The Commandments for Making Gamertags, Screennames, ect.

[lilnorris64]

dont reference a game in your name or your instantly a fanboy

not to mention when three months later your playing some other game and you realize the game you reference either 1. wasnt very good 2. a fad 3. a good game but not your favorite of all time or whatever

 

[BurningMan]

I came close once, my first ever internet SN was "Fuzzy Hitman".

Sweet, glorious epic win.

I stick with real words. My usual SN is BurningMan *duh*. Or Ignition.

Numbuh 2 is Out!

 

[Chiefmon]

I think we need to add that if its necessary to add a number, please please don't make it either 69 or 117. Its just so bland, unoriginal and unfunny it hurts...

You haz been added

 

[Chiefmon]

Luckily, my Gamertag (JustifiedForce) passes all regulations. Suck on that, internet.

Congratulations. I wish that I could give out badges saying "My gamertag won't send me to hell!"

Rule 2: For the love of god, DON'T PUT X's!
It is so annoying having 3/4 of the team named xXUberNukeXx or XGayNinjaX. It does nothing to make you seem cool, all it does is show-off your susceptibility to conformity. Only put X's if they are actually how you spell it, like XrayMaX.

Rule 5: Don't make a reference to a passing fad.
You will be stuck with your gamertag for awhile, so don't make it JonasBros4ever, only to find out that they are all babyeaters. Also, if you make your gamertag Naruto364927 or some other reference to a TV show, make sure that you won't grow sick of it anytime soon.

Rule 19: I think we need to add that if its necessary to add a number, please please don't make it either 69 or 117. Its just so bland, unoriginal and unfunny it hurts... -Beefcakes

In fairness to me, I've had this name for over 10 years. I did this crap back before it was stupid. B-)

 

[Parallel Streaks]

For some reason people use things like sniperdude1127342 when SniperDude isn't actually a taken username. People presume their gamertags are so awesome at least five thousand guys have tried to take it before him.

For Instance: I have two friends named Ollie, when my first friend Ollie got Live he immediately presumed his desired name was taken, so he instead put super ollie2323. Then my second friend got Live, and just to piss off the first Ollie set his name as Super Ollie. Now all of my friends presume the first Ollie was copying the second.

My friends are petty, petty people.

 

[Overlord Moo]

Well... lets see... mine is Overlord Moo because, well, I want to supreme Overlord of the world, and I like cows. Moo

 

[Vanquisher2000]

Numbers at the end of the name (in my opinion) are ok as long as they are not totally random but if they have more than 5 numbers at the end then they are either an idiot, or they are exploiting a number's ability to sound like more for less characters to try to keep everyone reading their name for longer in which case they are probably trying to waste your time. I haven't yet seen an all number gamertag though.
ps: no offense meant if you have 5 numbers for an actual reason ok, but most people just go ott with the number thing

Problem is people put the numbers and things in becuase most of the gamer tags are taken. Took me like 30-40 tries and combinations to get one which I have and like.

Why is X considered the coolest letter anyway?

It's got nothing on D.

Dude, Respect the M.

 

[Chiefmon]

Have it not be Leroy Jenkins.

My SteamID is Frozen_Napalm

Also, keep it simple and short. Nothing over 15 characters

I added you in the second commandments

 

[purplegothchick]

I did a Gamerscore boost for someone (I was selling them on ebay for a while) and, not only did he have his birth year in his name, his password was a child-like term for excrement. Honest to god, kids shouldn't be allowed online.

Love these rules though! Most of the people I did boosts for violated these rules cos they were mostly 10 year olds using mummy's ebay account.

(Sorry if these have already been mentioned, but there's 7 bloody pages of this.)

Do NOT use inside jokes. No one laughs at them, only you.
Do NOT use things like Bleachfan, or Renjilover, because you will be smitten by God himself.

The rules are great, by the way, and make a lot of sense. (Now that I've said that, I sure hope I haven't broken many.)

Why is X considered the coolest letter anyway?

It's got nothing on D.

Agreed.
