There needs to be a sarcasm filter so that it's always flagged.

I was a kid and had read LoTR when I came up with this so I decided to come up with a Quenyan name. What became of it...figures.

Sadly my first serious character was a half-Zentradi Veritech jock   :sh

ROBOTECH!!!  :D

My screen name hails from antiquity near forgotten.  A time before the internet was used by more than a few thousand people, and modem speeds were listed in 4-digit numbers.
I drank a crap-ton of Jolt cola, and back in the MS-DOS days, the zero had a little slash through it that looked kinda similar to the lightning bolt going through the O on the can of Jolt, so I went with j0lt.

I've got a small pack of usernames, depending on the game, although the primary one is Stratovarius, which I've had in one form or another for about 10 years now. Originally went by -CD-Stratus, then went to a game (Strifeshadow) where Stratus was taken. Changed names to Stratovarius then, and kept the name ever since.

Nothin' better than a nice bottle of Jolt's Cherry Bomb Cola while gaming!   :cheers

"Krzysztof" is an obtuse Eastern European spelling of "Christoph," the most letters of "Christopher" that would fit onto a Scan-Tron form.

Remember those? The forms that told the school bureaucracy who you were? The forms that didn't have enough spaces for a fairly common name?

The first day of school, the teacher would invariably say "Christoph" when calling the roll, to which I said "Da."

So "Christoph" became my Fake Russian name, which I changed to "Krzysztof" because, let's face it, why not?

And I added "Darth" when I became a Sith Lord, but that's another show.
