View Full Version : Help me start a trend

I am about to get another account for rakeback/8tabling.

If you are anything like me you suddenly get stuck when faced with the moniker choice. I never think ahead and no one wants a sucky moniker.

I was thinking that maybe I could be so awesome as to start a 2+2 trend. I expect that the future will bring many more new accounts and new 2+2 members.

What variety of names could we get a constant pool of names that would be recognizable as a group, and obscure enough that few outside the group would pick such a name.

for example... I was thinking drug names... like Hydrocodone. The chemical name, not the name brand.( Viagra and advil are not correct but codien and ethoxyphenyl are.)

That is only one idea.

Perhaps diseases ( dibs on teh clap)
Any name we want but with a common pre/suffix (2_2xxxxx, or xxxxx_holla)
or maybe... this is just a really stupid idea, and I am too stoned to see that.

btw... the xxxxx_holla thing isnt going to happen, because I wont do it, but it was the only thing I could come up with atm to give an example.

Curious to hear your thoughts.

Forever yours

I opened a new account for rakeback about a week ago and used a disease, well, more of a condition, really. I used Fourniers. I left off the gangrene part. Google with images if you're brave, but don't say I didn't warn you...

Hmmm... I really like the drug names. Maybe I'll be Polyurethane next. Though I still have some Transformers characters left.

Seat12 is the only correct choice for your new moniker.

Sorry...

i have an idea--- how 'bout we have a team name and make everyone suspicious of possible collusion, scare the fish away, and then just take money from each other.

sign me up.

Man, I have spent the last month in and out of the hospital with kidney stones.... Hydrocodone has been my friend... as has oxycodone and especially hyrdromorphone (I think that's what it's called....generic Delodid)...

Great idea...

Go with Valtrex next, its a drug name that sounds like a Trnasformer name. Plus the stuff works great on clearing up... So I have been told

We have a list (http://www.rxlist.com/)

I like Erythromycin, Cephalexin, and Propoxyphene for a start. That should last me a good 3 months, since I switch names often. I'm paranoid about the pokertracker software. It's going to be a bitch calling party up in Asia or whatever and having to spell out erythromycin... about 5 times.

Ugh. This is like you're trying to start an FPS clan. Why not just name yourself s00t3d4c3s_{SITH}?

haha, this may be funny, but jesus it is a really valid point.

Perhaps characters from a particular movie or genre. The drug names is good and leaves room for a lot of creativity, but most good names are too long anyways.

Id suggest homestar runner character names but A) there arent enough, and B) There are already a few out there... but LoL at the idea of strongmad, strongsad, strongbad and the_cheat all at the same table. Its moments like this I am looking forward too.

I think if we can come up with something then it will be good for table selection.

Homsar would pwn at poker.

He is, after all, a song from the sixties.

How often does Party let you change your name?

They change it whenever I damn want to. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Technically, it's every 6 months, but if you call them up and get a real person on the line and complain they'll let you do it every month or two. I do this since I'm a bit paranoid about trackers. I also think PT, PV, are borderline cheating and I wish sites would ban them.
