    Nickname, but not one given to me by me peers, rather, given to me by my teacher in Primary school. People took it up, mainly because it rhymed with some ... not-very-polite (for Primary schoolers) adjectives. Well, my being a stubborn up-yours kind-of-guy, I decided to take it on as a mark of pride ... and am still called that.

    Got together with some friends for a Descent LAN party back in '96(?). I wasn't much of a FPS-type player back then, while a couple of the guys I was playing with were assassins. I was such a n00b I could barely stay alive for a few seconds. After a while, I changed my player name to represent what I felt like, just a pilot-less target to be shot down during training, and have used it online for gaming ever since.

    I added something About War or something when I first sign up for Gamespy in March 2004,and one name they picked out for me,because my first name was un-avabile, I pick AntiWarmanCake.. and I used it ever since,even though my Warman name went thoguh serve varitons of it, it still has the Warman in it,because without the Name Warman,there is no Warman :-) :-)

    I'm not sure exactly where I got mine. I think I might have had a huge cold when I first used Hankerchief somewhere. But that still doesn't explain the missing D and the fact that I now intentionally spell hankerchief this way.

    As for "General":
