P = "Portaller". Remember if he maps for Portal, he must have played Portal.

To me, it seems more obvious to be his first name..

Then what could be his first name?

It could be one of those recursive acronyms? Like, for example, WINE (a program to run Windows software on other OSes) that stands for WINE Is Not An Emulator

So you're suggesting PMK could as well be AMK, BMK, CMK, ..., ZMK? Then why the hell it's PMK, not AMK or BMK or whatever?

Or "the TTP project".

If that's the case, then why not PMK? P is just as good a letter as any of the others.

For the example given, WINE, W is selected so it makes up an English word, but there's no three-letter English word ending in MK. So yup, it's as good as it would be AMK, BMK, CMK, ..., ZMK.

Sorry I've been away and missed all this about my alias. You'll be disappointed by what it acually stands for btw. It's really lame lol.
I would normally tell you but it's too much fun letting you guys trying to figure it out

This may or may not help: I came up with the full alias when I was making music as a kid and abbreviated it to PMK once I reached the age where I realised how lame it was. Also you got the K right and are close with the M except its Maz_ _ _. P doesn't stand for anything Portal related tho

Sorry to tease. I promise I'll tell you soon unless someone gets it
