-Why did you pick it and what does it mean?

My computer was acting up, and I started calling it Judas. That and I wanted something that wasn't taken anywhere so I added in 'machine.'

-How long have you been using it?

Since like '01

-Do you use the same nickname on every forum you visit?

Mostly. It's never taken. I have found somethings on Google that aren't me, but are named Judasmachine, so either someone saw the name and liked it, or someone had the same idea.

-It's short for Tick_Tock, because I'm impatient as fvck. I'm one of those guys that types gogogogogo in online games.

-I've been using it for like 7 years.

-I use this or some variant of Tick_Tock everywhere. If you see a name like this, it's probably me.

While I have no ADD or anything like that, I've been known to be spontaneous, especially if I'm kinda bored but not so bored that I'm just driven into the ground by the weight of it. One day in high school someone amusedly said something like "holy cow you're like the ADD Avenger or something" and I decided I like the sound of it.

I've been using it since I joined, and plan to keep it that way

This is the only forum I go to except for Yahoo answers, but that doesn't count and I only go there when I can't find anything interesting here on AT.

Edit: I forgot all about F@H's support forum, I do look at that now and again and yeah I use the same name.

-Why did you pick it and what does it mean?
I was thinking of a XBL nickname, and Cyclone was taken, so I chose Xyclone (silent X).

-How long have you been using it?
Since November 15, 2001.

-Do you use the same nickname on every forum you visit?
Yep! But sometimes it's taken... I think WTF?! Oh, and apparently some bicycle tire company named Spinergy released a tire called Xyclone, a couple of years after I registered it with XBL! WTF?!

-Why did you pick it and what does it mean?
i picked it cause i didn't know what else to pick. most of the things i wanted were already taken. as for its meaning, i think it's pretty obvious!

-How long have you been using it?
ever since i joined AT.

-Do you use the same nickname on every forum you visit?
Pretty much.

It means "Royalty" in Neosa. I invented the word about two years ago. Edit: All forums not related to Age of Empires. I even use it in some of those though.

Welcome to my first post ever on ATOT (or any other AT forum, long time AT website user, first time AT forum visitor). My name came from an episode of South Park, although I've only ever met one person who got the reference. I've been using it for about 2 or 3 years now - had another nick previously that was 5+ years old and was feeling tired.

Was in (am in) a band called letdown. 427 is cu in of a particular Shelby Cobra that I quite like

-How long have you been using it?

Few years

Yep. Although in games, I'll use shigeno.Should've done that here too really, but then people would instantly assume I like anime, which I don't.

The STORY OF SCOOBMASTER
<-------------------------I

When I was in my last year of high school, some friends and I started working as co-ops in a local manufacturing plant. After a few weeks of getting acclimated, we were given some minute leadership roles over some smaller projects. This somtimes required us to lead a small group of temporary workers (unskilled laborers hired through an agency). These were usually men that had dropped out of school early in life and could not be trusted to use power tools safely My friends nicknamed them "Scooby-Dumbs" after Scooby-Doo's dimwitted Grey cousin. This soon becamed shortened to just "Scoobs". Somehow I seemed to be leading groups of these "Scoobs" more often than any of my co-workers - so they dubbed me the "Scoob-Master"!

This all took place back in the late '80s before Scooby-Doo became "retro-trendy" For reasons I cannot fathom, the moniker stuck.

So...... I have come to accept it.

I am the SCOOBMASTER!
