Well, all the other names from Egyptian mythology I usually use were already in use by others, although I see no posts by most of them...

I was on the old forums almost a year ago (infrequently) but kind of drifted out when I got frustrated with Dromed after they finaly released it. Then with Thief 2, I came back for a hint, and found the thriving forums.
I settled on "Sneaksie_Coward" because I just finished Trail of Blood, and after lurking for three or four days, I somehow missed all of the posts from all of the other "Sneaksies" and decided that the name would be 'nicely inconspicuious'.
The underscore is from my unix habits, despite the fact that I moderate my own UBB forum, and know you don't need it. DOH!

Kroakie, Ilearnt mandarin using bu-pa-mu-fa and if I put a K in it it'd be too much like King Kong. And he sucks.

When I signed up for my first internet account I learned to my horror that there were a few other people in the world going by "Mike," so I used the second thing that came to mind. "Slortar" is the name of Michael Moorcock's god of evil wisdom in the Elric of Melnibone series. Come to think of it, I wish I'd used my yahoo email account name instead (sonofsanta). Slortar is a bit goofy sounding...

Being a literature major, I always try to come up with clever and evocative names. Then, after a lot of thought, I just pick something boring like combining my first and last names. What can I say? My cat is named KC Cat because we called her kitty cat while I tried to come up with a clever and evocative name. It was shortened to KC and she started to actually come when called. Since I never had a cat do that before, I dropped the search for a clever name.

It's a long story:
In 1783 the de Elhuyar brothers discovered me: They reduced the tungstic acid to get a pure me. The name actually comes from Swedish tung sten (heavy stone). In some languages I am called Wolfram, 'cause I was first found in the mineral wolframite.
In my natural form, I consist of 5 stable and at least 20 unstable isotopes!
I also have the highest (!) melting point of all metals.
To find me, just look at your light bulbs, I'm in there (often together with Osmium, who does not often post here).
so much about my name and character

I chose mine as a tribute to an experience that changed my life: the first time I played Thief. Ten minutes into it and I was already in love with the game....I'm a very sentimental person

http://www.ttlg.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif I made it plural because I thought "The Lesser Follies" would be a good name for the zombie dance review in the blooper mission :P (weak, I know!) P.S. Hope that's not a spoiler there, sorry.
