I...have absolutely no idea.

I'm going to actually have to put in some deep thought on this one.

I started out as dragon51.
Because dragons are awesome.
Then I played MechQuest and became Mecha51.

Fast forward quite some time.

End up in a City Roleplay back on Blockland. I used the name Mech Nexus in it, as a kind of real name.
It then became the name I use today.

Fixed mah link on page 5, Ironskullkid.

Also, was going to name my bomber alt some variation of Guy Fawkes until I remembered that the entire internet sees that as the face of Anonymous. Tavishdegroot was still open though!

I literally hit my keyboard with my fists, then rearranged the letters on the screen to be somewhat pronounceable. Which explains why I can type my name with one hand.

The game had just recently come out so lots of good names were still up for grabs. I tried to get grim first since i have the username grim on another website. It was already taken so i just kept thinking of related words. Came up with defeat, hit enter and viola i got it. I then made an alt named triumph, but havent rly done much on em yet :3

Gravelord-Caste
Ever played Dark Souls? Well,

Ever played Dark Souls? Well, neither have I (although I have played Demon souls). Still, I liked Gravelord Nito, and I watched quite a few videos concerning it (EpicNameBro, anyone?), so I used Gravelord-Nito when I started playing. After a while, I transferred what I could into my new Knight, Gravelord-Caste. Why I chose "Caste" is beyond me.

Immortous's picture
Immortous

I found a Latin word that sounded cool, switched a couple of the letters, and that was that.

Nah....
Actually, I stood on the other side of the room, chanting in falsetto, and with a plum in my left hand. After a couple of minutes, I let out a monstrous bellow, and chucked the plum at my keyboard. I'm right-handed, so I missed the keyboard and got a nice purple stain on the wall next to it, but I managed to decipher the name "Immortous" in the mangled remains of my plum.

Story time!

I kept my name from what I used on TF2. My favorite class is pyro, and I am a fan of music from around the 70s and 80s, so I took a song I liked, "Light my fire," and adapted it to fit the theme of burning things as a pyro in TF2

Well...

Basically was watching an Anime at the time of creating my Main Knight, and a name from one of the places sounded good, so I used that.

Toah's picture
Toah
A rather short story.

Well, Toa was taken, So I added an H to make Toah, since it was pronounced the same, it was taken, so I randomly added 14 on the end, since It was the 14th, I think, So I ended up with Toah14, that was, oh, I don't know, 10 years ago? Been using it on anything and everything, except FPS games, where I go by the name "Hobo Wrath"

Also, since we aren't allowed numbers, I'm just Toah here.

My story

My first online game that I played was known as 'Lego Universe.' I began as a free to play player and therefore could not create my own personal name. I choose the 3 words 'SergeantIsotopeWrench' as my character's name and continued on with life. People would call me Sarge all the time and it began to grow on me. When Lego Universe was shut down last February I looked for a new game. A buddy of mine had told me about Spiral Knights, so I decided to check it out. Upon creating my knight, I realized with dismay that I could not have my full name of 'SergeantIsotopeWrench' so instead settled for 'SergeantWrench.' That name has stuck, and it is rather a fun name to have.

The story of SergeantWrench...In a mustard seed.

On a slightly related note ...

Being hideously bored, I cross-checked the entire 113-member cast of League of Legends to see if any names were available in SK.

112 were taken.

Now that would be an amazing LD match.

Trinity-Limit
Well, at first, I read on

Well, at first, I read on more about Spiral Knights, and came to learn that Spiral Knights is based of "Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles" for the DS, which is amazing, so thinking deeper into that, I read that Final Fantasy HAS to be similar to the franchise; Kingdom Hearts, I was shocked, cause Kingdom hearts is one of my FAVORITE games ever. So Trinity-Limit was a magic ability in Kingdom Hearts I used to spam as a kid. So, that's how I came up with my name.

I have no idea how I got fropps.
It formed over the years and I have no idea how it happened.

Although!

I went through my old games when I was 8 and I found one I played when I was 4, I started it up and looked at the profiles, all were empty but one.
It said, Fross

I'm usually known as...

Synergy is my real username. It just got taken already so I had to opt for my former username.

I prefer playing coop games than going PvP because I'm alot better at coop (which explains why I never go LD). Synergy comes from the greek word synergos, which means working together.

My former username, "Ultraflo" just came from the Esso Ultraflo racing team from the JGTC.

POOKS.

The name Kittenkaboodle is the name of a game I used to play when i was around 7, my sister's boyfriend (now my brother-in-law *{}*) brought over a memory card with nearly all SNES games (all of them Japanese, since he was) and one game that, for some reason, i remember distinctly, named Kitten Kaboodle. (http://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=8328)
My other character's name, Sir-Henry-Cooldown, is named after a character in the Wii game No More Heroes, and is called Sir Henry Mother****er by the main character, Travis.(http://nomoreheroes.wikia.com/wiki/Henry_Cooldown)

It happened to be an absolutely freezing day and I was shivering from head to foot. These unworldly things called coats(Anyone heard of them?) sometimes just expose you to nature - Ouch. Plus the central heating had thought ''You know what? Lets die just for the shenanigans''. Party my fault for being a cheapskate and purchasing the cheapest coat, now that I think back...Why didn't I just wear my whole attire of clothes?

So yeah ~ Coldness :3

I am Australian and a lagger.

the radius of the earth ~6350 km
circumference of the earth 2*pi*r= ~ 39900km
distance from my location to the server = ~11000miles or ~17700 km
so i send data packets roughly halfway around the world without fiber optic network.

so When my area gets Fibre optics my latency will be

c =3*10^9 m/s

1.77*10^8/c = 0.059s

because ping is a 2 way measurement my theoretical latency would be 118ms with fibre optics

but realistically would be around 200ms which is playable compared to the ~400ish i get right now!

@aus-lagger it's not a straight line to the server. Also add in for switching network delays, so yeah 200 is more like it. :3

My name came from my love of a distinct story between heaven and hell. Conflicts that could be thought up, stories that could be told. Battles for which details could be exploited and talked about through imagery and word. Don't get me wrong, I am not the typical church goer..I just love the legend behind the stories, and how words can be powerful. Seraphyth, has a sense of strength to it and coming from a type of angel, a Seraph. That is why I picked it. I am trying to mimic my character after an angelic being, so far so good lol.

I loved (but didn't have) Minecraft, so once I was making a new Xbox 360 account, I named it PIGGY XD (Minecraft pigs are awesome), but once I upgraded to silver, it said the name was taken. I thought that I couldn't have any spaces in it, so I put TheGreatPiggy, and it worked. The name has there forth carried onto steam, and the Spiral Knights username can't have any capitals in the middle, so, TheGreatPiggy it was!

Derpuraptor strikes back

Mm.. I see some LEGO Universe players here and there. And Sergie, I didn't even know any of my guildies played one of my favourite games.

I shallt tell thou a story of business. Evil business! Deep in the caves of the Hell, lived a little businessman who didn't have a face and-- Nah, Slenderman is stupid. But really, I like to set things afire in games, and when there's a game with a "hell" or volcanic world, I try to make it kind of my domain. But I still set things aflame there.

So that's where our totally-not-monstrous-looking Spiral Knight came from.
