Well, everyone, how did you all make up your forum names?? Favorite food, cartoon, TV show character, etc...


EDIT: Also talk about your avatar/ex-avatars, too, if you want.

This is a long one for me...

Okay, well when Battlefront 1 first came out, I got it for my birthday. That was 2005. When I first started playing, I used an okay user name and I really needed/wanted a better one.

I played with the Hero setting's on (for those of you who played BF1, you know what that is ). Hero setting set one Good Guy and one Bad Guy one the battlefield. Usually one Jedi, and one Sith. My favorite battlefront to play on was Cloud City: Platforms. I usually played the Clone Wars era for that. The Jedi/Sith couldn't die unless you rocketed them off the platform, but the only way to do that was to use the "heavy weaponry." People with missile launchers, or ships usually did the trick.

So I usually chose the clones and would make it my business to kill the Jedi/Sith whenever I saw him. I used the Clone "Arc Trooper."

So I went around killing the Sith every time I saw him. Each time, with the Arc Trooper. I considered him the number one clone. So, I decided to switch my name and make it a cross between "Arc" and "one." This happened within half a year of when I first got BF1. I've used it for a long time! Arcones.

The proper pronunciation is: Ar=Pirate Arrrr
Cones=Cones

My nick

Tyche was a cat. Specifically, a Siamese seal point that my daughter bought. She wanted affection as a kitten, but would bite after only a couple of seconds of petting. I told my daughter to either train her not to bite or I would - but if I trained her the cat would end up mine. Guess who ended up training her (it took about 3 weeks). She used to stand on my lap with her front paws in front of the keyboard watching the screen when I typed. When I first got on the internet, the ISP asked me for a user name. The only thing I could think of on the spur of the moment was that cat, and I've been Tyche ever since.
