i was stoned off my face when first signign up to the forum...so i dont really remember LOL

heh... I really thought your nick would somehow be related to Dune, actually :P

My real name is Richard Havell, which I then shortened to R Havell. So ends the terribly exciting story of my nickname.

In other games and things I use the name "Trent Steele" becuase I thought of it one day and just thought it sounded cool. :whistle:

It's my name. I don't believe in nicks.

Old master Sebatianos it a character in a book I'm working on (actually I've writen about 30% of the story - but haven't got around to finish it - haven't writen a single letter of the story in past 6 years).
It's a made up name, that sounds like a real one. The character in the book is actaully my own voice. He's a mentor to the hero Zarbon.

When I first opened a mail account I didn't want to give my real name, because everybody had a strange nick and it was all used more or less for fun, so I decided to use this one. And wherever I go, the name Sebatianos is never taken - so...

My real name is Borut (if anyone would like to know).

I've had this one off and on since I first started using the 'net, on the Total Annihilation forums back in the day, when we were in the middle of the BSE crisis - I quite liked the idea of being something that could send you a bit loopy (lord knows I try!). I'm also occasionally Charlie, which was a RL nickname from college (after Charlie from Charlie's Angels) but I normally stick with Beef now.

@TH: Don't believe in nicknames? Is that like not believing in faries? You'll have TiNk3rBeLL teh l33t n1ck fa1ree after you if you're not careful.

i just needed something to be known as online and i knew that "JJXB" would never be used by anyone else (altough i did use Gr8FuQ in diablo 2 :P)

My scoolmates give me the name peregy because my surename is Peregi.

The first few times I posted here, I didn't register, thinking I wouldn't be around for too long. So then I was just another guest.
But it turned out I remembered quite a few old games. It was quite logical to take "another_guest" as nick then.

Tulac was an RPG character, back from one of my pen&paper sessions...
That character was pretty odd, and I grew to like it, another plus is that
this nick is never taken, the minus is that it can associate on the word dummy or alike in Croatian...
