    Mine stems from the fact that I am a resident of England.

    No, I'm not the most creative of chaps

    Re: How did you think up your interweb monicker?

    Red Dwarf link, originally (dialup days) I played under the name of Mr Flibble

    I then shortend it to Flibb due to most people calling me Flibb in game. Think I played the original Rainbow 6 back in 1998 as Mr Flibble, then moved to Flibb in DoD.

    Re: How did you think up your interweb monicker?

    I discovered Oil in my garden while trying to plant some seeds.

    Ever since then I have been secretly selling off oil to Saudi Arabia.
    You didn't really think that they had oil under the sand, did u? Course not! They r getting it all off me.





    *On a serious note, I work for a large Petroleum company and hence my nick is an association to my work. On HALO 1 PC and on PS3, I use X1 ZFORCE as I was part of the X1 clan during their glory days.

    Was looking around for a username for some forum somewhere and i was listening to DJ Format at the time - so chose that and I've stuck with it since

    Re: How did you think up your interweb monicker?

    Mine was originally "Master Blaster", came up with it out of nowhere when I first started online gaming when I was about 11 Found that it was a bit long for some games so it got shortened to Mblaster.

    I use a load of different names these days as I'm not in any clans anymore, most often seen as BruteForce, I came up with this name while fighting 'Brutes' in the original Unreal ages ago but only started using it much more recently.
    I don't mean to sound cold, or cruel, or vicious, but I am so that's the way it comes out.

    Re: How did you think up your interweb monicker?

    I use quite a few involving my real name, but for Hexus I tried something different and literally just thought of a random word to use as my username. I thought Haiku would be taken so I put 32 on the end because it rhymes .

    Cap'n Sharkbait - The Sword Test Dummy.

    Mine all revolve around this.

    Cap'n Sharkbait
    Cap'n Shark
    Sharky
    Shark

    I like Pirates and my friend said I wouldn't last two days, I'd be pushed overboard - thus Sharkbait, another friend said I'd be so bad at fighting I may as well be a cutout - The Sword Test Dummy
