My name originally came about when I was pondering with some friends in college what name I could use online to sign up for some browser-RPG. This what about the time Britain had sent a probe to Mars and ...well it went missing or something didn't it? So, we then theorised that it had been picked up by the aliens who then decided to send their own probe back to Earth.

Thus, the name MarsProbe was born and I've used it in various forms ever since. The 88 was tagged on as, when signing up to X-Box Live, the nema "MarsProbe" was already taken. 88 is just the number of the bus that goes past my place the most often...:p

Edit: Hahah, I just noticed that my name here doesn't have "88" on the end. Duh!

I chose Alliednations because I thought it was unique - I still haven't found any trouble when choosing a Steam account, LIVE Tag, or Forum Username. I'm also a history buff, and made up the name when I was in my WWII-Phase...

But it works, cause it also pays tribute to the Allied Nations of WWII, the brave men and women that stood up to fight the tyranny that spread throughout the world.

I picked my gamertag/forum name Pominator due to the fact that I am English (known to the Ozzies as Pom's and the fact that I generally kick... bottom on multiplayer games, latin for destroy happens to be "inate", therefore my name literally means "English Destroyer"

LGC is my clan tag because I belong to the Legendary gaming community

It should be noted that I do not follow, I actually have my own teachings. Thing is, his rule is public, and he is the one with power. I have aligned and allied myself with him, which he sees as making me his follower. I am beneath him because I act as an operative in his military forces. I do, however, have my own forces and following, ones which I got on my own without him giving them to me, separate of the fleet he bestowed on me.

As for the user name Emperor Inferno, Inferno has been a part of my life for a long time now. I love fire and Inferno is a manifestation of that, along with everything that I hope and aspire to be. He is my alter ego, my cooler (and admittedly, more rarely seen) half. Emperor just sounds cool to me.

My belief in the 'Almighty', and my willingness to follow His word and 'try' to live it...although being human, it's pretty darn hard.

It's an event from the Wheel of Time cycle by Robert Jordan.
It's the end of the world or the day of reckoning..... People who read the books know what I mean.

Is'nt it rather obvious that this thread has allreay been made?

Now I'll hand it to you. The OP of the other thread made it a bit too difficult to understand that this was about user names too. But a quick search should have revealed it anyway.

This might even not be the first of that exact kind of thread. I think someone needs to try and wipe the dust of the searching box =P

So? If we never made a thread that was similar to other threads, the production of anything new here would grind to a halt. Seriously, in all the pages, multiple threads are going to pop up. If I don't see the same thread idea in the last 4 pages of topics, I make a new one. Because if it's been pushed back that far, it's probably been gone for a while.
Mhm, mhm, mhm. You know why it's not in the first four pages? Because threads are duplicated. Now in my honest opinion, I think it would be great if all the most commen, obvious threads were kept down to one, so you don't have to search through pages with the exact same thread all over it.

Just my humble opinion. I can understand why some want to fill as many pages as possible .. Or wait ... Maybe not.
