    There'll be a thread soon. So you know. Look out for that.

    Also bear in mind that no one really cares what your name is. When I signed up "Cardboard Tube" may as well have been a kick me sign.

    Seriously. I mean, just look to the left of this. Yet I haven't been completely ostracized yet.

    Yet.

    I forget, is that supposed to mean Soldier of Darkness or something?

    Pretty much, yeah. I was like 14 when I made it up, and it's pretty much stayed with me since then.

    Sometimes I'll be amused by a name for a week, but familiarity always takes its toll.

    Holy shit

    How long have you been posting here Caulk Bite? I never noticed that 6 there. That is weird as hell.

    It's probably your eye-drawing av/sig, combined with my short attention span.

    for those who don't want to do this, I will summarize:

    -I joked about not being a numbername
    -Antimatter made a quip about The Prisoner
    -I quipped back
    -Tube felt precocious
    -Now I am the numbernames

    No I mean the syllables in there; in my head it's some like "Orikaeshi-something-something-gae". I've never looked at it and tried to sound it out.

    The best part is all the people who will come in here like, "but he got his named changed!" And then Tube will laugh.

    The joke was that it doesn't actually end in gae, though I read it as Orikae-SILLY-GOOSE for a while until I paid attention.

    He covets it because it is that which he cannot have.

    But had he registered with that name he would be wishing to change his name to something better.

    Kind of a Catch-22.

    In the interest of science, I must ask this question.

    Say I pick a name that sounds inherently terrible, even before the magic coin flip. Does that mean that I would actually get a good name if I lose the flip? Or will Tube just come up with something even worse?

    Tube would pick the first thing that pops into his head. Of course, how irritated he was at your selection of names would influence it, as would the fact that the whole name change thing in general tends to irritate.
