    you know guyz when you see a guy named builder man or dude or whatever, and he is playing as a knight...
    names like that seem really weird, like calling yourself archer, you are limiting your self to archers only

    I hate the numbers on my name, but my name comes from when I first created an xbox live account of the same name. Because I'm Canadian, and mostly known as that at school (Because I live in Australia), I made my name "Canadian98" without even trying no numbers. I mostly regret this to this day, as I realise that it can be kind of sending a message like "Hey, I'm cool because I'm foreign!" ect.

    I think using your generic profile name is okay, but I personally like to use Eric whenever I get a chance, but I don't expect anyone else to.

    I'm no history expert, but I was under the impression both forts and dicks were fairly commonplace in feudal Europe?

    I don't usually notice, but I do tend to find that the "badly-named" people (ie: People with numbers on the end, or people with the sort of names you'd get in COD) do seem to act rather differently to those with more creative names (ie: Names which don't have numbers on the end, unique names, names which are not existing words [Or mix up existing words in a way, like "thebonesauce"])

    Though, it sure is more satisfying to see "Guardian_of_Irael has been shot by Cirom" than "ishootguns123 has been shot by Cirom".

    EDIT: Whoops, typo'd thebonesauce's name.

    In the book Don Quijote the main character gets into his head to become a chivalrous knight and he needs to have a steed with a bad ass name so he takes his flea bitten, puny work horse and spends nearly a week coming up with a name for him. He came up with Rocinante which just means "This horse used to be a worthless dingleberry but now he is not". So I just use that cuz otherwise I'll give myself a headache trying to come up with an awesome name for irrelevant internet stuff.

    So, basically, that's why I am the most clever, courteous and most cultured person here. :D

    I've also given some serious consideration to “Glorified Sex Dinosaur”, in close contention with “Boobosaurus Sex”.

    I don't know how to respond to affection. I just uncontrollably soiled myself and snort-laughed all at the same time.

    Is there ever a situation in which you controllably soil yourself? Let me guess. Your real name is Bear Grylls? :eek:

    Slightly off topic, but I had a NPC named Donkey Joze, a used donkey salesmen whom was bonked on the noggen and took up a lance (it was a shovel) and become a knight, in one of my ttrpg campaigns

    Was sort of a homage/parody
