Reinventing Mahself

***Nate*** · #1 10-03-2007, 04:08 PM

Yeah, so when I first joined OWF all those years ago, I chose nate_dog_woof as a user name because I couldn't think of anything better. Truth be told, I never really liked it all that much. So now I've decided to do something about it.

In the interest of clarity, I'm not changing it to my first choice (thorn) but instead just shortening it to 'nate'. Haven't decided on the capitalisation yet.

Hope that's not too confusifying.

Salamander · #2 10-03-2007, 04:17 PM

Keep it capitalized. User names look better when they're capitalized.

Bullet Magnet · #3 10-03-2007, 04:25 PM

As if I didn't have enough to remember, now I've got to mind that "nate_dog_woof" is now "Nate". This is more confusing than the rechristening of Alphascrab!

Strike Witch · #4 10-03-2007, 07:44 PM

I wanna change my name...

Eh, looks good. I'll remember it.

Marvak · #5 10-03-2007, 09:56 PM

I've always known you as 'Nate' anyway. It'll be much better.

Salamander · #6 10-03-2007, 11:21 PM

I, for one, liked the name "nate_dog_woof", it (for some reason) made me think of The Foo Fighters. The Foo Fighters are cool.

Rupture Farms · #7 10-03-2007, 11:35 PM

Yeah, "Nate" sounds better.

***Nate*** · #8 10-03-2007, 11:57 PM

Good thing I changed. I loathe The Foo Fighters.

Jordan · #9 10-04-2007, 12:06 AM

Nate sounds a whole lot better. And easier to say too.

Strike Witch · #10 10-04-2007, 02:47 PM

I always thought of it as "I'm Nate. My Dog's name is Nate. So I'm Nate. A dog. Woof."

Or something.

Rex Tirano · #11 10-05-2007, 02:41 AM

I like it, Natey!

It's how we all know you anyway.

- Rexy

Patrick Vykkers · #12 10-05-2007, 03:22 AM

Technically, though, shouldn't you change your name (or ask Nate/Alcar to do so if you cannot) to Rexy then, Miss Tirano?

Good on you Nate. It's what we know you as and easier to remember, as Marvak and Jordan already pointed out.

moxco · #13 10-05-2007, 01:19 PM

Natey, nice on Rexy. We should force him to change his username to Natey.

Have you heard there new song, The Pretender? It's excellent. Anyway, since the day I joined I had always thought you were a Foo Fighters fan (for some strange reason that I cannot recall), now I have closure.

I cannot understand why anyone would want to change their user-name to their nickname, fourtunatly Salamander has no possible nick name (which I can see.)

Mac Sirloin · #15 10-05-2007, 02:13 PM

Months ago I thought of you as Nate_dog_Woof, but only recognised you by your Avvie, so I couldn't care less.

Leto · #16 10-05-2007, 02:22 PM

You're the new Esus! I don't remember his second name.

I also go by avatars more than names, so name changes aren't that drastic, especially since we all know you as Nate (well, most of us).

Yes it does! I will list a few:

-Sally, and...
-Mander

I'm done.

Me could be ESSEM. Haven't beed to GD in a year or whatsits.

(and the Pretender made me lose all faith in the Foo Fighters)

Shouldn't you change your name to obnoxious prat? That's how we all refer to you. Seems fair.

To Nate Dog Woof- Don't change your name, dude. I hate to tell you this but just having it as Nate makes you sound gay. It's weird, I know. But it's the damn truth.

So do I. Thats why it gets confusing when Hobo copies peoples avatars.

He mustn't know! HE MUSTN'T KNOW!

Top stuff, and long overdue. May the confusion between Nate and Nath commence!

Sorry, but it's always good to make people double take at least a little

Patrick Vykkers · #22 10-08-2007, 12:28 PM

Nath? Seems like a rather strange comparison.

I tend to go by avatars too, and thus Slaveless' avatar change confused me.

***Nate*** · #23 10-08-2007, 05:47 PM

Nath is the name of another member, who still pops by occassionally. And, yes, I did consider her before changing. And the postman.

Patrick Vykkers · #24 10-08-2007, 06:43 PM

Hmm, never seen her. Then again, I generally post in Off Topic and RPG only, as generally Oddworld is relatively silent, so if she's a semiregular there, I would have missed her.
