I have no idea what all his screen names were, I can think of JOKERJEFF1, DWARFKING, and JOaknshld off the top of my head but I'm sure there were others.

I think he might have went to Jeff Oakenshield when AOL went to 16-characters?

Was HALFDWARF one of Jeff's? I seem to remember that one.

What the hell, ya got me curious.

I started as Sylus so I'd like to see those. Sylus Kurgen, 12/16/04 is the standings I first appeared on.

I'll play, just out of curiousity.

Corlanthis on AOL, and Corlanthis/Corlanthis Wystansayr here on DM/RoH.

Oooo, I wanna know how mine are too. Shouldn't be too hard to figure out, I don't think I've done that much dueling.

I've only used Tormay Eludes as my SN, and I think I stareted in Spring 2008. Might have been Winter or even Fall 2007, but I don't think i started that early with Tormay.

I lost all of my early career records to data corruption.

Since this subject has been brought up, I wish to put forward a metric: Fewest Losses, Lifetime. If we limit the metric to Warlords, I will wager Xenograg holds the top spot.

Haha! Based on what number of duels, though?

I think there's a Warlord out there::coughcoughMarcuscough:: Who has about 3-5 losses to his career. ;D

Fewest Losses can be misleading.

As can be "Most Wins". As it happens, G holds the record for most wins in the history of TDL. Of course...he ALSO holds the record for most losses. G dueled a lot.

Win percentage might be more useful. Maria has a whopping 73.58% win percentage over the course of her 53 duel TDL career.

Some advantages and risks to being captain of a team for almost the entire run of TDL. But yeah, I dueled a TON. The fact that I have a winning record surprises me a bit.

I used Google-Fu to find my old screen names. It's pretty simple to do. Search this without quotes: "<screenname> site:badside.org". You can put the screen name in quotation marks to force it to exact phrase. But it doesn't return *every* webpage the screen name appears on, so there's that risk of inaccuracy. At the very least, you'll likely have to backtrack through the standings until you find the page where the screen name disappears.

Also, using Google returns the pages that the standings reader loads. So in order to use the standings browser, you'll have to change the url a bit. For example, you would change "standings/20030725" into "standings.php?20030725"

Anyways, I'd like to know mine as well, and for the heck if it, if you're up to it, let's include Neo's first incarnation, a Super Saiyan kid named Trent Dazai. His SNs were Trent0221, TrentDazai, and Edges of Life 01. I've actually been around since December of '01. But it was very on and off, more off than on. So it might be kind of a pain. That's why I've been googling, to make it a little less of a pain.

TrentDazai's earliest appearance is here: http://badside.org/dos/standings.php?20011220
Edges of Life 01's earliest appearance is here: http://badside.org/dos/standings.php?20030725
According to Google-Fu, it seems I haven't dueled with Trent0221... which doesn't sound right.

Eventually, Trent Dazai became Neo Eternity, as he gradually grew as a character and I gradually matured and learned what it meant to RP. AOL/AIM SNs as Neo Eternity are Eternal EoN 01 and EoL Neo Eternity.

Eternal EoN 01's earliest appearance is here: http://badside.org/dos/standings.php?20050714
It seems I had Eternal EoN 01's record transferred to EoL Neo Eternity, even though I was pretty deep in the hole. Probably because I didn't want to cheat. Anyways, that screen name change happens here: http://badside.org/dos/standings.php?20050825

I don't mind if you never get to this, so you can save mine for if you're really bored with absolutely nothing to do, or never doing it at all works too.

E core 008, elijaheagleecore, elijah basia uhr, elijahsolaris(s), and basically any other variation Ecore or Elijah, except the EcoreA, EcoreB, names that were part of a practical joke one dueling weekend back in 1997 or 98 I think.

First duel was early June 1993. Good luck.

Best as I can remember I used the following screen names since my start in 1996-1997:

JOKERJEFF1
DWARFKING
HALF DWARF
JOaknshld
JOakenshield
Jeff Oakenshield

Fairly certain I ended up around +485, but no earthly idea how many duels it took to get there

I'm hoping to find the time to come back again, and possibly bring an old friend with me...it's absolutely amazing to see so many old faces recently posting on these boards some 10 years later!

They have tried to get rid of me Jeff.. but apparently I just haven't gotten the message.

Glad ta see ya, even if it is a post.

Hope ta see ya more! ;)

Pretty cool Tass.

How about Rand alTan? Did I have other SNs for Rand? I can't remember. Maybe Rand alThor. RandReborn was someone else.

Honestly Tass, I was appalled that the eternal commoner had made Overlord ;P
