Well, basically, my name started in August of '07 when I joined a Rome: Total War forum called totalwar.org.
I originally called myself SpartanGlory1983. I know, it sucks, but I didn't think so at the time.
Then it got to be a mouthful and I shortened it (but not by much) to SpartanGlory198.
Eventually that came to be a mouthful as well, so I lopped off the "Glory" part and shortened it to Spartan198 and that's what I've been using for a good few years now.
A lot of people think it's a Halo reference, but it's not. It's a reference to the real super soldiers of the ancient world, the Spartans who at the head of 7,000 other Greeks fought the hordes of Persia to a stand still on a narrow mountain pass in the summer of 480 BC.
No retreat. No surrender.
