Political Crossfire Forums

Just wondering. Some of you probably have a very obvious explanation as to what your username means, but others may have an interesting story behind theirs.

At old PCF my original name was Illmatic, named for my favorite hip hop album, but that got banned and then I think I went through a number of Philadelphia Sports related usernames but since Illmatic had just been banned I guess it was pretty obvious that it was me so they all got axed quickly as well. When I moved to a new place I decided to come back and I went with Philly, which is just an homage to my hometown of Philadelphia (I don't live there anymore but I did at the time).

It's fairly self explanatory.

We wanted to pick a name that's memorable, but not easily searchable. If you search for Stratego, you'd either get the game or the wikipedia definition, but you wouldn't get our other accounts. The reason I said "we" is that Stratego isn't one person, it's a network of five people (no single person can be so knowledgeable). We call ourselves Stratego because it takes a lot of coordination/strategizing to make it appear as if we're one really intelligent person.

foadi is swahili for aggressor

Also this is why despite the numerous times cool_chick has asked me out on a date, I had to refuse. Some of Stratego is married.

mine's probably obvious.
