Question: Should I change my Tombstone name?

Tombstone · Post by **Tombstone** » Thu Aug 31, 2006 1:08 pm

Please vote on the attached Poll!

Hi All,

I'm wondering if I should change my Tombstone name to my real name: Chris

Why am I asking? I guess it's because I get so many puzzled looks when people ask what my userid is here. (Many think Tombstone is kind of a dark or negative reference.)

So, I'll open it up to you all. Give me your vote!

I havn't voted yes or no to the poll, purely because it's a personal choice, mate.

I do think Chris has a more 'personal' ring to it, which perhaps might be better for an administrator, but thats just my opinion.

It's whatever makes you feel comfortable, not what other people think.

Tombstone is cool. Makes me think of an old west town.

Indeed on both counts. I'm curious to what FG'ers think though. I'm an inquisitive type.

Tombstone is more mysterious! I say stick with that!

Besides...they never advise ppl to change their names. Actors never do when they get married. It totally messes with their vibe!

Well, the cool thing is that very few people know what I look like.

Although there is a photo of me floating around in here somewhere. zing!

Look, I have enough trouble trying to remember where I posted last, now you want me to remember that Tombstone is now Chris and that's different from Criss?

Give an ol girl a break. I can't do it, I just can't! My mind isn't what it used to be!

Do you know how confused I am with all these extra emu's walking around in the garden! Are you trying to drive me completely bonkers?!

I don't understand what you people have against me :-1 What have I ever done to you? :-5 :yh_cry

Should I change my "Tombstone" name?

As "the man" you need to carry a ring of posture with you. When you walk the FG halls monitoring the misfits and the many derelicts and uncouth members that make up this garden I should think Tombstone commands the authority needed to reign in the respect needed to rule your nation as it is. If you become too familiar with your subjects the night creatures will have you for breakfast.

I dont think I need to mention names here but its quite clear who the troublemakers are. We know dont we Tomby ? As your diligent general and master of arms you know that all you have to do is say "Go Get Em Tiger" and blood will flow.

Nuff said.

Hey, I'm a derelict, uncouth misfit !!! WOW !!!!!!! Does this mean my street cred has just gone through the roof??? Can I add bad-eyed and loveless, to give the whole amazing, gothic punk rocker type pic. Oh and mad, bad and dangerous to know with just a hint of stylish sleaze.

Yep you have to stay as Tombstone, because if you turn into another Chris, my mind is going to go even more confused than it already is, (and believe me that is not a pretty sight!!

You could change it to Mr. Tombstone, or Chris Tombstone Esq., I suppose, but I

can't see any real reason to change.
