My actual name is Maximilian Ransom, so it became MrRansom.
Haha, not an interesting story.
That name is legit.
@MrRansom you're name is totally legit.
1. Needed a name for my Xbox Live account and the name I used offline was taken.
2. It sounded really cool to a... 16? maybe 17 year old. I was around that age.
3. I watched the movie Donnie Darko, and in it Drew Barrymore talks about the beauty of the words Cellar Door being written down. Again, a teenager, I thought to myself that I could write a more beautiful group of words. And I found 'Suicidal Deity', while being phonetically pleasing, was also beautiful looking when written in cursive.
4. It was a poem I wrote about a Suicidal God, as in a god that wanted to end it's own life, not a god over those who take their own life. I struggled with suicide off and on throughout my teenage years. I struggle quite frequently still with an above average intelligence that is outwardly known, yet I never achieved as much as I should have. It was a fitting idea in my poem, about a god that was expected to perform to an unequaled level, yet wished for nothing in their world aside from silence and peace, achievable only in their mind in one instance of escapism. I am not so egotistical as to rival myself with the gods, but I found a genuine similarity in the comparison of my desires and the character I created within the poem.
So all these factors came together for me to create the name Suicidal Deity. Whenever possible, and space allows, I will utilize the name as the moniker to my persona. It's grown on me far more than I thought it would have, and I genuinely adore the words when combined, speaking them aloud to myself and writing them upon page when I find my thoughts wandering from my current state to that of a less inclined incentive.
Yes, it's that simple.
I love it so much that it became my username which I use everywhere. :P

Okay, I'm done.
TrippleBoggey3 - When I first got my xbox and played Halo (I was 4 at that time), my dad wanted me to get a username. My dad's own name was DarthEagle69, so he wanted me to think of something related to golf, because we play golf and he named himself Eagle because he always bragged he got Eagles in golf. So I named myself TrippleBoggey3, since my brother was DoubleBoggey2.
Ling Ling - In a self made play in 7th grade, we were coming up with names... So I just happened to come up with Ling Ling as my name in the play. I actually got the idea after I named my favorite yellow golf ball Ling Ling. Oh yeah, and in the play, I sorta got in trouble...,but that's a story for later if you wanna here it. I don't use this one in cardsmith, but I still use it in other things.
The story is kinda funny tho.
I first found this site a LLLOOOOONG time ago. Like several years ago, when there were no accounts or anything (and I think there was pretty much only one page where you could make cards). I found it when I started playing MtG. I used to really like creating (awful) cards back in those days, but I had to draw the artwork, the border and all the stuff inside the card with my pencils...Ick. My brother found it, and said I should use it to make my cards look more professional.
I did that for a while, but finally lost interest in MtG altogether. When I came back to MtG, about a year ago now, my brother found the sit again, and made me an account (I was really young then, and couldn't computer), he asked me what username I wanted. My original one was just 'Martin', but then I said it was too bland.
My brother and father had been talking about the Korean War at dinner that day, and then the topic turned to Kim Jong Un. My brother told me about all the crazy stuff he did, and so I said 'How about Kim Jong Un?' My brother changed it to @KimJongMartin, and that account was made...
When I came back onto this site a couple o' months ago, I had forgot my old @KimJongMartin 's account password, so I couldn't log back in, which, now I think about it, is probably a good thing. I think it got purged anyways, so I wouldn't of mattered. I just created a new account, with the same name..
I wish I could change my account name. I would change it to ANYTHING - now I think about it, I would probably change it to @Aurelia_The_Mind_Sculptor, @Necrosmith, @Force_Of_Gryff, or anything else that came to mind.
@Corwinnn! @MTGCardsmith! Get that name changing thing ready!
And you played Halo at 5??? Isn't that a bit...Inappropriate? And your dad plays Halo? I would be surprised if my dad even knew what an xBox was...
Oh, and I technically played halo when I was 4, but I played single player at 5. My dad just didn't have anyone to play halo with him so he forced me to play halo. Halo 1 just came out then.
Also, my friend smoked me in those first games as he pulled an Archangel of Thune, and a Fiendslayer Paladin.
The second half of my name kinda came out of nowhere. I had Noki, who I often characterised as one with no personality--a completely neutral blank slate. I had Miko, which was often characterised as a young, optimistic pacifist with hopes of becoming a doctor. We had pacifism, we had neutrality, but we needed hostility. That's how Skaur came about. He is often characterised as a former criminal that only stays with his host to terrorise them (a concept that I'd rather not explain). My first DnD character was CN aligned, and I described him as a cross between Noki and Skaur. I named him NokiSkaur to get my point across, and the name has just stuck with me.
Flash-forward to about June. I was getting really serious about Magic and planned to go to the HOU prerelease. I decided to join MTGCS. I knew that Tezzyboi was part of the Seekers of Carmot, so I figgered TezzeretofCarmot was nice. And 21 is my lucky number.
(All the Star Wars stuff on my account is my friend's. I allowed him access to my account. His username is @Jake_the_Jake and he hasn't been on in donkey's years. Also, I am going to be alternatively using a new account, so.. yeah.)
