This is the timeline of the nick zogo: Wicked -> zli (serbian for evil), then zlee, then just a simple z, then occasionally zogoscope, and finally zogo.

It doesn't mean anything. I'm not really evil.

Yeah right...

The story of my nick comes when i first started using irc. At first my nick was Hl0d but one day when i didn't know about irc much my brother came to fix it up for me and he set the nick knedl and since then i'm knedl that's about 5 or 6 years ago.

Greetings knedl.

my nick comes from a long time ago...a lot of years ago(i think 8-10) i joined my first online community, in a net cafe, www.lego.com. but, because i didn't have internet at my home, my father at his workplace made me a nick on lego.com, tweety_boy or smth like that . So, since then, my nick remained tweety. i have changed my nick several times, but i like tw33ty the most

My alias comes from an inside joke. When i was about 17 my friend had his bacheloer party and they ordered strippers (off the internet, no joke.) and ever since I've been known as Mr. TwentyTwo, so I have just kind of adopted that as my permanent alias

"Bugs" was my great-great-uncle's nickname.
"42" is the Ultimate Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything. (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is my favorite book)

najum is my real name.

Everyone calls me Toni, which is shortened from Driton (my real name) and im a BIG fan of Inter F.C. so i connected the two and VOILA...TonInter

I remember k-rod!

Anyway, nighthawk comes from the plane F117-nighthawk, since my grandfather was one of the engineers who designed the plane!

But I can't use the nick in counter strike because of the pistol named the Nighthawk. Grrr.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-117_Nigh ... bat_losses

One F-117 has been lost in combat, to Serbian/Yugoslav forces. On March 27, 1999, during the Kosovo War, the 3rd Battalion of the 250th Missile Brigade, equipped with the Isayev S-125 'Neva-M' (NATO designation SA-3 'Goa'), downed F-117A, serial number 82-806, with a liquid-fuelled Neva missile. According to Wesley Clark and other NATO generals, Yugoslav air defences tracked F-117s with old Russian radars operating on long wavelengths. This, combined with the loss of stealth when the jets got wet or opened their bomb bays, made them highly visible on radar screens.

Actually, the rumor was that the serbian air defense never detected it - they were too drunk and they just shot randomly. Good old 1999..

I know other story. The Serbian guys told the USA solders:

Sorry, we didn't know you're invisible for our radars!

LOL

Jeez, everyone else's nickname has such awesome and unique origins... mine's just a twisted thing between a Sesame Street character and a play on my last name.

Growl... I may change it soon. On IRC and whatnot I'm going as IntelInside now. (Yes... I know... people are deeprooted in their preference for processors, it's just that I wanted to use something everyone knows about, so PLEASE don't go on about how much better AMD is)

Hm.. My name isn't very big.

ML: my initials of my real name
Cloud: From Final Fantasy VII

Mlcloud.

Fun? >.<

it's from some movie, don't remember which. liked it : Man+Deal

My nick's beginnings lie back in much darker times, in much darker places, back in the horrible, terrible days when i was using aol 2.5 and roaming the then semi-cohesive free form fantasy role playing world of Rhydin. I have played this character ever since in various FFRPG channels, AD&D games, MMORPGs, and even a LARP or two. I've managed to maintain a somewhat continuous storyline following Will's long life from birth as a human, to his transformation into a vampire at the age of 25, and then his metamorphasis into his current form of a nearly omnipotent shapeshifter (because it's my channel damnit!). Will currently owns and operates the #BlackPantherInn on irc.razor-irc.net Anybody who feels so inclined is welcome to join us there for some random FFRPGing.

Ever seen "Pinky & The Brain" ? :)

If yes - you already know where my nickname comes from.
If not - ... well, I'd have to explain ...

"Pinky & The Brain" is a cartoon that I used to watch when I was like ... 12 or 13. It's about 2 mice locked in a laboratory for experiments. The first one(The Brain) is an evil genius who wants to take over the world and the second one(Pinky) has as much brain as a mushroom could have(rofl) and says "NARF!" quote a lot. So, when I got on IRC for the first time I had to think of a nickname to use and I remembered that cartoon...

After 5 years on IRC, I still haven't changed it. :)
