When I was in the sixth form at school, someone managed to put Unreal Tournament onto the school computers. You had to be given a special shortcut to access it. The Head of IT let us keep it because he had bet us that if we managed to get a game onto the new network we could keep it, so long as we only played for half and hour at lunchtime before the room opened up for study.

I cycled through a number of self-depreciating nicknames before settling on Bullet Magnet. It stuck ever since.

I am considering getting a new handle for any potentially professional endeavours, but I don't think I would change it here. The initials are too familiar now.

First off, your Head of IT sounds positively unemployed compared to the scrupulousness of mine. Though we never had anything as fancy as UT.

I can remember some of the names I chose for school gaming. Patulous Pax and Squarical Padouk.

I can't imagine anybody here with a different username.

I thought somebody would already have MeechMunchie, and I was surprised that no-one did, so I took it. Also I always liked Meeches and the 'Extinct' poster. I suppose if it had been taken I would have been FlamingCarrot, which I use for most stuff. Looking far into the mists of the potential futures, I see RideTheWalrus or Infected. Though I probably would have come up with something on the spot.

I like MA's acronym because it sounds a bit like Murray (which oddly enough lead me to compose a new lyrics to the first verse of 'Cheer up Murray' while I was scanning the forums one day. I have sworn only to reveal these at a time of direst need).

Also, Used:) makes me think of Acid. Probably the smiley. 'I got totally used last night' and so on.

Splat 01-11-2010 09:28 AM

Excellent use of list tags, there, Max.
How many of those are multis of MS1029?

Wings of Fire 01-11-2010 09:51 AM

Splat, you sarcastic s.o.b. Why are you always so nasty to Max? What has he done to you?

used:) 01-11-2010 10:22 AM

The origin of Oddworld Forums #1 Spammer, Mars the Mudoken...
 
Alas, you know me.
Hate me too...
So let me sing,
a poem to you...

Oddworld has been,
a memory quite vast.
Because of my recklessness,
it has scarred my past.

But after Munch's Oddysee,
I wanted more.
And so I learned,
of adventures before.

And then news reached my ears,
of a new game from the odd.
I got it and played,
the last game of the quad.

Many years later I was bored,
with nothing to do.
When a thought crossed my mind,
of a thing I once knew.

So through my research I discovered,
of all the games I had missed.
When I learned of these things,
I would play or be pissed.

Of course nothing worked,
and I couldn't play,
the adventures of Abe,
until one fateful day.

A demo perhaps,
but I was fatigued.
I had tried everything,
and so I was intrigued.

50 tries later,
it finally works.
A piece of Abe's Oddysee!
With humor and quirks!

But my love for the series,
wasn't finished yet.
And found this nice site,
after searching the net.

So then it came to a username...well that was easy.
The name of my Odd fan-character, even though it's cheesy.

BUT NO, I simply HAVE to screw up!
Spelled the name wrong!
'e' instead of 'o'.
My spelling isn't very strong...

Yet it's become my name here,
even if I spam.
It's just like me in fact:
A screw-up, but it's who I am!





...and so my poem ends,
of my name's history.
So now you all know,
and it's no mystery.

From past to present,
it's all true.
And now this musical mud,
must bid you ado.

Josh 01-11-2010 10:55 AM

Isn't your name due to your illiteracy?

OANST 01-11-2010 10:56 AM

Or maybe his inability to keep to any kind of mode.

abe is now! 01-11-2010 11:16 AM

Your post's title is a fail, the spammer number one is MS1029 even though he's banned.

MarsMudoken 01-11-2010 11:23 AM

Well, #2 spammer sounds bad. What do you think of it anyway?

Your spam? Fantastic.

OANST 01-11-2010 11:25 AM

I thought it was asinine and trite.

Like Gundam.

Munch's Master 01-11-2010 11:26 AM

I truthfully have no clue. What I do know is I really dislike it and want to change it. I just have no idea what to change it to.

MA 01-11-2010 11:26 AM

fucking christ. more ban please.

(not munch's master).

MarsMudoken 01-11-2010 11:27 AM

Cheaters! You people are neg-repping me just because you don't like me! IF YOU'RE GOING TO CALL ME A LOSER, HAVE A REASON!!!


And without sarcasm and pregudice, jokes or humor, in all seriousness what do you think of it?

MA 01-11-2010 11:27 AM

because you're a dick. i told you that already.

OH, and because you wont learn, and now we all cant be arsed.

Wil 01-11-2010 11:28 AM

Please don't provide the urchin with an aspiration.

Poem dammit! You people are neg-repping me just because you don't like me! IF YOU'RE GOING TO CALL ME A LOSER, HAVE A REASON!!!

IF YOU'RE GOING TO COME IN HERE AND ACCOST US WITH YOUR GODAWFUL POETRY THEN HAVE A REASON! WHY? WHY DID YOU DO IT? DID YOU THINK WE WOULD LIKE IT? FUCK, I DOUBT ANYONE EVEN READ IT.

OANST 01-11-2010 11:30 AM

I read it. I could critique it too.

Wings of Fire 01-11-2010 11:30 AM

WELL FUCKING DO IT THEN

OANST 01-11-2010 11:31 AM

BUT I DON'T KNOW ALL THE BIG WORDS YOU DICK

MarsMudoken 01-11-2010 11:33 AM

You people refuse to be serious. It annoys me.

MA 01-11-2010 11:33 AM

says the cause of our annoyance.

MarsMudoken 01-11-2010 11:35 AM

I'm not annoying you anymore. My poetry isn't that bad you just won't forgive me for when I spammed before. You guys are laggy. Not correct.

Splat 01-11-2010 11:36 AM

(Edited at MA's suggestion)

I think it was a waste of your time to put so much effort into that in an effort to earn the respect of people such as OANST and Wings of Fire who are rude to you because they think it's funny, not whether you deserve it or not.
But points for trying.

And WOF, I was joking. Which I imagine Max knows.

OANST 01-11-2010 11:36 AM

Spam in verse is still spam.

And don't give me any beauty in the eye of the beholder shite.

His post was on topic, unlike the rest of you guys. Just silly.

will you stop being so self righteous with us? i visit and regularly contribute to FC, and yet just because some members do not and stick to OT you stereotype them. very short sighted.

and when you join a serious discussion here and the debate gets heated, you say we're flaming/trolling/being silly.

OANST 01-11-2010 11:41 AM

Come on MA, someone has to inject some reason here.

Splat 01-11-2010 11:42 AM

Uh, people were being rude to him, which other members have been banned for recently, in FC. Why do people get preferential treatment, just because they know how to spell?

Anyway, I wasn't generalising. I was referring to the people being rude to Mars. SO now I shouldn't tell people who are rude not to be rude because people who aren't rude might take offence?
Fine, I shall edit my previous post so it does not insult rude people in general and see if people like that better.

MA 01-11-2010 11:44 AM

now who's off topic.

EDIT: you edited.
EDIT: and you edited shit into the post that will guarantee to cause hostility. well done.
