Hallowed be thy player name
« on: December 05, 2008, 01:28:29 PM »
I've had people ask me before, "What the hell is a Focalor?" I know I've seen lots of other folks player names and thought, "What the hell is a <insert weird player name here>?"

So my question to you all is... what does your player name mean? What is the story behind it, why did you choose that name?

I'll get things started:

Focalor is the name of a demon which is recorded in the Goetia (The Lesser Key of Solomon). He is the 41st of the 72 spirits which comprise the Shemhamforash. His position is a Great Duke of Hell. His duty is to sink and destroy ships of war, slay men, and drown them in the sea. His power is over the winds and the seas. The name "Focalor" is actually an anagram of the second name of another demon, Lucifuge Rofocale, one of the three archdemons elected by Lucifer himself as Prime Minister and recorded in the Grand Grimoire of Pope Honorius (which implies a kind of intellectual relationship).

I chose the name Focalor because I thought it sounded cool and unusual, plus I'm kind of an occultnik. It also made choosing an avatar a snap. My avatar is the Sigil of Focalor, or the magical seal which is a representation of his name. Sigils are like keys, they are required in rituals in order to successfully conjure that particular spirit.

Your turn. :badgrin:

Oh my GOSH like I'm so glad you asked cause I don't even know it was like he was doing his dorky stuff on the computer thing and I was like "what's that" and he was like "Quake" and I was like "Hey I want to try" but he said I needed an atlas that people would call me or something first you know and so I was like "Can I just like use my nickname" and he was all like "No bimbo isn't a good choice" so then he was like "How about Dizzy?" and I was all "WHATEVER!!" but he typed it in and I still don't know how to change it :/

I chose sigma because it is the median, or average of a random number of results over term. Any time I play I always get the same result, have fun. Doesn't matter what happens when I play.

When I played Blood (by monolith) I used the alias [TTC]Infern0x--that was my name until I stopped playing blood and moved to Q2...I changed to the name WarXWizard and used that all through my Mplayer/gamespy days....back then I worked at a video store and I was stocking movies and came across a movie called Armor Of God, I thought it was a cool name so I used it when I first came to tastyspleen...eventually I cut off the "of god" and settled on Arm0r

i used the name playboy in another quake2 mod, but when i came to TDM there had already been a playboy...

and since i wasnt serious about quake2 I thought I'd pick just some random name and while i was watching people play a guy turned a corner and took a rocket to the face and i went ah! cuz it scared the shit out of me....

ah! was born.

quit the BS.  he's a guy who ran a saturday morning kids show & stared in the buffy movie.  ;)

for me, besides the fact it's almost 100% unique ( check out the results!!!, this has more to do with it.   :rockon:
