What is the etymology of "Fizzer"?

While investing time on Warlight, he probably spent as much time on League of Legend mainly using Fizz (http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Fizz)

An outstandingly lively, energetic, or excellent thing. In this case Fizzer has claimed the name by being lively and energetic in creating the game. He's created the excellent thing of Warlight, he is the excellent thing that created him. Fizzer is his name, he deserves it.

Fizzer: A person who fizzes around, doing a lot where he goes but sometimes missing things as he zips around.

The etymology of Fizzer, the creator of WarLight.

Though in the beginning he used his personal name, Randy, over time as WarLight became more popular, he adopted the new persona, Fizzer.

Many confuse Fizzer as a modified version of the verb "to fizz" which means to be a gas of liquid nature that makes a hissing sound, or possesses the quality of bubbliness.

Modern scholars, however, believe the name is in fact an adaptation of fissure, which is a long, narrow breakage made by cracking or splitting, generally from a rock formation. He is then believed to have modified the "ure" of fissure with the "er" of his last name and changing the "ss" to "zz" to pack a greater punch into the overall sound of the name.

WarLight is often considered a groundbreaking game in the Risk-type strategy world and because it breaks away from traditional "pay-to-play" tactics of other game developers, who often seek profitability at the cost of competitive play. It is also one of the few Risk-type games to have developed so deeply, without rejecting the principles of Risk and turning into a "Civilization" style game.

In this sense it can be said that Fizzer was in fact a "fissure" in the foundation of modern online games, particularly of the Risk-type genre, by rejecting conventional profiteering in favor of the players.

As an independent game, WarLight upholds the principle that players with greater financial resources should not receive an advantage over other players. This makes WarLight a game with a reigning meritocracy, where the highest rated and ranked players are from a variety of social and economic backgrounds.

Editors Note:

Though the foundation of the game upholds fair and competitive play, there are loopholes, but Fizzer has continued to live up to his name by periodically providing improvements and updates to the WarLight community to increase the overall quality of the game. He has never wavered in his mission to improve WarLight, even when the fickle mobs mock and turn against him.

If you place Randy in water, he produces effervescence akin to mentos in diet coke.

My answer will not be creative. But funny, I did actually have some thoughts about this matter some time ago. =) And I am only interested in truth, as you know.

I will keep it simple this time. Fear not.

You all know the word benefiz and in my childhood we had a game called "Malefiz". The syllable <fiz> here comes from Latin meaning "doing" or "making". So in one word "Fizzer" is the "Maker" in sense of "Creator".

I hope at least this time no one will claim that honor for evolution again, I dare say.

But Julkorn, we all know that WarLight is a distant descendent of Risk, forming after millions of years of mutations causing a change in species!

Let's have an argument.

The - usually derogatory, although some fetishes are said to exist - term for a female, or the genitalia thereof, suffering from such a heavy yeast infection that upon ejaculation, the sugar content of semen causes a fizzing effect.

"So how was the party? I heard you and some blonde had chemistry?"
"I'll say. I was so drunk I didn't know she was a fizzer until it was too late."

:P

Too much lysergic acid diethylamide.

Extra explanation about the word: 大正
Actually Moros is right in that case while Arun is wrong. The word 大正'S pronunciation in Japanese is Taisho. But, Arun is thinking about the chinese way to pronounce it (so he thinks that the character should be 太 (sounds like "Tai" in chinese) but not 大 (sounds like "Da" in chinese) ;) So, sometimes you gotta see if the word is for Japanese to pronounce or Chinese to pronounce. :D
