I can guarantee that I recall correctly better than you can . Drogue had called me Whaleboy (while I was still elijah), hence using my nickname IRL.

Yes, but you adopted it soon after a poster (it may have been Drogue) called you Whaleboy in a thread in the OTF.

Are you having a pedant competition with Urban Ranger? Merely because something happens that has the possible consequence of a given outcome... given the outcome does not mean that the initial condition was the predicate of that outcome . Though from your perspective you wouldn't have known that, but you have this nasty habit of thinking you know better than me on the subject of me. If I want a biographer I'll let you know, but for now how 'bout understanding that people generally know more about their own lives than you do for them?

Actually it appears to be a subset habit of thinking he knows better than anyone on the subject of anything.

I came round in a pool of urine just off the Reeperbahn, and discovered I had inexplicably gained two tattoos. One read "Lazarus and the Gimp" while the other read "Susan".

I thought "Susan" was a bit girly, so there you go. Incidentally, I think I may only have one kidney now.

I also happened to recall that you stated your decision to adopt it in that thread, or in a thread responding to that thread.

I happen to have a particular interest in this incident because I spent a long time after calling you elijah anyway.

My nick on both Swedish and international forums used to be Olaf Hårfagre, which is closely related to both my real name and my poodel rocker teenage period. And a viking name fits on a site like this. But I eventually grew bored of it.

My name is Ollie and I am a chemist. And the name itself is a subtle troll to all those who wanted to invade Iraq.

Too much work for me... Please be kind enough to type out the story again (though I've heard it)

Mine is a takeoff of a board game (Hexagonia) I created about 12 years ago for a bunch of my friends who wanted something more complex than Risk with just as much of the backstabbing.

Well I know that's not the case since I wasn't to surprise Drogue and his friend... nonetheless, despite my conviction that you're talking out of your arse, a link would be handy . And yes you do seem to take an interest in me... should I be worried?

I like the unique nature of my name. I've never met another Sava... I know of some, but still, among the people I know, I'm the only Sava there is.

Uniqueness (is that a word?) is a big positive for a name. I'd hate it if my name were Mike or John or something else lame like that.

I knew there was a really cool reason you'd been holding out on. That crap about bit-characters never really rang true.

lord of the mark is of course the title of the kings of Rohan in Tolkiens Lord of the Rings (of whom the two who appear in the books are Theoden, and his nephew and successor Eomer)

It also happens that my middle name is Mark.

Interesting.

I always thought it was because of, 'no sign, but the sign of Jonah,' and a play on your old nick of elijah.

Just wanted a civilization type name: [Civ][Unit]

I wanted a civ that doesn't exist (as a country) anymore and I didn't want anything too modern

It was a long time ago, but i think i was almost Zulu Horseman or Zulu Chariot...I think elephant works better though.

Also, many people seem to presume, from the name, that I'm black, which isn't the case. Weird that.
