In my time here at Gewar I've seen some interesting names and here is a place to post why you chose your GEwar name.

My name Generic42 is cause I didn't know what else to put so I chose a generic name. The 42 is because 42 is the answer to life, the universe, and everything. For details see Douglas Adam's book The Hitch hiker's Guide to The Galaxy.

AK7 is a modification of my initials, which are AKAG (two middle names.) Usually when asked for a middle inital I just put K, so that makes it AKG.

But AKG is boring and is too close to EKG, so I replaced the G with 7, because 7 is the smallest number that can't be represented as a sum of fewer than four nonzero squares.

Actually, since it's the 7th letter of the alphabet.

Wow, that's eye opening. I figured it had something to do with an AK-47, guess I was wrong on that one. :D

Well i was looking around the room to try and find a new unique name for myself.. When i spotted my video card box "Radeon 9800"
So i henced the name Radeon! :cool:

This is a war game and I have strong Germanic ties, so I figured I'll use Blitzkrieg "lightning war" for you uncultured swines. :cheesy

And if I had a split personality, I'd play with "Panzer".

I thought that was just a Nazi reference to the bombers that attacked Europe. Glad that it isnt though, Wait, apolitical, sorry. I now have a nuetral opinion on your beliefs.

Blitzkrieg was the type of war that the germans liked.. Quick swift movements that took the enemy by surprise.. I am a ww2 buff. Or lightning war is another way to put it..

I thought that was just a Nazi reference to the bombers that attacked Europe. Glad that it isnt though, Wait, apolitical, sorry. I now have a nuetral opinion on your beliefs.

actually it was.. the blitzkrieg involved the bombing of europe..
Ofcourse it was more about the tank rush, etc. but there still was some bombing, and some nazi's involved..

Also, i dont think you're hurting blitz's beliefs here, i dont think he's a religious neo-nazi, only at parties and such.

Yeah, with some help from Blitz I've been set me straight on things. You just cant trust public school libraries to give you the true story...

mine is the color (mystique) and model of my car (supra)_

:eek: ooooooooh

That's a nice car you got there.

My name is based off the Neil Young song of the same name, and it's slang for a "triggerhappy" person.

Before I read this post, I thought AK-7 was just another gun nut. :p

Love your car! Purple is my fav color. I have no idea what my name means just came to mind when I was thinking of one.I think this is the only web site I have ever been to where I havent had to put in countless names to get one that hasnt been used! I wasnt expecting my first choice to get accepted lol.

Mine is really complicated and I wont be supprised if none of you understand; ;)

araT = Tara :eek:

defenestrate is to throw out a window.

Arat is also a muslim name... heh

Tara is an asian name, for the most part.. refers to a buddhist goddess, she is supposedly the female half (remember, ying yang) of buddha. :)

My name is based off the Neil Young song of the same name, and it's slang for a "triggerhappy" person.

That's what I would have guessed. Good song. I actually like the Cowboy Junkies' version better than the original, though.

"birq" is the sound of a user being banned for posting braindead off-topic blathering. Kind of like what I did in the previous paragraph.

Actually, it means nothing, but all the names that I used to use back in the BBS days (before this fancy interweb thingy, for all you young pups) were taken once they all started coagulating and going IRC. Basically, I needed something unique, and I wanted a "q" in it somewhere, so while I was thinking, the word appeared in front of me in extruded 128 point Lucidia Sans, suspended in a chartreuse fog where it rotated slowly for a few seconds and then disappeared with a foop.

My name?
..........well it's pretty obvious, isn't it?

Back in the day of 300 baud modems and 1200 was a top line modem, I was an administrator of a Roman Theme Mush. I had to pick a Roman Name - Romulus.

Then later that year I also became a Judge at a WOD RPG Mush and became Romulus Judge. When signing things It became RomJ and well I've used RomulusJ since then.

Yea.. No life here.

RomJ

Nasty, nasty flies!!! :mad:

NUFF SAID!!! :cool:

WEll, back in the day of when 56k modems were the only thing around, I was introduced to my first online game starcraft(had a nice 6 year run with that baby). Anyway, back then I didn't even realize multiplayer was possible. Anyway most of the online names were taken, so I had thought long and hard and it occured to me that bulletcrazy was an incredibly badass name :evil, so ever since then, I've gone by bulletcrazy which consequently never seems to be taken on any website I've ever been on. Ya that's right no degrading numbers after my name for me. :cool:

How long ago was that, and what was the transfer rate like?

