I'm sure that several of us have googled ourselves. What I'm wondering is how many of us have googled our own sceen names? Was it something you expected or did the results completely blindsight you?

I'll start first. I was stunned to find out that I'm actually a small, remote village near Mozambique, in South Africa. :eek:

All the results for ben4808 do in fact pertain to me. What uniqueness.

Andraste is very common, so I didn't google it. My other two screen names however, are quite unique.

As per usual, I get the Turkish city of almost the same name (Ephesus is the normal spelling)... not very interesting.

There are no results for Tullegolar. However, the name I use everywhere else, which I may share someday should I find you worthy, is also, interesting enough, a tiny city in Côte d'Ivoire, Africa.

Let's see... Spiderweb, Slarty v. Desk, Desk v. Slarty, Return of the Spiderwebbers, Polaris, Jadewolf's forums, RIFQ, and finally, on the third page, an Ambrosia boards member who isn't me despite using my moniker. I looked into it before and it turned out to be a deliberate and brief imitation.

Then there's Icshi's page, Ptolus boards, and scattered throughout a lot of ermarian.net.

I guess I'm alone out there.

—Alorael, who used to have another presumed imitator using his name in some kind of online space conquest game. The links are no longer available on Google, so that must have lapsed too.

Most of the results for Tyranicus are about me. There are a couple of people on other forums who use the same name apparently.

Being the home of Turkey's camel wrestling championship isn't interesting?

All but one of the 1,130 results for Dikiyoba are Dikiyoba's. Almost all of them are related to Spiderweb.

Edit: Typo.

Without even looking I'm gonna wager that there are quite a few results for my moniker. Maybe even a few pictures too!

Edit - 211,000 hits, 8 images, 1 news item. Sadly when I put my moniker in quotes it only returns 2 pages of hits, mostly about me. :( Where have all the salmon gone???

"Lenar Labs" Comes upwith 266 hits, all of which deal with yours truly and/or his motley company. Most of them are from the Forums, Diki's fan work, or the Shadow Vale archives; however, I did get three hits on my own site.

You know, the previews from the forum have a lot of the older stuff on them... I find it quite nice that people have just started calling me Lenar. "Lenar Labs" all of the time was quite cumbersome.
And frankly, it's a bit more... um... friendly, I guess, than being called Grimm.

The Silent Assassin got 33,100 hits.
I didn't bother to sort through them, and he doesn't care.

The interesting thing about your current PDN is that whenever you are the last one the recent visitors list, you get listed as "Lenar, and Inc." Either that, or you have an imposter.

Note to Dikiyoba's self: Start addressing member 6700 as simply "Lenar."

EE, LJ, an ancient mailing list, diki's script, several game forums, Warlocks, spiderweb, some long essays I wrote on Warlocks tactics, some unfortunately public spidweb chats, the a4 item list, slarty vs desk, the novel I wrote seven years ago, my elementary school alumni page, boardgamegeek, several others. all legitimate references to me!

The shorter form of my handle gets mostly unrelated stuff, save slarty vs desk and desk vs slarty. and spidweb, and EE.

my full name in quotes gets a LOT of unrelated stuff, plus: several pages about ccg tournaments I won a few years back, several ancient mailing lists, a concert review I wrote, a ccg strategy article I wrote, my BoE articles & examples submission, a post to a math newsgroup I made when I was 11, and a newspaper article I'm quoted in.

I think I've been information autobahned!

Wow. That is one of the most damning things I've heard about UBB (and that's saying a lot). They merge a list of strings into one string and apply a dysfunctional algorithm to choose where to insert a conjunction, rather than inserting it before merging and skipping the algorithm altogether? Sheesh!

Yeah, I had noticed that... just hadn't found a way to bring it up.

Hi, DV... are you visiting or am I just oblivious?

EDIT: It is truly amazing what leaving out one / will do to one's formatting.

There's a series of books about an archaeoligist named Cairo Jim. I was stoked one afternoon when I got one of these books that had the main character that had the same name as my seen one.

I seem to remember a topic like this before.

Dintiradan is decidedly unique, having all results pertaining to me. The PDN I use on some other boards is decidedly non-unique (un-unique? a-unique? anti-unique?), being a horrible pun, and none of the results pertain to me.

(Searches Dintiradan+"Evil Overlord", and reads missed birthday wishes from months ago on Polaris.)
Um... belated thank you? This feels weird.
