Manco 04-14-2012 01:25 AM

Posting about username
 
The mods were nice enough to give me a name change, and advised me to make this thread. So now I’m “Manco”, which is nice because I use that name pretty much everywhere else.

For me, it means I can now post without having a stupid-sounding name follow me around*.

For you, it means you can now scorn my posts without also scorning a stupid-sounding name.

“OddHunter” is gone, now let us never speak of it again.


*depending on your tastes

OK Oddhunter.

Manco 04-14-2012 01:46 AM

God dammit.

Wil 04-14-2012 02:12 AM

Hey, I remember you from everywhere else you go!

MA 04-14-2012 03:13 AM

formerly OddHunter, motherfucker. formerly OddHunter.

MeechMunchie 04-14-2012 03:24 AM

Not gonna lie, I really preferred OddHunter. But then I preferred Kastere as well.

MA 04-14-2012 03:29 AM

Kastere will always be known as Kastere to me. it's been too long. same with Ghost.

MeechMunchie 04-14-2012 03:31 AM

And if you'd had a username before MA, I certainly would remember it.

Fuck, I just noticed that.

The problem I had was that I registered with that name back in 2007, when I was a lot dumber and younger. It really had that “hey, I’m such a big fan of the games there’s a reference in my username!” kind of feel that just made it sound like it was written by a kid.

MeechMunchie 04-14-2012 03:56 AM

I don't know, I just associate it with your old Clint Eastwood avatar. You were just a Hunter of things that were Odd, like Van Helsing or something.

Manco 04-14-2012 04:02 AM

Everyone loves that Clint avatar for some reason.

Walking home last night, I genuinely thought to myself "What was Strike Witch's previous username?" and I just could not think of it.

Tell me about it. Then again, I was 13 when I registered, so the kid part is true.

JennyGenesis 04-14-2012 05:35 AM

Manco?

Is that a company that makes or sells men?

Wil 04-14-2012 05:37 AM

Yes it is. I wholeheartedly recommend paying for the services of Manco.

MeechMunchie 04-14-2012 05:38 AM

I just think of this.

Varrok 04-14-2012 05:50 AM

That. I see that whenever I see "Manco".


Eastwood avatar was cool.

Phylum 04-14-2012 05:51 AM

Why are you posting about MM?

Varrok 04-14-2012 06:01 AM

Why are you posting about me posting about MM?

Crashpunk 04-14-2012 06:57 AM

If you want to forget about your old name, can't you change your custom rank to something other then Formerly Oddhunter? Unless it's a rule or something.

Oh and is your Avatar Spyro related by any chance?

This.

Must be a rule. I know I didn’t ask for it, but eh.

Wil 04-14-2012 07:24 AM

The same is given to every user whose name changes. Mac had it. Strike Witch had it. I've still got mine.

T-nex 04-14-2012 07:54 AM

But what if Oddhun- I mean Manco wanted to be "Né OddHunter" as well, hmmm? >: (


Manco sounds so manly now :3 Teehee.... But I still miss Oddhunter :( I liked that it had an Oddworld reference.

Crashpunk 04-14-2012 08:10 AM

"Manco the Oddhunter." There, everyone happy.

Mac Sirloin 04-14-2012 08:25 AM

I check posts by avatar and read about a dozen of Manco's posts before checking this thread.

I'd be fine with reverting back to Kastere as well but that would be being a pain in the ass.

Mancoddhunter. Hunter of manly fish.

OddjobAbe 04-14-2012 08:44 AM

Should have been Blondie.

STM 04-14-2012 08:51 AM

Guys have you noticed, Oddhunter is never around at the same time as this Manco chap?

Sekto Springs 04-14-2012 09:06 AM

I actually wanted my name to be changed to just "Sekto", but Wil said the name was taken by some guy who joined like four years ago and posted twice.

C'mon Wil... C'mawwwwwn.

Splat 04-14-2012 09:32 AM

Maybe you could change to 'springs'?

Or sligspringer?

*Hides*

That was kinda funny :p


I suggest we all just get a name-change just for the hell of it! We could have a name-change party. Even impersonate each other. forever.

Wil 04-14-2012 09:50 AM

Let's all change our name to Alcar!

Dynamithix 04-14-2012 11:53 AM

Manco was the name of my dad's pet chinchilla.

Mudokon_Master 04-14-2012 01:26 PM

My name's underscore is annoying. Every time people abbreviate it it looks like a smiley face.
M_M

Crashpunk 04-14-2012 01:33 PM

But that's so cool!

Wil 04-14-2012 01:39 PM

You're only saying that because of what people shorten your username to.

You can't impersonate ME! Only I get that privilege. I own you all!



Alcar...

Mudokon_Master 04-14-2012 03:14 PM

Thank you Alcar.

Splat 04-14-2012 03:24 PM

When was the last time Alcar was even online?

Alcar.