Yeah, I've been on darn 56k until recently. My parents just wouldn't throw me a bone... and i'm ASIAN for god sakes... I need my broadband!

this is why I love this GEwar game....reminds me of before internet on my 1200 baud modem and BBS forums... and the best game... Baren Realms Elite!

My name came about a long time ago when I was trying to come up with a username for lego club online. There must be a billion people signed up on that site as I kept looking in the dictionary in the z,x, and y sections. Well no luck so I thought and I thought than my dad came up with the word ziggot. The only thing is that most people miss pronounce it. So I have decided to write it down this one time for you to all know how to say it the correct way. It z sound i doesn't say its name than comes g so its zig like mig jet. now the got part is not like got milk its more like gut the place your food goes once you mastacate. Okay now class you can correctly pronounce ziggot correctly! Congradulations and my best wishes to you! If you still can't pronounce it right well I can't help you as you must have some sort of speaking disorder.

Many meanings, but I prefer it to mean chaos or uncertainty. More Entropy means more Uncertainty of an outcome.

Oh and why does everyone misspell my nick as EntHropy?!?! Thats more uncertainty to me :p

It is scary though, coz if you look up the movie Entropy... the lead character has the same name as me and I have been using the nick Entropy long before the movie came out. :evil

Aren't Ziggots those ancient Sumerian cone-shaped temples? Oh wait, that's a Ziggurat.

Holy crap, BRE. I had forgotten about that. I used to run that on my BBS! That and Solar Realms Elite and a bunch of other crappy ASCII games that really seemed to rock at the time :)

My name?
..........well it's pretty obvious, isn't it?

I've seen the answer before, but if I didn't and saw 'UBERDUDE' on a licsence plate, I would have to guess:-

"His Lord - You be our dude"... Hehehe! :)

nothing too clever about mine.

My name is James, and i often get called Jammo by friends. :)

Mine, of course, is the mascot of my HS and the 09 is the year in which i will graduate
Edit: yeah ok im editing the crap outta this screw it im just keeping the origional sentence

Clue: "I'm not left-handed either"

If you don't understand, then you'll neither get or care where the name comes from.

An element that just sounds cool. I always use it for my user name.
However, I have one question . . . .
Is araT's name just Tara backwards or did she take the first letter of her name and put it at the end, because that's what I always thought she did . . . .
Almost forgot, Zinc's car:
(I'll tell you guys one thing, these are some big Legos).

Yes, thats the one ;)

I never thought of it this way, but i guess that works too.. I just like my name backwards ;) makes for a good username and noone else uses it :)

You just wish you had as cool a car as me. I know you're driving something like this:

Early 90s, Late 80s. I remeber gawking at a friends 9600 baud modem as we downloaded a file at amazing speeds.... My parents where good to me they made sure that I had a puter all thoughout school. - Yep that Vic 20 in 1980... Top 'o the line... Now my caluclator has more ram and computing power.

Now I goto a friends and ***** if I am not gettin 5Mps.

I remeber that game... When I went by the moniker Captain Cando...
Gah to be young and an geek.

Heh you can still buy that...
Apparently they have not yet reached version 1.0?!?

My name has a long story associated with it...NOT...its just a shortening of my name Brendon

I'll also post my (lego) car as soon as I find the pic.......

yaaaaaaa maaaan !

I nearly always use Chaz in my username ( except in miniclip where im helimanic ) as it can shorten my name and I got chazzycaz while i was searching 4 a username in a massive game. Its stuck since then. chazzycaz is everything 4 me now

my first notebook was a Dell ....

NYTransit - no, I don't work for the new york MTA....

Back in the day (early 70's), the guys over the MIT Labs got some spare time on an old PDP machine (yes, not everyone has always owned their own PC).

They setup a program to see if you could hit every station (approx 468, depending on how you count them) in the New York City subway system using one token.... it turns out you can..

So, since then, in tribute to the first hackers, I have used this name on most boards.

Personal note: Hacker used to mean something, people that wanted to find new and interesting ways to use technology...now every script kiddie in the world think they are a hacker... if you want a good read, "Hackers" by steven levy is excellent... ISBN: 0141000511


and since we are all posting our cars, here's mine...

Beezer is a nickname I earned several years ago from my friends. The story of how I got it involves an AMC Pacer, 3 donkey's, a 4 gallon vat of Vicks Vapo-Rub, a machette, 17 pairs of tube socks, a football helmet full of vaseline and 4 scantily clad fat chicks.

And I'm sure no one wants to read about all that.

