I was trying to come up with a name, and decided to translate my last name into English, then put lady in front of it because I didn't want to go by just black, and figured most of these players were male, might as well make it clear I wasn't. Therefore, lady black.

I came up with the name Bornain, by randomly mashing the keyboard on my computer. I have used it in several rpg games since.

a "logoPhile" is somebody with a large vocabulary.
a large vocabulary is merely having big pile of words to choose from.
hence, "logopile".

I thought the spritelike character looked rather piggylike and he basically kills everything he can hence Piggy the Slayer.

Mino is pretty much my real name - not officially on paper, but its the name I go by the most. I usually don't use my actual name on forums, especially since I'm posting at work, but if anyone else at work with an Android phone is a big enough fan to be reading these, then chances are they're playing at work too :D

I've been using Johan as my nickname online for ~15 years now.

Comes from the Magic card, http://gatherer.wizards.com/pages/card/ ... rseid=2872
I liked the name and the artwork, I don't think I ever put the card in a deck, way too expensive.

I was pretty surprised to find it already taken on a forum with only 400 accounts so I tossed the X at the end.

That's news to me and kind of ironic considering a goat is so far down the food chain.

So far down the food chain, but will eat pretty much anything on it!

My username is straight forward.

It all started in 1998 when I joined an auction site and wanted the anonomus name someguy. Alas it was taken so I went with Somerat and use it for everything so I don't forget.

Me? I got Black Wind as an RPG user name years ago. I still remember how. RPGs are supposed to be a bit unpredictable, and "black" can be somewhat mysterious. I love traveling, hence "wind" since that often involves flying. Well, "Wind Black" sounds kinda stupid IMO, so "Black Wind". :)

Though on the other hand, the name I use for puzzles is more unique. That I've never had come back as already in use. That, I'm persistent and can be stubborn. So I've been known to sit there gathering dust until solving the puzzle. Hence my name on forums for puzzles - "DustCatcher". :lol:
