Okay fellow Bungie members,

I have seen alot of usernames in my past year or so on Bungie. They range from the unique (OfTheBloodguard), to the not-so-unique (ifarted697804).

So I wanted to know, what was YOUR inspiration for your Bungie.net username? And what would you name it now if you could change it?

My inspiration was my GamerTag. I keep my changed username secret so you landlubbers don't steal it :D.

If I put pancake mix in my X-Box 360 Disc drive will it make pancakes?

I like blue(especially cyan). Wolves are interesting and would look funny Blue or Cyan. Cyan wolf with a Katana would be slightly more interesting.

I'm sorry. Shall I modify it?

Reason #1: Ghosts slide as we've learned from Halo 2 and Halo 3.
Reason #2: Ghosts are purple. I like purple.
Reason #3: Ghost is a nice code name for covert operations.
Reason #4: H3 Elites slide when they toss grenades and move at the same time.
Reason #5: Ghosts are known for their accomplishments. I want to be known for that too.

"That's about all that can be said for plots, which anyway are just one thing after another, a what and a what and a what.

Now try how and why."

Youthful stupidity. While the name was originally a word salad handle used for online games and was correctly spelled at one point, misspelling "homicidal" was a deliberate but ill informed decision. I was using the computer while as TV had an episode of CSI playing in the background. One of the characters said the word with a really odd pronunciation. Odd enough, in fact, that I thought it was a different word altogether.

Too young to know the value of actually checking things like that, I decided to modify my name to have an 'o' in place of the 'i.' I'm pretty sure that I remember coming up with bunch elaborate explanations here and there, but the fact remains that I did it because I was a stupid kid.

As much as a I dislike it, it does serve as a humbling reminder of my less than mature and informed tenancies in the past. :)

My GamerTag is the effect of a young me, YouTube, and the username "Jirachi" being taken.

EDIT: Dang my Shift key for not working :/

This thread reminds me of that guy who got the "Magic Touch" Title.

“Oh, it’s a little bit of everything, it’s the mountains, it’s the fog, it’s the news at six o’clock, it’s the death of my first dog, it’s the angels up above me, it’s the song that they don’t sing, It’s a little bit of everything.”
- Dawes, A little bit of everything

1) Heard Podtacular had a channel on the HBO IRC.
2) Being an active member of Podtacular, I decided to check it out.
3) Joined with the nickname "Killimanjaro" (as this was my previous tag during the H2 days)
4) KP, who was a mod there, thought I was someone else trying to avoid a ban and kicked me.
5) Then he kicked me again.
6) Again.
7) Again.
8) I was slightly miffed, and rejoined with the nick "Kickimanjaro"
9) People seemed to laugh, and I liked it.
10) I also stopped getting kicked.

It stuck.

EDIT:
I do find it humorous though. There are crowds of people who call me "Kick" and other crowds who call me "Kicki". It amuses me, as I do not care much which is used.
