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?

for me, i hear 'nite' all the time, which i don't mind, i also don't mind 'owl', as that differentiates me from the millions of NightWolf, NightHawk, NigthWhatever folks out there. i've also heard 'gramps', 'the old guy', whatever :D

here are some abbrev i use!

bob
sati
sancho
hd
anar


er, drawnig a blank here, help me out guys ;D

It's 'Zed' and you can thank those godless brits for that. They can't accept the proper, godly, humane pronounciation of Z as 'zee'. They insist on sticking with their heathen perversion, pronouncing it 'zed'.

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.

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.

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
