I have not posted in many moons but I wished to comment on your name. To date you have the best ever GM name I have seen. You have my deep respect for choosing such a funny name, or if I am wrong my sincerest apologies for any offence I may have caused by commenting on your name.

I remember when I heard the choice of names I was like "O'rly?". O.o

Q u o t e:
How do your names get selected. After they hire you, you get a sticker that says "Hi I'm Vrakthris"? Always wondered that (This includes CMs & GMs hehe)


If we have a position where a pseudonym is required we will be asked to send in a list of 3-5 names. Availability is checked and the appropriate account is created. :)
Q u o t e:

But I wanna know the reason. ;)


The reason for what? Our particular names?

Yeah. :3

Sorry, typing half asleep is bad.


I can't speak for the others but I selected my name the way I name my characters in every game I play. I find a sound or combination of sounds that I like, and that I feel are appropriate for the race/class. Then I build from there. I will usually hit a random name generator to give me an idea and a combination to try.

I wanted to make sure that I had multiple syllables and that any shortened version of my name would still fit. I had a few variations for my name, only the first selection had the hard K sound though.

I actually didn't know which of my avatar selections would be granted to me until after my name was approved. I think Vrakthris fits the very earthy, friendly and direct Centaur that I am. :)
