Two I played in particular in the era were called "Usurper" and "Legend of the Red Dragon". I would go by "The Marquis" in these games.

Fast forward to the internet. "marquis" as a name is taken/in high competition everywhere. I use its official abbreviation, "mqs". Too short. I lengthen it with the French word for "all" to mqstout ("Marquis de Tout", the lord of all. Hey, I was 13 and I rather enjoyed studying French!).

So, yeah. Call me "mqs" and not "stout"

Nice. I always read it as mqst and out. Like "i'm outta here."


Thanks for the correction.
