Story behind your nick
« on: December 28, 2016, 01:42:31 AM »
Hi. I've thought of making this topic recently, so people could tell us why they started playing with their current nick, and obviously to share a (probably) interesting story with all of us. The point is simple; explain how and why you chose your nick that your online friends are familiar with now, and tell us the story (if there is anything to be told). This applies only if you have anything to share or if, most importantly, you want something to share and post here. Rules remain clear : keep your bullshit away from this place including: racism, sexism, flamebait, insults, foul language etc. Basically, forum rules.
You don't follow the rules, you be an idiot, you be off along with the expected punishment. Got it?



There have been number of assumptions coming from different people that were questioning my nick in the past, but the majority always thought my nick derives from a name of pretty famous (and retarded) football player Wayne Rooney. In fact, this is what most people think of when asking around about my name. My nick 'Runey' (former 'Runi') is supposed to be a synonym (can't explain it better) to 3rd Blacklist NFS Most Wanted's Racer's name, Ronnie. Indeed, he was my favourite character in whole NFS series, and i remember having a lot of trouble beating him when i was little. When i was about to start playing SA:MP in mid 2011, this is the name i could think of that would suit me the best, so yeah.
Fun fact : We even used to look alike during my longhair period (2011-2014) when i had really long blond hair, and when a lot of people couldn't guess if i were male or female. ;D



Now feel free to write an amusing story lying behind your nick, will be cool reading that stuff.

Haha, i can clearly remember that one, made me laugh too hard.

Yes, Myle. I was thinking though, instead of bumping the old one we could use the new one, without any questions to be filled, but to use the almighty freedom of speech. This way users will be (maybe) inspired to write something more since there is no limit in what you write here.

Well, you can always do something to attract more players here, and it's exactly the point of the topic itself, isn't it? I've seen the forum been dead recently, so i'm just trying to get it back on its feet a little. Hopefully this topic won't become dead any time soon. ;)

Thanks for sharing your story with us (what's the name of the game, someone may be familiar with it).

As blewert already well knows  ;D my nickname originates from this program's label that was placed on my old laptop which i had just bought back then:



When i was connecting to samp for the first time i was searching for a name to join with.. had no idea about what to choose so i looked around and saw this little label, whose name sounded nice to me. Hence my nick

Ok.

Myle is not my real name but a nick name which I use whenever I need/want to use a nick.It was named by my cousins during my childhood(8-10y/o) when we used to name each other(those days :') ).It's funny but I got attached to it more than my real name and people in my real life also calls me with this name to get a quick response,lol.Just got attached to it!


And you're right Runey,freedom of speech does makes it more interesting!

There's always another way

Me too Myle, I have 4 names and I use different ones according to where I am travelling so it is kind of a pain in the ass ...Anyways I ask people to call me by my school nickname (not Melt lol/just a play on my surname) and it's become a custom with time...

Good, reason yes.
My story: My friends have been calling me Milko since I was little, so I adapted to it. But when I joined VCMP, I was milko_the_ace until I found out that I'm the only Milko ever to play VCMP. ;D

I'm nicked TrueBlue because back in the day when I was playing WW2 fighter simulators I used to paint my plane's tail or my plane's nose in a blue color. Then squadron comrades started calling me Blue fighter, then I changed my username to TrueBlue to sound catchier and so that squadron mates can alert me quicker.

"TrueBlue check, 2 bogies, high at 1 o'clock"

"TrueBlue check 6"

"TrueBlue bogie behind us, I'll bait him you loop behind him"

From then I liked the username and I started using it for other games.

Enzo is an italian name.
As simple and unimpressing as it sounds, i just searched for a name that both sounded fast and deadly. Enzo did actually come to my mind from Enzo Ferrari, for the fast part. And for the deadly part i just picked Mort, which is french for death. Now to round it up i just made the surname sound like it was italian aswell with the typical 'elli' ending. = EnzoMortelli
