What does your name mean?

[willemvanoranje]

willemvanoranje= Willem van Oranje.

He lived in the 16th century and he was THE man who started the independence war against Spain. In 1584 he was murdered, but his sons continued the war. The war began in 1568 and ended in 1648 with the official independency of THE SEVEN UNITED PROVINCES OF THE NETHERLANDS.

[fruitfly]

well, it's actually a profound protest against the basic inability to justify one's existance and the basic need to do so. A renormalized ceratitis capitata a la para-deustch philosophy, if you may. may be initialized by a preceding relative definition in the positive-when. naaa, it's just all I could come up with, or as marx (the one with the moustache) once said:

[Johan511]

Johan is from the character Johan of the (Gold Collectors Card) put out from the Wizards of the Coast Series Magic the Gathering. A very evil and stout character, he always does much damage in battle. The 511 is from an even older proverb, Added in its numerical value becomes a Jewish word of value although technically I'm not Jewish (But I do find their culture fascinating.) It numerical value it also adds up to a world I do very much like.

I've thought of changing my name to fit my more dubious character, but I've decided to stick with Johan511 because that is now who I’ve come to be known as.
Peace Johan

 

[Loaf Warden]

Loaf Warden is the Modern English translation of the two components that formed the Old English word that eventually developed into the Modern English word 'lord'. That's not meant as some conceited thing, it's just an homage to the origins of my native language; that, and it sounded amusing to me when I first came up with it.

[NeelaX]

My nickname comes from an awesome game, Heroes III. She is the hottest chick in the game...although she's blue and has no hair. Plus I usually can destroy my enemies with her seductive ways. The 'X' is my own addition representing my personal seductions..hahaha

 

[Flatlander Fox]

Flatlander: I am from Nebraska and a good friend of mine was from Scotland. He was the Highlander, and I was the Flatlander. Another guy from the unit was known as the "Islander" (Filipino). Anyway it was a running joke between all of us.
Fox: I am a HUGE fan of almost any kind of strategy game or RPG. Most games I play, I do very well at. I consider myself to be *toots his own horn*

a excellent strategist when it comes to wargames or any kind of game for that matter. I couldn't call myself the "Desert Fox" (Too much of a ripoff on someone who's intellect I respect) so I call myself the Flatlander Fox.

No, j/k. BTW, Heroes III rocks, but I've been disappointed by Chronicles. Not bad but not brilliant nor.

[GenghisK]

Seems to me that I explained it somewhere in another thread.
A hint: my first name is Khanh. As I generally don't have a lot of original ideas...

And that may seem ironical because I'm all but a conqueror! I don't have a conqueror temper at all. Just ask Stormerne. And surprisingly, most of my friends call me Genghis too.

[sulla]

"Sulla" was a Roman general who marched on Rome to reclaim his power in approximately 80 BC. He then (with his army's backing) got himself appointed Dictator for as long as he wanted -- turned out to be about 2.5 years. (Until that time, the title of Dictator was appointed by the Senate in times of national emergency for exactly six months. This allowed one man to make decisions quickly without the delay of Senatorial debate. After his term was ended a Dictator was immune to legal prosecution for any action he took while in office.) Sulla was a gifted general, logician, and orator -- all qualities I aspire to. He was also ruthless, murdered his enemies, and rumored to like boys -- all qualities I do NOT aspire to. However, I've always liked his epitaph, "No better friend, no worse enemy". And that's the way I like to play Civ2.

[BorderPatrol]

My original name was Uruk_the_Great because that was the first known city according to Microsoft's Encylopedia. Nobody could figure that one out wo I changed it to goodyhut, after the huts in civ II. Now I don't know if goodyhuts will even be in Civ III, but I know borders will. And if you cross mine you better have your green card!

[goodbye_mr_bond]

I was attending an English Teachers' conference, and the presenter decided to show us some slides. This being Japan everything is automated, so he just pressed a button and these electric steel blinds started coming down while the lights dimmed and slide number one (a sinister-looking dude in a tacky suit) appeared. We were all kind of momentarily stunned at the high tech--I guess we'd been mostly dozing anyway--when my friend suddenly stood up and said loudly, "Goodbye, Mr Bond!" before running out of the room. He said later he just had to go to the washroom, but it was perfect timing!
