Behind The Name Deuce

Himmel
What is your real name?: Brandon
Where do you live at?: Appleton, Wisconsin, US
How long have you played?: May of 2004, give or take a month.
Why did you start playing?: AP Computer Science class was a joke, I needed something to pass the time.
How did you come up with your name?: It's the German word for sky/heaven, I came up with it while living in Germany in High School.
In an epic battle for control of candyland, do you fight with the gummy bears or the sour patch kids?: I never did like those gummy bears, always so full of themselves and too rubbery to get a hand on...

Magz
What is your real name?: Tery
Where do you live at?: A quaint little pest hole called Port Augusta in the state of South Australia.
How long have you played?: This is one of those embarrassing moments....a fair whack of years.
Why did you start playing?: Some friends in the IRC channel for a torrent site were playing poker on boot and they dragged me along.
How did you come up with your name?: Im a girl. Everyone knows this. lol. No, ok last round my first account was InKoGnEeTo (I know this is an absolutely stupendous play on the spelling of incognito) and I was listening to the bootcast being presented by a very drunk Daisy. She shouldn't say my name for the life of her when I sent in shoutouts so she ended up calling me magneeto. Well when I got banned (ooooo bad ass) I went with MaGnEeTo. From there it got shortened to Mags and here we are a number of years later. PornMags was still the best name though or MagzFuckenTastic but only cause that was my only round 5 LDon.
If a movie was made about your life, what would it be called and which actor / actress would be selected to play you?: LOL serious right. Hmmm if a movie was made about me it would be called If I knew then what I know now. It would be about a great many things I should have done better and some things I shouldn't have done at all. Val Kilmer would play me and if Val was too busy it would definitely be played by Heath Ledger cause he isn't dead that's just a conspiracy story. Otherwise Christian Bale would be the leading man. Leading lady would have to be Charlize Theron.

Solaris
What is your real name?: Gregg
Where do you live at?: Normandy, France (but I'm English, I got lost on the way somewhere decent).
How long have you played?: Since the most recent reset but I played over 4 years ago as well.
Why did you start playing?: Some nonce told me I needed to get a life, I proved them wrong and started playing bootleggers.
How did you come up with your name?: It's Latin for "of the sun". I wasn't geek enough at the time to realise it is also an operating system.
If you could create a holiday celebrated by everyone, what would it be called? What would it celebrate? When would it be?: Greggmas, its central theme would be how amazing I am and people would shove entire trees up the arsehole of effigies of me. It would be celebrated near in July as it needs to be as far away as christmas as possible (you can't have too many trees up effigies bottoms afterall).

Zantara
What is your real name?: Well I don't like giving my real name for personal Paranoi, but everyone calls me Taz.
Where do you live at?: Canada, Nova Scotia, Halifax (no one knows it exists).
How long have you played?: 5th year playing this it's too addictive
Why did you start playing?: Well it was a phase were most of my RL friends were playing so I joined the fun. Wanted to kill my RL friends in the game, after that I wanted to kill more people. Oh ya my other friends got pissed and stopped playing haha.
How did you come up with your name?: Actually the name came to me by mistake and I have a bet that I'm calling my future son Zantara. Looks like I'm going to lose the bet cause somehow no one likes this name I don't know why!
You wake up alone on an island next to a cardboard box. What 3 things do you find in that box?: 1. I need a vollyball branded by Wilson. Tom Hanks(Castaway) seemed to have fun with him. 2. A blow up Doll! 3. A computer and an Internet service. If none of these are available probably a Gun and one bullet would make me happy too.

Zora

Where do you live at?: The Netherlands

Why did you start playing?: A friends of mine now named Secret_Woman came to our town with her parents and we became friends and she played bootleggers. First I thought what a stupid game and she hardly came outside to hang out. After a while she said why don't you play? So I made an account named m0ppie and now I still play.
How did you come up with your name?: Just looked somewhere on the net and found this one. I don't even know what it means. Used this name from last round.
