Happy Ookla the Mokovial 2016!

Welcome one and all once again to our yearly tradition! That's right Ookla the Mokovial is now!

 

For those new to the tradition, every year around this time, we have fun renaming ourselves to "Ookla the _____" in celebration of @PeterAhlstrom, Brandon's assistant!

 

For those wondering about the lore behind this holiday, i say shove off!

 

...Ok, fine. This tradition was started to recognize peter for generally being awesome for all the unseen work he does! The reason for the name change is because way back on the time waster's guide forums, peter went by the username "Ookla the Mok". In order to commemorate him and his old username, we came up with this tradition mostly off handedly and/or as a joke some 5 or 6 years back, and it just kinda stuck!

 

The holiday generally runs until we get bored of it, which usually goes for about a week or so, so until then, try to come up with a creative, festive name!

Some names are quite easy to guess... some people I no longer recognize and then there are some I know who they are but have no idea where their Ookla title comes from :blink:

For example, @Ookla the Chibi. I'm pretty sure who you are but no idea why "chibi" :) Is this supposed to be solvable?

P.S. Mine's a little poetic but I think it's solvable. Oh, and I changed my avatar. And my signature. Still solvable though :P

Haha. I had to find one of your older posts that still had your previous name on the "Edited by" note before I figured out who you were. XD

Why are there so many "Ooklas the..." + I-adjective? Is this how it's supposed to be played?

There's no set rules, just fashion trends. Mine is just the first and most concrete half of my username.
