Where/how did you come up with your Graal name? - Page 3

Drakmith · #81 09-25-2003, 07:47 AM

I saw head835.gif one day (Enclosed) And the thought just instantly came into my head, incorrect spelling and all XD

People kept telling me Bluu Kat looks better, but omg... It reminds me of Majin Buu >.o

So I stuck with Bloo Kat

I got the name origionally from "Gooji" (From Monster Rancher), but changed the j to a g because it looked better.

Whoo, Monster Rancher fan.

My name came from Dragon Ball Z. Vegeta is known as the dark prince. I took it and flipped it and got Prince Dark.

I like pickles on hamburgers and was searching for a graal name after a few failed attempts. I've gone by several names including Mr. Poopypants, Zeratul Aegea, I like pickles, Sir Pickles, and now I'm just going by Pickles. Lots of people here that are unable to read call me by my account name. That about wraps it up.

Everyone was a newbie once, right?

Sephiroth was my favorite character in FF7, and (7?) years ago, I was the first one to register that nickname at a website called cheatplanet.com, before it became all popular and trendy. It was a really close-knit community, but I thought it was cool. I called myself both that and "Dark Templar" after my favorite unit in Starcraft.

Years went by.

The community got big, and the guy who ran the site stopped caring about the users, so we all went our separate ways. A lot of us went to ninworld (a new site started by one of the more well-known members), so I hung out there. That's where I met Nappa. We fought and stuff, we were the best there (though I was a bit better than him

). Ahh, memories.

Anyway, Nappa told me of a game called Graal, but I couldn't play it becuase I had a mac, and had no capability to emulate windows well. A year or two after that, I got a rather nice Dell, and finally checked out the game. I registered the account "SaitoHajime" after my favorite character in Rurouni Kenshin (Of course, now that it's released domestically, every half-wit and his brother knows about Kenshin now, when it was formerly limited solely to anime fans). At the time I didn't know that your account name was something everyone could see, but anyway, I did start off with the name Sephiroth. I used it on Graal for less than a week, as I saw too many other people using it. The first random name I could remember/think of was Tseng, and the rest is merely history.

A few months ago, I decided I'd start using my real first name (Lance) here, and so it was done. Using this name just seems better, to me.

GoZelda · #88 09-26-2003, 09:09 PM

Okay, prepare for a long story.

Long, long ago, when i was a mad Zelda fan, the name of my website was GoZelda Website. From Go, Zelda!. That's how i got my name. And i found Graal because of Zelda.

I like Tseng better. Lance looks so much like Lancelot.

Mh, when i was the uber pwn on Graal Classic, and king of lag on my dial-up, lol, i met this great friend "Mirrorshade", and we were, like, not the pwn, but we had great fun. And i later started a guild, named The Emperors, but i made the guild tag EMP, like Electro Magnetic Pulse XD And then i quit Graal for a while because i had everything, and my guild-thing was dope (it still is), i played runescape, but it sucked and i logged on Graal and i was like "omfg i'm such a fool, i must_keep_playing XD", then it went p2p, but my cool PW friend bought my account 'n stuff, and later i bought Gold, mainly for forums, and i was happy and i was the greatest 2k2 ****s but i soon became friends with Joeukon Fukiyo and Heyo Mystichi, i joined Zormite, lol, i finally became lvl.11 what was real decent those times, and then maps were released XD. Now i know a lotta scriptin', quite alot for my thirteens year old, and i like Graal. The community is cool, with Kai, and Lance/Tseng, Pickles etc. Yes, pickles, i know your problem, people call me Gozelda, Godzilla or something XD

I totally don't get this. How can a person be any stronger than any other in text-based, freeform combat?

I think its called 'God-moding'. I don't do text-rpgs. Anyways:
I used to play on Dino Valley under the name '2d', got bored with that and decided to change my name to my rap nickname 'Rabid'. Not a long story.

