What's in a name?

[The Infamous Scamola]

That I'm infamous, and I scam people.

To me though, you'll always be that Freud guy who did the Yahtzee thread on WarCry.

At the OP: Probably that I'm the craziest of everyone! [small](Which is true)[/small]
And that I am a sort of large rabbit [small](probably less true)[/small]

Pedantically at the title: What's in a name? 5 letters and a space.

Actually, just four letters. I asked "What's in a name?" not "What's in "a name?"" I don't think most people would count the article as the subject.

The way it's read is easily changed just by changing the inflection on the 'a', so it can be taken either way. And as I said, it was purely out of pedanticity (Is that a real word? Oh well, it is now) which itself is caused by rather large amounts of pure boredom xD

Yeah, I know. I just thought the most comedically banal thing to do would be to correct you.

Everyone who sees my username for the first time thinks I'm a dude, but then they sees my profile, and my picture on my profile and corrects there mistake.

I never read your name, I just see your avatar and mentally highfive.

Awesome. *high fives*

I frown upon people who judge others by a username, they made their choice and they had every right to. It's like judging a book by its cover.

 

[curlycrouton]

People have absolutely no idea what mine's about, which is fine by me.

 

[megalomania]

I don't think my user name has ever attracted much attention, unless people secretly PM each other about a possible correlation behind my back...

...you're all plotting against me aren't you! *Paranoia attack*

I was hoping for a real freakout too. The reaction I got was, one guy tried to have me baned, and everyone else just kind of sat there saying "no, he's talking about the board game, not Yahtzee." And then I came clean.

You guys ditched me. It would have been so much better if a whole bunch of Escapists went to WarCry to talk about "Yahtzee."

Internet rule: always assume you are talking to a dude unless you are presented with unquestionable evidence; chances are its either a 55 year old pedo, or a police officer on a sting operation!

Hope you don't find that offensive, danger of covert cops is enough to keep me on the straight and narrow!

*Jokes*

No..

[maxusy3k]

About the only things I tend to get with my name is that people think the primary part of it is one word; 'maxusy' where it is, y'know, maxus Y3K. Other than that nobody's ever really picket at it before or noted it for something.

There was one time where an internet famous dude missed out the 'x' and as such started referring to me as 'mouse' (from the German 'maus' in case you don't follow) but that's like, it.

Off topic edit:

I have only had someone try to claim that because my name is not capitalised that they can not take me as seriously... idiots. -.-;
I would actually like to capitalise it but its too late now.

Your avatar is 100% approved!

 

[NeutralMunchHotel]

That I've got another persona. Little do they know that Gilbert Munch is a character I invented and my avatar is Luke Atmey of Phoenix Wright fame. Not at all the same people...

Or both.

 

[Beowulf DW]

I have absolutely no idea what people think when they see my user name. Sure, you could surmise that I like the legend of Beowulf, but I think most people probably wonder what the "DW" stands for.

 

[GeoPB]

I just like my name. Well the first three letters of my name anyway.

I have absolutely no experience playing Yahtzee, so it would have been quite hard to actually get a discussion going, although I do remember posting something in that thread...

But yeah, WarCry is dead now, so I guess that's the end of tht.a

Mine's just my initials, playing it safe ftw.

Apparently not.
