One of my favourites, too - whaddaguy.

Flashman is the protagonist in a series of books by George Macdonald Frazer and one of the great fictional characters. He was a coward and a bully who, through no fault of his own, found himself in the thick of most of the major battles in the 19th.C - Custer's last stand, The Charge of the Light Brigade, The Indian Mutiny, The U.S. Civil War, Harper's Ferry, The Taiping rebellion, The first Afghan war and the Sikh wars among others - a true "anti-hero". Essential reading if you enjoy History and a good laugh.

It's interesting to see that many of the aliases came about either through typos or other similar unintentional snafus.

Not many were created deliberately.

Yeah, that is pretty strange. I always wanted to carefully formulate a nickname that NOBODY else had, so i woul not have to put any numbers in it. You all probably know that I HATE how no matter WHAT your name is on the net NOBODY can spell it, much less remember the numbers at the end. People seem to have problems with "Nickel" and spelling it like "nickle"

Haha I bet people would be able to remember your name and be able to spell it if you went with "Abcdefg"

I wonder how many people register a name like that?

"satchmo" is short and easy to spell, yet its origin is not plainly obvious to most gamers.

That's why I picked it.
