Tell it like it is, people. Mine are my initials. I have two last names.

~dlgn
p.s. My real name is D<censored> L<censored> G<censored>-N<censored>. What are the censored parts? Only pds, bbj, kilauea, artraf, and chickenbob of all the citizens of MineRealm know! And I know, obviously, lol.

JackDeCkEr= mah name (technically not, but it's quite close)

Yes, I'm stupid.

Although if I had a re-do, it would be The-Jack-DeCk or Turtle_King. The-Jack-DeCk cause it's kinda my name but in a hidden fashion, and Turtle_King cause it's boss.

I have a random name generator implanted in my head. It has to be coherent and look like a name, albeit maybe somewhat archaic. If the name has numbers that do not follow some interesting pattern, it doesn't qualify, and all kinds of grammatical things are a serious no-no. Most of my friends have me to thank for their IGNs.

Maca930 qualifies.

Why? Because 9 and 3 are linked by 9 being the square of 3, and then 0 is divisible by anything. And Maca is coherent.

Yes, I know, I'm a freak.

Wanna see my analyses of the relationships between squares and powers of two? -maniac laugh-
-shoots self-

Yes, I do. Post/PM it to me.

My name is based off a fictional character of my own design, and is in the exceptionally long process of slowly being written into a book. -shrugs-

And Seratias...

I have calmly written the origin story for a flying, purple, winged, 2 dimensional, one-eyed swastika in a mad parody of religion. You aren't as deranged as you think you are.

Mines initials again, my usual screen name was apparently taken, yet minersneedcoolshoes tells me that it doesn't exist. tbh, I prefer AlM, it's much quicker to type out particularly when /tp'ing.

Anyways, it's A<censored> Luke M<censored>

My IGN is a clever manipulation of one of my names (not telling which one though).

I don't think my IGN requires a lot of explanation. Colmanator came from the nickname a few people gave me after a did a flawless impression of Arnie:

When AOL came out and we switched away from Compuserve (I'm dating myself here) we could pick usernames for the first time. Well, Wheel of Time was just getting big, so I ended up picking Gaidin (from Wheel of Tme) and BDJ are my initials. I've been using the same login ever since.

Back when i played another game.. I frequented as a Flame based Ninja.. as such, i stole the name Flannery from the R/E/S generation of Pokemon (She was the Lavaridge Gym Leader)

Upon becoming known as this name, Close friends shortened Flannery to such endearments as Flan, Flanny, Flarn, Flanneh, Etc etc..

So.. by the time i made this account for MC, i had already made a new name.. Made of the nicknamed Endearments my friends gave me.. FlannyFlan

I found it very punny to start having pudding based jokes thrown around when i made this name, as that Flan is a type of Pastry in Britain, and is also another name for a type of custard, Creme Caramel.. ^^ Hence Maca calling me a "Sour Custard"
