2007 Judge Selection

[mcrow]

Mine is pretty simple, its my first initial followed by my surename.

fusangite and I had a mix up a while back.

I thought his username was Fungasite and he thought mine was McCrow.

I didn't mean to say he is Fungus.

 

[C.W.Richeson]

I'm also a "use my own name" poster! It's just convenient for me.

I actually always thought your username was Mr Cow.

While we're on the subject of real names and usernames - and to add some substance to this post - any other judges care to share how they got their online nicknames? I've only got the one (Tetsuki), which I got from playing old Japanese console RPGs. I wanted a name that sounded reasonably authentic for the main character (somehow, "Doug" didn't really cut it) and that particular one stuck in my head.

I was playing on a private Ultima Online shard in 1999 (World of Dreams) and I was tapped to be come a Seer (UO-speak for guy who creates quests). It was policy for staff members to take new names so they wouldn't be associated with their PC (we didn't want people messaging the staff, particularly when they weren't in their staff role). I was a Junior theatre arts major at the time, and had either Endgame or Waiting for Godot (or both) sitting nearby. Having a great interest in the Absurdists, I grabbed Beckett from the writer of those two plays, Samuel Beckett.

After all this time, it's comfortable.

EDIT: Didn't notice Mr. Cow already told my annecdote.

 

[Treebore]

My screen name is easy, is my first name spelled backwards with 2 extra e's thrown in.

Robert=Trebor=Treebore

Plus it is the name I gave to my very first RPG character, who went on to become the founding member of the Ruby Lords. Hence my special title here on ENWorld. Treebore, The Ruby Lord.

 

[Dextra]

By the way, as of this evening, over 700 votes were cast- more than we've ever had in the past!

 

[Queen_Dopplepopolis]

My user name is taken from one of my favorite television shows: Sealab 2021. And it's very fun to say... just ask P-Cat.
