      I chose Velda because I liked the name, even though the character definately isn't a favourite here (I'm not keen on her myself).  But although I'm called Velda, I'm probably more like Arwen in LOTR.

        Oops. I really should stop sniping about the overacting, strange wig and the oh so unrealistic crossbow firing, shouldn't I?

          Lol, you're right though!  I don't like the way she runs in bellowing at the top of her voice and that strange crouching thing she does, waving the dagger about.

            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.

                              Flatterer!

                              KaM never struck me as impersonal - if anything it's more personal than using a pseudonym because they are your own initials.

                                Not a problem. I'll expect you to be a little more relaxed from now on, that's all

                                  Yesterday (12/11/03) was a terrible day for me...

                                  My girlfriend had a right go at me because I had a go at her... I should learn to respect her from now on! Too late for me now she dumped me... FOR THE NINTH TIME...

                                  Perhaps she has had enough of my jokes and my mouth...

                                  And yet I cycle seven miles to see her and she doesn't think I care... TYPICAL!

                                  That's why I've been moody for the last couple of days...

                                    Oh poor Motley... Never mind - if that's how she thinks then she probably wasn't worth it. If she has a go at you again even if you aren't going out tell her she wasn't worth it - that'll be a kick in the teeth for her.

                                      nine times! I'd start looking elsewhere for somebody better. Does she usually keep crawling back crying and begging? If so I'd say forget it the next time she tries to before it becomes number 10. Anyways on the subject of autism, you don't seem to be autistic. You don't seem any different to most of the people on this forum (exept the strange ones).

                                          I don't think I even need to ask if I'm among the strange ones. Teehee.
