Official 'Reason Behind Your Name' Thread.

[Belaslav]

I remember answering this on here a long time ago another thread, but since this one is fresher...

I've been using this name for years. I took it from a character in Isaac Asimov's Foundation series of novels. Han Pritcher.

I was reading the books back when Battlefield 1942 first came out and I had just read a chapter with him in it so when I went online to play I went with the name Pritcher, mostly just because I had the book on my mind. I just stuck with it for the years to come for some reason and now I'm pretty much always Pritcher, or some variant of it, when I'm online for forums, IM and IRC etc...

All of my names in Fiesta from closed beta to now have come from either the Foundation series of novels or Frank Herbert's Dune series of novels. Pritcher, Venebili, Ebling, Giskard, and Raych are all characters from the Foundation universe. Leto and Stilgard comes from Dune. Actually the name in Dune is Stilgar, but I added the d on the end since that character is a full end tank, sort of a guard.

Read the first post of that thread to see my reason.

Glad you still remember that, Pritcher.
