BeSiege, Thank you very much for sharing, I am sure showing such a personal side to yourself is difficult and I believe that it is a true testiment to how awesome this 2142 TG community is that you would trust us with such knowledge. Once again, Thanks.

Yes, it's from Tolkien--The Silmarillion, in fact. It's the name of one of the rivers in Middle-Earth.

You're probably putting Uriel and Raguel together, plus a few syllables, for the angel name reference.

I kind of remembered it from Tolkien, and now that you say it, I remember now it is a river. I was pretty sure it wasn't a known angel name, but thought it could be some made up one from some other story or such.

ahh thought I recognized it...I read that book 2 times...well...1 and a half :P I couldn't get through it the first time lol

**Arithea** · 11-21-2008, 02:40 PM

Yeah, Sillmarillion is a bit of a slog. I only made it about halfway, maybe 2/3 of the way through--enough to have read the tale of the children of Hurin before the latest book came out.

GlobalWarmin · 11-21-2008, 05:50 PM

I came up with GlobalWarmin, not surprisingly, because the game is about a post-global warming world. Also, the thought of being "killed by GlobalWarmin" made me smile.

Best comic ever = Calvin and Hobbes.

Calvin's super-hero alter-ego? Spaceman Spiff.

I like names with Chaos conotation and that's why one of my favorite nickname here on TG is Rage4Order. So I chosed Kossst, because when you seperate the K from ossst it sounds K-ossst. The 3 s refere to François Premier, the first french King who came out with education, books and stuff like that. For some reasons, the 3 s are everywhere on the construction (for example Castle of Reins in French) he make build during 1600 age. 3 s was also everywhere on his clothes, his sword and so on. So you can also refere that K for King, ossst for Host. But, like François 1er, I like to reserve suprise to my guest.

Right here Spiff.

When you get inducted they hand you a new name to go with the clan tag ( . Y . ) The name they give you is of a .. you guessed it .. a buxom bombshell from the 30's ~ 60's ( world war II era primarily ) Im not gonna explain the reason the clan made that the theme since its on the website if you really want to read about it.

( http://www.buxombombshells.com/faq.p...er&sublink=faq )

So anyway, thats the reason I am named Martha and why Drennyn sounds like a girl when he talks.

Very interested Martha. I've been to the site and I more of an understanding. As far as Drennyn's sounding like a woman..........hmmmmm you guys sound almost alike so need I say more :P

All kidding aside ...thank you for sharing

Random is the name of some character in a Robert Zelazney book (Amber series) that I read when my 9600 baud modem was still fast and 14.4k was nearly unheard of). I like it and used in on BBS playing trade wars and the like. Now I play under R&ndom because Random was taken. If I'd been thinking I would have done R&dom...
