Nick: Way, way back when Half-Life was new and shiny and everyone had 3Dfx graphics cards, I played my first deathmatch game (No, I had never played Quake or Quake II, although I knew about them). I tried thinking of a good name, but due to severe writer's block I couldn't quite place my mind on the english word "Jester" (Which I feel is descriptive of my personality), so I picked "Royal Fool" instead, which could be considered terrible slaughtering of the English language.
Well, it stuck.

Signature: Err. Rather self-explanatory, but feel free to PM me with further questions if you don't quite get it.
