Say here why do you have nick which you have, and not any other. I start ;>

I was playing MonkeyIsland (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey_Island_(series)) back then and just needed a team in worms, so I picked MonkeyIsland. when joining into wormnet I was just testing to see how wormnet works, so I "temporary" put MonkyIsland there... ah well it is still temporary ^^

I used to be Xray99, long story: one of my friends said that I saw through people, like I knew if they lie or anything, what sees through people? Xray. Since that looked lame and was too short, I put my favourit number after that. Xray9. It still looked lame so I became Xray99.
Then I just shortened it, when I joined sL, sL`Xray99 looked lame again for me, so Ray is all what's left. :)

Post by: nappy on April 25, 2010, 01:22 AM
"Tenori Taiga" is Aisaka Taiga's nickname ("Toradora!"). It means "palmtop tiger" in Japanese, since she's very small and very angry.
The way in which I picked up this nickname is rather weird. Some time ago I was trying to dive into anime world (don't watch this stamped shit lol, don't waste your time). This nickname was used as temporary account in Jabber, as I created it shortly after watching the corresponding series. Following some funny stories, it became my main nickname for a while then, and during that period I made a comeback to worms.

Started playing in 99 and ever since little kid I always wanted to be a Free Man so I tried to register Freeman as my nick but it was taken, and since I'm original as f*ck, I just chose Freeman2 as my nickname and rocked with it quite a long time. :D

Post by: Spaazi on April 25, 2010, 02:08 PM
I started playing in 1999 with one of my buddy m1kal. I used to play shoppers but my english wasn't very good at the time and I didn't know rules. So in the chat box, I was giving shit to people who couldn't stop yelling "KILLLLL THE COWWWW" I was like, wtf cow, worms here, stop taking drug asshole. That is how I started roping. Then I got in a clan called xJEWx but i didnt know it was for Jewish only, again, my english sucked ;D There were a few nice religious fella in that clan lol; clan leader xJEWx itself and Almog, you might remember them... i ain't no jewish btw :o Then I became very good at roping, I used to own ropers especially..
Then I joined OTB (only the best) that's very oldschool.. This clan was one of the best ever. My best worms mates were from that clan: GrIm, Fade2Black, Krd, Fizix, Breeze etc. At the time, I decided to change my nick to Bagz; my real name is Gabriel, surname is Gab, inverted + z = Bagz ;D Otb clan website was so sick, m0nk was a crazy graphik and programmer or whatever you guys call them. he owned at computers (lol) Everybody was v active on our forums... you might also remember Cellblock and his gf :D?!
After this, OTB died for good because of conflicts between members.. I stayed solo for a while and then joined Ce with my friends uleadc, kiros and fredalot :) This is were I earned my alcoholic reputation. I was drunk and kept yelling on the program to chat while game with mic :X huh?! There was an audio file that Fredalot saved of me.. a few old wormers heard it... I changed my name back to Spaazi as I joined Ce because i am canadian.
Oh, and how my name was made hmm... it's totally random :X

What ever happened to that supreme guy? Did he change nicks? Everyone I have mentioned him to over the years talking about good ropers, knowone seems to know him. I remember warming with him a lot, he was a good roper as I remember.
I hate the name I use, when I first started playing I was young an immature and liked rap music. Now I can't stand it. Anyways, I liked WC and westide connection. So I used wscg at first, then wsc, then WC, then Dub-c because thats how WC's name was pronounced. Also used ThaShady1 on and off because WC was known as tha shadiest one. Used the name Madface also for a period because of the rap group onyx. Had other names when I first started playing but don't remember.

Slider was my first nickname for about a year, around 2001/2002 then I became LordHound after that.
I got slider off that crappy show "Sliders", anyone remember? :)
I remember changing to LordHound sometime after playing with LordZeteg, which also was the beginning of my love for Mwc! I just thought, "I WANT TO BE A LORD", or something. Hound just seemed....right.
Nearly changed my name to Dogmaster thanks to d1 :)
Had a few alias's I played with too; TheCelt, UltraPanda and TheRadiator to name but a few :)
Good times.

Now you're just joking! I don't have that much influence and you know it :P
I picked this name long ago when I was still playing a bit of warcraft II online. I was playing under my brother's nick at the time (suspision, yes, I know, there's a typo in there!) And I was asked to join a clan, so I had to make up a new name on the spot.
Guess I was influenced by the subtitle of WC2 :)

I started playing WA 2005. Well, first my name was Tank, comes from a Hungarian rock band, Tankcsapda. I used to like having more than 1 nick, cause I thought it's cool xD. So I changed my nick to Godfather. Godfather -> God -> Godi -> GodiTo. Sounds well, so I took it x). Also I played WO2008 under Don-Corleone nick. But GodiTo is much more sexually nick, so I changed back.

well i used to play gta 3 a lot when i was a kid. There was a gang named Triads. I liked the triad name. Then i saw that triad is a very rare nick. I registered a famous turkish site around 2008 (which founded in 1999 and have over 9.000.000 member) with triad nick easily. Well then i started to use triad nick everywhere :D
P.S: I found this thread while searching "site:tus-wa.com lordzeteg" in google lololo

hehehe, ye, oldschool thread here 8)
Well, I already gave a short explanation about my nickname in my sign.
B4 to use "Professor", I used to play with my realname CesarVastuk. Since i got some problems with Titanoob xD, i changed it. He started to insult me in social networks and it took a lot of my time asking the websites staff to erase the stuff. So, I changed my nick and never more did mention about my real name here.
As long i helped a lot brazillian newbies how to play worms, including Kaleu, Zippo, Camper and others non famous, I had a girl who called me as Professor (Teacher). That's the origin of my playername.
Currently i'm using GreatProfe because i am great and that's all xDDDDDDDD

The first time i came online i forget what name i had but i played a few games with some guys that were really good.. And for some reason afterwards a guy named leadbob told me to join his game.. As i did he proceeded in teaching me how to rope.. Spent a good 45 min learning how to shadow.. After about 2hrs of ropeing and learnin we decided to save the rest for another day.. He stated befor we left that the name i was useing was lame and i should change it.. It just so happened there was a car crew that had just started and its name was mayhem so i used that he accepted it and its been the same ever since... That was back on 2004.. Damn you leadbob for teachin me how to rope... 9yrs later and im still stuck on this damn game

Nothing special here, just my name is Igor. Read it backwards... ;D I used this nick for 8 years. I really didnt invent it. One time, few girls from my school reversed my name and called so. It looked funny for them, coz "rogi" from russian means "horns" like this one xD
First time, it was unusual for me, it sounds so strange + plural. xD But after some time i couldnt to do something with that. cuz it sticked to me like second name, and many friends called me so. I'm used to it ;)

Post by: Casso on May 24, 2013, 09:58 PM
My nickname comes from the name of my dog "Cassandra" because I was very fond of him and I usually called him with the abbreviated name "Casso". I was very sad when he died after 15 years but I continued to use it.
In the Italian language this nickname can be easily misunderstood because it has a sound pretty similar to the words "cazzo" (dick) and "cesso" (toilet) but I don't care :)

I didnt copyed my nickname from Ławrientij Beria !!!!! All which are thinking then i used hes name are wrong..
....when i was young i pleyed in one german mmorpg game, and i had characteur there named "Da`Brax". I used this name also in worms years ago. After some time this name was evolved in "Braxton", i remember then Peja started to call me "Toni" :p coz of one singer "Toni Braxton".
And after all from "Braxton" i started to use "Berria" coz is shorter and sounds more expressive.
