New for new, and paradigm is like a tradition, or but a better translation would be its an archtype for those of you who know what that means.

Back in '99, my Tribes 1 clan named me "Vicious" because of my aggressive playing style. That got shortened to Vic over Roger Wilco, and it stuck.

Square + Cube = Sqube

I don't know how I came up with it, but it came to me in a moment of brilliant inspiration.

I always used Silver as my handle for gaming, and well, I guess I fully qualify to be "in love", and I am sorry none of you will be at the wedding...

hence SilveandinLove

Yes..."friend". How did you break it to your parents?

Very funny, LoKe, and mature, too. Your parents should be real proud.

They probably aren't. But at least I, and they, have a sense of humour..

Eh, sorry. It's been a rough day, I'm not finding very much funny today.

Mine is simply my nickname throughtout school and college. My last name is Fearnside, I guess its too long so people always shortened it to "Fern".

On all other boards that I post I am "Coyote". My dog looks like its half Coyote, and I live on a street named Coyote. That name was unavailable here when I joined.

Hung Far Lo was a legendary Chinese restaurant/dive in Portland's Chinatown. Combined my love of the sauce with a local landmark. Hungfarover. *shrug*

Formulaic username given to me when the school network was upgraded in 5th grade.

Unoriginal. Oh well.

back in 95', when i was a l33t AOL uzer of Fate Ultra 9.0 by MaGuS and FuNGii (ok that had nothing to do with it, I was just looking back).... I saw a bunch of junk on my desk like network switches, random tools, and gadgets or if you will.. gizmo's.. but I realized that gizmo was too common and that day I deemed myself to THE ultimate Gizmo...

I just come up with mine years ago, not wanting to use my real name. I was thinking in terms of Technology and being on the bleeding edge of it. So hince the Razor (being Technology) and the Blaze coming from behind its cut (me always chasing Technology), put um together ... Blazerazor. It has stuck.

My old BBS handle back in the day was formaldehyde. When I tried getting an AIM account the max letters you could use in your username was 10, so I had to shorten it. I took the first two letters, fo, and extended them with eff owe. Nice nonsensical username that no-one ever has.

Mine came from an inside joke with my high school buddies. We all decided to give each other really lame names that involved the first letter of our first name out of complete boredom. My friend Luke became Lman and I (Justin), became Jdog. The 1718 was just a combination of the ages I was in between when I created a username back then, Between 17 & 18 years old. Instead of updating it to what would now be 2223, for ease of remembering it I've kept the 1718.
