Story behind your nick... - Page 3

Zink Whistlefly · 10-10-2005, 05:08 AM

Zink Whistlefly is the name of one of my NWN characters - elven male fighter finesse build with some levels of bard and arcane archer. It was my first character that I tried a no-reloads run through Shadows of Undrentide with. It didn't go too well since as soon as I left Drogans, one single kobold handed by ass to me by scoring a single critical hit. I've since completed the no-reloads run, but Zink Whistlefly was the first to try. It's also a suitably silly and unique name.

Good call Zink, I googled me, and actually got a link to my website, on the second page...Seems there are lots of Robert Bards out there, 10 pages worth...Cool, none the less.

I got my username from some ventilation grating at my old workplace; 'Stratos Floormaster' was the brand name IIRC. I registered at IW from a computer at work and after having tried many differrent usernames, all already taken, I settled for Stratos.

hehe, If I google for "hivetyrant" I only get about 1,800 results...
But fi I put a space in between so it spells "hive tyrant" I get about 100,000......

We were rolling new characters for a PnP D&D campaing, I chose to play a lawful evil gnomish evoker who ran around naked... Called him LIttle GNOmish BAstard, Lignoba for short. He was actually extremely powerful... I miss playing him...

Back when I was a Lumberjack, I was in charge of yelling the all-clear call ("Timberrrrrrr!!!") when we would fell a tree. What can I say -- it stuck.

I was looking at a picture of gollum on a calendar at the time I was making this account, and decided to mangle the name a bit and put a sir in front.

I had a dream a while back about this great space opera where one of the characters was the 7 foot tall, furry, bad-tempered sidekick to a smooth-talking fast-drawing smuggler. When I woke up I was sitting on my PC signing up for Ironworks when the furry sidekicks name drifted into my consciousness. Of course some dude named George stole my dreams out of my dream journal and took a time machine back to the 1970s and made a bunch of movies out of them. Damn you time travel! *shakes fist* [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Don't let Chewie fool you folks. He got that nickname because he's hairy and needs grooming and because so very few of us can interpret his guttural growling posts as anything but just "animal noises."
