Hello Everyone,

 

 I don't know if this subject has ever been posted here but I thought I would give it a shot. Have you ever wondered what the meaning or reason behind a particular players screen name was? Some of the names make sense if you know the person but others are so outrageous you have to ask why. I thought I would go ahead and start with my screen name "SgtSmellyFinger" You're probably thinking.....oh, this guy has a hygeine problem or he puts his finger somewhere he shouldn't...LOL !! Actually, none of that is true. I picked the name because I thought it would be funny and outrageous and it would have people guessing. I have a sick sense of humor and I enjoy making people laugh. I can't help but laugh at people who easily get offended by things like this. Just my sick sense of humor !! LOL !! I guess I am truly an Idiot ! Many, many years ago I had a co-worker who was always uptight. Just to annoy her I would always go up to her a sniff my fingers. LOL !! That always made my day !! Anyway......anyone who would like to share their story I would enjoy reading about it.

My game name originated back in the Delta Force online gaming days 8-10 years ago.  My Delta Force handle was SteakKnife (I used a knife in CQB a lot).  People would refer to me as "Steak" when typing messages back & forth so after a couple of years I shortened it to simply Steak. It obviously had nothing at all to do with meat originally!!

Starting way back as a mage in RS lol ..

So I opened a my english reference books, looked for something similar to magical/mystic .. and came up with "ARCANE" - a secret or mysterious knowledge!

So then I thought long and hard then finally picked the appendage "-age."

Voila :) ~!!Arcanage !!~

Hehe many people say it wrong ... no it's not arcangel or acarnage ... ARCANAGE XD

-Pronounced "Are-cane-ehj" or "Are-ka-nehj" =]

Im gonna sound crazy, but coming from a pagan background, Gaberial wasnt just the Christian bible but also a one of the original Deeming entities (Gods, If you will) and a young (-er, compared to all you old farts...lol) druid in my grove, I had seen an Renovar, or emmisary/Mercenary/Deciple whatever you want to call on my spirit walk, so my name is in respect and praise of the Angelic Entity of the Mercenary, Gabrial.

15 years ago while in college I worked at a retail store and we had hats with a "G" on them. At  this time I had just moved to Dallas and didn't know many people. I was at a party one night after work with some new friends that I had met at school. Some guy asked what the "G" stood for. A guy I didn't know at the time shouted out Gorilla. Turns out that name stuck ever since then. The stranger who said Gorilla turned out to be one of my best friends. My friends in Dallas still call me that or "G" when we speak.

My game name CAPER comes from ( Cape Breton Island ) CANADA

My wife and son were born there and I was born not to far from there. The name Caper just seemed to be the name for me.

Many years later it still remains.

Most everyone who has ever asked about my name during a game asks me questions like... Are you Dave Grohl? ,  or they just say how much they think Foo Fighters suck,  but my name has nothing to do with the band The Foo Fighters even though I like that band very much.  I picked the name back when I was playing Battlefield 1942 and I got pretty damn good flying those planes and shooting people down... so I came picked Foo Fighter for a name,  which is an actual term used by WW II pilots when they would chase down UFO's while flying their missions.  You can read about the "real" foo fighters here :

Rock on.... ;)

Well...mine is a wierd beginning... Ever so long ago... in the '80's Dungeon and Dragons was the "In Game" and people picked interesting names for themselves.  I was named "Shadow Chaser"

 

Time went on, and I got older (don't we all) and I started playing SOF2 online, and needed a name...so I decided I'm too old to be "Shadow Chaser"...she was a teenager for goodness sakes.... so I grew up into "Shadow Lady".

 

Little did I know that there is actually a cartoon character of the same name....she has a penchant for stealing pretty jewels and other shiny trinkets.  She also is sexy in her dark ways...so I've adopted her image for my avatars/sigs.

Those who can't deduce where I got my name are either a fantastic candidate for the position of XI mascot or haven't frequented the Freezetag 1 server during the early morning EST hours. Laughing

Sun Tzu , fl. c.500-320. BC, name used by the unknown Chinese authors of the sophisticated treatise on philosophy, logistics, espionage , and strategy and tactics known as The Art of War. It includes many commentaries by later Chinese philosophers. The core text was probably written by one person during a time of expanding feudal conflicts, but the exact century is uncertain. Most authorities now support a date early in the Warring States period (c.453-221 BC). This work has deeply influenced Chinese, Vietnamese, and Japanese military thinking and has enjoyed growing popularity among businessmen. It stresses the unpredictability of battle, the importance of deception and surprise, the close relationship between politics and military policy, and the high costs of war. The futility of seeking hard and fast rules and the subtle paradoxes of success are major themes. The best battle,

I am a Monty Python fan and have seen the Holy Grail many times.  the only thing that I can really pin my name to is the French Castle scene where the French guard calls Arthur and his knights a bunch of English Pigdogs......I was looking for something different and this kind of stuck.  I have used it since I started playing FPS games on Unreal tournament, so that was probably over 20 years ago, I guess.  I get called Piggy alot too.

I dont relly have a story behind mine, just kinda copied from Scott Dixion and Kimi Raikkonen, and I am very good on the ice rallys in WRC 4. Added NZ at the end just 2 make it slightly different from the other Icemans.

 

The only other nickname i've had was from when I was in a stock car team, and on coffie duty. Puddles as I kept spilling the darn cups lol

I didnt start out as Rage. Back in my R6 days i ran Dialup for a long time and lagged so bad i was nearly inpossible to kill so my original name "Bulletproof" came from that.. After my switch to cable and during my RvS clan days I was a streaky player, awesome some days crappy on others. On my "ON" days the clan (who i also played eq with) would say "hes going into dragon rage" so i changed my name and used that till CoD when i started playing on Xi servers i saw a Dragonslayer amongst other dragon type names so i just shortened it to rage.
