Thanks for the patience everyone! Wanted to give full consideration to all of these names!

I also thought this was going be various people rating in game names, but this is cool too, I guess.
RedBaronFlyer. Man I like this name a lot. Very homey and everything. While of course I think of the pilot the Red Baron, I also think of the frozen pizza brand, and I was always a fan of that for my cheap frozen pizza choices. The use of letter case is something that I am also a fan of for this name. The thing is, the homey feeling doesn't just derive from the fact that the username is referencing normal ordinary things, like the ace or pizza brand, but also that it's a simple set of words that work together well. Each syllable's feeling is pretty good for this. 'Red' = hearty feeling, 'Bar-' = energetic, '-on' = zestful, 'fly-' = neutral, '-er' = earthy finisher. Very good name from both an evocation standpoint, and stylistic syntactics standpoint.

Let's see how you can make mine appear interesting.
Agux909. Your username presents an intriguing intersection between oddity and mundanity. Let me paint you a picture here: Have you ever watched that episode of South Park with the underwear gnomes? It reminds me of that episode... but rather than underwear, the gnomes are focused simply on being active productive members of society. It's like that. Now the other thing we've got to look at here is your letter choice. Right, the A-G sequence is rather typical, but when you follow a G by a U, and then also an X, that goes a bit off the wall. Now, using a 3-number follower is also worth noting because 3 numbers is also a bit of a special case. It's very common but, unlike 2/4/5, it can either have a special or boring meaning. These elements all kind of build together to set your name up in a curious light.

Epicgamer545. This right here is a classic video game username. Although it is arguably not original, it leans into its classic style, and stands strong despite the onslaught of modernity. That much I am a big fan of. You aren't unwilling to just say, "yeah dude, I'm an epic gamer, and I am proud"... And honestly that's refreshing. With so much ironic stuff these days, I am all for something just being solid. Now of course a cynic would say that indeed your name IS being ironic... but I don't think that you are doing that here. Atleast I really hope not. That would reduce your rating to like... very low. Luckily that's not the case.

which strider does my name make you think of?
Striders13. Well, I will say with your name, you have a fair dynamic going here. Stride is a good word that has a medium dark/gloomy, yet airy feeling to it. Really evokes the image of a silent night. However a strider on its own right is kind of a fantasy-esque role, which is good. Now the pluralization of it in a username isn't ideal though, and in many cases that might hurt the username more, but for this it works because of the 13. In fact, I suspect the deal here is that you have "S(trider)s13", as a standin for ss13... If so, that is pretty good, as the gloomier vibe fits well enough with the ss13. The silent sound not as much, but I think the silentness stands on its own. Fairly solid name.

Crag! I already rated your username, member?

Super Aggro Crag. Unclear what a crag is off the bat. Some video game enemy comes to my mind... I think an actual crag is a type of rock formation? This would make sense with the adjectives of 'Super Aggro', implying a fierce enemy. So the concept is good, however the tonguefeel is a bit off. Try saying it outload... twists your tongue a bit. This is one of the usernames that works best when shortened to a nickname like 'Crag'
Rating: 1200 ELO
That being said, I did learn that the word "Crag" is one of the only 2 (non-obscure) English words that came from the original British Celtic. The other is "bin." Which is neat. So you get a +250 to your previous rating.

I need a time machine to tell 2016 me to come up with a better name.
Borisvanmemes is a high-tier username, despite your protestations. This comes from three parts: the first is that it is rather distinct. You are unlikely to mistake this username for someone else, unlike many other usernames (ones starting with Q come to mind...). That is one of the most important parts of a good username. The second is that it includes an actual name. Having a real name inside a username is hit-or-miss, but in this case it works. Boris is also a good name in particular for that. The third is the rhythm of the username.
"Bor-V-is-^-van-V-memes" Nice solid peak that brings the whole thing together. Love it by a large amount.

the 2 exists because i forgot my old account's email AND password
Notgonnabreaktherule & notgonnabreaktherules2. Now these usernames, I wanna rate together as one due to their similarity. Alright so, your usernames definitely tell a story. Now I don't know the real story other than what you just said to me, but that's a good thing for me being able to be objective. Whoever has a username like this clearly implies they had some run-ins with the admins... not necessarily on /tg/station, but perhaps on some forum or something prior? Or perhaps it suggests you were banned on some other account and made this one to evade? Of course the whole #2 corroborates this story. Now I am not trying to commit character assassination on you, but in terms of what your username conveys, this is what I see. However don't take this as being a negative assessment. This story does not paint your username as sad loser who can't follow video game rules, but rather someone who takes a degree of pride in it. Like "Yeah, I ban evaded. What're you gonna do about it?" Bad-boy style. Good. (Remember this is only about your username in a vacuum, nothing else is intended about you forreal).
