Give the origin of your nick (even if it's obvious)

[Veho Nex]

Wow epic thread necromancy. Is 4 years a record?

Anyways.... Back in 08 my friends thought it would be awesome to be the best/biggest/what ever clan in Age of Conan. We had 350 members from day one. Well 3 weeks before the game came out I was desperately looking for a latin name that would go with our sassy name of Dies Irae. My original gaming nick was CowTipp which derived from CowTipper which came from CowTippingHick Which was given to me in BF2 for the PS2. For some reason the clan I was in when I played that game back in the day called all armor Cow's or for multiples, cattle. I used to talk like a hick and soooo they started calling me the CowTippingHick after I got extremely good at killing tanks. We called heli's chickens, still dont know why.



And back to Veho Nex. Roughly translates into Rider of Death or Sailor of Death... I meant it to be the fourth rider of the Apoc, the one who controlled the first 3 and even had Hades following him around

Hehe. Hehe. He. He.

Originally Rythmic, misspelt for annoyance, chosen as I played bass. Hence kept the rhythm.

Now Psychonaut, because I like it.

did you ever play Ravenshield?

if you did, did you ever play a map called UWA_REMF, cos i made it?

[Lemur]

"Lemur" has been my nom de guerre for a long, long time. When I worked in an office, the people who I managed even bought me a stuffed lemur toy for my desk. (It quickly made its way into my little lemur's crib.)

I also maintain a secondary identity as "Jethro Q. Lungfish," another animal-themed name which is just silly enough to make people think twice but not quite so absurd that they challenge me. I have signed many, many forms that I didn't want to fill out under Mr. Lungfish's name. I've even published under it.

But if you asked anyone in my family where the lemur was, they'd know who you meant.

Been a while, made a few short trip to Raven Shield but kept getting back at Rogue Spear, better paced, better maps.

[Andres]

My mother calls me Andres.


In a previous life, when I still played FPS's online, I roamed the interwebz under the name "The Perforator", which is also the Dutch word for an office tool.

[pevergreen]

I found someone with this name, killed them, took their identity.

Then I found another one, so I killed him, took his name as my password.

[Sarmatian]

Pretty obvious for all RTW players... Anything cooler than Horse Archers from the steppes? No? I didn't think so...

True story.

Though I like Reenks story.

uberlol for office humor, truly hilarious nick

[Rhyfelwyr]

Caledonian Rhyfelwyr came from a unit of a very similar name in Europa Barbarorum. It has since changed to Balrooae (sp?), and it's the skirmisher unit you get in Scotland. Since then I renamed to just Rhyfelwyr since that's a neater size for a username, although this has had the unfortunate side-effect of leading to accusations of Welshness, propagated mainly by a certain member of the EB Tavern.

Hehe. The hole-punch.
