Some one did inform me that there is an other Burning_Monkey out there soiling my good name. I might have to kill him and take back what is mine by right and blood.

smokingun: Member; +2|6689|Houston, Texas

I registered Smokingun in the demo before the game even came out, lucky choice because now i have some smokingun_1 and other smokingun names. I guess trying out the demo was good after all.

mads: Member; +22|6572|haderslev, denmark

oh no.... I didn't really felt like a noob - until I saw the poll this morning.. 168 votes and only 13 was 10+... atleast I'm not one of the 8 who tried and failed..

and it's not like I was just over 10 attempts. it wasn't 12 or 13.. it's was way up there, where you stop counting a long time ago..

on the bright side - atleast I'm happy with my account name I_invented_BF2..

and a lot of you guys apparently get this satisfying tinckling feeling in your body, when this game is driving you crazy, and then all of the sudden you go round a corner, see my back just 6 feet away, with nothing more between us, than just YOUR knife...

I tried Defiance, and no doubt it was taken, so I just added on my house number and registered it.

i tried it in BF2 but somebody took it, so i fell to my backup: Majik_Kracker

Spark: liquid fluoride thorium reactor; +874|6667|Canberra, AUS

Well first I tried just plain 'ol Spark. I swear it bugged me or summat because there IS no player named Spark! But it still rejected it.

So I tried my old CoD name, {spark}. Again, bugged out.

So I was stuck with {spark}.0001 - not really my cup 'o tea but it'll do.

Edit: I looked on BF2S and found that the guy who took 'Spark' has ZERO points. Fucking thanks for that.

{spark} is not taken at ALL.

Sarrk: O-O-O A-O A; +788|6648|Brisbane, Australia

When I first got the game, I typed in Sarrk, it did some wierd shit that I can remember and eventually it said it was taken, So i decided to add x's to the sides, because that worked over well on another account I had on an MMO, (XIceOnFireX anyone?)

BIIGGGGG MISTAKE! The x's on bf2 look shit! it was only after I had gotten to lance corp I found out I had registered Sarrk anyway, So now I have two accounts!

Rosse_modest: Member; +76|6768|Antwerp, Flanders

Got mine registered in 1 try. I used to have another screen name but that one's so popular I switched to another one. Rosse modest is actually an insult people often threw at me.

MrE`158: Member; +103|6615

I use MrE for most things, but it's often taken, so I have a standard number to add to it, making it MrE158.

So, two tries for me.

'Course, when I was signing up for these forums, I managed to hit the ` key along with the 1, hence the MrE`158. D'oh.

Im still stuck to it, coz I didn't know what to do with it when I started playing bf2.

Cursed You: Member; +64|6580|Idaho

For the forum community, one try. I figured "Cursed You" was taken but then again.... I had my doubts.

As for my ingame "I_Yakuza_I", I knew that wasnt taken. But my first try was just "Yakuza" and that was a bloody long shot that apparently didnt work. So 2 tries for in game.
