No duh, you say.
Well, you see, when I started posting at Gamefaqs a hella long time ago, I picked "rhindle", not "bargora" as my userid. Flight of fancy, I guess. Anyway, I eventually became rhindle at www.steelbattalion.org/forum , and also used rhindle as my Xbox gamertag and Steel Battalion: Line of Contact pilot name.
Now, Steel Battalion: LOC is a complex game, and one aspect of the game is the "professional name". If you consistently pilot a class of mecha ("VT") and do well with them, the game will award you a professional name. A full list can be found here (http://www.lineofcontact.net/loc_professional.html). Anyway, after a particularly good evening in the Vortex artillery support VT, I found myself promoted (professional name-wise) from "God of Thunder" to "Dragon". Now, if I paint my chassis red, I'll be Rhindle, the Red Dragon.
And wouldn't that be appropriate?
Note 1: For those of you who have no fewkin' clue who the original rhindle was, check http://www.toadstool.net/games/adventure/characters.htm
Note 2: There is apparently at least one other rhindle out there on forums (fora?) devoted to high tech stuff I know nothing about. I'm not him.
