Screen names and first impressions

[Mycanid]

It's why I don't text; it annoys me to abbreviate a three letter word down to one.

And I'll tell you, if I had known screen names led to impressions, I'd have totally named myself "Musclesmart Niftyrich." It just has this ring to it, don't you think?

[Puzzlingly scratches his cap - Musclesmart Niftyrich? :\ ]

Actually PC to be honest your avatar says WAY more to me about "who you are" rather than your screen name....

All hail Chronosome, who drew the original for me as a gift!

To this day, it makes me very happy.

WHOA! The bird!

Now the BIRD could be named Musclesmart Niftyrich! What a great bird! ... pity it would make the image too small if you included the whole thing in the avatar "space" though.

Ah well! [Pardon the slight thread wander tangent folks ]

Get a Treo (or iPhone) and abbreviate nothing! Annoy all the texters no end!

Now I wonder what level you have to be for Piratecat's bird to give you a quest.

I chose my screenname to give people a fair chance of guessing right away that I am another one of those over-the-top, "problem" Paladin players.

yeah it does... but gives me the impression that you're compensating.....

Few screen names leave an impression on me. Avatars leave more of an impression, but not near as much as people's posts. It doesn't take me long to peg certain personalities on a messageboard. Like the people who are emo, people who are just all around whiny, those who are so gung-ho on narrow interpretations of rules that they forget that games are about having fun, drama queens, attention whores.......I could go on forever.

I picked my screen name, like many, because she is a D&D character of mine. My first in fact, and 5.5 years later, I am still playing her. Although I have played a few others in between
