I'm not welsh.

The very first game I ever played was a pinball machine. Where I had to enter my initials. Since I was the youngest kid I only knew my first and last name, and being too lazy to ask my parents my middle name I invented a third letter ( for the program required three ). That letter became the 'C' - stood for creepy as I was playing some horror pinball with ghosts and ghouls and, well, creepy stuff. I used it for a while - 'Cwm' I mean until I happened upon the blight that is Runescape.

See back in my time I didn't have a fancy internet connection so all m online gaming was done in school during lunchbreak with the palls. They visited sites with flasgames on and eventually introduced me to runescape, wich I spent many a lunchbreak on ( until I was old enough to eat out of school, then I just went to the pub ).

Surely every nickname and its mother in that game was already taken, and violently hating people with numbers in their name ( sorry jased ), I chose to become the second cwm, or Cwmagain.

It's a name that is rarely used ( It used to be never but I have come across some people who used it - Most, if not all sites I visit don't have it unless I do).

Later on some people would ask if I was welsh since the name was - or at least the cwm part was - welsh (valley if I recall correct ). Rest assured I have no connection with the welsh whatsoever. My accent is a mix between brugian and irish.

Also you pronounce it "Come again"

hope this will stop the influx of pesky questions

I agree with Flynnstone.
First theres your name.
Second you're mix of brugian and Irish does have a welsh feel to it (I'm not messing man it does)
And finally, in the cool music videos section, you post a video of Goldie Lookin Chain. Nuff said!!!

Of course I believe you're not REALLY Welsh. But on festers you are

My Dad had been playing games since before I was alive, and he had been using Fogold as his name. He got it from a friend who had a strange tendency to say "Pure fog, old boy", especially when he was drunk. I think it meant "That's a lie" or something. Well, Dad always used it as a message that this guy was pretty smashed (if you couldn't tell already).

Since then, Dad decided to "pass down" the name to me, when I started taking an interest in gaming too, and it's what I've been using since then. My dad pops on the server occasionally, but I'm not telling you his name to avoid possible social suicide

.

ps. It would also be nice if you could take the (kk) out of my name, I left that group about a year ago.
