Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 (edited) How I got my name...? Nobody here is cleared for that information. What the...um...uhhhh...were all friends hear right? Ok whatever you want man. My name? well, I'm a die-hard Star Wars fan, so I was originally going to do "Yoda", but since my objective is to become a Ranger, I was playing around with that name...but I've been told I can be very "dark" and well "Characterized by or expressive of a foreboding somberness." I also have the worst gutter mind in my portion of the land. So I though "Dark Ranger" was fitting... Edit: Hey Shadow2k1, post your story too...

Sart Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 Pff god knows how I came up with this, probly due to my crap typing/spelling. Ive been asked alot though, and the responce is always a short but sweet "I dunno". Seems everyone always spells it "Sartilles" without the other i. Funny really, ive seen it spelled like that in a bunch of threads. Cant blame em though, if I dont even know how I got it, im shure not going to blame anyone for spelling it wrong.

XRW_Hotdog Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 my real online name is htdgflvrdwtr. had to shorten it to hotdog for GR anyway it started while playing an online racing game a few years ago. i was first going by Devilman13 but really that was unoriginal. at the time i was listening to Limp Bizkit 24/7 so i started messing around with ways to use the album title as a name and came up with htdgflvrdtwr. the name stuck and i still use it in any game that will allow that many letters with a team jacket.

Major Maximum Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 well well well, how did "Major Maximum" come into play? in the comic book/game Danger Girl the arch-enemy has this pet project/ head goon named "Major Maxim" and he looked so. frikkin. cool. after a while, i eventually started playing online games.(i think the very first one must've been Starcraft....) and i thought"hmmm..." and even though it is a misspelling, it looks better!

shadow2k1 Posted January 11, 2003 Author Share Posted January 11, 2003 heh im the thread starter and i forgot to post my story hehe for me, i played alot of paintball and i used to hide in the shadows of the trees and foilage and move from shadow to shadow shooting the other players so the other players named me "the shadow" but it looked to plain and there were so many other shadows out there so i first added a 1 to make it shadow1, and remained shadow1 until the year 2001 when alot of personal events happened in my life which now leaves me with shadow2k1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CtheHammer Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 I first came upon my name in world history class two years ago when we discussed Charles Martel and his stopping the muslims from moving into Europe. At the battle of tours he got his "martel" or Charles the Hammer. My first name is Charles and my style of playing is not real subtle, its to just "hammer" my enemies in games until they're finished off, so I figured it would be appropriate.
