I was just talking to Laura about what my Massassi screen name meant. Arianrhod is a Welsh goddess that rules over mothers, reincarnation, and the stars that happens to be worshipped on my Birthday. So, why did everyone choose their screen name as they did?

I can't explain the Timewolf part, but OfThePast was added when I was banned in 1999 and made a name in 2000 because I lost my e-mail and original forum account password.

I like the story behind your sn

Well the story behind my screen name is quiet simple.

Boricua or Boriqua comes from the word Boriquen. Which is how the natives (Taino Indians) used to refer to the island of Puerto Rico as. Obviously Puerto Rico has a culturally rich background of Spanish blood (from Spain), African blood (slaves brought to the island) and Taino indians (the original natives on the island).

Now a days people who are Puerto Rican also refer to themselves as "Boriqua" Or "Boricua" so basically it just means "one who descends from Puerto Rico"

Obviously i was born in the states and have been raised in FL almost my whole life. (since the age of 5). I love America and would never live anywhere else, but of course I dont deny my heritage. Both my parents were born and raised there as my grandparents and the rest of my family.

So to summarize my screenname means Puerto Rican Delight. And I meant delight as in "someone who's fun to be around"

Edit: Puerto Rico is also referred to as "La Isla del Encanto, which means The Island of Enchantment"

I scrolled around massassi for a couple years before signing up. When deciding what to choose, I remembered the phrase "Haha, I'm a Jedi Kirby!" when playing Super Smash Brothers. I really thought the Jedi part went well with the site, and the kirby part... well, kirby owns you.

The caps were at first a typo, but after I had made the error, I decided to keep it, and hit submit anyway. I've had the oppertunity to change it to JediKirby, but I don't. So hah.

JediKirby

Ric Olie was the phattest pilot in the galaxy.

I was very disillusioned by Ep1. But the name is still kind of cool.

Compos Mentis is latin. Basically, it means "Sane" or "Of Sound Mind". My business partner and I started a promotional company/booking agency for local musicians about 2 years ago. We chose this name because "Of Sound Mind" kind of held a double meaning when taken in context with what our companies goals were.

Mostly, I go my Mentis though. Well, now I go by Switch/SwitchedOn/Red-I depending on what I'm doing. Switch is my "Musical Alias", Switched On and Red-I are my multimedia & graphic design names respectively.

well, I was mavispoo which...I really don't know. Sprung up somehow out of my hatred of being called Mavis combined with my adoration of the word poo. After we moved to the new forums and I realised that this was the only place I wasn't using maevie, I asked to have it changed. maevie of course just being the cute/girly version of my real name.

And we all know how evil and maniacle you really are.

An old JK friend was founding clan named PC (you can still find a tutorial on animated mats by him on this site, PC_McCloud). I didn't have a clan and didn't want one, but he asked if I would join temporarily to help gain new members. I made the screen name PC_Masquerade since that's all it was... temporarily wearing his clan costume. I ended up staying with the clan under that name until it fell apart, posting here under the name PC_Masquerade for a while on the old old boards and even submitting one (aweful) level under the name.

That old name was a mouthful and all the JK players on the zone called me this anyway (or something worse, it was the zone) so it stuck.

It's not an exciting story but you may have been surprised to find it has nothing at all to do with vampires.

Guess.

Originally I was "Gandalf1120" Gandalf being my favorite character in the Lord of the Rings trilogy (before movies). I had found out that it was taken here. So I taked on MMDD of my birthday. I used that until the new system came and it became a helluva lot easier to change usernames. "JediGandalf" is a representation of my favorite trilogies. Also I quite literally pulled this name out quickly. It's also my IRC nick (it was used there first)

AND THUS I CAME INTO BEING

i was settling in for a nice sunday afternoon of tv and snoozing when i heard a knock at my door.
i ignored it at first but they knocked again. i was going to ignore it again but i felt this overwhelming urge to answer it this time.
when i looked through the peephole i saw this.

i thought they were jehovas witnesses and i was going to tell them to go away. but i couldn't help but open the door. i invited my guests in and they sat on the couch and started to speak.
as they spoke at length, i put some coffee on and put some croisants in the oven.
a few hours and a couple of pots of coffee later, they knew the location of the secret rebel hideout and together we had revised our plans for galactic domination. i was now a part of their club.

I was nicknamed after a European comic character named Tin Tin.

When I was thinking of my first AIM screenname, I remembered Jedi Knight, the game that I was obsessing over about 7 yrs. ago. That's it:

J edi KNI gh TE188

I just added the "188" because I liked the number and also two cool SW characters had 88 in their name: IG-88 and 8t-88.

You are the greatest thing that's ever happened to me. I'm seriously saving that post. Simply Fantastic.

I was once TDF_Elyas, a character from Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time who is a Wolfbrother. So, to antagonize me, one of my Zone friends would always call me "Wolfy."

It kind of stuck.

Well, as I was doing my spanish homework in 9th grade, I needed a bunch of names. I used Rob and Robert, and then put down Bob. Well, I figured I would continue the pattern and made Bobbert (I figured it looked better with three B's). I told the name to a friend of mine, Charoziac, and he tacked on the 00# and we signed up all of our friends. We were sort of a clan back in the hayday of JK.

I joined an XWA clan that mostly flew Imperial fighters, so I went with Avenger, tken from the Imperial squadron from XvT. Supposedly they are the Imperial equivalent to Rogue Squadron. It's stuck for just about everything since.

Back when I was first getting into Jedi Knight multiplayer (6/7 years ago, I guess), my brother was playing under the screenname Wampa, which I thought was a pretty cool idea. So I ran through a list of all the Star Wars creatures I knew, and I liked the sound of Vornskr the best, so I picked it.

