Game Name Change vs. BBS Name

[WarTooth]

Hello,

Though I hope to not make regular changes of my name, my in-game name has changed and I was wondering what my options are to align my BBS name?

Thanks for your advice,

WT

Options are:  Put your game ID in your signature.  Create a new account.  Or email support and request that they change your bbs username for you (I'd suggest not attempting that today when there is a backlog of weekend email and outage complaints).

Skuzzy told me he really doesn't like changing BBS names. Honestly, make it easy on him and just make a new account.

I changed my game name after two weeks. It was originally Xasthur but when I decided to subscribe a while after the initial two weeks I decided to try something different after being met with two many expressions like this:  when my game name was Xasthur.

The pronunciation of the name escaped too many people and I can understand how annoying that it is. I hate it when I have to double-take people's names to figure how to bloody say it.

I changed my game name to Archaius which, in hindsight, was probably not the best choice given the amount of different pronunciations I get on that one. I get "Ar-key-us" and "Arch-ee-us" a lot when it should be "Ar-kay-us".

I don't care though, I know they're talking to me.

Many end up just saying "Arch" or "Ark" which is great, it's nice and easy to say and type.

Just put your in-game tag in your BBS signature or avatar and people will know who you are.

A few people actually call me 'Xas' in-game, too, actually. So don't worry, people will put it all together.

< too easy.

(Oops, I thought my game tag was in my sig, I forgot I put it in my avatar instead)

Seriously?? I thought that was simple grammar, but isn't that one of the Pokemon?

(edit: Scratch that, the Pokemon is Arceus)

Pokemon? Most certainly not. 

The intended meaning of my username is somewhat convoluted and vague. It was not really supposed to be easily identified.

The etymology of its components are:

arch (adj.)
1547, "chief, principal," from prefix arch- (from Gk. arkhos "chief;" see archon); used in 12c. archangel, etc., but extended to so many derogatory uses (arch-rogue, arch-knave, etc.) that it acquired a meaning of "roguish, mischievous,"

archaic
1832, originally of words no longer in use, from Fr. archaique, ult. from Gk. arkhaikos "old-fashioned," from arkhaios "ancient" (see Archaean). Archaism "an archaic word or expression" is attested from 1748.

Sirius
from Gk. Seirios, lit. "scorching".

Make of that what you will. Don't over-think it, though, it's not intended to be overly cryptic or loaded.
