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 :P :P
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 :-D ).
