Your alias

[colontos]

"Red" in Romanized Russian.

It's feminine gender though, any reason for that? You could have been Krasnij.

Mine is a nickname my friend gave me when we were little kids. My name is Colin, and it's meant to sound like some pseudo-Spanish version of that. Plus I can always have this nickname without having to add a number to it since it's unusual.

 

[CaptainF]

It was just some stupid crap I thought up when I started using the internet about 5 odd years ago.

Just kinda stuck with it. As you can guess, its just "Dog Food" spelled differently, with some numbers at the end.

 

[GoodEnoughForMe]

Well, I couldn't think of much, but I figured the one I ended up choosing is good enough for me.

 

[Kraznaya]

It's feminine gender though, any reason for that? You could have been Krasnij.

Because I like feminized genders of words (which are almost universally recognizable with the softer endings), they add confusion about the gender of the poster while not being sometimes openly disdained like crossgender avatars/icons.

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

Goddamn Blueist.

Fair enough though, I call my trump card - Tarkin

I didn't really like Tarkin. Although, he did build the Maw Installation. Let's go with Ysanne Isard. I mean, who doesn't love old Iceheart?

 

[Kyriakos]

Varwnos is the greekified word for the latin "baron".
It has to do with my happy childhood

 

[bigdog5994]

I was called bigdog all through high school so i guess its kinda like a nickname and the 5994 part is blind willie mctells prison number in the song death cell blues

 

[Perfection]

It's because I'm perfect.

 

[azzaman333]

This kind of thread has been around before, and I explained it there. If you care so much, you can search for it yourself.

 

[Tykinruoka]

My usual nick was taken and it annoyed me to no end. I'm using this nick only on this forum. If possible, I'll change it.

 

[Heretic_Cata]

Cata is short for Cătălin, which is a guy name btw.

Heretic because of my faith which is dependant on my mood - my faith is a wildly fluctuating system of beliefs based an many world religions and agnosticism.

 

[Jawz II]

Cause I used to be an actor, I havent been for many years, but back in the 70s and the 80s, I got most of my roles. Small roles mostly, nothing to brag about really.

The most famous one I got was as the great white shark in the second Jaws movie, hence my nickname.

 

[Chukchi Husky]

I found it in an encyclopaedia, but now I know it's wrong.

 

[Sidhe]

I happened to be reading up on Celtic mythology before I played civ3ptw, for the first time, the rest is history.

Sidhe.

I used to model my gaming style on the Watcher on the hill, the bringer of madness,god of Chaos known by many names Crom Cruach, but also sometimes as Sidhe.

I was nicknamed psyho killer by one player because I funked with peoples minds alot, pitty such diplomacy became unpopular in C3c & CIV.

 

[Tee Kay]

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.

 

[Phlegmak]

What is the history behind your alias? Why did you pick it?

I had to come up with something and I took this from an alien species from the game Starflight. The fact that it's an alien species kind of fits nicely with my avatar.

 

[Hitti-Litti]

I just thought something, that would be original and eaily shortened. So I chose Hitti-Litti, which can be shortened to Hitti or HL.

 

[Lambert Simnel]

Lambert Simnel was a pretender to the throne of England. An imposter. Seemed pretty fitting for an internet forum moniker.

It's also the name of a song by one of my favourite bands...lyrics

 

[Sidhe]

It's because I'm perfect.

Well since I'm currently writing my PhD thesis in psychology about your particular disorder, I'd find it hard to argue, as this may exsacerbate the condition.

Oopps forget I said anything

 

[Atlas14]

Atlas is the last name of some kid from my middle school that was a history genius among other subjects (later to become some other high school's valedictorian). I was mainly interested in the history forum at the time, so I thought of him immediately and used his last name.
