Have you ever searched the net on your EN World Handle?

[IamTheTest]

I googled Iamthetest and it asked me if I mean Iamthebest. Is google trying to tell me something? Oh, and apparently there is an Iamthetest on another board that seems slightly less cultured than a piece of drywall...I am not that guy.

 

[AIM-54]

Surprisingly, mine kicks up approximately 6500 hits, which have to do with the F-14 Tomcat and the AIM-54 Phoenix, long range air-to-air missile. Interestingly, there's also a wide variety of languages with stuff on this missile, which was, sadly, retired after 30 years of service last year.

 

[Truth Seeker]

On Yahoo...a minor 2,180 references.

Google: a minor 1,140 with Truth Seeker + EnWorld search.

*whew*

UPDATE: Did search with just Truth Seeker with Yahoo. Hits-1,030,000

 

[Thotas]

Well, since mine is a name I created for a PC of mine, surely I was going to get nothing ... wait! Oh, cripes. Someone wrote a Red Sonja novel ("Star of Doom") that has a sorcerer named Thotas in it. I swear up and down I had no prior knowledge!

Now I must resist the urge to go find said novel (which is in all likelihood quite awful) and read it out of morbid curiosity.

 

[MonsterMash]

I did, and discovered there's a mountain in the Pyrenean by that name.

Then I did a Google Image search and found there's a Japanese artist who goes by the name of Gez Fry.

How many hits does Donut-saucisse get?

 

[MonsterMash]

OD&D(1974) is the only true game...

gives 526 hits. and that ain't even all me.

But aren't they people quoting you?

 

[fusangite]

Yikes. Thanks to Joe Browning's web site, people can read who I actually am in the search results without even clicking on the Expeditious Retreat Press site. I hadn't considered this. It suggests that if people search on my real name, they can find my ENWorld handle...

I'm going to have to revisit the question of what I say on this forum.

 

[Mercule]

Mine turns up "about" 1510 hits. It turns out that Mercule is an actual last name, and a real word in some foreign language (well, near as I can tell, seeing as I can't understand jack on those sites). Interesting, considering that I just threw together some random syllables for a character name.

If I use "Mercule Corin", the character's full name, I get one page of results. All are me. In any event, it doesn't appear anyone else uses my handle. Any gaming-related hits on "Mercule" look to be me. In fact, anything in English that isn't obviously someone's surname appear to be me.

My real name shows up a Colorado football player and some track-and-field hits. Odd, considering that I don't much care for sports.

[Turjan]

Well, not too surprisingly, the search comes up with 889 results, most of which don't have anything to do with me. Aside from the obvious, the Pelgrane game shows up, it's a real name (the first occasion is a woman with back pain ) in several languages (Finnish seems predominant, followed by Hungarian), and it's a city in Bulgaria. At least, I show up first time on page 3 .
