Reason Behind Your Screen Name

[hrcho]

Just curious, how do you pronounce hrcho?

Try to say harrow. Now remove "a" and add "cho" instead of "ow".
 
If you are a windows user, go to Control Panel - Speech and type hhrcho (double h is not a typo) in the voice preview text slot. That's how it's pronounced.   


I still haven't decided if I resent or like my name being tough to pronounce for people whose native language doesn't fall into Slavenian category (especially Germanic languages (English falls into this group) are having a tough time). It does cause me minor problems when traveling, but it is also fun to watch people struggle with it.

for the record, I was pronouncing it correctly

Eh, I thought it was something like "harcho", but I guess I know how to pronounce it right now. You know, it's hard for a Spanish speaker to try to speak a language with five-lettered words and only one of them being a vowel.

[Mythdracon]

Mythdracon. A corruption of Mithrandir, with a dragon added? Or maybe a mythical dragon? The "Dracon" part comes from one of Heroes of Might and Magic III's campaigns (in the Armageddon's Blade expack) about a wizard seeking to slay a dragon. Unless it was the Shadow of Death expansion.

[leokula]

Leo is from Leonardo, which is my name, and Kula is from either Kula Shaker (the band) or the character Kula from The King of Fighters. I guess I was playing too much KOF and listening to too much Kula Shaker when I made my first e-mail address in hotmail back in 2002 LOL , leonardokula. Then it stayed as leonardokula and leokula in most websites.

[Witchkingx5]

When I saw The Lord of The Rings for the first time, the Witch-King became my favorite character. But when I tried to create an account on an old email server I don't use anymore, Witchking was already being used. So how did I come to the x5?

During first class in gymnasium, apparently about 5 years ago, we had to chose a password for our computer account on school. I already had a nice one that no one will ever find out, but our teacher told us that it would be much safer to add like a random number and a random letter to it. Butthe x actually wasn't that random, it was more like a leftover from my old, always used nickname DomixXx, which is not referring to porn at all, but to the triple-x-movies. I had the idea from a Czech friend which I actually didn't ever meet after that (which was about 7 years or so ago...).

So yeah, the x5 from my first password somehow remained, and when I signed in at the old email server, I took the x5 as extra letters to create "Witchkingx5". And now I use it everywhere.

[jdizzy001]

I thought it had to do with the rule of 4 card limit in an LOTR deck.  Something like, I AM THE 5th WITCH-KING!

[Witchkingx5]

Well, actually I had once 5 Witchkings in one of my Decks, and as I was writing the Decklist, it was like:

...
Witchking x5
...

but that happened still like 2 years after I chose to use the "x5" for NIcknames and so on.
