it was a long long time ago when we, like 12 year old kids, wanted to start our own serious gaming organization :D. so i basically wanted to think of a really cool nickname :D

I was a wc3 player back then and I thought a bit of the names like Grubby, ToD, FoV - none of them made sense but instead just sounded cool. So I wanted to follow the same logic and spent like a week trying to come up with something random that has no meaning but sounds cool. So I came to the conclusion that "Losso" is simple, looks cool and sounds cool and got it to be my nickname. Been regretting that decision ever since. But a lot of people now know me by that name so I can't really change it >_>

And on top of it, later I found out that "Losso" is an actual portugese name.

I watched the anime Melody of Oblivion, the vehicles they rode were called Aiba-Machines, in one of the episodes it mentions its name as Monokeros, which basically means unicorn. If you've watched the anime you would agree on how awesome they were and would never question the greatness of my name.

when i first had to make a nickname for myself i was playing advance wars on a gameboy advance.

The first five letters i randomly entered were "badel".

Then i started playing war3 and afterwards wow and stuck to that name. When i came off my WoW addiction i started playing warcraft 3 a bit more seriously and after a while i was losing all the time to undead that i thought it was so overpowered i should play it. But seeing as i was a smart little tiger, i wanted to create a new account as my night elf account was around 30% win percentage(which is horrible horrible horrible).

Then when it came to the nickname creation screen i was listening to radiohead while spamming with my mouse. Combining the two led to my name.

(there is also a story after this about why i switched to "Kitten[twR]" at one point, but i'll take that one to my grave with me)

I think my nick was WiNdFoRcE or something like that when i started playing wc3 (like the bow in d2) - i think i was 14 - and after a very long (like 1 hour) game gagainst DarK.PaNZeN in which i luckily won at the end after i already thought i had no chances left i decided to change my nickname to remember that game.

My name is the name of a song I like from the band A Perfect Circle. Except when I first used it for an account I didn't realize I spelled it wrong (the correct spelling is Magdalena, 4 for As). When I finally realized it was wrong, it didn't matter. I ended up with something unique and it always works

Snotboogie's dead body is the first character you ever see in The Wire, aka the greatest television series ever made. His death sparks a conversation that would show the tone and flavour of the rest of the series.

What is the history behind SchreI then?

My idea is stolen from a pen and paper RPG (Shadowrun) character.

Like 10 years ago I just opened my English dictionary at a random page and saw "snowbird".

Translation was: slang for someone who does cocaine.

It was my gangsta rap phase so I thought I could be cool like Snoop with that ID.

Later I found out that nobody seems to use/know that slang and people rather think of old people going south to wither and die?

lol MrHoon - the NazgulRider !

my original ID was always chopsuey, but when I wanted to register it on TL, it was already taken. The story behind disciple thou is from I think 7 or 8 years ago when I was a gosu HOMM3 player and played every weekend with some friends of mine. Then another TBS came out - Disciples 2, and I switched to it, because I found it so much more fun. My buddies were not into the game, so everytime we played HOMM3 my ID was disciple to annoy them.

To think about it, disciple as a word sounds great and I like it, but it always rises the question "disciple of what?" . I'm not religious and my discipline is quite awful, so it still doesnt make any sense, but I used this ID for long enough to prefer it over my original ID

I was 11 or 12 and trying to come up with a nice-sounding original name for my Diablo character. Turns out Gann is taken in just about everything (so much for original) so I put a 1 after it on forums, and another syllable after it in games where I can't use numbers.
