inb4 closure due to not being Psychedelics Discussion whatsoever.
a quick google search led to finding that our wee Xorky has an erowid account, but also to "Xoroth".
apparently "Xoroth is one of the fiery, chaotic worlds belonging to the Burning Legion, or more specifically, the Nathrezim, or Dreadlords." in World of Warcraft.

Ha! Not exactly PD thread material. Maybe you could PM him and ask - whether he wishes to reveal the reasons for the name I couldn't say. Tis a fine name though. That said, closing time here, although Sir Xorkalot is of course welcome to re-open it and add to it if he wishes

Heh... I feel honored at receiving my own thread for this.
The truth is, it doesn't mean anything. When I was in 6th grade (and then for about 6 years afterwards) I played an online text-based multiplayer role-playing game called Dragonrealms (like 8 hours a day
). When I signed up for it, and was choosing my character's name, I just randomly came with with Xorkoth... I couldn't tell you why. He was a moon mage and ended up being a big part of my life... lots of my friend were on there and I really identified him as part of myself. Then one day in college I was playing (no longer obsessively however) and had a "script" going that ran through a bunch of skills to practice to gain rains so I could gain levels (this was a big problem with the game IMO because certain skills took boring repetitive action to gain ranks in and at high levels it would take literally hours and hours to gain a rank). away-from-the-keyboard scripting was not allowed. I was actually at the keyboard working on a web site devoted to the players that was a database of all magical devices ever found in the game. I looked away for exactly 5 minutes at a time because 5 minutes was the length of time they allowed you to be "unaware". They must have started checking right when I looked away again and basically they considered me to be AFK scripting and banned me for life. Bastards! That shit was $30/month at that point!
Anyway, ever since then I have used Xorkoth as my online name. I just like the name. And that's the story of what Xorkoth means.
And don't let me response encourage anyone to post new threads for such non-PD-related reasons in the future.
