Hmm, a duplicate of my post crept in, bizarro.

Ah, mine is the wholly unfortunate cross between Marvin the Martian (Duck Dodgers in the 25th-and-a half century ring a bell?) and Ambassador Kosh, from B5.

I've stuck with it for a while now.... must be a couple of years or so

I guess I just like the notion of using it for everything, from my e-mail address to all my screen names, to my actual writing pseudonym. It's not quite as funky as Calvin Klein, but it'll do

Kind of like in the Ian M Banks Culture novels, where the super-AI ship Minds choose their own names, memorable examples being the "Fate Amenable to Change", the "Grey Area" and the warship "A Frank Exchange of Views".

A friend of mine plays the "Culture" in one of my PBEM games. As I oppose him I have just constructed the first "Bora Horza Gobuchul" class ship.

[K126] is a clan tag from "Team Fortress" and "Counter Strike". In real life it is the first character of a street were some friends and I used to meet to play RPGs. Second is the actual building number.
Mephisto is from the classic German book "Faust" written by Goethe. Mephisto is kind of a devil, however not really evil. He is the "wag" (my dictionary give these words for "Schalk": rogue, wag, fool). This stuck to me from my high school time.

This line reminded me of a show I used to watch. Where in the World is Carmen Sandiago. (Spelling is off probably) But that show was awesome. I can't remember the chicks name though. She was funny. Well back in the day she was. But now she's annoying. haha... Anyone else remember this show?

Tribes was the best MP game of all time. It kicked CS/TF all to hell. Still does.

I enjoyed tribes multi-player. I think I missed out on the best parts because I never joined a team there.

My best experience in multi-player gaming was MechCommander, playing through the Starlance league.

I still count myself as a member of a former team from that league (Black Thorns). We communicate frequently, all patiently waiting for a new experience that mirrors that which we enjoyed while Starlance and Mechcommander were in full swing.

Cheers!
