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