-TNF-The Rocket 0 Posted November 12, 2002 I got my nickname form an accident. Well it was 99/00 new year well it was still 1999 and I got a firework in my face and got blind Well only 14% blind on my left eye well it gave me headache first 3 month I guess or maybe longer anyway I couldnt play anything cause it did hurt extremly but its over now I'm still blind but I can at least play games I tryed my aimingskills about 2 weeks after the accident but the result was headache cause I had the aimingthing near my eye. Now I dont get headache when I get something near my eye but I havent tested my aimingsskills and I'm not sure that I can join the army, at least I will have to try if they allow me and if I can aim good then I probably will join the army Anyway from what did u guys got ur nicknames?

Major Fubar 0 Posted November 12, 2002 I wanted to be just plain Fubar (F**ked Up Beyond All Recognition), but it was already taken. So I just stuck the highest rank I could think of in front of it.

Assault (CAN) 1 Posted November 12, 2002 My nick came from my days of playing DF2. My original nick was 'Canadian', that was the nick I used when I was sniping. When I wanted to do more fun stuff in DF2 (ie:assaulting) I wanted a different nick so that my kills vs. deaths score would not be affected in my original nick. So I came up with Assault (for assaulting, plus it sounds kinda cool.) and (CAN) for my original nick, 'Canadian'. So there you have it. Tyler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

advocatexxx 0 Posted November 12, 2002 I originally got the idea from the movie Devil's Advocate, although I realized that exact name would be too common and clear, so I just chose advocate. "xxx" is because during the sign-up process here the name "advocate" was apparently already taken. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
