MY FAREWELL GIFT

It is never truly gone, as long as there is someone left to remember.

Rime Knight on Virtue for my Ice/Ice tanker. Psi Slayer on Virtue for my Mind/Psi Domm.

---

No one pays attention to me, cause I listen to the voices in my head.

I was surpised to use the name Statesmanic

---

In the last six months on Virtue, I've gotten:

Epic Scale
Hangman's Daughter
Thermal Extremes
Catdancing

...among others.

---

I'm not the droid I'm looking for.

MA Arc ID 8121: Rapp'Mas'Ta's War. The Rikti are trying to incorporate sonic effects into their weapons? THAT can't be good. Maybe we should ask them to stop.

Noisemaker, Joybuzzer, Spoilsport, AngelDust, Dark God...all names on Virtue, all names I'm suprised werent taken before I got them.

---

BrandX Future Staff Fighter

Couple of named i'm glad i've gotten

Gunsmith Cat
Fluffy Handcuffs
Panty
Stocking
Red Dragoness

---

I was surprised when as recently as January "Miss Bee Havior" was available on Freedom.

And only a couple months before that "A New Day" was snagged, again on Freedom, which gives me endless giggles with the NPC dialogue.

---

I'm more interested in the names I once had but let slip away, which were stolen by other, less worthy, players.

Squamous

Perfect Gentleman


On the other hand I've been given gifts of names that other people couldn't use for some reason.

Faerytale

Planetary

And then there are some I came up with on my own which I'm still surprised I got.

Roboboy

Dreamlord

Mechamorph

(The) Highest

I still need to figure out a background for Ormythologist and Glassjaw...

---

Pelops, originally a Warshade, but rerolled as a Warshade-themed Dark/Dark brute, because 'Shade just wasn't working for me.

(The) Only Good Hero - Didn't really enjoy that character, so I deleted it. Last I checked, the name was still available on Victory.

Seer 1337

Pete Moss (And the proper spelling, "Peat Moss" is still available!)

(The) Moor of Venice

Incendiarie - I combination of "Incendiary" and the name "Arie"

---

@Roderick

on Virtue:

2 years ago I got Fujita Scale, still surprised at that.

Then 4 months ago I got "Puppetshow", a name I was very surprised was not taken for a Mind/Psi Dominator.

With the creation of the VEATs, I got Nox Latrodectus.

Meltdown was gifted to me by a friend who deleted it.

Elemental Lass surprised me that I was able to get when shields came out.

Hydrostatic Shock and Matchgrade for Pistols also surprised me.

Over all, I apparently have been very surprised at the name grabs I've managed.

Rift-Dancer
White-Swan
Show-Girl
Nemean Lioness

I like -'s I do. Spider-Man has one and if it's good enough for him, She-Ra and He-Man then it's good enough for me.

---

On Virtue, both dual pistols characters.

Overglocked - I actually deleted this one, so the name might still be free.

Just That Good - "Why do you toss your gun in the air before you fire?" "Because I'm Just That Good."

Everything Dark Armor | The Softcap
don'T attempt to read tHis mEssaGe, And believe Me, it is not a codE.

Damn, this thread is tweaking my altitus something FIERCE

Getting any decent name on Virtue or Freedom is tough, but I got these:
Rockroach
Rubber Bullet
Whipsmart
Heck-Spawn
Joy Buzz (Joy Buzzer was taken :-(
Matchstick Girl
Puzzling Evidence
El Gigundo
Doll Eyes
Tubal Cain (Freemason passwords FTW!)
I was amazed when Twicken Sisted was available, after I got generic'd from Chitzen Giggles.

I was all excited to get Metronome (back in like i16) until i realized i misspelled it Metranome. Which isn't like me. i suspect foul play.

Hmm, I like this thread! People have been really lucky to get such awesome names on here.

Lets see, my most prominent on Liberty Server are...

Ghost Man
Loudspeaker
Mirror Man
Hasten
Flash Bulb
Climate
Dissolver

(P.S. I think it may also be a nifty idea to have some pictures of characters created with these names. Would definitely be a great way to see what people have come up with. Just it might be similar to the "Post your best costume!" thread.)

I just grabbed "High-Speed" on Virtue 5 minutes ago.

Goodbye. Not to the game, but the players. Goodbye. Everyone, remember to have fun. That's all I can say.
