Bruce The Aussie · 11-13-2002, 05:45 PM

the reason for my name depends who the person i'm telling is.
if i want to sound smart i'll say its a statement about a asteriotypical sociaty. wich its not.
to my friends at school, its becuase i can down WAY too much alcohole, like australians s'posidly can (well, least the ones called bruce)

but the real reason is, becuase it sounded good. i played BG2 with the name, and kept it from then on.

Sir Goulum · 11-13-2002, 05:47 PM

Well, I took Gollum's name (from LoTR) and fiddled with it and added the Sir.

Can see how you did this, Mage and Warlock are spelt so similar.......joking once again. In one of those moods!

Anyway, Warlock sounds far better!

I got mine from WarCraft II. It was the name of the commander of the armies of Azeroth. I was so sad when he died.

NiceWorg · 11-13-2002, 08:25 PM

I really regret this name. It comes from nice work, and when I fought against worgs in BG1, and Im good aligned, somehow I ended up using it. Yeah, but what can you do about it anymore?

True_Moose · 11-13-2002, 08:33 PM

Ok follow my thought processes.

For those that know "Oh Canada" there is a verse with the "True North strong and free."

So, what better Canadian, free, and maybe not strong but certainly big, creature than a Moose?

Posted this a while back, but I'm a fairly big guy and I used to have somewhat of a short fuse. A half a dozen cops, way too much whiskey, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Lord of Alcohol · 11-13-2002, 08:42 PM

Did someone say whiskey?

Err to get back on topic I have no idea why I'm Lord of Alcohol. I cant remember.

Lord Corwin · 11-13-2002, 08:58 PM

Hey Neuromancer

As is obvious I am a big Zelazny fan to. Normally I use Shadowjack.
From Roger Zelazny`s book,Jack of Shadows.
Been using it for about 20 years or so. But when I came here... I just decided to go with another fave of mine from Roger Zelazny... Corwin.

Hope I am not the one that beat you to it. I am Lord Corwin on here... because.. he did crown himself King... even if it was only for a few minutes..

I always use names from Zelazny`s books. Shadowjack,Corwin,Dilvish you get the idea...

Bummer this board doesn`t have an option,that will let you know when a thread has been posted to. Well if you open the thread.. it does.. but most boards,if you post to a thread.. and choose so... you will get an email everytime someone posts to it.... so you can keep track of it..
