How many of you would post your real name in your games credits?

[evenwolf]

of course Las, that's why my title page's source code includes:

YOU ASS, YOU MARKING FUN OF ME?!

[petaglair]

maybe it's a good way to get more and more girlfriends
and nobody would kill someone who creates video games they prefer to kill their parents or innocent children if i was a mad killer i would rather do that..

Uhh... I'll misspell it a little, just in case.

[makri]

For several years I've had my full name, birthdate, photos, photos of my house, full address, driving instructions and phone number up on the web. I use this nick for forums/irc since it's rarely taken, but it's formed of my name, MAttila KRIstian and I always enter the full one in irc client's real name field. I don't really see why people are so paranoid about their identity on the internet, I bet there's million times bigger risk of getting in the way of an axe murderer just by leaving your home for work every day.

So, as an answer to the question, yes, I would put my realname in the credits if I ever managed to finish my first game. It would be just plain silly to have done all that work and not take credit of it (no, I don't really get the Tierra guys ).

I'd use mine.  It's fairly uncommon (I think 4 of us in the world) so I'd like the knowledge available that I had made the game and not some random entity.  I mean, YakSpit?  Who the hell would put that in credits?  Besides, YakSpit already exists. However, my name's the most common in the southern US (2 of 'em) and I figure most psycho stalker types are probably from there.  

[BOYD1981]

if i was putting/having my name in the credits of something i'd have it as Craig "BOYD1981" Smith, and i only give my address to people i think of as trustworthy or if i'm getting their address first, that way i can kill them before they get to me...
i'm actually more secretive as to what BOYD stands for than my real identity.
plus giving out real details is kinda crucial when buying stuff off ebay or amazon or something, or if you want a stalker...

[Matt Brown]

I use my real name. Its a super common last name (brown), and nobody it going to stalk me just based on my name. address, that I dont give out. name, okay

[Trapezoid]

My name is actually somewhat well known and nobody's sent me so much as a letter.

[edmundito]

Funny, I was just telling everyone on #AGS how my friend found out that I was netmonkey the game designer for including my name all over my games, plus the fact that my site is hosted at mixnmojo (which seems to be hot in the search engines). I guess I waited for that moment, and he thought it was pretty cool that I made games.

[Renal Shutdown]

Due to an quite incredible balls up somewhere high up in the british government, I am registered to vote as "Iqu".  That's actually how I got the name.

Besides, I also have the rather strange and expensive plan of changing my name by deed poll every month.  For both the purposes of comedy and avoidance of my credit card company.

Hugs
Iqu

[evenwolf]

wow, someone got away with a real nice thread dig.  I guess most of us forgot about this one to the point of thinking it was new. Hell, I almost posted again with my belief-  that the fact that I'm trying to lure people to me would turn off any stalker.

[petaglair]

when i finish my game i will put my real name so i will be rich and famous...
hi again people i'm working hard on my game i didn't let it down

actually it's getting bigger than ever.
i  even haven't got the time to come on the forum
Don't tell me you forgot me...
"hello girls" and so on..."i wish you could see my muscles flexing while typing" "la porte noire a fench game" it was me

[Timosity]

So when's the sequel of the mittens murder mystery coming out???

[Andriws]

Well... Only in games, where I don't say something bad about politics, presidents, USA and other... Otherwise, I use nicknames.

[Matt Brown]

haha, andriws, afarid the CIA would nail you as a terrorist and haul away your arse? I dont blame you.

I'm actually more shy about leaving my email adress than I am at leaving my full name. As far as I know, mailer-daemons won't mail spam to your home-adress. And I think the amount of axe-murdereds that travel all over the world in order to kill some random person they've never met, for no justifiable reason whatsoever, is highly overrated.

[Ben]

I actually know someone who was stalked by the brother of someone he met online. He didn't even know he was being stalked until the FBI talked to him. Apparently the guy lived on the other side of the country and the police stopped him in Wisconsin.

True story.

wow, someone got away with a real nice thread dig.

It's that Bluke kid. At least he only found good topics, and none of those "FLASH YOUR BALLS" threads that Mods keeps starting up..

[furrylilkreature]

yah I put my name
