Hi again, Yes I know, I never shut up. I just like to get people talking.

I am curious to know what your TT name means to you. Why did you choose your particular name?

My name is taken from an "actionista" cult favorite movie titled "TankGirl". I obviously chose this name to broadcast that I am a woman and because I thought the character in the movie was bizarre and fun.

Nothing creative about my name, MJ. Just my initials. Was more interested in getting to the game than thinking up a good nickname. This is the first online game I've joined so I haven't had to worry about one before. Now, I don't want to change it (officially).

Kudos TG. A very interesting thread. Good stories and good laughs (Prey...I'm still chuckling...and Leopard doesn't discriminate, I've been a victim many times. :( ).

MJ

@cowboy, :P lol cow, however ,ever seen what happens between a Leopard and a Human when the human runs out of Ammo?

A non-discriminating Canadian Leopard Laughing in the Den

XD

@Oddball

No, I'm named after the punctuation mark, not asterix the cartoon character.

@Sluggy

So we finally here of your name..

Funny you should mention Charlemagne. I have a seven page medieval report about him due on Friday the 13th of Feb. But I don't have it as bad as one of my friends.. His birthday is the 12th..

Lol

Asterisk

My last name is de la Rocha, people called me ROACH since 4th grade?.....well, yeah thats about it...it has nothing to do with smoking..heh, heh... :P

@OM - Interesting, and a link to keep.

I've got this group of friends that I've been hanging out with sense Jr. High School... There happens to be 3 David's in this group... To distinguish ourselves from eachother, one took the name David the other took Dave... I took the name DJ because my middle name is James, and that gradually evolved into the name Deej... That was about 15 years ago and people have been calling me Deej ever since...

I chose the name SteAlth because it seemed fitting to my scrum skills. Originally it was Stelth, but I got made fun of for misspelling it. So when I corrected it, I emphasized the letter "A". I was going to switch it back to "a" but then Cadc invited me into the shadow army. Being someone who doesn't like to conform to the masses, I kept it the way it is... As my own unique way of expressing myself...

S teA lth

Mine is simple death an a to link and tron makes it sound like I kill really quikly(though I do tend to)

Me. I've always had elements in my name (Ice Flame, Dragon Fire, Iced Over) and as a demo I had ice as my name, DEMO (Ice), and one time I was playing scrum and just and the guy was about to get to the goal I came from the side, smashed him, got the scrum, shot him dead and scored (no I wasn't camping, it was just really good timing and he was already smoking) and then he called me punk. So since then I changed my name to Ice Punk.

:P

Whoah.....nice!!!

Stealth, did you also have the tank name Deej?

If so, LOL. I used to fear you and would avoid playing against you cause you would kick my butt so easily.

Mine is from my initials (P. E. STanley). I've seen another player called P*E*S*T , but I've had the name for 47 years and I think that makes me the original. Does that also make me the oldest tankster?

Woohoo PEST! 47 years! That's gotta be a record!

My name.......Well..........umm.................I Drive and shoot tanks in think tanks..................

(UF)Tankster

P.S UF is a name I thought of for unstopable force...No reason......again...

WHen I got the game my friend tried to think of a so did I......THen my friend yelled " Duke Nukum" I said "What?" THe name is some sort of umm.........guy who is wanted in a comic book for 50,000,000,000,000,000. Also I like Nuclear BOmbs......Odd I know Thats It :) :) :) :) :)

Duke, do you know that Duke Nukem is also the name of a very popular computer video game from a few years ago?

Oh Gno It Isn't!

PEST @ 47 yrs old,

Sluggy has got him beat...so does Old Duffer.

Well Z is just my initial nothing particularly interesting behind it I'm afraid.

-Z-

Maybe PEST, Sluggy, Duffer, and myself should form a geriatric team!

We'll make it open to anyone >45. Who else can qualify?

Go GT's!

:-)

Fleabiscuit the ol' nag

My friend uses "ass hat" as a friendly insult and I always thought it was funny as hell. From two old sayings. 1: "...you'll be wearing your ass for a hat." 2: "You've got your head up your ass." I try not to take the game TOO seriously :)

Racer: you ever race Rotax carts? Sick!

MOE: I love that band!

@Tankgirl, yeah that was me :) but I credit my victories to my great teachers, Azezel and Hanksta!

