Actually, no it wasn't you. Very, very similar name.Yes, I'm sure I remember seeing you out at Witch Head.
Griefer!
There is a Cmdr Rivertide I believe. I am occasionally confused with them.
That's the one!
Now I wonder if it is not the same person with 2 nicknames on the forum.I'm a bit confuesed on who should I blame for this...
Speedcuffs is TJ and TJ is Speedcuffs ?
My ship has bobbleheads, but my cmdr name is not Bob McBobblehead.

I bought the game on a whim to distract myself from a bad back; and speaking of backs I was taken aback to find that I'd need a player name. For some reason the name of the Arabic philosopher and astronomer Averroes popped into my mind. Unfortunately it had already popped into someone else's.
Since I arrived at the name after someone else, in my ignorance I opted to stick 'meta' (Gr. 'after') in front of 'Averroes', not realising that in gaming terms I would then be claiming to be an Averroes in possession of the Most Effective Tactic Available. (On the rare occasions I've been in Open - not since they stopped board-flipping - I've seen players I've hailed reply politely then edge away from the clearly boastful ganker.)
I wasn't happy, to put it mildly, with the name, and always intended to put in a ticket to have it changed; so when I joined the forum I used an old bulletin board tag, dagwit, rather than be known by a player name I would soon no longer use.
But I found that while I had no attachment to the name, I was soon inseparably welded to being "Mike, Echo, Tango". Coming up with another name that started with these three letters proved tricky; I did eventually arrive at 'Meteoric Irony' but never quite got round to asking for the change.
Which is why I still have one of the clumsiest CMDR names in Elite Dangerous, but thankfully one with which I only occasionally burden the forum.

Same for me.
Kilvenny is my regular gaming moniker. Someone nicked it for one game so I became Lance Kilvenny. It's actually based on a character from a cowboy novel called Kilkenny, I couldn't kill Kenny (think football in the UK in the late seventies) so I changed the k to a v and this cowboy was good to go. Now my forum avatar makes sense.
