Names... Identities... What?

I just suddenly started trippin' mad balls when looking at the word "Leus."  I'm pretty sure I've referred to myself as or been referred to as Leus more times in my life than as Jordan.  I think I might even think of myself more as Leus than Jordan.  P.S. my name is Jordan.  But it's like...  This is like MY name, but I named myself...  But it's totally me, my identity, nobody else.  I know lots of people online use lots of different identities or names they get from other pre-existing people or characters, so they probably don't feel as attached or connected to any one, but I've been Leus for almost ten years now which is easily the majority of my internet career...

It's like, I write stuff and I could just sign it "-Leus" or label something I made with "Leus - " at the beginning or see someone say "Oh, yeah, Leus, blah blah blah" and be like "blah blah blah" back naturally 'cause they're just addressing me...  I dunno.  It just seemed weird.

Anyone else relate in any way?  Lol.

Re: Names... Identities... What?

"Iritscen" is definitely like a second name to me, even though I've only used it since 2006.  It does seem weird sometimes to be known only by that name on the Internet, but most of the time I don't think about it.  I guess I'm just grateful I didn't pick the name "xXxdaRkSlaYer87xXx" or something and get stuck with that.  (And by the way, what is up with people putting their birth year in their handle?)

Re: Names... Identities... What?

It's when their name is too unoriginal to not have numbers...  And then I guess that sticks sometimes to other websites that don't even need it.

Re: Names... Identities... What?

"Gumby" began as a nickname in school (this one time at band camp...), my freshman year. I've had it for nearly six years now, I guess. I respond to it just as much as "Kyle".

Re: Names... Identities... What?

Not gonna lie, 4x4 Evolution was pretty fun, especially with all the ridiculous user-created content.

Re: Names... Identities... What?

The title "Dirk Gently" I have taken from the series of books from Douglas Adams. I used to use various names with a clan handle on them, but I finally settled on this. While I have never actually used it in real life for anything, I do respond to "marvin" from a few people which is a slight reference to the hitch-hikers series of books by douglas adams. Those that know me well enough just use my real name which is "sam".

Re: Names... Identities... What?

Sorry to any1 who doesn't play 4x4 here but I juz wanna ask stevin a question. Why is my 4x4 evolution failing to save my career after I quit ? It only saves for one time and that is when I play installed it and immediately launch it. It didn't happen so far but juz recently when I decided to play it again sad

I usually call myself Cyaegha (T_W_D is a description, I don't use it), and it just kinda came to me. I began to understand how well it actually suits me long after I picked it, and then it just stuck. Name's Carina, btw.

Re: Names... Identities... What?

lol at TOCS signature but northero was a name I created when I was playing a multiplayer game called maplestory. I'm pretty sure most of you here has heard it before and the reason I called myself northero was because I intended to do a job called ice mage. Back then I thought, since north is cold and icy why not call myself northero ? Well It has since den been used by me. Muz be thinking why not south ? I have no reason for that. It juz came to my mind the word north  lol

Re: Names... Identities... What?

Well, I've used Ether as my nickname for more than 10 years now, but almost nobody actually calls me that, my friends use my name or surname and their variations. The funny thing about that is that even my close friends call me by variations on my surname and other people sometimes think that it's my nickname.

Re: Names... Identities... What?

wanna know whats cool tho? i gave willow kick to Mukade :3

along with the Furies face-surfing runnig-fw-k throw, and her back-kick throw where she flips them with her foot, Mukade really doesnt have many throws so i gave him a couple of my own, ive tweaked him up a bit to make him easier to play, including increasing a few of the mvoes damages cause really, he isnt easy to play, ive been playing for him for a long time now, and i dont think i ever became as good as i did with Mai... he's just hard to play, but i keep at it smile

the name didnt really define me tho, cause when i created this account like, 5 years back, i only came on mostly to ask about the BLAM problem with XP, and at that point i playd Konoko just though Muk was awesome, i fell into him later on when i became active again a few months back... so contrary to what you said, when i did name myself Mukade, it wasnt really meant to "define" me as you put it, i still sorta see it as kinda lame

Re: Names... Identities... What?

Haha Ic I dun tink I can find a character that I've became better than Konoko ( ok Mai if u insist ) coz I've been playing with konoko for around 6 years and it juz seems easy to play using her how and as to the Furies face-surfing running-fw-k throw, I tink it is pretty easy to use it on any characters not juz on Mukade. I juz thought Mukade was cool as he has great agility    cool

I got my name changed from Rexxar to TOCS (because I thought it was too Warcraftish). If you send a PM to Harry about it, I'm sure he'll take a look at it.

often on the internet I use Remas as my name ( read backwards Samer)  or Rony tongue don't ask why Rony -_-

Nice to formally meet u  guys big_smile Jordan, Kyle, Leon. Carina, Tobias

Re: Names... Identities... What?

I had million nicknames long time ago.

lepta, marka_ragnos, maul13, Omega, dekan, OmiKroN(for a year), Demokrit(for 2 years) and finally demos_kratos (1 year until now)

demos_kratos = Rule of people (not exact). I explained it somewhere, I believe.

anyway, it is hard for anyone to call me Stanislav smile everyone calls me Stas.
