'Origin' of Your User Name

[KnowTheToe]

Well my original handle was CamelToe. That came from the ramblings of a DJ named Johnathon Brandmeyer (SP?). He was always bringing up CamelToe, Mooseknuckle etc (you know wedgy's in the front.) Then one day he brought up a website http://www.Cameltoe.org. About that same time I found out about Erics site and became a Lurker. Why does that sound so dirty?

Well after a few hundred posts, people thought my name was offensive, So I changed it, after all it was just for fun. Now I am KnowTheToe, which is the catchphase of the above website. I even bought a T-shirt which I only wear to Cons and Chicago game day.

 

[Kershek]

Well, I used to be Pathetic Nerd, but then I decided that I wasn't so pathetic anymore.

Right after I killed 12 characters in 25 pages of RttToEE.

And 12 of those pages were exposition and the town of Homlet.

Some would argue that the above description would qualify for Pathetic Nerd status.

 

[Piratecat]

I have 1.75 cats. The .75 of a cat is often referred to as Tripod or by his Indian name, "Dances with Chevys." The lack of a leg spawned the inevitable comparison to a pirate.

Now, picture him with a hook and an eyepatch, and you're good to go!

 

[Dark Dragon]

see agbak, clay varies, and while you seem to think you have enuf information to criticize what i have written you might have revealed, with a modicum of research, that while these variances can carreen all around the geochemical map (Kaolinite (Al2Si2O5(OH)4) to Montmorillonite (Na0.33Al1.67Mg0.33Si4O10OH2H2O) ) almost every geochemist and every potter i have ever met use the simplified alsih2o rather than go into a lengthy description of a material that will surely vary if you get a sample 6 inches over from the first sample. (being as the wife is a geologist and i am a potter i have spoken with a few people on this)

Ahh, good to see some people with a link to geology AND rpg
I agree, clay is a really complex stuff (just found the formula of nontronite: oh man...). I'm glad to do my work on volcanic rocks.
It is a bit sad when the party crawls in a dungeon and no one knows what colour the rock has (except the standard GREY), or how hard it is and so on...

DM: You enter the circular room. In its center stands an altar made of purple basalt...
Me: Huh?! Hmm, I should disbelieve...

Heck, I've been assimilated by my job. Noooo!

 

[Jovah]

Jovah is a gnomish cleric of Luck I have been playing (on and off) for about 10 years. (see the sig)
Originally I randomly denerated his name with dice = something out of an older Dragon.

 

[Someguy]

i've always used this name or with the numbers 1121 as this is failry un-original and also fairly common...been around since a bit after the beginning..been posting for.....lemme see....2 years i think

 

[diaglo]

I'm a good little devil.

a 1ed imp.

 

[Sejs]

S.e.j.s. (pronounced 'sez') are my initials, and kind of a fallback user name when the two I normally use (Guy Incognito, and Salron Omens) are unavailable. It's also short, and really easy to type.

^_^


On a seperate note..

NiTessine

Heya NiT, long time no see. I was also on the Bard's Table/Backroom back in the day. Heh, always nice to see a familar name.

 

[Ashrem Bayle]

*shrugs* Made it up.

Back in the dark ages of 2nd edition, I got bored and started playing Vampire a lot.

I got involved in White Wolf's chat rooms and took the name Ishamael for my Tzimisce character. I blatantly stole it from jordan's Wheel of Time series.

Later, I managed to politic my way into the position of Bishop, and changed my name to Lord Ishamael Drakov because it was more prestigious.

Over time, I grew bored with my power and retired the character. From his ashes (almost literally) I create Ashe Bratovich.

Ashe was Ishamael's progeny who killed off his sire.

Anyway, I played Ashe for quiet a while and then 3rd edition came out.

Drawing from my other character, I created Ashrem Bayle, one of my first 3rd edition characters.

On the message boards I was simply Ishamael, which is my username for almost everything. When we started up our online WoT game (see sig), I needed a new name and obviously Ishamael wouldn't do.

So, Ashrem Bayle was reborn as a male Wilder in our WoT game.

Since then, I have also used the name, for our online D&D game (see sig) for my Savant character.

I just like it. I use it for my name in most online games as well.

 

[Qlippoth]

It's been appropriated often (notably in Mage: The Ascension), but it refers to the negative reflections of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life.

I still live in New England. Moxie isn't *that* bad. Though it is an acquired taste...

Moxie isn't a soft drink. It's nerve tonic.
