I just wanted a name that seemed original and interesting. Since my class was studying ancient Roman history at the time, and there was an article about the official "Pliny", I decided to use that as a name. No one else had taken it, or really seemed to know about it, so it's been my name. I've been thinking about changing it to something else with a P, such as 'Plinori', because the P seems to stick as a username, despite the fact that my real name has absolutely no P's in it. Originally, my username was going to be 'Tezla', but my brother played blockland for a bit while that was my set name, so I dropped it out of paranoia that his playing on multiplayer servers would carry over into me playing as well, and that if we met any others who had met our blockhead at different times, there would be confusion.
