Planetarion Forums - Your Internet nickname

Crackmonkey · 13 Jul 2003, 06:03

I just sorta made it up one day, it was actually a bit more original back then though. I've gone through many nicks in the past, For a long time I used Phoenix, but then everybody and their brother started using that (not to mention that half couldn't even spell it right). On the forums I used BlackKnight, dunno how that came about really, I just started typing random things until it accepted one. Probably something I saw on TV or some crap site I was looking at. Anyway since I was never that well known here I changed it to Crackmonkey.

i'm original.
And lazy.

Mirai · 14 Jul 2003, 06:23

I used to watch DBZ a lot.

I liked Trunks.

Then I decided the show was crap one day. I believe this was during R1 sometime.

Round 2 came around, and the trunks dropped off my name.

Here I am.

Worship me.

(I also use 'Contaminant' on Aniverse and Dalnet, but that name I just made up one day)

Mine evolved from a name I renamed AKI-Man in WCW/NWO Revenge on the N64 several years ago, which was 'fiveassedmonkeymanVII' the 'fiveassedmonkey' bit came from south park, and the 'manVII' bit was totally random, being 14 as i was at the time. This later became my yahoo msger name (with a 7 replacing the VII), and a while later my round 3 ruler name. Because this was too long for On my Bday which was during round 3, I got given a pimp tshirt by some m8s, which i then wore all the time until a few months later everyone else seemed to have it, including some guy on tv. Before that happened though, round 4 came, and my name became 'Fiveassedmonkeypimp7' or Monkeypimp7 for short. I quickly droped the 7, and stuck with 'Monkeypimp'. Earlier this year, that account got banned, and now my **** name has become worse (on here at least). Other names I have used are 'pimpinacanoe' and 'the big stick' (the big stick™ was my planet name in round 5, and pimp in a canoe came from the tshirt, and the fact that I played canoe polo at the time)

I am somewhat sick of the name 'Monkeypimp' now though now.

Weeks · 14 Jul 2003, 11:04

I was listening to:
Aphex Twin - To Cure A Weakling Child.

Weakling
Weakz
Weekz
Weeks

I quite like it because it is kind of an ordinary word in a virtual world of so many strange words.

Sometimes i get bored of it though. But it too hard to change now, with all the people who know me as Weeks.

Nondescript Human · 14 Jul 2003, 14:15

I like mine. It is appropriate for me, and manages originality despite implying conformity.

Structural Integrity · 14 Jul 2003, 16:42

Structural Integrity, or Structural.... No place where you find that nick. I'm happy enough with "Structural", though it begins to feel ancient as it's been with me for almost over three years.

The idea became when on highschool we were using big expensive words and sentences. One sentence being "The structural integrity is not withing the acceptable parameters" for when something was broken.
When I had to reg an account for PA, that was the first thing that popped in my mind, and chose it as rulername. I also regged a boardaccount with that name, and it stuck.

I also had "Delphi" (Greek Oracle) as nick in my pre-PA period, but people always though I was a girl when I used that nick. Why is beyond me.

Yeggstry · 14 Jul 2003, 16:59

I love mine because it is one of the very few that is genuinely 100% RANDOM AND ORIGINAL.

honest, I just bashed the keyboard one day when I needed a name for a computer opponent and it came up with "Yeggstry". Take a look at ur keyboard and you will see that all of the letters are close enough for a reasonable sized fist/palm to hit the keyboard and come up with it. That was over 10 years ago, and it stuck

Aquario · 14 Jul 2003, 17:20

My first Irc nick was [IOM]Sam reg'd it with P also,
feck its where i am from and my first name, but sounds shyt.

needed to develope something else. Cause basically i sounded shyt. No alliance would take me cause i had a gay name. )-:

So i started thinking what i would change it to, As i dont play any online games apart from PA, I had to do my thinking from scratch.

I was at the time listening to a song called RIO, who it was by i dont know what Cd I dont know, and I was drinking a glass of water at the time, they kind of merged. Aquario. duduh..

WaterRio
Riowater
Water
Rio
Aqua
All sounded and looked a little plain/gay

and If i was called Rio everyone would of thought I was a brazilian and once they saw my pasted white skin they would have a heart attack so health reasons were thought of also.

I like short nicks.

your cat got ran over by your gf or something, right?

XeeThot · 14 Jul 2003, 21:24

I was trying to make my mate's english grandmother to say my nickname... Xee Thot got her to say it right...

It stuck...

Andy_r · 14 Jul 2003, 23:51

I find it worderfully liberating to be able to use my alias Andy_R.

You have no idea how difficult RL is when your real name is Jarjar Pickard McWarezood III

queball · 14 Jul 2003, 23:59

I had shaved my head and misspelt cueball.

W · 15 Jul 2003, 00:09

Once upon a time I used the handle Crypto, and was part of a demogroup called GigaZone. First started using W publicly back in the days when command and conquer was hot. The true origin of the name/symbol/whatever is lost as it's been with me as far back as I can remember. Of course, that's another lie.

I believe Delphi is a female? Whatever it is, in the Game Giants: Citizen Kabuto one of the characters is a naked blue woman called Delphi - that may have been your trouble I believe.

As for my nick? I have used a number only one of which has any originality. At the moment the origin of my nick is fairly obvious (http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Station/2921/hal.jpg). The last nick I used (though not on these forums) was Maverick, again whose origins are fairly obvious (http://images.amazon.com/images/P/63...1.LZZZZZZZ.jpg). However the first name I used on here was Bonalste - and a special prize goes to the first person who can work out where I got this name from!

Atul · 15 Jul 2003, 00:29

quite comfortable with my nickname which originated 6 years ago when i joined a starcraft clan of startrek fans
Atul is the name of a Klingon Intelligence Officer whom i found in my ST:CCG collection
i only noticed 2 years later that it is actually some sort of indish surname, havent found anyone till now who uses the nick tho (even tho theres so many ppl livin in India

my other 2 nicks are Solaris, which i had b4 using atul for about 3 weeks (yeh, im sad, i joined the internet and had my first addictive game only 3 weeks later)
and HeAgI or Heagar, which is use mainly for RPGs like Ultima Online
that nick actually originates from a comic figure

xtothez · 15 Jul 2003, 01:21

It's now the 2nd page of this thread so no one cares where I come from.
