Utopia Talk / General Talk / What's Your Username

nhill rank	Sun May 16 10:20:52 2021 Let's play a game. From where did your username come?
nhill rank	Sun May 16 10:22:06 2021 Mine was the username given to me in the 8th grade computer programming class where I originally played Utopia.
nhill rank	Sun May 16 10:22:26 2021 Never used it anywhere else.
Cherub Cow rank	Sun May 16 14:36:18 2021 I hope you didn't just reveal your login credentials! Someone could totally go to your school, log-in to your IBM PC XT, and mess up your 8th grade classwork ;) ..for me, "Cow" because I really like cows and small-sized cow stuffed-animals (I stopped collecting them after high school, though), and I had been working on incorporating Smashing Pumpkins songs into a screen name.. lots of bad screen name variations around 1996.. like "CherubRock1979".. before combining "Cherub Rock" and "Cow" for "Cherub Cow". 1995's "The Prophecy" was also still in my mind, so I was really into the angelic hierarchy.. I liked the idea of cherubs (separate concept from putto) representing the mind and their being intermediaries/messengers between the real and the imaginary.
Repel rank	Sun May 16 15:41:23 2021 you know that story about Rumpelstilskin? meet his Dutch cousin Repelsteeltje, During more then 3 decades of using this nickname it got shortened to Rep by now. I suspect in a couple of years people will call me R
Daemon rank	Sun May 16 16:23:11 2021 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daemon_(computing)
Agri rank	Sun May 16 17:22:17 2021 I started using it about 20 years ago when I created my first email address. Agri is short for Agricola, which is Latin for farmer, which is my last name (at least, the Dutch variety).
nhill rank	Sun May 16 19:24:43 2021 Lolz CC. You can hack my Java homework it’s ok. Agricola is also a pretty good board game.
nhill rank	Sun May 16 19:25:45 2021 CC, Daemon, Repel, Agri Do you use your Utopia username elsewhere or just here? Yes
Agri rank	Sun May 16 19:45:44 2021 Yeah I've played it a few times, but not enough considering I actually own it :P I've used it for email (not anymore) and a forum we used in highschool (not anymore, obviously). So I think this is the only place I'm using it right now.
Cherub Cow rank	Sun May 16 20:35:36 2021 "Agri is short for Agricola, which is Latin for farmer" Yay! When I finally took Latin, I kept reading about "Agri" since beginning Latin was all about grammar and farming, and I was like, "Wow, I bet that's the reasoning behind Agri's name." Very cool :D Same thing with Daemon's name after I watched Mr. Robot. :p .. "Do you use your Utopia username elsewhere or just here?" I hope you don't intend to follow up on the terrible things I've done across the Internet.. but yes, same name on a bunch of sites :p
nhill rank	Sun May 16 21:36:52 2021 Ha, not my intention, but now that you mention it.... ;)
Repel rank	Sun May 16 22:13:22 2021 Repel is my nick on the internet. So yeah I use it almost everywhere
nhill rank	Sun May 16 23:07:53 2021 Ok Repel, but that doesn't help me sleuth you because your name is too generic.
Kaylana rank	Mon May 17 00:30:26 2021 The first year or two I was under the name JadeTygress (from Green Tigress on Gauntlet Legends, which was my favorite arcade game in 98-99). Kaylana didn't come around until late 2000, which actually originated on Utopia as a character I created in Utopia Roleplaying. No particular inspiration for the name, I just liked the sound of it. For some reason, GTers ignored JadeTygress but Kaylana stuck, so I dropped "JT" even though that was my oldie name since no one knew who JT was anyway. I don't have much use for internet handles anymore, but it's still what I consider my default online nickname.
hood rank	Mon May 17 01:01:32 2021 my 2nd province in utopia was titled "hood ornament" - what I was going to turn enemies into as I ran them over. I was a wee little teenager. It was bad. but I was called hood as a nickname and it wasn't a bad one.
nhill rank	Mon May 17 01:09:31 2021 Hood That's some real hood shit right there. Kaylana Interesting story! I forgot all about the RP forums.
Agri rank	Mon May 17 18:06:01 2021 *puts on his robe and wizard hat*

Repel rank	Tue May 18 12:37:23 2021 "Ok Repel, but that doesn't help me sleuth you because your name is too generic" @nhill which is a damn good thing
Pillz rank	Tue May 18 12:56:49 2021 I started a meme about pills on another forum and got nicknamed pillz. When I registered for my swirve forum account Steel was already taken (by the same dude who has it here) so I picked pillz.
nhill rank	Tue May 18 16:34:50 2021 Repel What are you trying to hide

Korp rank	Fri May 21 18:10:27 2021 My OG nickname, Rake was unoriginally taken from a fantasy book i was into back then (still is Malazan book of the Fallen) That rake was a gardening tool never crossed my mind.
nhill rank	Fri May 21 21:34:11 2021 KORP! I CAN UNDERSTAND YOU WITHOUT MY GOOGLE TRANSLATE EXTENSION! WHATS GOING ON? YOU OK?

Repel rank	Sat May 22 12:32:50 2021 Wait are you Raven DB as well Korp?
Korp rank	Sat May 22 18:47:51 2021 No Raven DB would be Raven DB, hes a swede that thinks Ravens are cool!

