I have a bad habit of answering questions on OGFC (the OGF discord server) about OGF - both technical questions and questions about my own mapping or lore. I think that's a bad habit because I want to acknowledge that OGFC is NOT OGF. There are lots of users who don't use discord. Plus, discord doesn't provide much of a searchable "record" of old questions or comments.

To counter this tendency of mine, I decided to create this "AMA" page. AMA means "Ask Me Anything." Post a question here, I will answer. I like trying to answer technical questions, especially - it helps me better understand our systems and often I learn things in trying to answer them. Sometimes, I might not answer very fast, if I'm busy. And some questions might be inappropriate (e.g. "What is your opinion on real world issue X?" - this is supposed to be about OGF, not my whole life).

This is an experiment. Maybe it will work out, maybe it won't. Meanwhile, happy mapping. - "Luciano"

question) What is the origin of the pseudonym "Luciano"? (asked by Luciano 2021-12-09)

answer) It's not my real name. I have used it as a nickname since my early teenage years, in certain contexts. When I lived in Mexico, I would sometimes give "Luciano" as my name when I met people, because my real name is not a typical Spanish-language name and is hard to "explain" to people so they get it right - I'd inevitably have to spell it out and explain what kind of name it was.
