Username inspiration
« on: May 30, 2024, 12:09:00 AM »
This could be fun and idk if i’ve ever seen a thread about this, does your username have an inspiration or backstory behind it ? mine is just a name of a three six mafia song. so any good stories that lead to your nickname on this forum ?

I was deep in a D&D campaign a decade or two back and invented this name for an orc who guarded a Green Door in a dungeon we were playing. I took inspiration for the name from the German for ‘Green Door’ but I wasn’t sure what the German for ‘door’ was so I just made something up on the spot instinctively. Can’t remember all the stats but he was 4d6 and pretty shitty like 9/12/9/9/8/10 or something like that.

GFK is my favorite HipHop artist and I'm a guy on the internet with no face.

Used to play loads of Dungeon Siege, Diablo etc and would always call my Dwalf characters KneeKillah.

Alice In Wonderland has long been a favourite book of mine.

My last username (poor Alice) was based on mishearing some Jefferson Airplane lyrics to White Rabbit and after losing access to that account I wanted to continue the Wonderland theme.

my name is robert and i was a big fan of sewa when he came out, i was like 13 at the time. a friend from back then flipped my full name and started calling me roba rutkov, when you pronounce it with our accent it sounds pretty much like kroetkov and it stuck as my nickname since

I can't remember the user's name but when I first started lurking here some guy was talking about getting flowed mini logo decks. Being flowed by Powell's price point brand just sounded so ridiculous to me it got stuck in my head.

It’s one of my favorite tricks.
Lost my old account, and always thought Rusty Bearings was a good name, and for whatever reason I thought Shifty Flip had a similar ring

Just letter swap Sean Malto. He's nice, slap has the reputation of being mean and salty seemed dumb/funny enough for half a second.
