[ZTA_Vector]

Well way back when I started online play, I only played flight sims. I decided to pick somthing apropriate and "vector" is a word that is heard often in the air, weather giving a direction or steering clear of an obstacle (its also used in ships but I wouldn't know about that...).
When I began playing other types of games with different crowds I just carried the name over, and now everybody I know online and have played with knows me as me, Vector (almost 3 years now).
I'm new to this Civ thing and I realize this game has been out for 5 years now, so It'll take me a while to get the hang of multiplayer and to get to know all of you. Oh yeah, I also have the habit of making extremely long posts
I'm 16 in my third year of high school. My dad actually plays this game (he plays a game!) so I would expect a few old timers (no offence intended) I wonder what the average age here is anyways?... Oh yeah, the ZTA in front is a group that I'm part of, we make units and maps for the RTS Total Annihilation, any of you heard of it?

For the average age of some of the people here, check out "Another useless thread".

It needs some posters your age to get the average down.

[Miner]

Miner is my Uni nickname, as there were 2 of us with the name Chris I was quickly dubbed Miner Chris and then just Miner as my degree was geology. When I came to use the Apolyton BB I suffered a complete lack of imagination et voila...

Handle, geez are you in the military or something?

Ok, now were three people using the same handle, but when we signed we were 2.

we were on a funny mood so chose the first thing which came to our minds, was easy and funny:

Hodad

so we supposedly are some alien infiltrates on a recon mission preparing to conquer earth.

Hodad's First Body
we had a big laugh filling in address, etc.

[Richard_III]

Well, my plan is to become King of England. I intend to achieve that goal the same way Richard III did. Unfortunately, I have a few more victims to knock off before attaining that pinnacle. Having fruitlessly waited for (several) nuclear detonations followed by a mass outbreak of BSE to clear the way, I have decided to take direct action. I intend to stand that old Monty Python skit on its head and develop a joke so horrible that the listener dies:

RIII: My grandfather died 100 years ago today in a horrible parachute accident.
Victim: Parachutes weren’t invented 100 years ago.
RIII: I know, that’s why he was killed!
Victim: Aaargh! Dies.

Haven’t found that magic joke yet….

Af Ulm—
IIRC that should be cetera censeo Stockholm esse delendum. No such word ‘praetera,’ although there is a ‘praeterea.’

I'll look it up.

[Sieve Too]

RIII: When you finally take over the kingdom, will you trade it to me for a horse?

[Richard_III]

That had better be one heck of a horse!

[Crustacian]

A Hermit Crab is a tenacious Crustac-e-an. With an "i" it reminds me of Emperors of olde.
But mostly the nickname "Crusty" is why I like it.
ya ya... one more handle won't hurt will it?

[ghen]

lol, you just had to bump this didn't you? My name stems from the fact that aol has too many members

[Narck]

Narck = Narc from an old C64 game I used to have (but there were too many ppl already using that handle on the Internet)

Therefore:

Narc + k = Narck



This thread was started before I even registered. Amazing.

[Du_Chateau]

[sarcasm]Du Chateau, I wonder how I got this name. Probably because it is my last name[/sarcasm]

Seriously though it is French for "of the castle." I think that du chateau sounds much better then of the castle. The underscore between the two names to remind me of the times when people would put my last name like this, Duchateau.

[Graag]

When I was just a little 15 (maybe 14) year old in 1994/5 I used to play a text adventure on a BBS called Legend Of the Red Dragon (LORD) on my trusty 1400 BPS modem. Anyway, everyone had names like Breedle The Destroyer and stuff like that, and I decided on Overlord Graag. Over time, and because the name was a little over the top for message baoards and the like, it was shortented simply to Graag.

Interesting sidenote, Graag is swedish for 'yes please', a fact I was not aware of when I made the name up. This causes swedish people to say swedish things at me in chat rooms, but I'm used to it now.
It also means 'kiss me' in an african dialect, another thing I didn't know when i made it up.

Other names I have gone by:

Hugo Rune - amasingly brilliant character from 3 books by Robert Rankin

JesusMachine - invented as a band name, and sounded cool at the time

Dr Admio Lamwankis - anagram of my name (not the doctor bit)

Graag

Graag: I think u mean dutch people. the swedish word is "gärna" or "ja tack".
however Graag is dutch for "yes, please".
I dunno about the african wording but...