McKobb rank	Sun May 23 00:58:39 2021 first used it in geocities, used it here and there in the 90's and 2000's. originally used BloodForTheBloodGod in geocities banned Blood banned macabre banned so McKobb those weren't content based bans, they just tightly policed names there

Nimatzo rank	Tue May 25 14:27:41 2021 I had an old high school friend who liked manga, he used to call me Nimatzo.
Cherub Cow rank	Tue May 25 16:02:10 2021 "That rake was a gardening tool never crossed my mind." Also "an immoral pleasure seeker" :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJO7hcinS-U ..which reminds also of "A Rake's Progress" by Hogarth.
nhill rank	Tue May 25 17:18:28 2021 > I had an old high school friend who liked manga, he used to call me Nimatzo. But what's a Nimatzo? o.O
Nimatzo rank	Wed May 26 10:37:06 2021 Well my real name is Nima, the tzo makes it sound Japanese :)
Midion rank	Mon Jul 05 12:53:19 2021 I ended up misspelling "Minion". Boss from the 1995 Twisted Metal game. I typed in "Midion" instead when setting up an email address. So I just kept using it that way. Started using it my username. :D
Cherub Cow rank	Mon Jul 05 14:28:14 2021 Minion was super cool in Twisted Metal. Reminds me of using Thumper and sneaking up on people to spam with fire ;D Seems like they could cash in on a sequel there..
OsamaIsDaWorstPresid rank	Mon Jul 12 00:32:39 2021 my naem wuz bcos osama bin obama hussein wuz da worst presid in da USA aftar we had georg da best presid
nhill rank	Mon Jul 12 03:50:16 2021 How about your other usernames?
Pillz rank	Thu Jul 15 04:41:28 2021 The name Steel came from Steel Realm. My first utopian province name. It didn't mean anything. It and my ruler name were just cool combinations from the titles of the games on the desk in front of me. I was like 11. It was abbreviated as SR or Steel. I preferred Steel and thus carried it over as a user name. The original swirve forums steel owns the account here. The original utonet steel was a Danish woman, and she retired about 6 months before I registered the name and hasn't reappeared since. That was 16 years ago.
Pillz rank	Thu Jul 15 04:43:48 2021 On the jolt forums I own the steel account. But it was like perma banned and black listed or something. Just like my original master account =(
OsamaIsDaWorstPresid rank	Fri Jul 16 20:22:25 2021 "How about your other usernames?" wen u wuz drunk and momentarlie bcaem a borin nerd and had da gay sex wit a obese mexicen man my naem wuz nhill

Blue rank	Sat Jul 31 05:13:46 2021 Blue Needed an email address random words "rulyblue" chose Blue when introduced to utopia at age 5? there were boats
Repel rank	Sat Jul 31 15:54:38 2021 so it has absolutely nothing to do with 'that' song? *sadness*
OsamaIsDaWorstPresid rank	Fri Aug 13 10:02:43 2021 u playid utopea wen u were 5?
Damian DB rank	Wed Sep 22 18:20:33 2021 when I started utopia, I friend started with me. the ruler in his Kingdom was named "Damian" he couldn't play often so I took over his account in age 2 and 3 of utopia. The Kingdom he was in was awesome, and when the shuffle happened the kingdom wanted to spend more time in the forums together, so we all kind of found our way onto the public forums. I stuck with the name Damian from that, eventually joined the Danish Brotherhood for the DB. My normal handle I use online is Jodrok (pronounced Jod Rock). It started as my character name in FFXI, I played a huge Galka and wanted a name that sounded tough and unmoving, that's what I though of. I have kept that name through most of my games, first it was only for RPG or MMO games, but I now use it in all games pretty much. Though lately if I decide to play a female character, I choose the name Jalyn a lot.
Carly DB rank	Wed Nov 10 15:11:40 2021 It's so interesting reading all of these! Carly is my actual name. I've never been good at nicknames. ;) DB from what Damian said. I use a different handle for gaming since my real name would obviously be a bad idea. Lol
nhill rank	Wed Nov 10 23:42:02 2021 Carly had the best grand reveal. The suspense was killing me! ;) That's cool that you played FFXI, Damian. Someone dared me to make a female Tarutaru named "Tagawoski" for the lulz and I did. It was weird, as I ended up getting super invested in the character (levels, loot, etc.) so I was stuck with her. That was the only time I've ever played a female character on purpose online (sometimes games like Fortnite, which I play w/ the kids, will randomly put me as female before I had skins). Strange phenomena. I got a lot of free stuff from people simping over the cute little Tarutaru. Got tired of explaining that I was a male IRL, so I just milked it at the end, and then sold the account for $700. Partly from all the free stuff, but mostly because it was a solid character (level 75 BLM with decent HNM gear).
Carly DB rank	Thu Nov 11 05:03:19 2021 Those little guys are just so stinking cute. Hard to resist.
nhill rank	Thu Nov 11 05:24:10 2021 I noticed! Did you play? :D
Carly DB rank	Tue Nov 23 22:21:19 2021 I did! I really liked the gameplay I just hate being forced to play with strangers in the dungeons. Hilarious, I know as I'm literally here talking to people I met through an internet game...but I hate playing games with strangers on the internet.
TheHighQueen rank	Mon Aug 28 08:03:43 2023 I was always a big fan of history (including mythology) and fantasy. At the time I was reading a lot of different versions of Arthurian legend. One of the novels was told from the perspective of King Arthur's wife Guinevere. I thought it was interesting to see the story through a different lens. The second book in that series was called, "The High Queen". I really should dig that book out from storage and see if I would still find it enjoyable 25 or so years later. ;) ;)
Curious TQA rank	Mon Oct 23 09:15:50 2023 I wanted to ask a question about the game in the strategy forum and just 'Curious' felt a bit too generic. Other people had tags on their name so I added 'TQA' (The Question Asker).
