However my other alias's are a tad more difficult - GAMBIT (still easy) and DRUAGA (I will give you a clue - it is in mythology). _________________ Tom Webb Author Page: http://www.newtonwebb.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/thewebb Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/thenewtonwebb Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/thenewtonwebb

Anything to do with this gem I found on google? Or did you create him? MOJARN PIETT - Penal Legion Lieutenant - NPC 'Porky' Piett is renowned for his ferocious appetite, as his enormous girth, and constant extra ration load clearly demonstrate. The unfortunate souls who comprise the Penal Legion live in mortal fear of him. Although unsubstantiated, stories abound about his methods of dispensing justice, and how his sentences can be coloured by the amount of time elapsed since Porky's last meal (and whether the accused has plenty of rations or not). One (possibly apocryphal) anecdote reports that during the months-long siege of the Penal Legion's garrison on Wakkalub Ill, Porky fried and ate wounded troopers... Whatever the reason, Porky rarely has much trouble from the convicts under his command.

Just out of curiosity; and bonus points to anyone who knows where "Mojarn Piett" comes from. Mine is a simple story. I'm not exactly a tall guy even now, but when I was in primary school I was the tiny one. Thus one day the school bully (3 years my senior) decided to have a go at me. He jumped off a small set of steps and with a two-handed fist blow to my head, knocked me to the ground as he came down. I got back up, OK but a little dazed - However, he'd broken a number of bones in his hand. Hence the name "TuffSkull." The name very much stuck, and later became my online nickname & now I can't get rid of it! When I started doing websites, some referred to them as the "TuffSkull Network." This in turn got shortened to TuffNett for my first business, and TuffNett Productions Ltd. when I registered my company almost 3 years ago. Thirteen years on and I still have a couple of mates who occassionally refer to me as "Tuffy" for a laugh since they're both 6ft+ & built like blocks of flats & I look like some kid if I stand between them, but it's mainly online! ? Come to think of it, there are probably more people who would recognise the name "TuffSkull" than there are those who would know "Paul Townsend," which is rather weird. _________________ Cheers, Paul "TuffSkull" T. http://hobbybrush.com - My New Website, with thousands of painted Mini Pics :) http://hobbybrush.blogspot.com - My Hobby Blog TuffSkull's notepad- My Old Blog on Wargames Wiki.

However... Tuffskull is lodged in my mind! _________________ Tom Webb Author Page: http://www.newtonwebb.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/thewebb Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/thenewtonwebb Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/thenewtonwebb

Brood Brother Joined: Thu Mar 06, 2003 10:01 am Posts: 7823 Location: Sydney, NSW	Tas is a term used in our Naval ships and refers to a specialist position onboard.  It stands for Torpedo and Anti Submarine officer, and means the one person on the ship who is a specialist in hunting submariens and th tactical emplyment of torpedoes. I am a TAS specialist by trade for some time now, have held the TAS job in 4 ships and now instruct baby TAS officers.  The Tas officer is always called "Tas" by other officers in the ship, thus my online nickname. It has nothing to do with coming from Tasmania! _________________ Tas My General blog: http://tasmancave.blogspot.com/ My VSF Blog: http://pauljamesog.blogspot.com/ My ECW Blog: http://declaresir.blogspot.com/

Quote (netepic @ 01 2003 Aug.,12:03) Anything to do with this gem I found on google? Or did you create him? BINGO! We have a winner; and I must say you are even more civilized than I have thought.   The reason I chose Mojarn to be my alias. Well, first of all, I have started to get worried about the expansion of my lower torso for a while. Though I am not fat by any standards it is aesthetically displeasing. Second, I couldn't bring myself to took on the mantle of a hero (which I definetely am not) -so I chose an anti-hero. And this probably tells scores about the level of my self-esteem... Third, I wanted an alias connected with my hobby, yet one which nobody else would want. _________________ I don't know and I let who care. -J.S.

Celtic mythology?

My nickname isn't so "nick." It's real! However, my family uses another name legally here in the states so I adopted the older name as my I.D.. It's also a variation of my nickname from French class years ago - Maxime Valors.

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

P.S.
Kudos to anyone who can find out what Smelchak means.
