i picked mine, stitches3911, because when i was six, i had a bad bike accident, and i had to get stitches on my forehead, and the 3911 is because those numbers were the last 4 numbers of my phone number at that time.

What made you pick your name, was it something you read, saw or thought was cool?

My name ViniTerra came from this.

I was bored with the old name and wanted a change.

I have this friend who gave me a wodden box containing 2 bottles of wine in appreceation for work I did for him to register his Fishing Guide Company. The box sits on a shelf in my computer room. On the outside of the box is a painted label. It read Vinitera Wines. The term Viniterra is a play on the name Earth Wines.

Yes i added and extra "r" to avoid copyright infringement. ;) ;)

When I started gaming, I was a huge U2 fan and in those day's Bono was called Bono Vox.
As you usually could only use 3 or 4 characters in the score list and I didn't want
to use my real name , I chose VOX and it stuck.
It's also a bit ironic because it's Latin for voice and I don't talk much. ;)

Pinkfury117, my xfire, came from me being obsessed with needler when I was 10. rUnRiOt came to me when I was joining POQ 2 1/2 years ago, when crash told me that my name wouldn't fit and
that I'd need to make a new one, and thank god I did because my old name seems ridiculous to me now lol

my name comes from the ancient persian 'dushman kush' which means 'slayer of enemies'. it was also the name of a 16 foot long war cannon the ancient persian war tribes used to carry to battle. they would usually only have to fire it once as the noise and shock of it would scare their enemies into running or surrendering. and as i used used to tank camp when i first started playing my name was dushmankush for years and years til i started joining clans and had to shorten it cause of adding tags and name length.

Rangtang I won't tell you but at 1 point in my life i was a sick and twisted person, if you want to know what it means go to Urban Dictionary and type it in. Hint it has nothing to do with alcohol.
