:o , no joke Checkmate was the first thing I thought of after reading your username after meeting you for the first time and finding out your name was Nate.

Weird huh.

@Sir Tavic, I hate using numbers too, so I add unique prefixes and suffixes and try to think up out-there sort of names with only a personal meaning.

I normally despise numbers as well, but my first forum name did contain a number (11). I first tried to use my real first name, but someone else already used that (Not joking: It was the chief game programmer of the game company.). Therefore: 11. This has since changed to letters.
Because there's no fun to be found in being normal.

I also hate numbers. One of the reasons behind iamgoofball. I used it because no one else uses it. Most of the time, people perfer stuff like "Ubermageman545" and "SkIlLsMaStErLeEt54654" and etc.

Well, a Swit is a man from Switzerland. You see, a person from Sweden is call a Swede. So,in like term, a man from Switerland is called a Swit

S'wit is a Dunmer insult like N'wah.
But on another note: Is/was there an "Avron the Dark" or am I mistaken?

Not when I know the reason behind it, and was the person who actually reported (in a nice way) the fact that the first checknate was probably a user that had made a mistake :mrgreen:.

'Cause she married Cam... but then they got a divorce... something over who moved the seat on the battleship or something.

Mods can change names. The common peasant folk, like us, cannot.
