lol @x :D Please, elaborate.

@TheCommunist: Damn you! In Europe challenge I intentionally attacked Russians to push them out of Poland and take revenge :]

My nickname was given by my friends in new school - when they heard my last name they thought it sounded similar to 'harfa' (polish for 'harp'). I spell it with 'c' (pronunciation stays the same) because my last name starts with 'ch' and because it's actually an orthographic error and thus it's much more distinctive. At first I didn't like it of course, but it got stuck and I've been using it everywhere for 15 years now :) Actually, more people call me by that name in real life than by my first name (not to mention on the internet).

Another long story

The Irish spymaster himself who brought the british empire to its knees between 1918 and 1921 which led to Ireland achieving its independence after 800 years of pilage and rape by the English.

because i am not irish?

Red, again, the thread for long stories..

Noob, back when I played CS, my nick turned out to be 'JewishNazi' since I am german, and love contradictions... many of my friends still joke about it..
and on UT3, I went through many nicks, starting with this one, then going to 'Anotherbot' then to 'ANooberBot' mainly cause I am a semi-noob at FPS's and dislike the pressure of being thought of as a vet, and like the idea of emulating a bot.. \*which on occassion I went through great pains to act and react exactly according to how the bots had, at the time*

Back when I was just a lil' scrub and the internet wasn't for mere mortals, I used to call BBSs, which were kind of a proto-internet but you used your phone to dial in and if someone was already online then you'd get a busy signal.

I ended up logging into this Christian BBS to get involved in some theological debates (I'm agnostic) and I wanted a name that had overtones of menace and condescension. Devilnis just came to me randomly and for some reason the handle stuck and I've been using it ever since. Menacing because it's got "DEVIL" (rawr) in it, and condescending because it is like an old-school noble's name, as if I was the Marquis de Vilnis. It has the benefit of always being available hehehe so I'm cool with it.

Perrin, I'm pretty sure they're joshin' with ya. Clearly X was making a joke.

Mine is simple. My name is J Russell Mikkelsen.
<----------and that's a picture of me.

I played a character named Kleyton elsewhere, who enjoyed burning cats and typing illegibly.

The 'Manning' bit was a pun by The Impaller, who was part of the group of friends who dragged me to this site.

So I am now Kleyton Manning, and Guy Mannington is my wide receiver.

Well...if you saw my Mrs!

Hah!

1337 = leet = elite

Put my name in the middle for symmetry

You mean for asymmetry...

when i played a rubbish fantasy games in the past i choose ironheart to sound or fantasy like then when i came to warlight i didn't want to use tablo which i normally use.This is my name story not because i hav a bionic heart.

isn't it obvious?? <<<

Seing your name-change history: yep - it IS obvious... :P

I love playing poker with my mates and my name is always Angel Boy due to my youthful looks (seriously its rare for me not to get ID-ed even though I'm 26 and drinking age is 18 in the UK) Used that Angelic part and added it to my blonde hair blue eyed looks to get to this moniker. Love this thread whoever posted it :)

P.s I hope emgzapper pops up with his reason, he's always a hoot.

raverbaby is synonomous with the hardcore dance scene as an event organiser and record label.

I couldn't find a name I was happy with (tried a couple).
Then I stated to really like the music from Major Lazer, which is a collaborative musical project from DJ/Producers Diplo and Switch.
I thought the name was going nicely with the military type of game that is Warlight.
Also Major Lazer fight zombies and vampires. Can't go wrong really...

Every once in awhile I get tired of my gamer-tag and I decide to change it up. I'm insane and I leave my enemies dazed and unable to keep up, hence D&I was born. My main tag used to be Ximer, but these days everyone is using it. Ximer=Remix mirrored and it sounds awesome.
