CHI · Post by **CHI** » Thu Nov 16, 2006 1:31 pm

CHI.....
its my name (rhymes with me, not my) n i use it on scoreboards, uninteresting i know.....
at one point back in kingston'91, there was an arcade just across the station, a group of chinese use to go there after college (sf2), there was 2 players who uses CHI, so i changed mine to HCP (my initials n yes i know, handicap!), then they started changing theirs (CCW n CCK) so i change mine back..... i guess i had the last laugh.....

(Though I did come across this reading the FAQ, I saw this a few years ago)

For 3 or 4 letter entries: LGB or TLP. LGB is of course, one of my more commonly used internet nicks. TLP is my initials.
5, 6, or 7 letter entries: Terry. My name.
8 letter entries: Terrance. My full name.

OZY, 'cause it's the beginning of Ozymandiaz, durr.
SEX for Strikers 1945 because it tells me that I'm a bad person and then gives me a frowny face.

Why does it have to be 3 characters?

I use RC_. My initials.

MJR · Post by **MJR** » Tue Dec 11, 2007 7:27 pm

I got two initials. CAI when the score is irrelevant, and MJR when I make a record.
MJR is of course my first, middle and surname initials.

CAI has bit more history. In 1989, I competed on Thunderblade as CIA against nick called KGB, eventually I beat him, making impossible scores with that coin-op. I used that nick also in the now infamous Bloodsuckers pac-man demo, and trashed the nick then.

Then back at Terramarque, I was told that I cannot have my real name in credits (we were doing elfmania datadisk which eventually got canned), but had to use nick instead. I did not want to use CIA as I felt it was clicheed, and MJR I felt was boring. So I chose CAI. When asked what it meant, I said "central anal intruder". Thought that was funny.

CLK, its my initials.

Boring, I know.

MX7 · Post by **MX7** » Tue Dec 11, 2007 11:05 pm

MXZ or MX7 or Mx7x depending on the game

It stands for Mode 7, my chiptune project. I really wanted it to be my name on the board, but it seems someone beat me to it. Should have put in MX7. Might ask to change it. DJ Rectal Prolapse is the worst screen-name ever.

I enter different things depending on mood I guess,

When I was young, I enter ACE as it was fast and easy.
About 12 years ago or sometime in the mid 1990's, I started to enter JAZ which is my nickname.

In the past couple years, hanging out with some local shooting fellows, I started to enter my real initials JNF.

Some time I also enter JF

Then some times I like to use those funny charaters that are offered. I will enter JF then put something like $, %, #, &,

, et cetera…what ever the game is offer.

So my initials list:
ACE
JAZ
JNF
JF_

and when I do not care…AAA

OTA

I've had it for about 16 years, but it's still a little embarrassing. When I was 11, I thought I was the only English kid in the world who had discovered the word OTAKU, and back then I didn't even fully know what it meant.

A year or so ago I saw another OTA on a Dig Dug machine, so I decided to change it to OT2 (like I'm some sequel of myself), but that didn't last as 1) I felt horrid typing in a new name, and 2) So many shooters don't have numbers.

So, I'm still OTA, but now I've decided it means 'otter' - an animal I find hysterically funny at all times, even if it's just a still photo. Since 1991 every high score, save game, Bluetooth tag etc has been OTA, so I couldn't change it now...

DEL · Post by **DEL** » Wed Dec 12, 2007 3:20 pm

ProMeTheus => PMT

^

PMT = Post Menstrual Tension

But who am I to talk; DEL meaning 'of' in Italy and Spain

.

EDIT: Yeah, Pre Menstrual Tension, you're right spadgy. Both still abbreviate the same tho.

PMT

Post by **spadgy** » Wed Dec 12, 2007 3:29 pm

I thought PMT was Pre-Menstral Tension. Poor DEL - are you on the receiving end of Pre and Post?
