    Me.

    Avatar because
    I freaking made it myself:D:D:D
    It has the Marine emblem
    it also has the stripe that signifies my duty in the first Desert storm war
    the red thingy you see is because it is the emblem for the Second Marine Division Camp Lejune North Carolina
    the writing Semper Fi
    because it means
    Always faithful
    to The one God
    The Marines
    and to my Family

    The name

    Well because it means
    bedeviled. Pocessed by a crazy force that allows me to be crazy and yet sane:D:D
    also use it all over the place as my screen name:D:

    How about you guys???:D:D:D

    I chose a pic of me when I was young cause that's the way I try to feel. Used to use a stock one, but EClayton had it also. Playing around making one. My friends call me boccemon because of my love of the game, and it just stuck.

    Avatar because
    I spent almost a year
    with 10th Mountain
    in Afghanistan
    so I feel I earned it.

    The name
    I have been using it
    since the early to mid 1990's
    for my gaming name.
    (started with "Pull my finger"
    and everyother name I have had in online gaming
    has had finger in it) :)

    I picked lostkiwi because I am from New Zealand and live in the U.S. I use tweety bird because I don't know how to go and find a kiwi gif etc. I probably could and might one day, I know exactly what I want, but for now I'll keep tweety. I like tweety. Such a happy little bird. :rolleyes:

    Hi Endi...'puter has been off line for a few days...my modem went to crap...had to get a new one...:mad: ....freakin' dial-up.

    Now back to subject...

    My avatar come about 'cause my nickname was Wally Gator when I was in elementary school, which shortened to Gator when I hit my teens...which my best friend still calls me today.

    My user name came from the name of the computer shop I used to have.

    So I added six shooter to the avatar of course to tie the two together.

    G.T. R.I.P February 4, 2007. You will be missed.

    G.T. is just my initials. Originally I tried to use just GT without the periods, but that was too short to be accepted by the board software. Nothing fancy, but I've liked them since I was old enough to get interested in cars.

    I don't have any one sacred avatar. I've used several as the whim hit.
     
  45. Phantom

    Phantom Brigadier Britches

    The name "Phantom" is just one that's been used in computer circles in regard to myself for a loooong time (about 16 years, or so). It's kinda like I'm there, but not really there, if you catch my drift. ;) Also I used to read The Phantom comic books as a kind (seemed a little more believable than some spaced out alien guy from 'Krypton' flying around).

    "Brigadier Banana":- Is a long story Courtesy of Kodo. ;)

    Re:- The Avatar - I think you can figure that out for yourselves.

  47. Gottheit

    Gottheit General Logic

    Name:

    I picked my name because I've been really interested in the German language for a long time. I had just learned the word "Gottheit" (almost literally translated means "god-like" but I prefer the more accurate, but still very related, definition "divinity") before I signed up to MG. This is the first place I debuted my new nick. Prior to Gottheit, I went by the name Metra...Kind of a play off one of my favorite games, Metroid.

    Avatar:

    It's a screenshot of God from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I picked it for two reasons:

    1. It's funny.
    2. It coincides with my name.

    Signature:

    The best quote from God in the Holy Grail. I picked it to go along with my avatar.

    Yes...My name is euphoria...Well..No one told me to choose it...Cos I am constantly in a state of euphoria u see..Y is my avatar this?Cos it looks to be the most "ongoing" n messy (to me of cos) which happens to coincide with my personality as well... :D
     
  49. fleppen

    fleppen Gumshoe

    nickname was gotten when playing C&C: Tiberian Sun online - I needed a login name, friend of mine had two, I got this one, stuck with it just cause I'm too lazy to go about the process of thinking up a new one :p

    the avatar... I think it's Phantom who made it for me, he also made some other members's avatars, man he was on an avatar-creating spree back then :D

    the custom title, it means "Private first class" only then in Dutch, 'cause I live in the Netherlands and CP asked me to tell him some ranks in Dutch :)
