ɤRastaban

Is In Your Base, Killing Your Mans

Do as the title says. If you don't understand that, then...well, I'd just have a pull a Leonidas + big pit thing on you.

Rastaban: Rastaban is a star, Beta Draconis; the third brightest star in the Draco constellation. I found this while doing work for astronomy class (btw, stars have some really cool names). I thought it sounded cool, and a lot of it fit me well: Draco because dragons pwnzrz, Beta because I make a better second- or third-in-command than absolute leader (plus, Alpha Daconis is Thubin, and that just sounds stupid). Rastaban is derived from the Arabic for "Head of the serpent." I don't care too much for the translation, but I love the Arabic and Persian languages.

Lord Grac: Grac was the main character of a book I was writing in seventh grade. It was crap. I decided to use that and add the prefix "Lord" when I joined my first MMO, Runescape, in October of the same year, because Lord sounded more medieval. It's stuck since.

Raeshii, Tizar Waveswrath, Vandar, Karn Fireyes: All made up. I rarely use these.

Azariah: I have yet to actually use this one, but I will. Azariah was one of three companions of the biblical character Daniel, who prophesied about the end of the world (all recorded in the book of Daniel, which is essentially the Old Testament Revelation). The name just sounds really cool to me.

    ʊIrishancest (#6959)

    Legally Certified Warthog Operator

    Irishancest came about because when I was registering for the MSN Zone the name Irishancestor was too long to put, so I had to cut it down. Obviously it means that I have Irish ancestors.

    Irishdscndnt came about when I forgot the password for my yahoo Irishancest account, and means that I am a descendant of Ireland.

    My various other names come from combination of a word in Irish-Gaelic with the game/website specific name such as GaisciochFalcon which means warrior falcon.

    Yes, I know I am a little obsessed with Ireland, but I have nothing I can say to defend my obsession.

        Yeah, it does look pretty sweet. I gotta say, nothing beats the Eagle Nebula, from the right angle.

          I do like the Eagle Nebula, but it's not my favorite. Unfortunately, I have no clue what my favorite is because I saw it once, and I have yet to be able to find it again. It was somewhere on the NASA website, but I haven't been able to find it :(

              That would be awesome to get sponsered by Alienware, but you should ultimately try to get sponsered by Spyder, I can't imagine what that would be like.

                Spyder has horrible hardware, even they're boards suck

                if I was going after a Paintball sponsoryship I'd go after Smart Parts, they make Epiphany and Ion markers, I own an Epiphany and its the only gun I'll ever use again

                        An Epiphany is only 200 bucks, the tank was 100 since its compressed air, and the Halo (not video game related, geez) hopper was another 100

                        so all in all it was 400 bucks

                            Ah, you've got a gravity hopper and a CO2 tank for an MR-1? huh... not exactly the best thing, but hey, I started with a Spyder Victor 2 with the same accessories. We all gotta start somewhere, and besides, if you work it right, it can still be just as deadly.

                              Actually, I had a Spyder Victor 1 before the MR1 that I broke while being stupid. And yes, the MR1 is very deadly compared to my friends. (they get field guns :))

                                  :) it's hilarious when they're shooting at you but nothing hits you:) I'll be standing in the middle of the field, paint flying around, just lazily picking people off, meanwhile they're trying to just hit me:)

    ӝNirach (#7068)

    Worrying is about as effective as chewing gum to solve algebra

    Nirach - Sweet christ only knows. Back in the day when I was more often inebriated than not, I used the name for a graphics project at school. One day, sober, I saw the name again and used it to sign up to a forum. It kinda stuck from then on.

    At one time it brought up a German site on Google that claimed that Nirach was the name of something to do with serpents.But not being really interested enough, I never book marked it, and now all it does is bring up my profiles on forums or archived news stories about Nirach Tanner being punched by some guy in/associated with the Royal Family.

    The other username I go by is Liratheal. Again a product of far too much alcohol, and needing to come up with a name. I forget what for, but eh. That one is typically reserved for a select few forums (The ones I forgot the login details for Nirach on) and my Dark Elf character. I also use it on BF2, as Pvt. Liratheal. As with Nirach, no meaning that I know of :B

      OK. I've been wondering..how's it pronounced? I say it "Nuh - Rack"..but is it "Nye - Rack" ? or "Nee- Rack" ? or..something else? Riddle me this.

        A few people have asked about this before.

        I say "Ni-raq" but honestly, everyone says it differently, and I don't see the need for a 'correct' version, because it's my own fault for using a completely stupid name :B

          I've always called you Terryfayse. :>

          But, as for the name Nirach, I've always pronounced it in my head as "Near Asch" but with the "Asch" having a slight Scottish-Sean Connery inflection.
