King Mark 3,631 Posted October 7, 2002 Share Posted October 7, 2002 I already asked this in a past message board,but now there is so many new members I thought it would be interesting to repeat.Another way to put it is how you came about choosing your screename and why?King Mark is a name I would always use when I used to play role playing computer games like the Ultima series.K.M.

KittBash 282 Posted October 7, 2002 Share Posted October 7, 2002 Mine came about because of the weird way I was named when I was born My first name is Brian and my middle name is Jeremy but everyone has always used Jeremy. So Years ago when I started sigining up for things on the internet I went and used Brian, the 99 came when I noticed that on this particular site Brian was already used and so was Brian99 SO I added the _1 and it has been my username for almost every internet thing I ever use. Exciting huh! Brian99_1 - who has though about changing the name several times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted October 7, 2002 Share Posted October 7, 2002 I'm Joe in Arkansas, Little Rock to be exact. Its wholly original and and a vastly exciting screen name.And as Stefan will sometimes note my first name is Walter, but only the nuns in 1st to 6th grade ever called me that.To my friends and family I have always been Joe, Joey, JoJo, Little Joe(my dad was big Joe), but never Joseph since that isn't my name.I use the same screen name in all film and music forums, but in my sports forums I am known as joehogjoe, which is similar to the football cheer Go Hogs Go, I forgot to put the s on hogs in my screen name.I was Stefancos 2, but when we move here someone else registered that name.

The Five Tones 302 Posted October 7, 2002 Share Posted October 7, 2002 "If everything is ready here on the dark side of the moon, play the five tones." -- Close Encounters of the Third KindThe CE3K motif is one that goes beyond likes and dislikes, beyond style and fashion or historical context; it's simply a signal: a symbol of cosmic intelligence, and a reflection of nature's grand sonic designs -- namely, the harmonic series and the auditory system.Did it have to be those particular five tones? Of course not, but they're great choices!The five tones as a set of harmonic ratios is 9:10:8:4:6By contrast, the first seven notes of Luke's Theme as a set of harmonic ratios is24:36:32:30:27:48:36The Five Tones, in a mad scientist kind of mood.

The Five Tones 302 Posted October 7, 2002 Share Posted October 7, 2002 It's the notes of those two melodies, CE3K and SW, expressed as a set of frequency ratios, i.e. the frequency of SW's first note is 24x, second note is 36x, etc. :?

Trumpeteer 302 Posted October 8, 2002 Share Posted October 8, 2002 Last December, I wrote a list of the five best films of 2001 for my newspaper. As an added bonus, they added a new category: what role we would like to play in a movie. Instantly, I knew I always wanted to be the trumpeteer playing the Imperial March every time Darth Vader entered the room. I thought of that as something Mel Brooks could have done in "Sapceballs," but I thought Lucas should have really added that for the Special Edition.And that should also explain my signature.Jeff -- who can't play one decent note on a trumpet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetePan 163 Posted October 8, 2002 Share Posted October 8, 2002 At the old messageboard another member already took peterpan as a username, so I skipped the r and it became Petepan.I chose it because of Hook. And because I want to be The Flying DutchmanMy real name, well it is Rinze Anne van der Sluis. So, no international career for me...Too often English speaking people think it is a girl's name, because of Anne. I get a lot of letters for mrs. Rinze Anne. Jeeezz!My dad's name is just Anne. He is subscribed to a Swiss magazine and the keep writing him as Frau Anne.

Yoda Longbottom 0 Posted October 8, 2002 Share Posted October 8, 2002 I chose mine in a rush and am no longer satisfied with that. I thought I wouldn't keep returning here for that long. Had I known better before, I would have chosen something litle more normal. Although I take that no one could care less about my nickname, I will change it to my favorite character from HP, Draco Malfoy, so from tomorrow I'll be signing in as Dr.Malfoy unless someone else pinches it........ I won't change my avatar though, R2D2 looks a bit like me, plus using a picture of my favorite character (actor) could be in discord with copy rights.

Johnnyecks 33 Posted October 8, 2002 Share Posted October 8, 2002 Well my first name is John. Obviously. My friends and I used to listen to, and sing along to, a NJ punk band called "Bouncing Souls" a lot. They wrote a song called "The Ballad of Johnny X" which, to them, related very well to me and my life at the time. It still does, kind of. Anyway, so they started calling me "Johnny X". When I started using that as my nickname, pretty much everywhere, "Johnny X" was already taken up. I liked it so much, that I decided to just spell out the letter "X" which is E.C.K.S. and I low and behold, that nick wasn't taken anywhere. So I've been using that one everywhere. I used to have a nick of Soundtrack Fan, spelled Sndtkfan, but it is so generic and boring that I decided to go old school and pick a nick that had meaning behind it.There, thats my boring story.

Rogue_Leader 2 Posted October 9, 2002 Share Posted October 9, 2002 My favorite thing about the SW movies was always the epic space battles. I always envisioned myself zooming down the Death Star II shafts chasing after Lando Calrissian. I thought of naming myself Wedge Antilles, but that seemed to close to a specific character. I wanted something more impersonal. So I chose Rogue Leader since Rogue Squadron is the most ass kicking force in the galaxy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
