At one point I decided to change nickname for some reason. So I went for "Inconplete". I felt somewhat clever, because the "n" is an incomplete "m". So in part it played to me thinking I'm a fuckup, and in part it symbolized the meaning of the nick.
However, after being corrected on my grammatical error a few times too many (ranging from "it's written with an m you dumb retard" to "Nice nick and all, but I think you misspelled it"), I grew tired of explaining it and just went for Incomplete.
I remember the controversy when you switched to Heaven , although pretty sure you were always referred to as Inco :p

My real name is Dirk and one girl from school always called me dörk, another guy from my class switched that to drök which can be written as droek as well, i thought this could be my online nickname. However, i added a y at the end and entered our school IRC-channel and one idiot really asked me why i would call myself a doctor?! After laughing for some time i ended up shorten the nick from droeky to oeky (omg, when i think about it, its been 20 or 21 years from now when i decided to go with this nickname... good ol days)
I love stories about bad cops. The guy who played Jim Raynor went on to play a good cop who had a bad partner. The movie was filmed in and around the burger/shake/french fry dive that was a prime high school hang out for me.
I had a strange fixation with phoenixes at the time so of course it had to be inserted into online usernames. That was married to my edgy interest in "void" as well, giving birth to this awkward name. In retrospect this was a terrible ID. It's not witty, funny, personal or a Bnet ID. It's just jamming and bashing together together two things I happened to like at the time. Oh, and if anyone was ever curious, it has nothing to do with Phoenixes or Void Rays in SC2.

I for one am glad it has nothing to do with SC2. ^_._^

Dörk is my new favourite word! Tell that girl I love it!

What is the story of your quote?
Well DO share yours... Mine is simple. But I can only tell you, if you join the NHFFA Discord and swear to secrecy. Otherwise if I tell you I must end you.
Falling- For myself, I've never liked names that had random letters and numbers and wanted a simple name that would be unlikely to be picked. It was somewhat similar to the fake name I created for emails etc (I'd put absolutely no personal information online prior to Facebook.) Also, there was a band called Falling Up around the same time. Or maybe it was from Shel Silverstein's book on poetry by the same name. I don't know anymore.
Passafist (my iccup/ gamer tag). An obscure band, but I liked the irony in the misspelling. Also, my ancestry is heavily rooted in pacifism, so I enjoyed the multiple layers of irony as I played war games.
29 fps: I used to play counterstrike on a shitty computer, so I only had 29 frames per second while others had 60. It was hard to play. Same problem when I played Overwatch. Life changed completely after getting a new computer, but the nickname stayed.

I really liked Zeratul character when I first picked up a game - invisible ninja, that one shots pretty much anything. So I just shortened it for an easier pronunciation.
It was an ugly old shirt I found in my room during my senior year of high school. I had it signed by my favorite band. I wore it until it literally became rags.
RIP Hoby 2000 Shirt. You were good to me. May your legacy forever live on in my username....

I think I got the idea from Bisudagger's name and was like, well if he can have Bisu in his name, surely I can have FlaSh in my name. Yeah... if only FlaShFTW was anywhere near as cool as Bisudagger. Welp, here we are 10 years later, and my name is still awful imo. No one will ever let me change it either.
I always knew you were a fangirl of mine. Anyway, you did it wrong. Acceptable names would have been FlashGod or BisuFlasher.
