Could have sworn this was done before...

At any rate, D. azureus. Blue poison dart frogs. Blue/Azure has always been among my favorite colors, when I made the account I had a thing for pretentious Latin-sounding words (still do, actually...), and Daz/Dazu worked out to be a neat little nickname.

The whole name sounds better if you imitate an Italian.

I'm a fantasy/medieval freak, so I brainstormed many different names around that genre until I came up with this one.
I've used it for almost a year now, if I'm correct.

Was using translators to come up with a cool (IMO) name.

I took the name/word "Operative" (how I tend to play) and translated it here: Greek/English
and came up with Drastikos.
The name also occurs to me as a name a dragon would use and I like dragons.
So Drastikos it was!

Played Adventure Quest as a kid (on there they had something known as ebil, instead of evil), fooled around with friends on Runescape and made the ebil clan. Then eventually it evolved into this.

My name was based after a professional CS player back in 03 - 04 who represented Australia in the WCG back in those times, he was known as jackaL.oxey (not 100% accurate though on this info) - I just made a simple letter change I guess and became Oxea!

My family's first computer was a Microsoft WebTV. We could only use it when Mom wasn't on the phone. I had to register a name for the chat channels and I chose my favorite game, Starfox 64. My username was Reddfox. I later changed it to R3ddfox when I bought Minecraft.

I once was known as Stoopid_Munky because of the Robot Chicken show. At the end a guy says "stupid monkey" and it makes a monkey sound.

After a few months I got tired of the same old name, and was using StumbleUpon as inspiration. This website came up about Spy Pig, a program that companies use to spy on employee emails. Thus, 5pyPig was born.
