What is the etymology of your moniker?

Wizard

Arcane

......

Wizarc

In my AD&D days I was a damn good gamemaster. Always loved Wizard characters and the Arcane.

[Atrocities]

Atrocities - Because it sounded threatening and such for use with MP games like Tribes, Diablo, Quake (1 and 2), etc.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Well, there was an episode of Pinky and The Brain where Pinky's weird exclamative words saved the day. They had been captured by an evil computer who claimed to know everything; The Brain asked it what Narf meant. The computer didn't know and asked what it meant. The Brain then informed the computer that Narf meant Poit. Then the computer asked what Poit meant. TB said it meant Chez. The computer asked what Chez meant. The Brain said Narf. And the computer went round and round until it blew up.

I saw that episode the day before I signed up, I think.

[DarkHorse]

DarkHorse is for my poly sci major in college. The dark horse candidate is usually the long-shot underdog type, which suits me. It's a hard nick to get on most forums though, as the name is popular because of the comics.

Finally the truth comes out. For the longtest time I thought it was French for something, until I tried to get google to translate it

[Caduceus]

Wildcard - I was always considered an undetermined sum in schoLastics and athletics.

06 - One of my favorite shows The Prisoner.

[bearclaw]

When I was still an active member of the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism), I started a fighing unit of heavy fighters. The name of the unit was to be Bearclaw. Archers were to be called Teeth of the Bear. I took the name because where I live, our town mascot is the Kermode bear, a rare spieces of black bear that has white fur that only live in this part of the world. The fighting unit never got anywhere but I started using the name (with a small 'b') Online.

For those who don't know, the SCA is a mediveal recreation club.

Chances are there is a chapter near you.

Oh, and incase you were wondering, the Kermodi bear is NOT an albino. It is an actual sub-species of black bear.

[gregebowman]

My "etymology" is simple. I just got lazy and used most of my e-mail address to have a handle on here. I usually don't go by having my middle initial in my name, but when my server was creating my account, they asked for my first name. I gave Greg, as I prefer that to Gregory, but then they asked for my middle initial and then my Last name. They created my e-mail account using the info I gave them. If I do use my middle initial, I prefer using my full first name, but I didn't know how they were going to create my e-mail account that way. Oh well. I can live with that.

I was tempted to use my old handle I used when I lived in Phoenix and got my first modem. I was known as Nanoc back then, but when I tried using that name on a couple of sites after I got my pc, I found out a lot of people were using that handle. So I'm just using gregebowman for most of the sites that require a user id.

[General Woundwort]

Well, as a parting shot...

General Woundwort is the half-mad tyrranical villain in Richard Adams' book Watership Down. Nothing at all do do with SEIV, I just like the book.
