Back in 1990 a glorious, nay a godly adventure game series was born called the Secret of Monkey Island. It was my first adventure game I've ever played and I instantly fell in love with it. The Monkey Island games set the benchmark for adventure games for many years to come.At that time I was so crazed with three-headed monkey jokes so I guess my username is derived partly because of my craze of the Monkey Island series. |

Since then i have been he!!

Yeah... Actually, I wasn't able to get on the Internet for the entire month of January and for the better part of February. I lost my password. (I didn't try the "forget your password" link because I don't think it existed back then. Besides, I was a regular on another forum and didn't have much time for this one.) |

Well way back when I started online play, I only played flight sims. I decided to pick somthing apropriate and "vector" is a word that is heard often in the air, weather giving a direction or steering clear of an obstacle (its also used in ships but I wouldn't know about that...).
When I began playing other types of games with different crowds I just carried the name over, and now everybody I know online and have played with knows me as me, Vector (almost 3 years now).
I'm new to this Civ thing and I realize this game has been out for 5 years now, so It'll take me a while to get the hang of multiplayer and to get to know all of you. Oh yeah, I also have the habit of making extremely long posts
I'm 16 in my third year of high school. My dad actually plays this game (he plays a game!) so I would expect a few old timers (no offence intended) I wonder what the average age here is anyways?... Oh yeah, the ZTA in front is a group that I'm part of, we make units and maps for the RTS Total Annihilation, any of you heard of it?------------------

Well, my plan is to become King of England. I intend to achieve that goal the same way Richard III did. Unfortunately, I have a few more victims to knock off before attaining that pinnacle. Having fruitlessly waited for (several) nuclear detonations followed by a mass outbreak of BSE to clear the way, I have decided to take direct action. I intend to stand that old Monty Python skit on its head and develop a joke so horrible that the listener dies:RIII: My grandfather died 100 years ago today in a horrible parachute accident.
Victim: Parachutes weren’t invented 100 years ago.
RIII: I know, that’s why he was killed!
Victim: Aaargh! Dies. Haven’t found that magic joke yet…. Af Ulm—
IIRC that should be cetera censeo Stockholm esse delendum. No such word ‘praetera,’ although there is a ‘praeterea.’

[sarcasm]Du Chateau, I wonder how I got this name. Probably because it is my last name[/sarcasm]Seriously though it is French for "of the castle." I think that du chateau sounds much better then of the castle. The underscore between the two names to remind me of the times when people would put my last name like this, Duchateau. |

When I was just a little 15 (maybe 14) year old in 1994/5 I used to play a text adventure on a BBS called Legend Of the Red Dragon (LORD) on my trusty 1400 BPS modem. Anyway, everyone had names like Breedle The Destroyer and stuff like that, and I decided on Overlord Graag. Over time, and because the name was a little over the top for message baoards and the like, it was shortented simply to Graag.Interesting sidenote, Graag is swedish for 'yes please', a fact I was not aware of when I made the name up. This causes swedish people to say swedish things at me in chat rooms, but I'm used to it now.
It also means 'kiss me' in an african dialect, another thing I didn't know when i made it up. Other names I have gone by: Hugo Rune - amasingly brilliant character from 3 books by Robert Rankin JesusMachine - invented as a band name, and sounded cool at the time Dr Admio Lamwankis - anagram of my name (not the doctor bit) Graag ------------------
