A lot of older members were younger when they made their accounts, like me. I was 13 when I created my BNet account. I would have ended up putting numbers in it, but I decided to go for my coined name of Dropship dude.

Wishing I hadn't included the dude.


Dropship Dude sounds better than Dropship IMO.
Yeah but I'm not sure if that's just because we're used to it.

I wish the character limit had been longer, so that you could have included "Master of the Dropships". I suppose that could be your member title, I'll have to drop urk a PM.

Don't worry about things you have no control over lol. I wanted a freaking space between Grandmaster and Ninja. The character limit wasn't letting me. But I still have an awesome name. And I think your username is great.

I spend too much time here.. too much time indeed.

I tweet?

I'd like to think my name is original and recognizable. It makes it easier for my enemies on the forums to see me coming...


Though I suppose I'd have to make enemies first... or friends-- god I'm so lonley!

I never tried to be original, the word Plain has value to me after some events in my life. Which I am often reminded of through this name.

My younger self was a smart guy.

You're asking people to state which non-released game they like better?

It's like asking a virgin whether they like being on top or on bottom.

Well, my original account was banned, so about a year and a half later I made this account.

I was 13 at the time of creation for the original account, and 15 when I "remade" the account(this account) for the sheer purpose of still being recognized from my previous.

I'm 21 now and there isn't a day, when I'm on these forums, that goes by where I don't wish I could change my forum name.

Every time I see your username. Every single time.

Now you know how I feel!
My apologies.

There's a “U” and “I” in union but just an “I” in my beliefs

Im not a Perfect Girl. My hair doesnt always stay in place & I spill things alot. Im pretty clumsy & sometimes I have a broken heart. My friends & I sometimes fight & maybe some days nothing goes right. But when I think about it & take a step back, I realize that being imperfect makes me who I am which is one of a kind, Girl hard to find. (Gamer Girl for life).I will see you through the smoke and flames to the frontlines of war and I will stand my ground until the end till we conquer them all.

Ugh at the time I moved and I FINALLY had high speed internet and I wanted to make an account. I felt soo stupid cause I had no Idea how to do it at the time so I let my now ex Boyfriend make my account for me...and thus gave me this name (facepalm)

+1 for you good sir.

Well... Adamal seemed too naked. So I added an extra 123 to be with the cool kids.

  • 09.18.2012 7:02 PM PDT

Yes, I did make that mess. What are you going to do about it?

Well I had my fist gamertag as a B.Net account for 5 years, but i forgot the password and changed to this account and it as also my first Xbox 360 gamertag and it wasn't taken. I never tried anything other then the names on my gamertags, and they are never taken.

  • 09.18.2012 7:06 PM PDT

This was my Xbox LIVE Gamertag at the time, and Even though "Blah" and "Lord of Blah" were available, I didn't even think to try them. If I could have Blah now, I would be very happy.

We fight for the grace of the Mantle
And this time none of you will be left behind

Well, SteelAssassn was already taken. By me. I forgot the password.

Close, but the plague killed those infected with it, and the ignorant are still alive.
I wish ignorance was a plague.

Because I was 14.

My Screenshots / My Group / Remember to follow the rules or you will get trapped in a box.

That is because we were younger back then. Also some of the numbers mean something. Mine do. Plus some people liked numbers in their name as well.
