2007 Judge Selection

Your first name is on the ballot too. It threw me off for a bit.

I am Chris Gath.

The ballots actually randomize the candidates for each new IP.

Or, at least, I think they do because Gertie was close to the bottom of my ballot.

Okay, here's a question.

What's your name?

Stuart Parker. The judge bios page also matches handles to names.

 

[Dextra]

Okay, here's a question.

What's your name?

There are many interesting people on this board I only know by username, and the voting is done by real name. To correlate the two, I'd really like a list of everyone's username and real name, or have usernames (multiple, if needed) listed next to each voting choice. If that's already been done somewhere, I missed it.

BTW in order to reduce the popularity contest factor, I decided not to include candidate screen names on the ballot. It's my effort to get people to actually read the nominee bios and force them. Plus, the names can get really long, and have multiple screen names.

What I meant was they have her as Kathryn first. I was scanning for Gertie among the first names and it of course wasn't there

That's how I screen for telemarketers and spam. Noone but my credit card company and insurance actually calls me Kathryn.

 

[Doug Ruff]

and I'm Doug Ruff, although I'm sure you guessed that already

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.

Typically, the one time I rolled up a monk in our homebrew campaign, I gave him that name and he got eaten by a dragon in the very next session. (Moral of that story: even PCs ought to run away sometimes.)

Nowadays I tend to post using my real name, so people can tell who I am - it's an old policy from the Forge, and I kind of like it. It also makes me think very carefully before I post, which can't be a bad thing!

Regards,

Doug

I wanted to create a name that meant something along the lines of 'falling from heaven'. And I came up with an angel made of adamantine, which I felt if said angel were to fall, it would hit with a vengeance (due to the weight ). So, a pun in my head combined into an alliterative name.
