What do you like the most?
Thanks, yours is actually one of the relatively easy to fiddle with.
Muahahaha. è_é

What kind of a lame excuse for a... PSYCHO are you? :3
You don't get to be scared... you make sure others are scared! ;P

I've always been fond of the Myth of Sisyphus, although my name would be easy to parody. :)

Nahhh... whistles
No spoilers from me, that's for sure. :P

I don't think I'll be in the story, but nick genesis:
Started as just Anubis (Egyptian god), but then I read River God by Wilbur Smith where one of the characters is called Akh-Horus (meaning brother of Horus) so I switched to AkhAnubis to make it more uncommon.
Thanks for the train!

I always wondered about that. Its kind of what I figured, but sometimes you'll think that, and then it turns out that you're grouping the letters in a different way than intended.

Thank you for pitching in.
Won't divulge who will or won't be in it, till the fat lady sings, i think it's more amusing if people figure it out on their own, if it comes to that. :)

I really like Oppenheimer's early contributions to quantum phsyics.

Wouldn't have guessed it. :P
Jk, all in good spirit, thanks. ;)

Should have added:
I like his quantum physics contributions but I don't like his work on the Manhatten Project as this is what Oppenheimer is most known for (at least I think so).

I actually didn't misunderstand that part, no worries. :)

I doubt I'll be in the story, but it's my middle name. I'm part Hawaiian and my mainlander mother, wouldn't let my islandborn father give my sister or I hawaiian first names, so we got hawaiian middle names.
When I was younger, I hid from it, but as I got older, I came to embrace it.

Oh, I forgot to mention the other part you were looking for.
I think so long as it's tasteful, and with a simple one line disclaimer, you should be fine.
You remember the whole "SG is indie land and I don't hate indie games, but... AAA games... but I don't hate indie games"
His constant repetition over and over about how he wasn't trying to complain? That led people to believe he was really complaining.
Just make a one liner, tell the people you hope they respect your intent (and you respect them) and not any unforeseen issue you couldn't have known about/subject that upsets them, and that you're just trying to have fun at no one's expense and you should be good.

Oh, I forgot, it also means Rainbow Mist from the Heavens... LOL
How do I forget to mention what it means... Nap helped a lot.

Oh, that's quite helpful! :)
Much more grounds for artistic licence. ^^

Ahhhh fcks
I mean either way... lol
Side note: When I was pissed at my parents as a kid I used to say it meant, God is pissing.
I mean, wouldn't God's piss be made of rainbow mist? lol
No offense to people who believe in god, I'm Agnostic

nice, i thought it was a mix of names, never expected it to be a full one.

Thanks for the train! The nickname simply derives from the place I live, same as (for example) New Yorker is a person who lives in NY :)

Bump
Don't have the time to read it right now to be honest but I bookmarked the page to read it later :)

Now it's true some could feel offended by even the mere use, but you have gone out of your way here to try and prevent that, as you said yourself it's to be done without malicious intent and obviously in good fun. So as long as any nicknames are done with a jovial bent, I believe it will be fine.
As for nickname? I was a fan of House of the Dead when I was young, that classic SEGA light gun arcade game. So I became Ken Of The Dead. As the years went by it was shortened to simply KenOD. Nothing too amazing or with much depth behind it, but it's still something that makes me smile to think about all these years later.

Thanks for both parts of your feedback, appreciate it. :)
I certainly see no reason for anyone to be bent out of shape, but wanted to avoid it as much as humanly possible. :)

EDIT:
Giveaways over. Might add a few more tomorrow or so.
So... thought a lot about making a thread about this or not and oh well... here it is.
First things first:
As for the rest... well, megalomania is megalomania. Crazy idea of big-ass puzzle train in the works for upcoming cake day, that's been draining most of my spare time (and you wouldn't believe me if i told you for how long). Ugh... :/
Which has led me to miss out on a lot of past cake days in the past weeks and some other awesome events people have made (sorry about that, been super busy and should be even more so till upcoming deadline).
No over-hyperino though, please, i just hope i can deliver in time, as time is pressing and closing in. Don't expect all AAA games either. I'm not made of money.
Not enough slots for full idea completion... yet. Hence small train with a few more modest bundle gibs to open up more slots.
IF (and it's a big if, trust me) i have enough time, to go along with the puzzle train, there should be a sort of SG-Parody .
Should that happen, users will be made fun of (or something like that), all in good spirit... as a hommage.
It's for a good cause... THE PLOT. :P
Now, again... should that happen, every username will still be twisted into something else... a caricature, if you will (for the obvious reasons, mostly).
That said, i would still like to point out that some of the users appearing as NPCs in aforementioned parody, i've had little to no interaction with. It's no less of a hommage on my behalf though.
No username (or its caricature, to be more precise) will be mentioned with malicious intent. Unless you're Bear. :3
If you feel you have any feud with me, trust me, your username (caricature or not) will not be on it. If it is, then it's a small token of appreciation for whichever positive contribution you've made towards the community, not the opposite.
Also, don't take it to heart if you're not in it, when push comes to shove. :'(
There's only so much time i have... and so many ideas i can come up with that suit the plot, etc. and such and such. :'(
If i do manage to get at least 80% of what i had planned actually done, you'll (hopefully) understand much better as to why it is so time consuming to include each and every user that has been included, when the time comes.
But what i wanted your feedback on... is this:
Would you think there's any way for you or other users to find the parody offensive, even after my explanation (and said use of caricatures instead of real usernames)?
Regardless of whether you're gonna be (or already are) on it or not, can you share any info (literally anything) regarding the genesis of your nickname? Pwease? :3
Don't be shy... if you could muster the courage to post your mugshot on eeev's thread, it's not that much to ask... :P
It's not that easy to make a caricature of some usernames, without background. :/
And context... context helps. Yes, context. Context is nice.
Sidenote:
The Blacklist... don't want to delve too deep into this, but to avoid drama (not the other way around)...
Sadly mine has grown a bit more than i had ever anticipated, gonna be honest... and i take no joy in it, believe it or not. :/
But please avoid BL drama, if not for me, for the sake of others who surely don't want to sift through toxicity in this thread.
I kindly ask people to avoid BL drama amongst themselves as well... and other type of drama in this thread, for that matter.
That said...
In that regard, and in the same spirit of positivity and open mindedness, I'm willing to listen to people willing to talk to me about being in my blacklist, if they wish to do so.
But i won't do it here, sorry. You can add me on steam if you really wish to do so.
And i'll be completely upfront so i won't waste your time lying to your face. If there's no chance of you getting out of said BL, i'll tell you right off the bat, but won't contribute to any naming and shaming, so will only express my reasoning through steam chat, should you still want to hear it.
The vast majority there i really don't see a way out of it for them, but if you feel you've been dealt with unfairly, then just please proceed as i said. It's really not a big request from me, nor a big concession from you.
It's the first time i've opened that door, and i'm not expecting people to bow down or kiss the ring or whatever ill-conceived low expectation you may have of me. I'd rather not open that door at all for that. Trust me, don't, it's your call, but be respectful of the whole environment here at least.
And i won't put up with abuse either, got better things to do with my life and so should you. Talk to me respectfully and i will do the same.
TL;DR:
The train. Yes, yes, i know, gibs. :)
Don't expect much at this point though, it's what i can for the time being, considering i'm not made of money and am hoping to save better stuff for upcoming cake day.
