Thread: how did you get your BF2 game name

Played a lot on Drippy's 2 Fort which is still around but another Animal Mother started showing up and I was bored with the name so I created... The Sniffer of Questionable Poon. Seemed appropriate given some dubious encounters while I was in the Army... I later discovered BF2 when a buddy got it for me as a gift. The full name was too long so I shortened it to Questionable.Poon and I almost always get a positive comment on it. I did get banned on a Christian server for my name and I think there was another one too.

Later

Yeah those Christian servers...I just dont understand them. Seems kind of hypocritical to me. *shrugs*

I thought they supported our troops... I guess the truth shines in the end

well..... mine duhh ..... simple

Gatita = Female kitten in Spanish

Andy = short for my name

Both are nicknames my family and friends called me for years. I had a group of friends who liked to play starcraft, we got really good and we played several tournaments they put my name together (my battle name) I wanted to go Killer_Andy or something like that but they insisted to let the "guys" know they were being served by a girl. I guess there used to be something like "male pride" back then he he he he..... ....... and I have been using it ever since. and that is that.

...... SOY---- I am impressed!

Andy

Never once in my entirety have I ever wished I was a marine. Ever.

There's this group of gamers called Crusty Old Fossil Rockers, who, when I joined was mostly playing Counter-Strike (I think I've seen ButterMonkey on a couple of times on TTP). The premise of CoFR was that (at the time) you had to be over a certain age to join - at first it was 25 then it turned into 21 or something like that. Mind you, this was at a time when the average CTF player age started downhill into the early teens...

As for the Moo, well long story short back in teh late 90s I was into sailing a lot and so I was on IRC as SirDrake, the legendary privateer dude. Then I started hanging out on the webs with the people who run distributed.net, where the project mascot is the cow. Someone also gave me a giant stuffed cow as well, so I started going on the internet as Cowbert - which was me playing on Scott Adams's Dilbert comic strip (figured he had a dinosaur named Bob, needed a cow sidekick whenever Ratbert wasn't around). In any case when I was on the CoFR servers, someone kept making fun of me for being a duck (as I was [CoFR] SirDrake for a while). I wasn't about to change it to Cowbert (because I *knew* they were gonna be smart about that and call me a female bovine from that point on if I did so), so I changed it to SirMoo.

Yeah, that's twisted...

Hey Moo.....What did you sail? I grew up with sailboats. Instead of having a cabin,like everybody else here in Mn.,my parents always had sailboats. The last one they had was a Cape Dory 36.6(cutter rig). I used to love sailing.... Now my addiction is hydrofoiling,but I could still skipper the shit out of pretty much anything.Friends of theirs have a 54ft. yawl,so I'll borrow that about once a year for a weekend,just for old times sake.
