All of you have amazing username histories. I kind of regret choosing New Guy now. D:

I always think your name is funny, if that's any consolation.

In other places where I did/do not plan to stay long, I sometimes go by Ozymandias.
ISWYDT.  I like the classical allusion.

You know what might be interesting? A "What's the origin of your avatars" thread. I'm not witty enough to write an entertaining OP, though. Maybe with Reudh's permission we could add it to this thread, because it feels like it would fit well and might be too similar to deserve its own thread.

INDEED. There are quite a lot of interesting avatar origins... Colab effort anyone? :P

Wow, RuneScape has really evolved since the time I tried it for 10 minutes 5 years ago. When I looked at it, it was all top-down with horrible quality animations.

As opposed to the top-down game with horrible quality animations it is now?

I find it hard as a DF player to criticize any game with horrible animations and a top-down view.

Not all of us here are DF players though. I've personally grown out of being able to make sense of textual rougelikes again for the most part.

What animation? Text is all you need.


I'd be up for an avatar origins add-on, though I wouldn't have much to say since I've been drawing the last few.

I don't think I could explain my avatar. My username, though...

I honestly just think I chose it because I like the sound of the word.

Why not just add avatar origins in here? It hardly requires a new thread.

I would suggest resizing your avatar BTW, the forum resizing makes it look compressed and grainy.

Or use this one that I already resized for you http://www.img.ie/c4b59.jpg
