My original nick was Nightshade2050, as Nightshade was taken and 2050 is (for some odd reason) the year I thought at one point I was likely to die. I chose Nightshade because of a character in a book I read once. I had no idea it was a flowering plant, and once that was pointed out to me, I tried to save inter-face by saying that it was a "lethal herb", since the only thing I did know about nightshade was that it was poisonous. Yes, I am a moron at times.

Memphis was the original ancient capital city of Egypt.

I chose mancubus cuz it is a character out of Doom and for no particular reason. The big fat fuck with rocket launchers for arms.

I use different nicks on different forums and don't stick with one. It would be interesting to know why Doombrian chose that particular name, maybe it's because he is a fucking idiot.

I was registering a Hotmail account, and "duffman" was taken. It suggested "duffman91." Since "91" repeated in personal life, I kept it. (Birth year of family member, home address, school PIN, etc)

Some German kid is using "duffman91" now....

eeyy plained is an alt ey

my original nick was StepbacK ,that was derived from never using a reverse key.

i played alot alot of q3 demo and later reg q3 under that nick at places like bob barkers showcase showdown and the other popular ffa servers at the time.

then i found this place and lurked awhile and regged under my StepBacK nick and made a few typical-of-me posts that weren't that well received lol, they included lawnmower pics and stuff

then later when i finally figured out how to play with the members here i played my first time with players like Nightshade and xed, xed did me the courtesy of emailing me a config cuz it was obvious i was struggling with ca lol

even tho i was a noob i did ok and got flamed in game so i re-regged under the plained nick (because steppie was so ill recieved) and made my first plained post in r&r to discuss the upsetizm

i remember nightshade posted and he was cool about it and yourgramps flamed my nick!

i have all the posts and screenshots somewhere on my old mac hehe
it is about time!

Lars is short for Larson my last name and the 63 because there were 62 other Lars ahead of me when I chose the nick. Next year, March 14th I can say I use it because that is how old I am. Carry on

Used a different nick here. Forums took a massive shit so made a new account to continue posting after that crash.

Looked around on my desk to come up with a quick name and found a guitar pick with the words Silicone Milk printed in black on white.

way back when i started playing q3 i wanted a name that was simple yet unique. Grandpa Stu was the first thing that popped into my head and it seemed to fit the criteria perfectly. i've been asked on several occasions if it refers to the grandpa from rugrats. no. it does not.

But of course, wancubus! In Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (my chosen martial art), those are the three options you have when caught in a submission. Tap - tap out and indicate your submission. Nap - Don't tap and go to sleep (only applies to chokes). Snap - The sound you hear when caught in a joint lock and don't take option 1 in time. :D
