JMich: Aye, I can confirm that. Thiev does like to torment me, even though I'm nowhere near Warsaw. I still recall those "Guess the game" collages you did back in the day.
I still have them on my HDD.

GOGlin, because:
1. let's face it, goblins are more frequent in RPGs than troglodytes (i, personally, saw troglodytes only in HOMM3);
2. GOGlin can be a reference to Linux (GOG + Linux) and linuxoids (GNU/Linux users in Russia call themselves this way)!

So, i prefer goglin.

InaneKorruption: GOGans!
Or GOGens! To treat Eugène Henri Paul Gauguin, a French post-Impressionist artist.
In Russian his name sounds like "Gogen". :)

Pardinuz: GOGlin sounds better and is also the easiest to pronounce. I like the switch. :)
Every time I read it it just feels like they forgot to add a g to the end.

I like the classic GOGlodyte.

Treasure: GOGer (my preferred naming) is even easier to pronounce, so the pronounciation excuse falls kind of flat there...
I guess that depends on your native language. A lot of Asians would disagree that R is easier to pronounce than L. :P

That would be a great alternative as well.

Call me boring but I'd rather be referred to as a GOG forum member.
Most if the alternatives sound like euphemisms for something you do to a passed out person at a frat party.

They can call it GOGel then, anything as long as it isn't Goglin...
Not to mention that at least in the case of Japanese, my impression is that they're actually better at pronouncing R rather than L. Case in point: Here's an episode from an old anime whose protagonist is called Sally - the way I hear it, it is pronounced as Sari instead, so R isn't a problem at least for the Japanese, while L is something that could cause problem in their pronounciation of e.g Goglin instead (as that one includes L)...

Once again(as I've been over this with another guy yesterday):
1) You totally forget GOGer and overly focus on Troglodyte -also forget the Rpgs, they aren't the center of the universe!
2) Also everyone who doesn't care about Linux, which is like at least 80% of the people out there, isn't going to appreciate us forcing an awful naming on their throats with the linux excuse...

That could be a good middle way if it weren't for the fact that it's kind of long -Gog Forumite is shorter, but doesn't sound as formal I guess...

I'm for goglodyte, it has a nice ring to it and it would be something captain Haddock would've come up with.

So... GOGlin could become GOGrin? GOGrin... GOGrin... I like that! :D

gamefood: ... and/or sings often this well beloved song.
Jolly good!
Do you possibly know who wrote the lyrics?

GOGer/GOGger is so boring, they might as well call us "Dear Valued GOG.com Customers". No thanks.
GOGlin and GOGlodyte are both nice. I love bad puns.
GOGnard makes the most sense etymologically, but... maybe a bit obscure.

As a Witcher fan I might also go for or [url=http://witcher.gamepedia.com/Fogler]GOGlet - but of course this isn't just a Witcher forum, despite what some new users seem to think. :-P
