My nick comes from my real name, but it went through several modifications. I started with my real name in 2005, when I was 10 years old and got a Siemens phone. At that time I was experimenting with some software modifications regarding Siemens phones, and a few Russian forums existed where I was particularly active. This was especially the case when, around 2006, I got a BenQ Siemens E71 which had standard button mappings, but an unusual screen resolution (240x320) for a Siemens phone. As the result, only a handful of J2ME games worked without input errors and with the full screen resolution. There were multiple forum threads where users published patches for 240x320 games, and one guy I talked to particularly often on this topic. His name was Ness, which was a shortened version of Nester (his real name). I thought it was quite cool, so I made up something similar. That is how "Stepanesss" was born. This nick remained in use until 2010, and was the nick with which I returned to W:A in 2009, participating in Winter Worm Olympics. In 2010, I was playing some Parachute Races with an Ukrainian dude called Argonat. His online nick was "argo", but he was registered as "Argonat" on the Russian forums, and I was curious what had made him change the name. It was for the sake of simplicity and to avoid double-entendre that could potentially lead to confusion. I felt that some of this applied to me, so I decided to shorten the name as well. To make it unique, the last S was capitalized. Thanks to that dude, as it was him who gave me the idea and oversaw the transition.
