When I first got JK, I used the sn JediTimbob (Jedi... well I'll let you guess where I got that from, and Timbob, which was what my late grandfather used to call me)
Then I joined my first clan, SDA, and the Matrix came out, so I became SDA_JediNeo__.
I left SDA to start my own clan with a few friends, SGC, and I still liked the Matrix, so I became SGC_Morpheus.
After I got a job, and stopped playing JK as much, I went back to JediNeo__, then I changed e-mail addresses, lost my pw, and now I'm back to being plain ol' JediTimbob again. :)

========================
Edit:
Doh! Just realised that my sn is now JediNeo:rolleyes: Must've been the pw for JediTimbob that I lost.

I called myself FastGamer back in 1998-1999, and when I joined this place I decided to add another r.

For my other nick name (Nikumubeki), I had just reformated my computer in 2003 or so, and was reading this (somewhat faulty) japanese-finnish dictionary, then picked up a random name for my another hard drive. Which was 'nikumubeki', supposed to mean 'disgusting'. Oh well.

At the time I signed up for my hotmail address, I was obsessed with StarSiege, cybrids are AI that control mechs in the game. The #s are because plain cybrid was taken. Haven't changed it since.

MOTS Bounty Hunter skin or somethin like that.
Named him Miran Begar
Started to email JK editors using Merran Beggar
Came to massassi as MBeggar. I dunno why, but I did.

now just go by mb in the chat.

That's what MBeggar wants you to believe. Really his name means that he's a beggar on the order of ten to the sixth power.
Code to the left of him, code to the right of him, code in front of him compil'd and thundered. Programm'd at with shot and $SHELL. Boldly he typed and well. Into the jaws of C. Into the mouth of PERL. Debug'd the 0x258.

I had "The Jedi Knight Who Says Ni" as my MSN screen name for ages and shortened it for AIM... i guess it stuck. Obviously it's a combonation of two of my favourite films.

hm.... just like Kirby I look az the forums before I sign up and when I sign up I needed a new name (my old are KräuterKlaus and TheManWithoutFear aka TMWF) so I decided to G-Man, cause everybody says that I know everything, just like the G-Man and sometimes I'm evil like the G-Man:o .

sugarless is because I'm diabetic. I used that for my aol sn a long time ago and it died just shortly after I registered here

It was just plain sugarless, but then I didn't come here for like 6 months and by then I had forgotten my password and my e-mail address had died with my sn so I just registered again and tacked a 5 on (because 2005 is my graduation year. I would have put 05...but I didn't)

Back in 1998-1999, I was just jumping on the Internet, and I had to have a cool Internet name! At first I went with [har (like Char, it sounded like a good tough name for Quake 2 games), but changed it for some reason or another soon after. Much like CoolMatty, I wanted something original (not SuperSayianSithLord89374) and I had a thing with using letters that looked like numbers. I came up with the following:

G=6
E=3 (backwards)
B=13
o=o
h=4 (upside down)
q = 9

The numbers, while I like them, don't mean much; I chose them and their order purely for aesthetic reasons. Been using it ever since, since I'm quite confident that no one else will use the name. Until I become an Internet superstar of course ;)

Also use the name FlawlessSoul (Or just Flawless), taken from AFI's Total Immortal. Somehow got flawlesssoul at hotmail, and the .com domain too.

My uncle was making fun of me and making a Star Trek reference. Thus Clueless of Morg was born. Then I lost my password and my email died, so I added the underscores. I use Clueless of Morg for most things on the internet because it is never taken. Ever.

Lord Kuat, head of Kuat Drive Yards, the friendly Star Destroyer people. Nothing more, nothing less. And not that crazy arse Kuat from that Fett sidestory. It's more or less the title that I like, not the characters who have it. Anyone who controls a company that produces huge, world-destroying, planet-glassing, frigate-crushing ships of such a high degree of badassery that the mere mention of one of them makes enemies quiver with fear, has some definite power behind them.

It was either Lord Kuat, or Eats_Only_Heads. An awesome Cybrid character in StarSeige. Stupid tribes does not do justice to that universe!

After a few poor choices of Zone Names, I ended up as jkc_BaCkSLASH then EPJ_BaCkSLASH, because alternating caps was cool.

Ehh, I picked the name mainly because in JK I would normally end up behind someone and killing them in the back (Hooray for 28.8k). Since I was a NFS guy, Backslash seemed like a decent pick of a name.

It stuck through into my late days of JK, and my early days of Counter Strike. Was changed later to AOJ_Syphorium (JK) and Syph for CS.

I kept it as my Massassi account, plus as my TDIR account. Just because I love you all.

Edit: I didn't mention this, but Adam (Madaventor) came up with Syphorium one night as we were brainstorming a new name to call my (at the time) new PC. I still use Syphorium online today as my own little tribute to a great person who the community still misses.

Yay! Another StarSeige fan! And I couldn't agree more with that last sentence.

Well, I was Zechs Merquise once upon a time ago which is the name of a character from Gundam Wing. After my love for the show died, I decided to change it, but nothing drastic. Thus, you have Zecks. I have also been SekZ in the chat which is all thanks to oSiRiS.
2005-01-25, 4:16 PM #65
I needed a name.
I can't think of anything to put here right now.
2005-01-25, 4:28 PM #66
I'm the King of Squirrels man!
And freind and I were thinking of funny/weird types of names for online and she came up with this. I thought up of a good one too, Demonic Butterfly, but this one has 'king' in it so it makes me sound more more powerful...mwhaha

I wanted to be batman but that was taken.
2005-01-25, 5:17 PM #68
Symbolic reasoning and also because I like the character in FFVII.
2005-01-25, 5:56 PM #69
It's shortened from my royal name - Count Baron von Chuckleworth III

Or maybe it was taken from a GI Joe character. He wasn't like the other characters - he wore a hawaiian shirt and was an undercover specialist.

And also, I needed a more family oriented name when I joined up, since the name I was currently using was geeugotnicet***

My name comes from the Black Sun Crime leader in Star Wars that was later killed. He was a cool lookin freek creature called a faleen. I always liked him....

Ooooh then I made up another story a while later about the name.

Merran Beggar was a resident of Beggars Canyon on Tatooine.

Never really decided if it was his canyon or he just happened to have that name.

HCF is the clan name: Hijerian Combat Forces (not sure if it is spelled right).

I chose Duke because when I was younger, I liked to play Duke 3d a lot and the name stuck with me.

Thought I'd already commented in this... Hrm.

My forum name was Homicide, but due to overdoing it with pictures in a thread (don't even remember which one) I was banned. So I decided, "hey, that was dumb" and sat aroudn reading the forums for a couple months and sorta shaped how I act to not be so... dumb. But my original name was Homicide, as is my IRC name, and edicimoh is just BACKWARDS. stole the idea from sdrawkcab on the TDiR forums. So sue me for being unoriginal.

As for where I picked up Homicide, I was having fun getting banned and making new accounts at another forum and I ended up with "Slightly Homicidal" at one point and I decided "That sucks." So I changed it to just Homicidal (which is when I entered into #massassi on IRC. After about 2 months, I wanted a noun instead of an adverb and changed it to Homicide.

AND NOW YOU KNOW.

"Darth Slaw" was a name my dad used once to test if JK was installed correctly. It seemed appropriate for a Starwars forum, and this is why I didn't use some variation/implementation of Mr Osh, which was my other consideration (Mr Osh was my uncle's cat years ago).

Mr Osh was later incorporated into my AIM screename -- when I d/led AIM last november, I thought up Darth Osh, appended my birthyear, and there you go: DarthOsh87
