Guest spartacus Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 We all had a chance when we joined to select our user names ! What was the reason for your choice ? I chose Spartacus, because I love the film and he was a bit of a rebel, just like me ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Scanderbeg Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 Scanderbeg(Iskander Bej in Turkish meaning Alexander and "Bej" meaning general. it was a title given to the best generals),yes I know it spelled incorrectly on mine, I told my friend to type it while I went to the bathroom and he typed it wrong ....I was too lazy to fix it ) Anyway he was an Albanian general who held off the Ottoman horde from Albania and Italy for over 25 years when they were at their height. He defected from the Ottoman empire and founded the Albanian flag. He was honored by the Pope as "Defender of Christianity". He managed to halt Mehmed II twice and stopped him from gaining access to the Papal States and the rest of Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Germanicus Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 I chose Germanicus, because he was extreemly popular with the people........not really like me, but maybe one day (Of course I'm talking the original Germanicus, not his psychotic son) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatboy Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 I chose fatboy because thats my nickname in real life since I was a kid. All my friends call me fatboy or a variation on it - usually " fat " or " the boy ", or since I went to France on my holidays once, often " le boy ". Even my teachers in school would say " fatboy, why haven't you done your homework ? " People are always suprised when they meet me to find that I'm not fat in the slightest. It in fact stems from me being an almost comically fat baby. Once my friends saw my baby pictures that was it - I was christened " fatboy ". Not to worry, they all have much worse nicknames.

Primus Pilus Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 This thread got me to thinking that as a site admin and the author of most of the site's historical content, I should be less anonymous. I originally chose primuspilus because of its obvious command implications but mainly because I simply liked the ring of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.Clodius Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 P. Clodius, I liked what he did and what he stood for. Rock the boat! I'd love to have known what he'd have done had he lived longer and how he'd have reacted to Caesar's bid for power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Scanderbeg Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 Yes I would love it Primus Pilus. The correct spelling of the name is Scanderbeg . Sorry it took me so long to answer back but I went to sleep after my post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
