    FFXIV Character

    Nutty Eoff (Sargatanas)

    Default

    I decided if I am joining a FF form I should think up a name to do with FF. Someone called me a Nut earlier that day so it was in my head. FFNut is the result.

    FFXIV Character

    Loony Bob (Twintania)

    Default

    Wow, I went to search my posts so I could copy/paste an old one and it turns out I have never replied to one of these threads since the purge of 2003.

    So there are a few reasons that tie in to my username. The completed nickname of Loony BoB came together in the year of 1995.

    1. When I watched Terminator 2, Arnie's Terminator was introduced by John as his "Uncle Bob" and I thought at that point that someday I want to be an Uncle Bob, so the Bob part kicked in.
    2. Because my cat was already named Bob, and because of how I "signed" my nickname, I decided to spell it in text as "BoB".

    3. The loony part just seemed to fit in at the time. I was a weirdo. Still am, sorta.

    And yes, I am an uncle now, so...

    I was really into kingdom hearts at the time and couldn't think of a username as I was signing up so I saw qwerty and stuck an xsora at the end. Later I swapped the xsora for saur which is short for ivysaur. The qwerty part stayed because Leeza wouldn't change that part.

    And here I thought your name was a reference to the Carnelian Signet from FFIV!

    Ha! No, not that big of an FF nerd, I'm afraid, didn't even know there was such a thing as the Carnelian Signet.

    It's a big plot point near the beginning of the game, so you wouldn't really need to be a huge nerd to remember it

    Just play it It's good

    Are we talking Iain M. Banks, here? Which book are they from then?
