Because, after all, a rose wouldn't smell as sweet with any other name.
I was recently told by a newbie that I seem to be the leader of the forum... but he had only been on the forum for a few days. That certainly wasn't enough time to start discovering our characters properly...
So it led me to a conclusion.
In life, there is the body, and the mind.
Usually, the body works as a kind of advertisiment for the mind... which is what the person should be interested in, but I doubt many of the men here are interesting in anything less than the body... :D
But those rules, of course, don't apply here at all.
Our mind is torn straight out, and put on screen... no body to advertise for us... just raw facts of who we are...
Or is it?
The only other presense of us... is our name.
So, what IS in a name?
Does it affect peoples judgememt? Does it affect our view of them?
Obviously names like SeXi_BeIsT are going to make us weary of it's occupant mind...
Does your username make you feel more intelligent? Does it show people your real perception of yourself? WHY did you choose the name you use?
My name, I think, stands out for it's quiet absurdity, and puts the word *intelligent* straight into the naive newbies fingers, for that reason alone.
Other names, such as Meka_Dragon, and Wookiee Monster also have dominance because of their name... they are original, and long.
Also, names are a statement of ourselves as well... such as the way we dress, or our confidence of ourselves.
There is a difference between cocky, (WeLl_HuNg), and quiet confidence... mind.

What is a apoc?
That's a joke? :D
(That's a sense of security?)
That's a sarcastic brain?
(That's an overstatement?)
...Oh shut up.
(Now THAT'S self satisfaction.)

I chose The Game because The Rock was gone and I like wrestling all my internet names have game in them except my hotmail address which I incorporated my real name with the y2j but anyhoo, a name means nothing really, I mean it does make people judge, I mean if you are called The Gamesmaster, people assume you are a ponse that still raves on about the latest Mega Drive releases!
But anyway, that is why I chose 'The Game' simply because I love wrestling and it was new the chances of it being taken were slim to none!

The Game
What category would you stick my name under? :)
Bearing in mind I didn't choose it for it's actual meaning
(yes I've heard the jokes already: Are you feeling Edgy Edgy?)
I've got a good reason why I chose my SR name to be Edgy!
Edgy's my nickname (everyone calls me Edgy in school)
I prefer being called Edgy, it gives me a sense of character! (Even if I have none)
