I use POM normally. P is my middle initial, M my last, and O is...nothing. It's just there to look cool I guess.

I type in BAA though if it's one of those stupid machines that defaults each letter back to "A"

MAX - That's my name, Max ;)
I guess my parents were up to something to give me a name that fits into most highscore lists =)

LWS

Luke William S*****er

My initials, my name.

I find that to be the genuine way. I guess I could use Aqy, which is short for Aquas. But, naw.

I'm incredibly fortunate in that I've got a 3-letter surname, which I use in hi-score tables as my initials.

ACH - in Castlevania games there's usually just enough space to type "Achtung Minen!" (that mysterious German person buried somewhere) and it looks pretty badass in Schwabacher, so when I tried to type it in Phantasy Star IV (or some other Phantasy Star game), there was only enough space for ACH (no small letters at that). Hence the initial.

ILL - Illyrian, obviously

Used to be XXX because I thought that was cool >.<

Back when I was clan matching in FPS's my tag was [ASIB] Baron k. Roolenstein, or just [ASIB] Baron k.
"And so it Begins..." was the name of the gaming shop I used to go to and we had a FPS team.

Before that I tagged ALA or Alakazam, cause that was my favourite pokemon (yes, really).

ROB, because that's my name. Though if I were playing in a proper arcade I'd probably use my real initials RJD.

NUL - obvious, first 3 letters of my nick
ABA - so the machine won't auto-change it if I'm too lazy to type NUL
Come check out my website, I guess. Random stuff I've worked on over the last two decades.

Generally if I do a crap score at the arcade I enter one of the other player's initials, so that people will think they did it.

In an actual arcade, I enter my real initials.

Online, the first three letters of whatever username I'm using.
