Name change? [Archive] - Colony of Gamers

Someone suggested I post this here. If it's not too much trouble, might I get a name change? I'd like to simplify things and change it to my Live ID, Vigil80
Would it change my login also?

Thanks much.

Pft, people with numbers in their handles are just plain silly.

I was thinking of going with Sir Adam Bluestein or Bubbles.

Maybe Antidisestablishmentarianism Honorificabilitudinitatibus. Or, Ant Horny for short.

Aw geez. I'm not trying to start some epidemic of name change requests. Just thought it'd be nice. I'd delete the post if the option was still there. :(

Great, now I don't know who you were before.

He should at least for a while put who he used to be in his signature or as his title so people aren't confused.

Nah, let's just act like he's the new guy with a magically large post count.

I think he was.....Prizefighter? That seems right.

Who the hell is carnage11? I remember carnage10 but then his posts sort of stopped and suddenly we had this guy.

I smell tomfoolery.

You shut your face! There are no carnage's but me, for I am the one and only true carnage.

Interesting enough, if you google carnage11 there are two entries on google's first page. Me from here and me from EvAv.

I don't know either, but I wish they'd ban that guy. He's annoying. :p

You can have something done by asking politely!?!

You sir have violated the spirit of the internet! :p

Personally I was going to let the thread drag for a bit and get to him, then do the name change. ;) Doc's nicer than I am though.

I liked it originally because it was something that wouldn't already be taken, and was a half rhyme with "vigilante." But nobody ever seems to get it.

People I meet on Live tend to call me virgil, vy-gil, or vagina. :(

I think that has less to do with your name and more to do with the fact that it's Live. ;)

Yeah, it's true. No name is safe from the verbal contortions of anonymous internet lameasses.

Oh yeah, virgin. That comes up a lot too.

They probably can't think of any other words that start with a V that could be insulting.
I'd expect things like "V-gayzor". Hell, many might not even know that "Vigil" is a word to begin with. Then again, I don't own a 360 because of how much I hate Live, so my extremely biased opinion is hardly an accurate assessment. :D

Thanks man, you're a real nice guy. :(

Aww, I was only joking! Please don't be offended. :(

At least your name isn't one letter away from Stroke. You have no idea how creative people can be. :(

As long as you were joking, then I'm ok. Otherwise I was going to cry myself to sleep tonight.

On Live I've been called Camage. wtf is camage?

I actually prefer Prizefighter, but hey....it's your name not mine. :p

You can hold back those tears, at least for now.

Bannings should start with those with 9000+ posts so they can be rehabilitated from internet abuse :cool:

A banning would do wonders for my gaming and reading time! :eek:

Banning the official Mascot of CoG? Never!

Speaking of which, we really ought to put a gnome in that spaceship on the site banner. :p

I'd be all for that. :D

After all, I did get blasted up in a rocket ship during Half-Life 2: Episode 2.

People can't pronounce my handle; i.e. in TF2 last night when some people tried. Thinassmoose works fine for times like that, I guess.

Every once in awhile I'd get called a wetback since my name tag is BrowncoatElvio. Little did they know....

Hey, I liked the name too, but too generic. One name for the boards, another for the consoles, and yet another for the PC? Kinda inelegant. But you fellas are free to refer to me in your favorite manner. I'll still respond. :D

You play on Live and you don't expect something like this? :confused:
No, none of it was unexpected, Just sharing my pain, like group therapy. :p
