As the title, probably confusingly, suggests, this isn't really a game. It's actually just an activity that would satasfy my neverending curiosity c:
So the objective of this 'game' is to describe how you got your alias i.e your username/chatbox name because I'm a nerd and would like to know these things.
I should probably finish off with my completely boring explanation, too. Here it goes;
Once upon about four years ago, a kid managed to figure out that the computer was not just a thing that could be used to play on Neopets and catch up on that days 'Peanuts' comic strip (no lie, guys. I actually did that.) When searching up 'Warrior Cats', which I'd found out about and got into with the help of one of my less-nerdy friends, and absently scanning through the 20,000 or so pages that came up on Google, I saw a website seemingly used for 'roleplaying'. I had no idea what that was, and spent the next hour pestering members with my utter n00bishness and lack of grammar until I actually found out.
I managed to find that you, more or less, pretended to be a cat. Of course, I think of it more now as writing a story but, anyways... I needed to make a character and brainstormed for all of 30 seconds to come up with perhaps the most unoriginal name ever; Silverpelt. Yeah, like the stars.
Four years later, I'd like to think I improved a little bit, but the name actually stuck and I still roleplay a character with that same title right now. The nickname 'Silver' gradually evolved into many other things until I came to 'Silvaah', which I now use for most of my proboards accounts.
So, if anyone read all of that pointlessly lengthy story, thanks. And I'd love to hear yours.
