MrBiggMan66... Don't remember LOL, I've had it for several years. It may have been AOL being stupid with what they would allow me to name my account. and now I use it for a lot of user-names, keeps things simple lol

Ingame: Selvaria Bles - Awesome character from the PS3 game "Valkyria Chronicles" :) A must play for anyone w/ a PS3 lol. They made an anime of it but meh, the game is better.

Im sure the older members will remember the TV series Kojak. "Who loves ya baby"

And when I was in my apprenticeship, I gained the nickname for having a shaved head and going thru around 200 lollypops a week lol..

Hence Kojak.

Koji, has came about with ppl shortening Kojak to Koji, and kinda stuck with the closest ppl ingame.

Hmmm...well, back on 01 March 2005, I registered for this game, and at that time the hardest part was establishing a name for the account.

There were 2 major things I was looking for:
I wanted something original and somewhat stands out.
Something that would not easily be duplicated.
and to a less extent
I also wanted it to described what type of player I was going to strive to be.


At the time I was rather fond of word Tactical and so I wanted something with that in it. I forget exactly what line of reasoning got me to the combination of the words Tactical and Commander, but after using it I liked it.


Thus, TacticalCommander was used in game.

As for my forum name, I just used my existing in game name out of convenience.


Creative: Agapooka
Unusual: EnterTheLion

Too date: I've not been able to figure out where those names came from.


Funniest: TACTICAL COMMANDER
Yes, someone who was mad at me for something changed their name to my name with all caps, added a space, and then left the game. The account went inactive for a time and either no longer exists, was vacationed, or the name was changed.

As for the coolest.... don't know.

TC

Originally it was going to be Grizzly but someone in alpha was called Grizzly already so i played around added a few Z'ds took some away made one of them capital and ended up with GrizzZzzly.

Don't really have a reason tbh.

My name is from my time when i was still playing online game, starwars jedi outcast III Jedi Academy.
The 'ARC' in ARC_trooper stands for "Advanced Recon Commando", its the superior class from the clonetroopers. (as i am told lol)
It was also a class in that game which you could play (and i pwned with it :D)

Anyway, its from starwars.. If you have nothing to do just search it somewhere on the internet :p
