Whoa.. so many.. "costumes"! I've never seen such an event in a forum like this... I will have to reccomend this to other forums.. And I don't even celebrate Halloween or even decorate the house... I've already recommended this tradtion to another place I've been going to lately. It's doing better than I expected..  |

Is Proboards the only boards that allows users to change their display names?
That's one of the reasons why I use Proboards for the forum I run for my friends.

About Name changes:
Dashe, if you'll approve, I've found a new name I'd like to go by after the event: Atsuma.
It's a name I found in a video game and the character who had it was almost 97% just like me, so I'd like to drop 'Aw Heck' and go by Atsuma after the event.

To be perfectly frank, I'm still mentally calling you Adam because of your first username. Too many switches makes you seem less like a person and more like a screenname without anything attached to it. :-\

Yeah I figured there where a few like that who called me by that old cannon-fodder name... But Atsuma would be the last name change other than Halloween events I can assure you. If you play Enchanted Arms(x360/ps3) at least until the first Lady Azlight golem fight, you'll know why I wanna go by Atsuma, he and I are surprisingly alike. |

This would be your third name change so far! Aside from Halloween, I've only ever had one! It seems really impulsive considering the circumstances you gave, and I don't think taking on a fourth name would be appropriate especially during Halloween season, and especially considering the new member migration.

"Aside from Halloween"?
I think you've messed that up somewhere along the line, Miss Dashe. I've only changed my name to Aw Heck, and then for then to VQ Sei. VQ Sei strictly being for this event, so it'd actually be my second and i assure you final name name other than Halloween events.
It may sound compulsive but trust me when I say, I dont claim a 'character is 95% like me"(or higher percent) unless it has meaning.

- Adam
- Aw Heck
- Sharukurusu (which admittedly was a joke, but there were people here who wound up calling you by that all the same).
I've got to put my 2007-line ZXZ+ Oddity-clad foot down on this one. Just be yourself, because we'd rather have the real you around than a fictional character that happens to be 95% like you. That 5% matters.

Well I should state this then:
IRL I've decided I'm gonna go by Atsuma as a nic-name and need any and all reminders of it since it is hard to say, and that missing 5% is strictly from the fact that Atsume in EA cusses, whereas I dont, so he's literally a perfect match.
(I cant believe I forgot about the joke-change, my bad Dashe!)

Honestly, I can't believe you didn't send a PM to request this, first of all, but now that's beside the point. :-\
Nicknaming yourself after a video game character hardly ever works out IRL, especially when you're the one prompting it. I've spent a lot of time with gamers like you in my life ("My name's Dan but you can call me Link, people do it all the time!") It's more common than you think and seriously rarely ever works out. People change over time, but video game characters usually don't.
As far as these boards go, if you like Atsuma that much, just change your avatar and sig. It's far, far, far less confusing for the rest of the world and looks that much more mature.

It never works for people who do it all the time, But in honesty, this is the first time I've even ever heard of it, and I guess it's safe to say if you can't play EA you wouldn't know exactly why it's so much to me, so oh well, I'll let the dead dog R.I.P.
You mentioned you'd rather a PM have been sent and you mentioned all the newer members, you also mention 'during the Halloween event'.
I can clear some misreads up:
I posted in-thread so that people would know who it was, not just mods, but all people, of whom cannot see a PM from me to you.
I also stated "I found a name I'd like to go by after the event."
Also, a lot of people pick a random, popular, VG chara they have less then 50% in common with, whereas I've got extremely high standards of what I'd even play let alone go by the name of a chara from it.
Alas, it seems I've hit a roadblock, so I dont guess it'll be getting done... Now I'll let the dead dog R.I.P.

Thank you for not doing the above conversation via PM. The last nine posts gave me the best laughs all day.

 I’ve nothing to say on the matter of nicking yourself after game characters, thank you. My thanks goes out to Green for snagging the image for this one. Remind me to cake you in the future. Costumes are looking good so far. I especially got a kick out of the Zombie Totoro.  Loved me that painting when I first saw it. Though I’ve not actually watched Totoro, so I haven’t had to deal with the whole childhood memory corruption thing... |

Though I’ve not actually watched Totoro, so I haven’t had to deal with the whole childhood memory corruption thing... I'm glad you people are liking my costume.  Here's the original artwork by sachsen in case any of you were interested. Here's my costume: My Zombie Totoro. Hopefully it's still appropriate for this board (and doesn't destroy any childhood memories). You know what, I take this back. Happy Halloween! May all of your precious childhood memories of Totoro be totally decimated in the most horrific way possible! ;D |
