What does your ENWorld name mean?

[nnms]

I like keeping aquariums and my username is for a creature I like in saltwater/reef aquariums. But I spelled it incorrectly. Oops.

 

[Viktyr Gehrig]

It's my name. I had it changed last year.

 

[Redshirt]

It was the name I used the first time I played Halo 2 with my friends (it seemed appropriate). I've used it pretty much for everything since.

 

[SoulsFury]

I had thought of an idea for a campaign setting that I wanted to DM in many years ago, which basically entailed me not creating the world at all until we played in it, allowing all details to be designed as we played, catering to what the players want. Whatever they expressed interest in, I would put in it. If I heard someone say, "That would suck if we ran into xxx," well then they would run into it. Never got to do it until recently, and it is by far the most successful campaign I have ever run. My players actually know about the world because they had input in it. They have designed and built villages and towns, created the cultures and helped along the politics. I called it Soul's Fury because it was to come from the heart and imagination of my players (the Soul part), and the Fury part because I get to lash out at them for wanting something I didn't (lol).

 

[kitsune9]

Kitsune is the Japanese word for fox. I chose it just because.

 

[Stumblewyk]

Stumblewyk was the name of my first-ever PC, back in AD&D 2e. Gnome Cleric/Illusionist. I still love that little guy.

 

[invokethehojo]

A friend of mine came up with the phrase Invoke The Hojo in highschool. I will give you it's definition by example:

When you have a very busy day planned at work the next day, but you stay up all night droppin acid (or similar) and not only don't go to work, but call in trippin balls with an excuse that may not even be plausible in a cartoon, and you can hear your coworkers are dealing with that shitstorm of work your skipping out on in the background, and then once off the phone you take two more hits of acid (or similar), it is then that you are invokin the hojo.

 

[NoWayJose]

In my high school, there was one guy called José. On the very last day of school, he said something that gave me the opening to finally, finally exclaim, "No way Jose!". Years later, if feels like a suitable moniker for a forum where people often disagree with each other.

 

[Aspect of Veles]

Veles was a slavic deity whose primary domain was sheep, and he fought so hard to protect them, that he became the god of fighters. Later, he was deemed so 'down to earth' that he was made god of the underworld in addition to his other two domains. He was an all-around nice guy.

Then the christian missionaries came in and made connections between him and the devil (animal-association, violence, god of the underworld) and his follwers soon dwindled.

I just find the progression of his domains amusing, and the mythology geek in me loves the idea of using a character from mythology whom hardly anyone has heard of. I use this moniker on many sites, only choosing different names on especially thematic forums (such as yog-sothoth).

 

[NewJeffCT]

I was originally on enworld through an old work email. My ID/user name was something like JeffCT1966 or something like that. I was a fairly frequent poster dating back to around when 3E was first coming out. I remember going to this site religiously in anticipation of 3E.

However, I changed jobs and forgot my password. And, of course, password recovery usually involves sending an email to the registered email address, which was my no longer valid work email.

So, in case anybody actually knew me and remembered me at all, I became NewJeffCT to replace JeffCT1966 in an attempt to make it familiar to people.
