East, but I had a dueller, and a shared account on west that I maintained. Am a member of a forum started by Phreek and home to a very select few others (some HCpurity guys, a couple duellers, just stand up folk (guys like Darius, Mikeyrat, Skitril, Algotzgame, GenocideVII) and I started a communal account for all of us on west that had 2 MF characters, a rushing team, a chip-finder, and an Anti-PK. Was a nice account because everyone could use it and thus it got good quickly.

But played mostly on east, and even then mostly HCpurity.

Do you still ever play?

I quit about a year ago, before 1.10(?) came out. I recognize a couple of those names.. darius/skitril/genocide, they all went on west for a bit.

Wesuck! ?

hehe, nope, not Wesuck!

It's just a private group of guys that kinda keeps to ourselves. Not a clan/group/whatever, just a bunch of guys that all used to play D2 and post on the Dii.net boards.

Anyway, that's enough sidetracking of the thread, who else has a good nickname?

 

[Elec]

Mine comes from my original AOL name that I created about 10 years ago. I was taking electronics classes in high school and really got into the circuit design and digital logic stuff. Needed a name for AOL, and you only got 10 letters/numbers at that time, so I was Elecstudnt. The lack of an E in studnt really gave a lot of people fits. I've since dropped AOL, graduated from college, and am no longer a "studnt", but the name stuck and I've just shortened it to Elec. Unfortunately, Elec is kind of a generic name and already in use on some boards/IRC/whatever. I can usually get it on smaller boards or any boards where I've been a member for a long time and snagged it early on

 

[spaceman]

I listen to Stephen Hill's Hearts of Space program on NPR because I am into ambient/space music, thus "Spaceman." I am also into astronomy, so that is fitting as well.

[Zindrla]

When I bought my last car I joined a car club for the first time. Personalized plates were the thing to have at the time. Since Cinderella is my favorite fairy tale - and I felt like a princess in the car - I wanted to get CINDRLA. Already taken in the state. So, since the car is a Z3 - I just substituted the Z, creating ZINDRLA. Still sounds pretty close.
I've been using it on boards for a while now because there has never been a conflict and I can always remember it.

Funny, I always assumed that it had something to do with hemp.

That's what happens when we assume.

 

[eyeteeth]

Was given to me by fellow students at Art college long ago.

I could be brutally honest of my own and other pieces, bite into and chew what I saw. But often used my gift/curse for humour. To this day I can turn it on or off at will so it's not really a burden.

[daycart1]

I must be loosing it; it seems all threads have gone into repeat mode.

Oh well:

Rene Descartes (1596-1650)
DAYCART (Calif. license plate)

 

[whistler]

Got it from my Grandmother.

The habit of whistling that is. Needed a screen name and whistler is quite descriptive and easier than fatandsenditary would have been.

or

I took it from the olde time radio show!
