because that's what my scores are.
Might have to use those for similar reasons.

Mine are either
NPF - initials
GUN - because I like guns (in games)
Made a giant arcade-adventure: Pig Eat Ball. Also made shmup with multi-ships: Shoot 1UP DX, Gunstacking game: Serious Sam Double D XXL, and more shooters.

As a kid I used to put ACE as my initials, because, you know, that's how I felt... :-)

Today (well, since I got my cab anyway), I'm using DRH. Now, what could DRH stand for? :P

Some variation of Softdrink 117 is my username for everything, so I usually enter SFT.

If I play like crap I usually still enter SFT, because I believe in being brutally honest. If I see my score initials next to a crap score I feel more motivated to improve. The only exception to this is games where you have to individually scroll through letters, in which case bad scores are usually ABA or somesuch.

In local arcade machines I often use my real initials, TJH, unless I do particularly well.

For a while back when I was really into Ikaruga I used IKY a lot, too, but I don't do that anymore.

I usually sign my scores SNV, for my favorite Pokemon Snivy

SNVY for games that allow for four letters, SNIVY for games that allow for five or more letters.

I remember that there was this one period where I signed my name Q B for Kyubey, to scare passerbys who might be looking at the high score screen and thinking that the machine is asking for contracts. In fact, one time, I got this score in Let's Go Jungle with somebody, signed the 1P side KYU and the 2P side BEY to spell out KYU♥BEY (I even got a photo of it too). Eventually, I got tired of it and decided to switch back to SNV.

What I use nowadays is SMR- standing for...what else?..ShmupSamurai of course..

Thought if the score table has more than 3 letter slots, I'll try to fit ShpSamrai or just SAMURAI..
