If you are wondering where the name "Armswiper" came from, then you are probably not alone.

When I was in the Sixth Form, we used to play games across the school network in our lunch hours (but don't tell any of my tutors that, or I will get creamed); and naturally we needed player names.

As a joke one day, I entered "Armswiper" as my name (as in: "Come here, I want your arm. I'm gonna nick it!"), and it kind of stuck.

When I occasionally play online games, even to this day, I will use the name Armswiper. So if you see somebody in a game with that name, it'll be me.
