  • • Needed a name
    • Remembering 6th grade mythology project*
    • Thinking "Greek god names sound pretty neat?"*
    • Googled Greek Gods
    • Clicked on Wikipedia article
    • Roughly 700 names
    • Ctrl + F

    Wikipedia Article wrote:The Erotes (ἔρωτες)
    Anteros (Ἀντέρως), god of requited love
    Eros (Ἔρως), god of love and sexual intercourse
    Hedylogos (Ἡδύλογος), god of sweet talk and flattery

The only one that caught my eye was Pothos, tried it out. Pothos was taken so I changed a letter :)


Here's the article, if anyone was curious.

My story is one full of mystery and intrigue!'
No, just fuckin with ya.

I'm the type of guy whom the act of choosing a username could take hours, if not days, but I wasn't gonna spend that time on a game I didn't think I would be playing in a week. (I thought Minecraft looked too shitty to be good, at first.)

So I figured, "hey, I have a great beard goin, I wonder if I could be like....the master.... of beards everywhere!"

And that's it! A simple 5 second thought process led to one of the most iconic names in gaming history. :sheep:


Oh, and then I discover that some dudes made a RIDICULOUS video with my name in it, so that's cool too.
So apparently some people made a movie about me....

It was in a cyber safety talk when we all got homework to change our passwords to something a little more cryptic. I changed mine to "ch0co1at3", and it stuck for a while. then I changed all my passwords to- wait. I'm not telling you that! So i joined fcraft, and desperately needed a new name. I was going to do Frodo Baggins, but I ditched that and did ch0co1at3 instead. Thus, my legacy began.
the cake is a lie.

It was back in 2009 when I would go to a site called "Kongregate" all the time. I would browse the games on there until I found a multiplayer game called "Platform Racing 2". I had to think of a username to play it and thought of some of my favorite things... And that's when I thought of Pringles. I named myself .Pringle. and played that game frequently. Then I soon had stopped for 2 years, than found Minecraft on a Google ad. I made my username for the classic version but found out I couldn't use periods in my username, so I just thought of the name "ThePringle". And that's the story of my username.

When I tried to make an account for Minecraft, I tried all of my other nicknames that I had used in the past, but they were all taken, so I started typing random crap and eventually just typed "whyyoutaken", referring to all of the names being taken.
"Whyyoutaken" was not... taken (HAHAHAHA) so I stuck with it.
That's my Minecraft name, anyway.

Well, let's all sit in a circle, grab a cuddly toy and settle down on the cushions, because it's time to tell of my Minecraft experiences and what led me to make my username!

About 3 or so years ago, when I was 9, Minecraft was the newest thing! I was in Year 5 at the time. All my friends were huddled around the school computers playing Minecraft Classic and sharing their maps with one another.
I walked into the computer room that day and found some of my friends there.
Among them was Curtis Wallace and Matthew... erm... bother. It's too long ago to remember his surname. :?

Anyways, I went over and asked them how they were, they simply told me about Minecraft and how awesome it was. At the time, it felt like being pushed into taking a drug (especially with how they worded it), but I sat down and went on Minecraft.net.

I knew that I'd have to sign in somehow, so I tried to register with some of my best concoctions.
But for my age, they can't have been good, because all of them had already been taken up.
Eventually, I asked for Matthew's help, and he pointed out that it needs to be quite obscure.

Many mario's later, and I couldn't even be bothered to use my favourite Nintendo mascot in my username, so I took a completely random name. I knew that adjectives would enhance it, so I used 'ultimate' as my first word. Then I thought up something completely random and typed in 'megaman'. Then I had 'ultimatemegaman'. I was content with the idea and submitted.

I also had a hotmail account at that time (which I never use anymore).

So there we have it folks, that's my story! Please add to this Topic by clicking that little 'Post Reply' button in the bottom-left hand corner. :)

Why did you do that? :D
Was it just to sum it up quickly?

Nebula: an interstellar cloud of dust, hydrogen, helium and other ionized gasses. Originally Nebula was a name for any extended astronomical project, including galaxies beyond the Milky Way. I added the x_ because Nebula is never available. Quick science lesson for you.

Well time to hear about how I made my Minecraft username.
It was more of a typo, I meant to do something like Cole5law, but I thought that was derpy, so I deleted it.
I really wanted have something in my username that had something to do with coleslaw, so I typed Coleslaw, went back between the Cole and the Slaw, and replaced the S with a 5 again, thought that was derpy, placed an S after the 5 and I thought that looked good, so I went with it.
I wasn't really proud of my name because people on some servers call me Coleslaw, which I like to be called Cole or Cole5 or just plain flat out Cole5slaw.
I wish I had come up with something like Ollieboy...

My -female- friend was over at my house, and she threw a Frixion pen at me. It's the type of pen that has erasable ink.

So I thought, why not?

As you notice along the way, I often erase the builds I make after they get old. They somehow reduce the motivation in me (aka turns me off)

I like how you felt the need to emphasize the fact that you have a female friend.

I mainly keep to :normal: to :above average: people.

And I emphasized that, because, almost every other girl whom I know is infected by the #YOLOSwag plague.
