Post by: Niteowl on July 27, 2004, 02:27:02 PM: ok, we've all been in a game where we need a regs attention, and have all used various abbreviations of ppl's names. what do you use, what do you prefer? what have you heard ppl call you?

Could we just categorize you all as 'non-american' and therefore 'freaks of nature' and get on with bombing anyone who doesn't look, talk, or smell like us?

Sorry, that's taken :p

I go by Sati, Sat (although that commonly gets confused with satcomm), Satia. I'd prefer it if people didn't try to type out my full name if they don't know how it's spelled.

Title: Name Abbreviations
Post by: Grimm on July 27, 2004, 05:25:27 PM: My name is perfect as it is. B)

I don't always call everyone by their full moniker, and the "abbreviated" nicknames aren't always abbreviated much, but they always seem to fit well enough. Anarki, Niteowl, Dubb, Diablus, and Bob all fit well and aren't a pain to type. Some people are fortunate enough to have a name that I can make a new nick-name out of, like how I call Holy_Devil Holy-D. I've been fortunate enough with Grimm to be called Grimmus (AgentOrange was the one who originally started calling me that, if I recall correctly), and everyone else seemed to go with it, so that solved my problem of constantly losing Grimm in IRC.

Title: Name Abbreviations
Post by: Jefe on July 27, 2004, 07:59:03 PM: It's a spanish word, so the J is pronounced like you would an H

That's why it says "Hehfay" in the sig, you see.

You will be called JJ
Title: Name Abbreviations
Post by: Dark on July 27, 2004, 08:00:17 PM: a "J" in spanish is pronounce as an "H" so his name is "Hef eh" phonetically <3

I never really quit a game, I just stop playing and never start again, even if I try to start playing again generally the game just fails to pull me back. NS has by far survived the most recurances, then soon after Earthbound, Chronotrigger, DoD, and HI. Most games I will play for a good month or so, and then stop cold turky until the end of time. If I ever get back into old games I'm gonna have ALOT of fun as I probably have like 50 absolutly golden titles laying around...

I can be a statistic, that I don't mind. What I do mind is being called just another vet, because most vets are dumb, egotistical, arrogant, and entirely a pain. I'd rather not be thought of that way. Sure, I joke around, but I'm no different from the rest of you, and I know that.
