Tell us, How you came up with your alias? and the story behind it.
...Prepare for a very long and odd story.
Back in 6th grade, me and my friends used to make these RPG games. Once we had some free time, we would grab a lot of paper, pencils, maybe some dice (Not D&D), some other stuff and quickly make all the stuff that we needed for the game.
Character sheets, area maps, story and a bunch of other stuff.
Now when we played, I always found myself using 'skills' related to speed. At that time, I enjoyed racing games a lot and I also beat pretty much every one of them.
Now, one day I got this yu-gi-oh game (Yes...I liked it once...) and played it. After a bit of playing, I found a custom battle mode (The way it was played isn't the old throw-a-card-on-the-playing-area-and-hope-for -the-best kind of a thing)
When I selected it, I found out that the name of the enemy I was facing was named...:
Deck Master K
It starting to get clear, right? Keep reading...
The next day, I found out that my friend, who made up the RPG games, had made other better one and we all decided it would be best to trash the original one and start over.
We then had to make up our names...
I thought...I kind of liked the 'K' in 'Deck Master K'...and I was a master at racing games and I liked speed a lot...Merge the three together and what do we get?
'Speed Master K'
That was my name for the RPG game my friend made...It stuck for a while, as I used that name in various places.
Now, lets skip ahead to something...
...I like foxes...really! A lot...
I'm also a Sonic fan...my favorite character is Tails...
That was it...One night, I was in my room, thinking about things...I didn't like racing games much anymore...
Now...we all know some people make up these characters and say 'This is me' or something like that...
An idea hit me right away.
I didn't like racing games much anymore, I like foxes and I'm a Tails fan...
So this happened:
1. I took out 'Speed Master' and was left with 'K'
2. I added 'Fox' at the end, forming 'KFox' and added a dash to form 'K-Fox'
3. Since I'm a big Tails fan, I choose to make myself into a Tails lookalike.
So, I went on my computer, took a Tails sprite, and recolored it a color...blue...Which is what my profile picture is...darken a bit because it is saved as a JPG file (Not in MS Paint, in something called The GIMP 2)
...And that is the story of my name, I've never changed it since. I really like it. I didn't expect it to be taken when I joined NG. Nice because I saved time I would have wasted if I had put in some other name, only to found out it was taken. I couldn't have thought of anything good if that happened...
I've also used that name in RPG games I've made myself.

Just so I could have a place to talk with others. The problem is, I don't post here much unless I'm about to log out.
Still fun though.
Oh yeah, was anyone getting errors when they voted on something? There is a thread about it.
It isn't happening to me anymore...it might of have been fixed already.
