Explanation of Handle: I am a big Seinfeld fan, and my handle is taken from the episode where Kramer gets the wrong vanity license plates from the DMV. The plates say ASSMAN. Everyone in the show starts to call him Assman, I thought it was a pretty funny I took it. A friend of mine thought it came from The Late Show with David Letterman. There was a guy that they made fun of called Dick Assman.

Explanation of Handle: Four of five of guys from work would get together and play a little DM. Started off with just four of us playing Doom on the LAN. Then Quake came out and we would play a 4 to 5 man DM over the LAN. We then found internet servers. One night we decided to get on the server and for fun we all made names starting with Rot (meaning red in german). We had RotGeist (Red Ghost), RotWeiler (Red Howler), RotApfel (Red Apple I know kinda stupid), RotNacken (Red Neck) and moi RotKreiger (Red Warrior). Needless to say with our connection we owned about any server we went to. I then discovered TF and played under RotKreiger still. When I met Horse and we formed IRON RotKreiger was way to much to type so I cut it down to Rot. :)
