Mine started out as wolfangel in the very early days of Diablo on battle.net

Then I left the scene for a while and when I came back everyone was using the name.

Now as I like the David Eddings books, I started using Belgarath, then I left for a while again wtih the same result. Now I use oldwolf, Im getting older and I love wolves too, so it made sense.

Been using it for about 4-5 years now. Also use wolfdark a bit in other places too.

My nickname comes from the type of person i am.. Which can be really nice or i can turn in moments noticed.

I just toss the 6 on the end because i normally use Sn4k3 but i couldn't remember my password or the email that i registerd it with..

draug, old norse "draugr", a ghost, the dead living in the mounds. In christian times used for a deceased who did not rest in peace, and came back and haunted the living. Along the northern norwegian coastline the ghosts of people who lost their lives at sea. (caplex.no)

basically, "ghost" in old norse. The "coming back from the dead" part has some similarities to the vampire myths as well.

picked this about 4-5 years ago.

(yeah, i'm norwegian)

d00d! have you no national pride!! Theodor Kittelsen mann! You know, norse folk myths in pictures. illustrated some stories two crazy norwegian Grimm-Brothers-ripoffs went around norway and collected (hint: thnk last names With A and M at the beginning). quite the famous guy (and famous pictures) (and important for the norwegian national identity that emerged in the mid-1800s). but i digress..

hehe.. dassdraugen was (i think) in a childrens book once. scary stuff :)

"Noggin" is supposed to mean Head or Brain.

My brother always used to call me Noggin.

He used to say it was because I was smart for my age (and I still am :whistle: )

First it came out ten years ago in 1996 when I started using interent. First thing I tried in Internet Cafe was to use MIRC(as I knew nothing abt computer). EveryOne on MIRC used to give out false information regarding themselves. So u need to PLAY a little SAFE when Online. So I always use it when available. It is not my Nick anyway. My Nick is Kami(From Kamran, a Perisan name means successful).

It's from Dilbert, Mordac is the Preventer of Information Services. It was given to me when I was working as a security admin and tightening up our group policy. (I was such a popular guy) Since the name's usually taken I added a numeric suffix.