RomJ

mine is the name of the captain in Jaws and my moms phone number (which was mine when i made the name).....give her a call

I think you could guess the reason of my name... ScarskiN. I've got quitte a lot of scars on my boddy. Most of them because I fell off my mountainbike.
In my team everyboddy has a nickname and they used to call me Scar. But since that username is usualy to short/token by someone else with multiplayers it became ScarskiN


and since everyboddy is posting his or her ride.... here's mine ;)

Mine... I dunno, I was thinking for a badass name for Counter-Strike and the name Bleak sounded like it meant something :confused:

1. cold, windswept, or barren.
2. having a hopeless quality.
3. a small European river fish whose silvery scales are used to make artificial pearls.

My name is self-explanatory.

My name came from my love of cats, they're so cute!
We also breed ragdoll kittens: www.ragajac.com.au.

Also an obvious female name and i think computer geeks need more contact with females :P

is very mischievious...and although it's not a very feminine name...I think most of the guys around here have figured out that I'm a girl.... ;)

Chayoss - Too many people use Chaos as a name, and so I changed it around to make it a name that no one has ever used.

Did you consider Mandlebrock ;)

My name comes from the German Heavy Battle Tank in WW2 called the King Tiger (or Königstiger in Duetsch). US Bazooka Rounds could not penetrate the Armour of a King Tiger and its main gun (88mm Smoothbore cannon) could go right through a Sherman Tank.

It could also hit a Target acurately 2200m away.


For more info on the King Tiger Tank see here: http://www.wargamer.com/Hosted/Panzer/ktiger.htm

(It was also known as the Tiger II or the Tiger Ausf. B)

i dont really know what my name means i just thought of one


GE stands for name of the website and fourtwenty means four twenty


i dont know i couldnt think of a good name so i made one off the top of my head

hixthebeast - lemme break it down:

hix = hicks (my last name)

thebeast = i have something that has been granted the term of "beast" hehe;beer

thebeast = i have something that has been granted the term of "beast" hehe;beer

Is it a gear stick?

Mine is not as interesting as some of other people, is it just a user name asigned to me in university based on my full name, dan= Daniel, que=Quesada, ca= Camacho,
and i started to use it everywhere.

I used to know this guy named Steve that got mad one day because he couldn't ride shotgun in my car (somebody else called it). Instead of sitting in the back he walked home and never spoke to me or my friend again. Since then, we always refer to him as Shotgun Steve.

Hmm, my internet names include Shotgun pete, but its part of my collection including Uzi abibi, Pistolen Paultje (Pistoling Paul), Flamey Mikey, Machine Max, Bazooka Bob and such..

o right, i never posted on this thread cause my name is boring. My name is Tim, south parks coolest citizen is Timothy ofcourse, so i dutchified that a little once looking for a non-taken name in asheron's call 2 (Game i played).

It's my cat's name.

Mine is from my Army years. I served in the 75th Ranger Regiment. Thus Ranger King or rgrking.

My name is because of my scars, I've got a few scars on my face and a lot on my arms, back, stummic, legs etc... I also have 2 on my hands but they are from primary school. I've been bulleyed verry bad there, one of the guys who was the leading bulleyer got a knife for his birthday and wantet to try it out on my hand because I didn't cry anymore when they beat me.... He knived in my hand on two places before I got away.... I also have on on my forehead from a time they where waiting for me outside school and they beat me pretty hard.
But Most of my scars are from Mountainbiking, skating and stuff like that and I'm proud of them! ;)

dooood, thats crazy. bullies suck ****. im sorry to hear bout this, makes me sad.:sad i got a few scars on my arm from drunken nights and heated knives and lighters, but thats just another one of my many drunken stories lol. all i cn say is i hope karma exists for people like that. it would get them back good;rocket

it would get them back good;rocket

I did with one of these guys, kicked his ass cuz I've grown a lot since then and now I'm a lot bigger then them.... it didn;t really make me feel better, actually it made me feel sick, all I hope is that I just never have to see them again. after the thing with the wound on my forehead I've been in hospital for 3 months, I was totaly freaked out when I got out. They send me to an other hospital, they said I wasn't allright in my head and stuff (NOT TRUE, I'm completely allright in my head) but I still got nightmares and stuff about what happened, and I really hope that these guys will be punished some day....

Uns_Uwe means translate us_Uwe(Uwe is a first name) and this was the nickname of the german soccer player Uwe Seeler. At first I wanted to name myself Napoleon, but the name was just given and I don´t want to be Napoleon243457 or so and then I decide this name...
