CAC (the viets in here know what that means) and the infamous

FUK

JON (which is my first name anyway, so why not!?)

If I can fit it up there like in ThunderForce V and Blazing Star, I'll put in TWITCHDR. Pretty clever eh?

Long ago when I was a kid, I used my real initials, ZKG. Now I just use ZAK, or ZAKK if there's enough room.

I use ICE.

Mainly 'cause it's Cool.

But if it's Guilty Gear...it's always gonna be DKY short for Darkside Ky.

Oh wait, what am I thinking, I never have a chance to put in a high score

Post by **nZero** » Sat Apr 23, 2005 3:42 pm

TVR (initials), or AAC if I'm lazy (since it's a fast combination of letters that no machine modifies, unlike AAA or ABC)

EddyMRA · Post by **EddyMRA** » Sat Apr 23, 2005 3:46 pm

ERA, my initials.

But, it's always funny when someone puts in *ASS*

In games with limited high-score tables I'll sometimes use the initials to "organize" them a bit...for instance, on Kingdom Grand Prix, there's only one HS table for both "racing" and "shooting" modes. Thus, for my racing high scores I use my normal initials, but for shooting scores I put "SHU" so I know what mode it came from.
Man, that's a great idea! I think I'll reset my high-score table now, just to do this.. honestly, great idea, thanx for that

Yes, pure genius, BulletMagnet. Not only for KGP, but any game inconsiderate enough to only have one high score table. Why didn't I ever think of it?

I use NIK, which is almost my name. I use it universally, even with games that allow 4 or more letters.

JP

Obviously.

Heh, glad some people like my "method." KNEW I shoulda gotten it patented.

Sometimes I'll also use it to differentiate the difficulty level I play at if there are no separate tables for those; normal initials for defaults, then "EZ" or "VEZ" or whatever if I've turned the difficulty down.

Of course, I'd much prefer that developers would just give us an extra score table or two so that such innovation wouldn't be necessary, but oh well...

Good think that I don't...

... even make it onto the tables!

I think that I'll start using ETA. I wub that level.

Also; If ever I make a game that includes a high score list, I'll make it both three-letter initial and katakana-capable. More than three letters, and it'll automatically turn the entry name into kana. It'll be perfect. (I had the idea while washing dishes last night. It's probably flawed.)

Hey! Maybe I'll date the scores too, because when I first started playing Giga Wing the other week, I started with "AAA" and incremented it one letter at a time after each play so that I could see how I was progressing (AAB, AAC, AAD, ...) -- If the scores were dated, they could even be graphed by entry name and... okay, this is starting to remind me of Virtua Fighter 4. Hmm.

i just use my surname -
ORD

MovingTarget · Post by **MovingTarget** » Sat Apr 23, 2005 5:54 pm

Thats a cool surname, pity mine is about 5 times too long to use

BIG · Post by **BIG** » Sat Apr 23, 2005 5:54 pm

BIG and often times,CAP.

AAAs are pretty much reserved for the drier runs;)

B-

MovingTarget · Post by **MovingTarget** » Sat Apr 23, 2005 5:56 pm

I use aaa's or abc's to stop there being the same name spammed all down the high score table.

kemical · Post by **kemical** » Sat Apr 23, 2005 6:40 pm

EHW , just my initials

then sometimes random funny stuff if its a weak attempt.. or just AAA if i'm already pissed and wanting to hurry up and restart over again.

SheSaidDutch · Post by **SheSaidDutch** » Sat Apr 23, 2005 6:58 pm

IAB or NAD

Super Laydock · Post by **Super Laydock** » Sat Apr 30, 2005 1:24 pm

Not to clutter the scorelist with only one name I use three different ones.
Whichever I use depends on my mood...

MAI - first three letters of my name
MAJ - my initials

or recently:

SLD - guess why!?
