Usernames?

When I stumbled across www.knightmare.clara.net in late October 2001, a few weeks into my first year at university, after looking at the series guides and watching the clips (which was absolutely epochal - I hadn't seen some of them for 14 years!) I made my way to the forum. I saw that many people had interesting pseudonyms and decided that if I was going to impose myself I'd better choose one myself. Unfortunately, I was stuck for ideas. Then, I noticed that a couple of months earlier, someone called Malifact had made a post (their sole post, I think). So, I decided to call myself Malefact. Stunning originality, eh? Now you know.
Were I to change my nickname, I think it would be to Q because he's one of my favourite characters from Star Trek. Alternatively, Arx or Pondermatic. Any of those. I don't think I will, though, because people seem to have got used to my current name. Changing it may cause confusion. Also, malefact is my BT Openworld username and I can't be bothered to fiddle about with changing it.

My username's more straightforward than it looks. Spell it backwards!
I first used it when entering captions for the competitions on the fantastic Interactive Knightmare website. -
I'd become bored with using my own name or random things, so decided to steal a character name. I didn't especially want to go for something really obvious, so I took those two and threw them together. I liked the nice alliteration, really. The whole roleplay bit came a bit later.
My username is actually Grimaldine, but since the forum allows a name of more than one word, I changed it the day I registered to what it is now. I'm pretty sure I set my sig. pretty soon after too, and haven't changed it since. Oh, in that case, the roleplay must have been there from the start.

I chose Velda because I liked the name, even though the character definately isn't a favourite here
Oops. I really should stop sniping about the overacting, strange wig and the oh so unrealistic crossbow firing, shouldn't I?

When I first posted on the old Knightmare forum (February 2001 - incredible how time flies!) I posted as LORD FEAR. Then a million Lord Fears started posting on the forum all at once, and to avoid confusion, I started posting under my own name, James Aukett. More recently, in revitalising my interest for this forum and the recently re-released Fighting Fantasy gamebook series (like the Knightmare gamebooks but longer) I decided to choose a pseudonym (like most people here) and opted for Zagor, the main bad guy in the first ever Fighting Fantasy gamebook (or if you prefer, The Warlock of Firetop Mountain).
And there you have it

Back in the days of the old Bravenet Forum I used to wander about the place as 'Audio_tracker'. I still have the hotmail address in that name.
It came from playing Lazer Quest and paintball games because I'm notorious for using my ears to find people more than my eyes! (If you've ever played Lazer Quest or Megazone When there's a pack of screaming kids in the arena, I'm sure you'd get the idea...).
Unfortunately, when I started training as an audio engineer, a lot of companies that I pitch to for work think it is some kind of E-Mail scam. Or worse, some kind of wannabes agency.
These days I go by 'Snowcat'. I've always had a thing about white Tigers and part-timed at a safari park for a while so the name stuck.
The sig? Well, most here have something fairly daft and funny on the go and I'm sure that I remember hearing something akin to "time turns when the fire burns". It's probably a mis-quote but I don't care...
-
I shall mention it here, just to be on the safe side...
Although the name 'goodknight' was alright, I was surprised nobody had chosen this name (at least, I hope they haven't picked a variation on this name. If they have, I'll change it back). It sounds better and is of course more KM related.

Motley. I know only too well you are autistic - you have already let us know so that we don't cause you offence. You said you are 'crazy', 'nutty' etc. I quoted something I saw in an email once (something to do with housemates - never trust a housemate that claims to be mad/crazy/nuts or something to that effect). I suggest you cool off and just for the record, a good friend of mine is also autistic - Asperger's Autism to be exact. Any attempt I make at offending you would also be offending him. I doubt VERY much I would choose to offend my friends.
Think about it. We aren't all out to patronise and offend and make others feel stupid. I'm sure there are a great many members of the board out there with similar things that don't take offence to harmless quotes.

Problems resolved? Good!
Okay, well - for me, I think - it was just trying to fit into a slight Hordriss mould, but without specifying too distinctly. Coincidentally, this was a blessing, since with our grand squire Malefact, and also the temporarily Asian residing Hordriss, this meant no near clashes - we're all our own people. Yep, Hordriss was a favourite, no doubt about that. Yet, since I've been more a part of the community this past half year or so, I've just become accustomed to using my initials in that layout as they are - not as such to be called by - that, by friends, might be a little strangely impersonal, but just as a general sig. So now, I'm torn between the two. Might revert to the initials alone, though, before long.