Vornskrs (for those who don't know) are wolf-like creatures that live on the planet Myrkr and hunt using the force. They were created by Timothy Zahn in Heir to the Empire.

I also did some research into the meaning of the word, and apparently it's derived from Old Icelandic vornuðr, to guard; and -skr, which is like our suffix -er. So it probably means something like 'guard' or 'defender'.

Occasionally I also use the screen name Ausserwem, which is vaguely German but doesn't really make sense.

Well, mine started way back when I first joined AO-Hell. I wanted something original (Aka no numbers), and I was in that "everything I like is cool". Well, I liked myself, so Cool Matt was born. Realizing that the name had no pizazz to it whatsoever, I tacked a Y on the end, and got Cool Matty. I now use it everywhere on the net, cept in games, where I use Pirogoeth, for my favorite webmanga, Megatokyo.

(Actually there is more to this, a lot more, so much so that some of it is based in lies. But a couple massassians here understand why, and I won't be telling you all, at least not yet :p)

Well, first off I'll say that what many people think, is not true. I didn't choose my name based on the main character in Jedi Knight, and I wasn't born in 1990.

In fact, my real name is Kyle. The 90 part comes from when I was choosing a hotmail address, and it wouldn't let me have "piman", so I had to go with "piman90". So I kept the 90 for continuity.

Well, I like the game Rogue Squadron, the rest just fell into place.

Back in the day, my zone name was "SithGhost", but when I wanted to register a new name for a clan I was joining, I abbreviated it to SG and added a one for some stupid reason. The 129 is simply a random number. I registered this name back in 2001 and wish I would have just stuck to "SithGhost." Now I feel as if I'm stuck with it, heh.

Whenever I register on non-SW message boards I use either Oceanus or Rensfeld. I think I grabbed Oceanus from somewhere in Greek Mythology. Rensfeld, however, was a follower of Dracula in the book "Dracula." No, I'm not a satan worshipper, but I enjoyed the book and names like "Dr. Jack Seward" and "Jonathan Harker" didn't seem to have the same ring to it.

The E,c,h part of my name is actually my initials of my real name. I added -oman because it sounds so sexy .

CM is *snipe*

Clan I made when JK first came out

SAJN - Sith And Jedi Nation

I played the game tie fighter a lot.

Since the designation Alpha1 is given to the player on the majority of missions, I made it my level comment screen name.

When I joined the forums, I used the same screen name.

In the case of the Subterrainian Mining Colonies of leper rhinoceroses, the Parliment of Monkeys determined that the Gross Domestic Product of Hypojerminitus of Sweaton was abnormal by 69.67 percent. The Parliment of Monkeys on Ardolif Prime rectified the situation by purchasing 6 billion kilos of digestable hippopotamus sweat, thus bringing the theory of Mass Spectoral Anonymity into balance.

However, at this same instance, the Dark Evil Lord Zetrepo was gazing into his Dark Evil Seeing Stone of Dispair and looked unto a rather uninsane person by the calling of Ian. And he said unto him, "I shall call thee Bubbles the Hexling." And to this Ian retorted, "You are a rather bizarre being, whereas I am a saneling. I think you can shove that name elsewhere." This did not please the Dark Evil Lord Zetrepo at all. So he called upon the Congress of Gorillas to devise a solution.

After the Congress of Gorillas debated the shipping and handling price for 6 billion kilos of digestable hippopotamus sweat, and the feasbility of using cheddar cheese bricks as payment, all in relation to a new name, they decided upon "Phoenix". Upon telling the Dark Evil Lord Zetrepo this, he scoffed and said, "Send that name to the heathen saneling and be gone from my sight." The Congress of Gorillas did so, and the saneling formally known as Ian accepted the name. This took the Dark Evil Lord Zetrepo completely by surprise and caused him to drool heavily all over himself. Once the leper rhinoceroses cleaned up the mess, he exclaimed, "By Neptune's holy gas! The multiverse in my mind has ended!"

And all was once again, well.

My name comes from Frank Herbert's Dune series. Mentat's are basically a race of human computers. The MM part of my name is my initials.

Grasping for a name for some demo long ago, I chose the name of the band on the radio, StaticX. I used that for Massassi, until #massassi came around. I would shorten it to stat`[whatever] when away. Eventually, stat just stuck. Otherwise, I go by caesar, which is what my friend decided to call me one day.

Can I call you "Mr. Dog"?

thanks jedikirby.

Zone screen name generator. And then I stamped an X on the end because, you know, it's cool. And stuff.

Well, way back in the day (WAAAAYYYY back), I had this e-mail pen pal, and what we wrote to each other was in the for of a role playing game type thing, where we were military leaders in this big space war, bsed off LEGO models. Eventually, Star Wars got incorporated too. My character was simply 'General Alexen Ramos' (I through the 'n' in my name just to give it a different feel, so it wasn't just soem normal erth name). When I discovered JK, I started reworking some of these old ideas into storylines for JK levels, and then eventually really refined it and turned it into a big time line and designed a whole universe for it. Then I started work on a big TC which got put on hold as I got into some other stuff. Now, General Ramos is simply a side character in a novel I've been working on based on all of the above. It's a summer project.

I chose mine because Sock Monkeys doth rock your world.

Yeah... So, I spelt Ghostal wrong... Well, I like Ghostle more anyway!

Chaz comes from my first name, Charles. It also kind of fits with Space Ghost's, and his brother's, names. Tad, Chad, and Chaz.

My real name's Alex, I bet you can guess the rest.

FOLEY!

Mine is rather dull. Real name: Michael, was trying to think of a good name for an RPG, I think Lufia or Lufia 2, and I wanted something that was:
A) Like my name
B) Medieval sounding
C) 5 Letters or less

And so Mikus was born.
