    People like you should be banned and forbidden from ever making another account. Go play WoW with the rest of the immature brats that infest that game. You can have fun with your stupid **** names there. They don't belong here.

    Take a breath "sniperkitty"... Its a game, not a historical re-enactment. You sound like you know how to relax and have fun..

    SniperKitty is my forum handle, not my in game name. None of my characters names are stupid or silly names. I make my characters names fit the gameworld instead of being a stupid [expletive ninja'd by Faarbot] named like Huflungg Poo or something. Names like that don't belong in the game. Period. Not ever.

    The only good thing about names like that, is they're big flashing neon signs that say, "Don't group with me. I'm an immature [expletive ninja'd by Faarbot] moron!" Not having those stupid names around would mean it would be harder to pick the idiots out of the crowd.
  10. ARCHIVED-xripperx Guest

    It all comes down to having a sense of humor. Some people do and some do not. Not everyone with a creative name is going to be a moron as you mentioned. I use to have a rogue named Xcon Vict. That must make me a moron too, even though I had people sending me tells, "Hey that was pretty creative and funny!" They must be morons too.
  11. ARCHIVED-SniperKitty Guest

    Yup.
  12. ARCHIVED-xripperx Guest

    [expletive ninja'd by Faarbot], you sound like a party...

    Haruchai Bloodguard - named after my EQ monk who was named after a race of people in Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever books by Stephen Donaldson.

    My main is called Kinslaughterer (SK in EQL , Inquis in EQ2)
  15. ARCHIVED-Sceptic42 Guest

    Tabula Rasa.

    It means "Scraped Tablet" in Latin (though is often translated as "Blank Slate"). He's a Dark Elf who defected to Qeynos, so I liked the idea of his past being forcibly expunged. The full implication of this phrase is that people are born inherently "blank" and that their persona is entirely defined by their actions after birth (fitting for one who was deemed evil merely by his birth race). Also, the blank slate translation (which I figured would be understood by more people) works with the Monk and his quest for inner stillness.

    Shadowfist Tenpaws

    Shadowfist - well...I am an old school kung fu movie junkie and that sounds to me like some arcane style some guy pulls out of his list of mastered techniques and wins the day.
