Named after Lord Kitchener, the guy who first of wall "won" the Boer War by throwing innocent people into concentration camps, then later appeared on the British "You country needs YOU!" posters, before he went away on a sailing trip to Russia and was killed by a sea mine (or possibly assassinated by Churchill).

I gave myself the title Inquisitor because of Amarr Supremacy.

It's been my gamer handle for going on 15 years now. Originally chose it as I wanted a more European sounding name for my character in UO and found this the most pleasing.

Now I have made myself sad Sad UO came out 15 years ago... where has the time gone. Shocked

"The Empress needs YOU" eh? I can just see that on Amarr recruiting fliers for DUSTers.

Karn Dulake - Sad Flutes


Karn as it was a name that could be said in Vent


Dulake is the title of Sir Lancerlot. Sir Lancerlot Dulake



Sad Flutes as it the closest description of the sound heard when the carotid Artery is sliced in an adult male


(BTW Im no internet warrior/ internet baddass i promise. Im scared of the dark and teenagers in general. Also when i was at school i was voted most likely to be bullied as an adult and die in a fire. In fact i was bullied by my little sister and she is a weakling)
I dont normally troll, but when i do i do it on General Discussion.

Well my 1st name is easy, my real name is Robert so I like the fact I can use my real name. Last name was from my Druid in DAoC. I like the last name so use it when I am able. I prefer to use names that fit the settings of the games I play.

I'm a nerd, you can check my stats!! Skilling Int/Mem at 45 sp per minute is how I mack!     I'm like a lapdog, all bark no bite.

Character: pushed random name generators until I found a semi-acceptable name, then tweaked it; always sort of liked "Peter" and its derivatives.

Corp: Reference to Starcraft's zerglings, except they're Rifters. Scary, eh? Note: this name was created pre-frigate-buff, when the Rifter was worth flying.

Alliance: Inherited an old alliance because I'm too cheap to pay 1b to create a new one. Damu'Khonde actually translates to "bloody fist", which is a reference to its relation to Ushra'Khan (whose emblem is the bloody fist). D'K was the alliance U'K corps transferred to when it got taken over and disbanded.

My daughters set the game up for me as a birthday present.

They got the name from a book on Irish history I was reading at the time.

I actually like my name even though in real life I am male.

Over 20 years ago, for fun, I typed up a science fiction paper analyzing the theoretical operation of a precursor FTL drive from the prospective of a far future scientist. This is the name I came up with for that scientist.

I know a guy whose surname is Fleur, which I think is awesome, and because I like Gallente background and society I wanted to create a french sounding name around that. Seems to work ok, since I have been convoed in french (which I don't speak) couple of times.
