Destroyer E is the name of my 6th EV ship, which is a Rebel Destroyer. I love that ship.

I also use this name while playing Marathon.

Mine comes from my early uplink days. Don't know why I picked Vast.

My better nick which I use everywhere other than here and Introversion is Prophile, which is (fairly obviously) derived from the word "Profile", which I was thinking out before starting an account at the old Kontik Research Front because by that time I had figured out that Agent_Vast sucks more than an industrial strength vacuum cleaner, and it was the first thing that came to mind.

If the intention is to state that your name sucks more, use more rather than worse when comparing your name to an item that is supposed to suck. Saying that it sucks worse than x vacuum cleaner means that it actually sucks less than said vacuum cleaner.

Don't worry, your statement was just the straw. I've sat silent while that has happened in multiple occasions before me, and now I shall wreak my revenge upon the world who so wronged me.

That wasn't needed, and in fact i'm rather offended by that.

Going by the 'don't say anything if you can't say something nice' I'm going to stop typing...

Not even that... you don't have to be 'close' to someone to know that insulting someone like that isn't very nice. I've stuck up for complete strangers before on that premise.

Let me put it this way.

I woke up one morning and simply heard the word "Steelix" and I immediately though "s###, didn't I used to have that name?" and investigated the source. My brother was watching Pokémon and the name of the episode had Steelix in it. Steelix is derived from Steel and Elixer. I made it up when I was a wee one. Pokémon stole it.

Unless I've already posted, this is the most probably the only post you will ever see of me here because, though I do want to join, your topics are too long.
