Ok I think the title explains it all. :) Aiddat is Taddia as in Nick Taddia backwards. A lot of you probably know that already 'cause my name is on my profile.

PS: If nobody minds, since new members should post here, may I or somebody else bump this every month or so?

 NofrikinfuN

NofrikinfuN was the result of me spending over an hour trying to make up an original nickname (Which didn't use numbers.) on MSN Gaming Zone around December 1999. I eventually started to type random insults into the name field, most of which were actually taken! Finally I thought "This is no fricken fun." Hence, I typed in NofrikinfuN and I had my new name. It has yet to be taken anywhere I go. :D

However, though NofrikinfuN pre-exists my time at the academy, it was NOT my original name here. I joined under the name Palidus, which is just something I made up to sound something like Paladin, as I've always liked the knight in shining armor types.

My only other name that stuck on the net was KaoS_Armageddon. Back in the day, I played Quake 2 with some friends and we made the clan KaoS. I originally went with KaoS_NofrikinfuN, but it didn't fit in the MPlayer name field. So, KaoS_Armageddon was the "shortened" version. :D

 Lightning Rod

Interesting topic here lol

The name meanings that are listed here are also pretty interesting.

LOL was wondering where "carve" came from etc.

A few might already know this, but for the rest to see, i guess i could briefly explain.

I use Lightning Rod for just about any game i play. Means quite a few things lol

Mainly its meaning comes into play in competitive gaming, pvp of some sort. In this case, although many already know what an actual lightning rod is, i use it for more of a dueling reference.

Its always been the case where id duel someone, win or lose, id always come back. No matter the damage dealt, no beating would affect me. I wouldnt give up however, but then again i am human, after a while it can get to ya lol.

So in this case, i could take on the world of gaming, take the worst beatings, and all of that effort put into defeating me(whenever it happens) just allows me to learn from it and become that much better. Improvement is always something to strive for.

I guess thats sorta what got me to where i am. I've lost my share of duels, but they've only made me better.

rdbest, I got Ten Ken from Rurouni Kenshin, the anime. It was the title of some kid named Soujiro who was insanely fast and meant something like "God Sword". I thought it was fitting because, at the time, my style involved an offensive blitz of attacks.

P.S. Is Jedi Outcast still on the Zone? I searched for it but couldn't find it.

Axion has been my nickname for gaming for a while. I named it after a Gundam I thought to be that name. Now I now it was Ultron. But Axion sounds cooler. Plus Axion is a kind of shoe. :P

Well, I used to use the name T. Siduro (which is completely made up -- yay imagination) for all my games, ever since the original X-Wing. Because I've used him in so many different games and for so many years, he has a LOT of stories and tales and whatnot. I'm actually going to be writing a multitude of short stories involving him which people are free to read if they drop me a line on my profile (of course, I'll have to write them first...)

Darth Carvonus is T. Siduro's name after he finally fell to the Dark Side. This name has many reasons behind it:

1) I was originally Darth Sidious, since Darth Sidious is awesome. While I was Darth Sidious for a while, I noticed that somebody else had joined the website with the same name. Not wanting to cause any conflict, I decided I would alter my name from Darth Sidious to something more in keeping with my T. Siduro "roleplay". I still wanted to represent the evil that Darth Sidious represented, but I decided I wanted it to have a personal touch.

2) A bit over two years ago, when I first joined the Jedi Academy, I had quite a bit of trouble picking names. Xanatos and a couple others can confirm this. I would change names about every two weeks for several months until I finally settled on one: Carve. Contrary to popular belief, I didn't come to this name because I was a dueling specialist and "carved people up." It was actually a coincidental combination of my two favorite comic book villains: CARnage and VEnom.

3) When I created my evil name, I decided to go back to my older name and follow the tradition of Sith names in that it holds some sort of significance for the user. Thus, Carve --> Carvonus, throw in a Darth, and you have where I am now.

I used to be GeForce. The first time I ever got into Online gaming. Had to find a name for Tribes and couldn't really think of any. 5 or so minutes passed and then my Graphics card cought my eye :D

Now I'm Kyle Katarn. And that's pretty easy. I was feeling so down or something that I wanted to be like Kyle Katarn :P also had something to do with Luke Skywalker I think. It's been so long, can't remember.
