Your alias

[Sophie 378]

Sophie = my name
378 = my university email number
03 = year I started university
78 = last two digits of my ID number

 

[Valka D'Ur]

The first part is a Tolkien-inspired name I gave myself in high school (meaning "the one who walks alone", long story), the second is the city I served my mission in, and putting them together was inspired by a short lived TV show I never saw, but which nonetheless starred a hot chick.

That would be "Joan of Arcadia"? I remember enjoying that program. It's too bad it didn't go beyond two seasons.

You started university when you were three years old?

My own username, Valka D'Ur, came about as a result of my getting addicted to Civ II: Test of Time. In the science fiction scenario, there is a human group called the Uridians, and my first character was male (Valerian). But I wanted to have a female character, so I chose a similar-sounding name that also brought female warriors to mind (Valka/Valkyries).

 

[Heretic_Cata]

I delibrately chose a weird username hoping to draw attention of other posters (didn't work, obviously). It was going to be Taillesskangaroo, but if I remember correctly the username can't have more than 15 letters and then I forgot to capitalise the "T" so it became taillesskangaru.

How strange. This is the first time i actually read your name properly.
Till today you were Tleilaxungaru.

It's because is should've ended with an "o".

 

[Eran of Arcadia]

That would be "Joan of Arcadia"? I remember enjoying that program. It's too bad it didn't go beyond two seasons.

Yeah. Interesting trivia: I have never seen a single part of a single episode of that show.

 

[Kraznaya]

the second is the city I served my mission in

Which "Arcadia?" The one in California or Maryland? I used to live in one of them and wasn't totally civil with LDS missionaries who dared to ring my doorbell.

 

[CCA]

My alias is my real name except it needs a dez to complete it. That was back when there was a character limit in names

 

[Eran of Arcadia]

Which "Arcadia?" The one in California or Maryland? I used to live in one of them and wasn't totally civil with LDS missionaries who dared to ring my doorbell.

The California one.

And it's okay, we were used to the uncivil. We just wished people could be more creative in being uncivil to us.

 

[CurtSibling]

The California one.

And it's okay, we were used to the uncivil. We just wished people could be more creative in being uncivil to us.

Come to my door, if you wish.

I can introduce you to whole new worlds of uncivility.

 

[Eran of Arcadia]

Very uncivil, to be sure, but creative?

I mean, I don't mind being yelled and sworn at and threatened, but it takes more than that.

(By "me", of course, I mean "other people" as I finished my mission 2 years ago and thus no longer tract.)

 

[Rossiya]

I got my name from my surname, which is Rossi, and then combined it with the Russian name for Russia, which is like my name, Rossiya.

 

[Desmond Hawkins]

I liked to think that in civ, I was good enough to be considered a second coming of the great Polish general/ruler King Jan III Sobieski.

In actuality, I was only a mediocre player.

 

[Erik Mesoy]

I use my own name. Hello, this is me speaking.

 

[Corlindale]

Corlindale started as a name I thought up for the raven familiar of my Sorceror in Neverwinter Nights, later it became the name of a D&D character itself(a pacifistic mage, of all things), and eventually I grew so fond of it that I started to use as my alias online.

 

[ArneHD]

Arne is my first name. H stands for Husevåg, which is my middle name. D stands for Døskeland which is my last name.

 

[Birdjaguar]

Bird Jaguar was a RL Mayan King and the name goes well with his glyph as an avatar.

 

[Chandrasekhar]

Very uncivil, to be sure, but creative?

I mean, I don't mind being yelled and sworn at and threatened, but it takes more than that.

I had an uncle that really didn't like missionaries very much. He became notorious for answering the door absolutely naked, with a bottle of whisky in one hand and his manhood in the other. Would you call that "creative?"

 

[Kraznaya]

The California one.

And it's okay, we were used to the uncivil. We just wished people could be more creative in being uncivil to us.

Yikes, I might have met you without knowing it.

Eh, it's a step up from "I'm a Satan worshipper" (hint: we know you're lying).

Yikes, I might have met you without knowing it.

Well, did you ever run into any who spoke Spanish?

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

Come to my door, if you wish.

I can introduce you to whole new worlds of uncivility.

I had a friend who had a real problem with Jehovah's Witnesses coming to his door all the time. So one day, he and two of his friends dressed up as devils, and when they answered the door, yelled down the hallway: "Satan! The Jehovahs are here!"

They never had a problem with them again.

 

[Kraznaya]

Well, did you ever run into any who spoke Spanish?

I doubt anyone would try to speak Spanish to me... if I ever used the "I no speak Engrish" excuse (which I don't recall that I did) they would have tried a hail of Mandarin or Cantonese at me, considering that I am Asian and it is Arcadia.
