Total War

TOTAL WAR FTW.

Rome is best! It was alll teh rage when I was in school. You'd go in and be like 'Lol, I smashed a horse with an Elephant c:'. Nowadays people just go;

'..'

'You still play that game?'

[Vortex_Master]

I play Rome all the time. (Actually just finished playing to check the Forum.) But I won't be on for this week because I have to go out of town.

[bocboc]

The four first letters of my last name were boca, it's also my nickname IRL, and over time, it becomes also bocboc ...

It's funny that in VW, there's players from everywhere, so i was suprised when some english native talking asked if I was a chicken
After a little search, i understand why they asked me that .... cause in english chicken say "boc boc "^^
I'm french, and in french, chicken say "cot cot" ^^

I'm not a chicken !

Another time, i've meet some turkish players and they're laughing on my name, i dunno why ...
And they explain to me that in turkish "boc" (but in fact it's written "bok", but it sounds the same) means shit ... so my name in turkish is "shit-shit" ...
I'm not a shit !

To conclude, i don't play a lot of browser game, but usually i use bocboc or bocaXXXX where X are some numbers as my name ...

[BeatlesFan]

I am bumping this to the top as I hope that more players will post and that should be interesting.

[Fangfallen]

My name eh? I'll go back..way back to the start. My first ever gaming name was Meridius. That was back when I was eight. My dad picked it for me. I disliked it because I didn't come up with it. My next name (also at 8) was "Litledude" yup, I spelled little wrong.... At about 12 I decided to make a new one... Jaeheedo, which almost became my vortexwars name. I kept old jaeheedo for a long long time. Since I was 17 I've been using Fang for everything. Fangfallen is the full name for a RPG I played with some friends. Fang is the first name. I've gown extremely attached to the name. If you see others with my name it is most likely me. Oh yeah, I have one other alias. I keep it secret for the same reasons as Royalblue.

[Autumnwolf17]

Just realized I never posted here. I'm kind of shocked. Most of you already know it, but you know, let's go for it again.

Autumn = The most common season for birthdays, including mine. It is also my favorite season, due to temperature and the look and smell of fallen leaves, and my favorite color.

Wolf = The animal I feel best represents me. Wolves are the most commonly featured animals in western folklore, typically portraying evil or fear. However, they are also considered noble animals, featured as symbols of ferocity or strength. Wolves are loyal and free, two traits I try to imitate in myself.

17 = The number seventeen has several good mathematical properties, half of which mean nothing to me. Seventeen is the Feller number, the least random number (between 1 and 20), and the number of syllables in a haiku, as well as a bunch of other things.

Fun fact: I originally meant to be Aurumwolf17, Aurum being the Latin word for gold (AU on the periodic table), but autocorrect didn't like that. The above reasons for Autumn are why I decided to keep it.

[Vortex_Master]

Well, the leaves are golden in Autumn, so at least you have that.

[Autumnwolf17]

Well, the leaves are golden in Autumn, so at least you have that.

I'm happy I ended up as Autumn. It fits me better.

[clan ghost bear]

My fave faction in a ol game most of you won't know is "Clan Ghost Bear", I liked them and went with that as my username, originally used on Vortexwars and only Vortexwars.

I've moved on to Lunatic242 on other pages. mix of a fandom, Motorstorm reference (1 of my fave game), and 242 is a number that means "Some bad luck" or "Lucky bad Luck" in some cultures.

[Fangfallen]

Well this name is just a faction in some game...
I only used it on vortex wars in hope to find some other Battle tech or Mechwarrior fans, which I found 5 lucky me.

other name is the changed name and faction mash, "Ghost Bear Dominion" and my Alliance/ game clan name is "Ghost Bear Legion" so I may use those as well...
My other names are similar, got all the ideas from the same game.

eg
Nightshade (in game, a stealth VTOL multirole aircraft, irl, a pretty pruple flower xD)
Nightwind (In game helicopter)
Legendkiller (nic named war machine, the same way how people name bombers or ships, first B-2 bombers name was "Spirit of America")

and for fun bassed of Legendkiller, Legendary Potato.

24 ir 242 on the end if name taken, it technicly means Your luck sucks or you luck sucks x2, aka a lucky token for me, same with the Ace of spades, always have one of those cards in my poket somewhere with me.

and I got surprise surprise, on MW: O forum, Lunatic242.
bassed of the motto from motorstorm.

I can go on and on about my user name, but that is all info that kinda is important.
