Explain Your Runescape Name's Signifigance! here

Post by lil zipperz » Tue Aug 30, 2011 10:00 pm

Pretty self explanatory.



I'll go first,
Basically my little brother used to watch me play and he loved the "zippp zipppp" sound of a magic shortbow spec. So we started calling all arrows "zippers" :-P

Seemed like a good name for a ranger, and also for people who like clothes :lol:

Kaz comes from the first 'online' game I ever played. My older step-brother was a programmer for Control Data Institute, and back in the late 1970's (gasp, when dinosaurs roamed the Earth! :-x ) he was part of the team that created an intranet game called Empire. It was a Star-Trek based ship-to-ship combat game...very advanced for its time. Anyway, instead of the Klingons, they had the Kazari. I was so enthralled by the game that I used the name Kaz as my arcade high score name. KAZ. :)

The Darth comes from Star Wars, obviously. I tried Lord Kaz, and a few other names, but Darth came up open.

My original name was Snow (followed by some numbers). Then when we were given the option to change our names, I wanted to keep Snow but add something with it. I asked my rs friends who came up with everything from Snowzilla to Snow Big Deal but eventually they all agreed on Snow Angel. Of course, that was taken so i had to add the little "s".

One of my former Irl friends named John had an account named Johndakiller. He got me playing and suggested that my username be Joedakiller. Even after I stopped being friends with him, I chose to keep the name.

Frobozz is an oldschool video game name, from the 1980 text adventure series Zork. The second game in that series is called Zork II The Wizard of Frobozz. So I became Frobozz the Wizard. I've been using the name in various video games and online accounts for about 15 years.

When I started RS in 2002, Frobozz was taken, so I was stuck with Froboz for 8 years. About 6 months ago Frobozz finally opened up when Jagex did an old account purge, and I grabbed it.

The original Zork games are now free online if you want to see how your grandpappy used to play games.

Widget was my father's nickname for me. The "la" should be obvious.

Aridan is a combination of Arielle and Aidan, the names of my two kids. I use it in jewelry making, as Aridan Fashions, and may eventually for facepainting as in Aridan Faces. It started out as Aridan4 and when name changes became available, I just threw the Lady in front of it.

The story is...
Over the last millennium, Bao Cong was known as an important person with integrity, serving strictly legal, not feared and was pretty well respected by the authority status, in orther words he was a fair judge. I've found this name very inspiring so I picked it.