ShadowStrike2k1 · #94 09-27-2003, 04:47 AM

Actually its a funny story, me and rabid were playing around in his mothers bed room and found his daddys gun and then we had consentual relations with eachother but I accidently fired the gun into his foot.

and he yelled "FU SIGNAS"

the name stuck

Last I remembered his power level was 6.5 billion and mine was 6 billion or so. It's not that hard to understand, the more people you fight, the higher ur power goes and the more damage you do (or pretend to do). If a person with 10 powerlevel punches a guy in the face with 10,000 power level, it wouldnt hurt, but if it was vica versa, the guys head would fall off. If he didn't take the hits, thats a mode (god mode).

At the end of the chats we started basically going by who was stronger by WPM, though.

Is this variable stored in the game, or is it arbitrarily decided by the user?

Valder · #**100** 09-27-2003, 09:29 AM

It's a bit late but I don't even remember where the hell I got my name from... From what I can remember... I got it from someone I heard say it many a day ago... So yeah...

I'd walk in with an infinite power-level that kept rising every milli-second.

Increases were determined by a set formula; the variables were stored in a database.

alarid0 · #**103** 09-27-2003, 11:20 AM

Valder, there's some city near me - Valders, Wisconsin
but seeing as how you've probably never heard of the place that couldnt be it (hell, *I* havnt even heard of it before we had a cross country meet there)

The protagonist of Lawrence Watt-Evans' first Ethshar novel is Valder of the Magic Sword. It's also a common name throughout the series (Valder).

Amagius · #**105** 09-27-2003, 05:27 PM

Wow, I was young then. Amagius just hit four-five years ago. I tried to make it sound like I put thought into it, with Armaggedon and Shadows an such, but truth is, I have no reasoning behind the name.

Though I'm tired of people trying to pronounce it.

A MA (G)SHEE(With a slight 'shh' accent) US

superb · #**106** 09-27-2003, 08:25 PM

I think there was an enemy called a Templar in Final Fantasy 6. hehe

Ningnong · #**107** 09-27-2003, 10:12 PM

I remember the first day I went on graal... I was like dang what can I have as a nick? I was like "think of one quick!"

So i thought....Ning....nang? Yea Ningnang! Then I said, no that totally sucks... So then I (somehow) thought of...

Ningnong! and there i was born!

Later to be known as:

NINGEH!
NIN***!
NONG! (anU used to call me that o.O)
NINGI!
NINGY!
Ning to the wong bong dong! (Brent)

and various other's...... most common is ... Ning.. lol.

So ya.

*edit* ... that nin*** part reads ning-ay.

Bow_Before_Bricko · #**108** 09-28-2003, 12:22 AM

Well, originally, when I started Graal a few years ago, I went under the name 'Gafgarion', which, as some of you may know, is a character from Final Fantasy Tactics. The name stuck for quite some time, until one day I realized that having an original name is way more awesome than having a 'stolen' name. After several short-lived name changes, I came up with Frog Gero, which originates from Radiofrog (My 'musician alias'- I do alot of music composing). 'Gero' is the Japanese version of 'Ribbit'. It's pronounced 'Geh-row', not 'Jeh-row', by the way.

As for my account name, let's just say it's a long story.

Your signature image is over the size limit, you might want to fix that.

GryffonDurime · #**110** 09-28-2003, 09:37 PM

GryffonDurime has always been my psuedonym, so I use it for graal. As for where it came from, Gryffon obviously a misspelling of a Griffin, and Durime....well, if you've ever played RealMyst, it started out as Gryffon du Rime (Gryffon of Rime) and evolved into one freaky word, Durime (Either Du-Rhyme or Duh-Rhy-Em)

I got my name when i was watching J5 play Graal. He was showing me the game because i was interested and i had saw a guy named Shadow (Dionne) and some kid Lustness so i put the names together and figured ide do ShadowLust. I had some other freaky names i thought of but this was my 1st p2p. People just started calling me SL on bab so then i am known as that name now also lol.

I was walkin' on Classic, then i saw the name "Cyrix" on a house. I read LoTR before, so i made it "Cyrigorn" from Cyrix and Aragorn.
Then, i shortened it to Cyrin, or *Cyr. And i sometimes use Cyrindar.
