The story behind your username?

Mine is pretty simple, I wanted to be Pyro, but that was taken, so I chose PyroShadow. Why Pyro/PyroShadow?

For one, I like fire. The other reason is, back in the day, when I first made an xbox live account, I named it PyroShadow3. Now, I try to use Pyro, or any forms of my gamertag as usernames. Keeps things simple.

How about everyone else?

Is it pronounced 'fort' or 'fortay'? Because E's can be silent :/

'Fortay' sounds badass


Mine used to be 'Geomiester' but then I found out 'Miester' pretty much means 'male' so out that came.
Geo is the first three letters of my name, simple to remember I guess ;p

One day, I was trying to come up with a nickname for Link in TWW. Verxis came up.

I was about to point out that "Meister" meant "Master" in German, but I saw the "i" and "e" were reversed.

Silly me

It's Fortay. But keep in mind the emphasis goes on the For, not the Tay.

It's not Fortay. It's Fortay.

Ah, I see.

Thats pretty swish then ;p

@Pyroshadow: I believe it is used in the sense of 'Master' as in 'Mister' (Used by rich folk or people like that :/ )

EG: 'Master Williams'
