Guess That Name Contest Round 1: @negativer
THIS IS NOT A DRILL...
THIS IS NOT A DRILL...
THIS IS NOT A DRILL...
Round 1 of Guess That Username CONTEST is officially kicking off today and will run until next week Sunday morning.
Goals for This Contest:
- Build community
- Have Fun
- Make a bunch of sweet crypto for those who choose to participate!
Have you wondered what’s the meaning behind some of your fellow Steemians usernames?
I know I have. Some of the names out there are so creative and intriguing, yet I've never taken the time to find out what they mean. I've now just begun to communicate with my fellow Steemians on Discord, but with such little time and so many neat people, I needed a way to speed up the process. This contest will hopefully achieve that goal.
Most of us didn’t have a hand in choosing our RLN (Real Life Names) so when we’re given the opportunity to create usernames online, what drives us to choose what we’ve chosen? Our usernames are our own personal chosen signatures to the world. What do they all mean? Inquiring minds want to know! Through this contest I hope to shed some light on our more obscure and bizarre Steemians. This contest will tell us a lot about them and about ourselves through our responses and interactions.
So, let’s have some fun, shall we?
Here’s the rules:
- I will nominate and then interview a fellow Steemian each week as to how they came up with their username.
Contestants will give their best explanation to the meaning behind the mystery of that username in the comment section of the contest post. You can choose to be serious, or just be creative and funny, your choice.
Contestants will upvote and resteem that weeks contests post. That may sound tacky, but the more people hear about this contest and the more SBD it pays out, the higher the winnings will be.
Maximum 2 entries per Steemian. No contest hogging on my watch!
There are two ways to win:
- The original username owner will determine whose answer is most accurate
AND
- The amount of upvotes per contestant comment will determine whose answer is the most creative.
In case of a tie (that being a same accurate or creative answer). The winner will be determined by who commented first.
There are two ways to be disqualified:
If you contact or have had contact with the nominated user and ascertained the meaning of their username, you are resolutely disqualified.
If the nominated user is a Real Life Friend (RLF) you should be ashamed of yourself for associating with such riff-raff and you are soundly disqualified by the guilt of your association.
Keep in Mind:
The whole point of this contest is to meet new people and learn new things. It’s not just about winning SBD.
You are on the honor system when participating. So, be honorable and don’t let your inside knowledge drive you crazy for filthy lucre.
The WINNINGS!
Each winner will receive 25 % of the original contest post payout in SBD.
The nominated username owner will also receive 25% of the original contest post payout in SBD.
PLUS, each winner will receive 5 SBD from me!
Without further ado:
THE FIRST USERNAME TO BE NOMINATED IS

Good luck to all the contestants. Let the games begin!

Well...THIS should be interesting :)
Yes it should. You better have a really dynamic reason for your username and not just some fortune cookie you stumbled upon after gorging yourself on China Buffet. :)
Believe it or not, I do have a small origin story.
NEG is an abbreviation of negative photograph, AT is the abbreviation of Austria, IV is the abbreviation of intravenous, and ER is the abbreviation of emergency room; so clearly he takes pictures from Austria of people hooked up to IV's in emergency rooms NEG-AT-IV-ER. Or possibly he really does not like the letter R.
Either way I'm sure i got this. ;)
Super creative. You....might not be entirely accurate, but it's a pretty darn creative idea.
Negativer= negative+giver. You have always been a negative person most of your life until one day, you realized you needed to change that. You found out the best way to become more positive was to become a giver. Boom! Negativer was born!
His real name is revitagen, and he just found out that when he spells it back, it sounded awesome! People on many social media do that. You know, spell their name backwards as username. We dont know, he might be one of those. I wont judge.
REVITAGEN! Sounds pretty cool, like something from Fallout 4 that gives you special powers or something. Not bad, not bad.
Revitagen. I did a search and all I'm getting is listings for stretch mark creams. :/
Revitagen sounds like a prescription pill with untested side effects. I hope that is not the case here...
Born to Thomas and Martha, two very wealthy and charitable socialites, he lived a very privileged life. That changed when he was 8. On the way home from the theatre with his parents, they were attacked by a small-time criminal. During the attack his parents are killed. After the attacker flees, he swears an oath to rid the city of the evil that took his parents. He engages in intense intellectual and physical training; however, he realizes that these skills alone would not be enough. "Criminals are superstitious and cowardly lot," he remarks, "so my disguise must be able to strike terror into their hearts. I must be a creature of the night, black, terrible..." As if responding to his desires, a bat suddenly flies through the window, inspiring him to take on the persona of Bat... Oh damn! Wrong origin story.
Second attempt: @negativer has quite an affinity with the morose and macabre?
If I had super powers, I probably would not be on steemit. Still...not bad! :)
I feel like Bruce Wayne would support the Steem technology. 😂
Hhmm @negativer, I would guess that they have an ongoing perspective from the negative side of a situation, but they make the best of it. So kind of making a thing out of it like a do-er. They are a negativer. 🙃
@negativer intended to choose @negative for his username but someone had already taken it (or he lost his key to that account after creating it) so out of spite he decided to call his account @negativer since he was better than any old @negative.
I believe it is because he is always depressed and negative about stuff. So he's negativer. But knowing him discord, his sense of humor does tend to negate his depressive tendencies.
And have you read this guy's fiction? Everything is dark and dreary! Negativer than just negative!
His blood type is R Negative.
