Some have said that creating alts is nearly as addictive as crack. Ask Fuzzy and Napkin for proof.

This one is no alt. Here's the story and it goes back about 13 years.

I started online gaming with Tribes back around 1999. I couldn't think of a great name, so I went with my email account name which I was not so fond of, blue72super. (I had a 1972 super Beetle I was going to paint metallic blue so I could sell it for profit) So I used that name for Tribes, MSN games, Return to Wlfenstien, BF1942, Tony Hawk, and Call of Duty: The Big Red One.

In 2008, I got my PS3 as a birthday present, but I had to trade in my PS2. It was my wife's demand. At that time, PSN did not require a PSN name. In January 2009, I bought Rock BAnd which did require a PSN name. As I was trying to figure out a user name (still after 10 years, I couldn't think of one) My son at 7 months old and having never seen drums before, picked up the sticks, stood up, and beat the hell out of the drum kit. I said to my wife that Lucas was rocking out. I thought, well that could work for a name until I figure one out. Since then I was Lucasrocks1. Never cared that much for the name, but it was a "working title."

So, a month or so ago, I wanted to just play with randoms because I felt stuck, always needing to do the same stuff that I was good at because it helped my team win. It was getting old. So I decided to make an alt that no one knew about so I could practice other things and have more intense matches because, let's face it, when we get together, we stomp pub matches.

I started thinking about what the name would be and I decided to take some of the names of people I knew and find synonyms for the words they used in their names. I started with Lynx (duh) and the best I could come up with was GreenCat. Heck no. I thought of JM-Gamer94 and OmariOnFire and thought, not me. I went to Lord_BlueFungus and said its not me because it says I am way too good. Then I thought of TySupreme. I thought Ty was his name so person. I looked up person and Spirit stuck out. I looked up Supreme and Sovereign stood out as well. So I put the two together and said SpiritSovereign. Heck no. I reversed it and SovereignSpirit. It wasn't bad and it sounded pretty darn good.

After I started using it I realized it was what I had been looking for. Not too "I'm 13 and uber cool", not "i am the friggen best, don't try me", not "I am lame so I picked a name that reflected that." It felt right.

TL;DR- It took me 13 years to figure what user name I wanted and this is what I finally picked. Get over it. No more alts. Never really like alts except on GFQ to throw off the mods.

Fine. Forgiven. Etc.

...Hey that's a cool ID. FineForgivenEtc.

by Nelsyboy Wed Mar 14, 2012 2:34 pm

Makes sense to me. I often wish I had thought of a cool name rather than just using the silly nickname that my father and little sis call me. I have kinda got used to everyone calling me Nelsy now though Smile

by **Felixlynch777** Wed Mar 14, 2012 6:03 pm
