Guess
.....
London arcade players have always used three character tags, as our superior counterparts do in Japan. London players like DEL, KAC, ARC, ARM & -M-.
Mine's always been my nickname and I've used it since year dot, almost 23 years

EVA
My daughter's name.
Before she came in I would do: NDM (my initials) or XXX.
Note: if there are more than 3 alotted char's (like eight) I'll do something like:
+++++EVA
or
*****EVA (last 3 char's are eva)
oh, or I'll do something like...
E V A sometimes...

B-
CAP = you wrote a swear in a capcom game
If you type 'SEX' as your initials in strikers 2, the letters turn into little faces and it plays an explosion sound effect. Fun fact.

ALX
Short form of ALEX (which I use when a highscore table lets me input more than three letters and which happens to be my first name).

CAB or CAB!, depends on how many letters you´re allowed to use.
It´s short for Cabinet (duh); I pronounce it like they would do in France ("cuhbeenay").

If I credit feed or play on a lower difficulty than normal, I put AAA. I use my initals (TKH) if I do one-credit on normal.
In games like Gate of Thunder where I frequently play on the harder difficulties, and the game uses one score table for everything, I'll put "HRD" or "DVL" when appropriate.

SIX if I get a score worth bothering with.
Its also a form of (but not the right spelling of) my earlier graffiti tag. Do you still write?
MovingTarget wrote: And what does it mean?
I use either IMA or PSI
IMA is a japanese word that means the present, I think anyway, can anyone confirm?! PSI is short for one of the names i write in graffiti, also short for psilocin, the active ingredient in mushrooms, and psi is a word associated with the mind. bleh Dunno what that means hehe
I cant decide on ima or psi, which do you think?
edit: maybe this should me moved to OT?

I always use JPA, which are my initials. I mostly enter it when I've completed a game or made progress from the last time I played. I'm not one of those guys who enters his tag every single time I play.
