    Colthrun is just (IMHO) the coolest name ever. :p

    And the title makes sense if you've ever hiked in different terrains. Hiking in the woods, people who are at the back of a line are normally hit by those branches the person in front was moving aside. Hiking in a swampy area, those in front tend to "find" the soft spots and hidden ponds first.

    Isn't logic a beautiful thing?

    Oh, my quote is the opening line of Carl Orff's symphonic suite, "Carmina Burana." It translates to, "Oh Fortune, ever as variable as the moon."

    Mine is one of the many sayings Erul'dar Mitharr (Sinecro) has that make him famous, has to do with my fascination with Forgotten Realms Necromancy :D

    I am named after the greatest arse kicker in all of history. Everyone feared Cúchulainn and his enchanted spear (Gae Bolga).

    I just like the song: "This Wheel's on Fire." Can't think of who did it though... :hmm:

    And if that doesn't help, then I fart in your general direction.

    My name is latin for three acts. I do a lot of theater, and a while ago, I founded a theater company. In one of our meetings, it came up when we were discussing names. We didn't take it, but I thought it was interesting... :)

    Hahaha, I saw you name, and I immediatly saw Obelix in it. And he's a pretty tough warrior, when he isn't eating boars... :p

    The Nameless One in his zombie disguise looks, well, sleepy. It also reminds me of the "loser" avatar in the Fallout games. There are some really washed up addicts wandering around in Fallout 2 saying things like "Maybe if I just sleep..."

    It kind of represents the clueless, half-awake and half-somewhere-else manner in which I lumber about through life, particularly in times of imbibing choice beverages.

    Edit: typo.

    I thought up Saber when I first started playing runescape, and the name stuck with me... I use it for almost everything now.


    And my title comes from Lethal Weapon 2, when Danny Glover is on the toilet that has a bomb wired to it. It is a very funny part :lol:

    Oh, we're talking about the sub-title? Not our name?

    In that case, mine is a line from Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven", which I chose when I got my raven avatar as the line which best suits my personality.

    Well, I was actually wondering about your screenname, but title's good too, I guess. Sjould've been more clear on that one.

    I'm a master of none, imo.
    About the title... It refers to a biblical figure, Melchizedek (means King of Justice), who was king of Salem ('King of Peace') and priest of the God Most High.

    I'm thinking on changing my title, tough. (Not my name). Perhaps into something that has to do with a helmet, light, blessing or safety. But not too paladin-like.

    Sir Belisarius was the name of a paladin I played in DnD. Also my favorite general from history.

    My tag line? Well, that should be obvious to the folks who read these boards... ;) :p

    Can't remember, actually.. All I remember is that it was blatantly stolen from a guy from EQ. It was titles he had earned through pvp tournaments, and the likes.