Ferst I tried "vaginabloodfart" but everypeople booed me off the map. So then I tries "vagi-bleep-fart" but it lost its punch. So den I tries "roys nut hang" but the reference be too obscure, sos I tries out "daddy's favorite" for its reference to incest, but its too creepy, so I goes wit "manhammer" for its homo-erotic conotations, but den changes it to "meathammer" for its masturbation imagery....den im sink of it all, and I goes wit "puppies!!!!" cause it s so wholesome. But den I gets bored and comes up wit "stinkfingers" which can be read literally, like I gots a filthy keyboard, or euphemistically like I does sompin dirty wit me digits....

Its brilliant

Best name in the game.

I hate to one up Pest but I'm 50. Am I the oldest? :)

@stink -lmao

@hatter wats means "Imao" ?

@stink - lmao= laughing my ass off.

Oh should I censor that? Laughing my @$$ off.

Rofl

Next question, whats rofl mean?

@hatter,

Sactly, wats means Rofl?

Sorry I dont speak this language easily -- up to now, my conversations have always bin in real time wif real people...i no hablo computereese.

Denky for the crash course

Stinky

Jeez... I've had so many!

The most well known of which would be Freeloader. I don't even like that name, I only took it because that's the name my homie SteAlth introduced me as. Thanks a lot Deej!

I've used the name broke actor, gutter punk, ghetto thug, InsaneNDaMembrain, F***edUpNDaBrain (my tribute to Cypress Hill), Sir, woody, brodster, among a few others that I just forgot! My most recent names consist of kozer and kasper, but I'll probably change those by the end of the week.

Maybe I'm shy, or just don't feel the need for name recognition... Whatever the case, I never keep the same "in game" name for more than a week. And I never play the same name twice in a row. You'll recognize me by my innate skills. SteAlth taught me how to scrum and I've gotten pretty good at it. If you find yourself getting your ass whooped by a complete stranger, there's a good chance it's me.

@ u: maybe your nex name should be "hyperbolic" or "overexagerated concept of abilities"

@stink and hatter: ROFL is "rolling on the floor laughing." And stink, I was almost literally ROFLMFAO while reading your name tale. F'ing hilarious!

Is TT getting older?

Ass Hat, what does ROFLMFAO mean?

My name is Cadc or C.A.D.C. Rather, I chose this name because they r the initials of my name!

Cadc (sa)

Rabban is a character from Frank Herbert's, "Dune". He's a Harkonnen bad guy who's a heavy himself and I just thought the name was cool.

@ass, cyber and stink - PMPROFLMAO

You ppl are killing me. I gotta go change my shorts.

@stink - Pissing My Pants Rolling On Floor Laughing My Ass Off

Just in case.

Ahahahahaa

@cyber: check above

@yous guys: denks for the primer on chat abbreviations. Glad I cud provide a yuck.

I started with Ass Matter because when I started there were many names with ass in them. Not to mention getting my ass kicked by ass clone army. I kept it because it looked humorous when the teleprompter said: <name> has eliminated Ass Matter. Even more humorous because it happened so often.

I have taken to using 4:21 because it seems like that time of day most of the time when I'm playing. And the shorter name is harder to see. I need all the help I can get. I suck.

Got Mine From Some Video Game..I'm Not very Creative But there was a girl in the game named Ritz So I just use that name.....Not that it makes me a girl I just think it's a Cool Name!!!!! ;)

Bucho was the villian in the movie "Desperado" so I named my dog after him......then it came to this :P

62 is a joke from Spongebob :P

I like being kinda mysterious, and I can never resist the urge to cheat on a game the day I get it sooo.... :P

I chose Cadc because its my full name : Carlo Alberto Di Donna Campos ;)

Cadc (SA) (Leader)

I was inspired by a smooth lady-killer who can tear a city apart in a car chase with a T-80 Russian tank! (Golden Eye) Besides, I always feel a bit "shaken, not stirred" after a chaotic scrum-scramble at the goal. :P

Back in high school, seems soooo long ago, we had a pretty exchange student from Portugal. I'd say she was en fuego (on fire). That kind of stuck amongst my friends anytime we saw a cutie. Hence, elfuego (the fire). Good thread, always wondered about these!
