    Hello! I'm Potiq

    I hope you're all having a pleasant day/night.
    Here! take this! :cookie:

    My username has no real meaning to it. Five years ago I played a game called "RuneScape", and I wanted a five letter username. I thought the name sounded cool, and it was pretty rare to have shorter name like that so I picked it. I was 13 at the time, and I've stuck with it to this day.

    For listening to the story of my name, I hereby present to you five sugary delights! :V. . . :cookie::cookie::cookie::cookie::cookie:

    I hope to see you all on release day, it was nice meeting you all!

    Welcome to the Crusade...i mean community ^^

    Your story is similar to mine - kinda like brothers in lore *nod* :D (cept the "speedy" got added to my name in Guild Wars 1...and there seems to already be a Kihaku on the forums T_T)

    Mercury Gilado Existential Complex

    [​IMG]Here, drink this while I tell you the story.

    It all started in 2006. I needed an email address, but I didn't know what to call it. I want to be a writer, or possibly a game developer, you see. My aspirations were much broader in that time. I wanted to be a story teller. For one story I dreamed up that was dear to me, the antagonist was named Mercury Gilado. In the story, he was an alchemist who found immortality, but he experimented on his entire family to perfect the concoction, turning them into horrible monsters. In the present, he desired to raise an army of corrupted people, in order to challenge the balance of the universe. It was kind of dumb, but it was a step towards my dreams nonetheless. I wanted a short and sweet name, though, so I joined the two words. It's pronounce mer-KIL-ah-do, with extra stress on the 'K' sound.

    Welcome aboard.

    Welcome dude, I'm pretty new myself. Seems like a nice community from what I've seen.

    As for my name; I'm a mild type A hemophiliac, and since my diagnosis I've found blood-related screen names to be fitting. :cool:

    Hey there im new here too!

    *High Fives* and Cookies allround :cookie::cookie::cookie:

    The Username do_i_ob came from me wanting something symmetrical. Normally when i play online with it it gets abbreviated to doob or dooby. Thats really all there is too it. I use it on a bunch of websites, but the place im most active on is modb!
