by Mojo Rising
My name comes from the lead singer of the Doors, Jim Morrison, who anagrammed his name to "Mr. Mojo Risin'". That and the fact that I am told I bear a striking resemblance to Mike Myers, who portrays Austin Powers in the films of the same name, I thought the name appropriate. Anyway, that's the story of my name. It has not always been my name in the game but it is how everyone knows me now and I am not about to change it.

Dynamo means (roughly translated) "power in motion", which pretty accurately describes my playing style.
About 3 months after I started playing SGW's I discovered that there are about a million sports teams throughout the world named Dynamo also; I discovered this when I was massed by an angry fan of a losing opposing team (who's defence I have since visited quite a few times).

i used to have an account that was just plain astarte, but after 2 years at boarding school and limited internet my poor little account got massed to oblivion so i deleted it
after that i decided to make a new account so dadadada astarte666 was born
the long boring wiki explanation:
Astarte (from Greek Αστάρτη (Astártē)) is the name of a goddess as known from Northwestern Semitic regions, cognate in name, origin and functions with the goddess Ishtar in Mesopotamian texts. Another transliteration is ‘Ashtart; other names for the goddess include Hebrew or Phoenician עשתרת (transliterated Ashtoreth), Ugaritic ‘ṯtrt (also ‘Aṯtart or ‘Athtart, transliterated Atirat), Akkadian DAs-tar-tú (also Astartu) and Etruscan Uni-Astre (Pyrgi Tablets)
blah blah blah

You should have told your officer necromancing is not good

And since we're at it, Lucky Starr is the name of an Isaac Asimov character ( if you don't know who Isaac Asimov is, you don't need to know me either anyway

).
