My last name is Chang, and my friend Eric back in 9th grade started calling me Changsta all the time. Then is became my SSBM alias and ppl love calling me that at every tournament I went to back then lol. Nowadays, I'm introduced to people as just Chang as opposed to David (my first name duh).

Well, my full name is Joseph Carlson IV, hence jcarlsoniv...

When I was trying to think of a tag for in game, I had to make a somewhat badass creative name. I used to use the tag Joseith (Hose + A + Ith), but everyone pronounced it as Jo-seeth. So I ended up just taking the last five letters of my TL tag, and thus Soniv was born.

stiga is a big company for everything table-tennis related

my first ping pong paddle was a stiga tornado

Story behind MY ID:

I was in religions of the world class in 8th grade (Private school in Peru if anyone wonders why would anyone learn that in 8th grade)

and we were talking about animism and they quoted Native Americans as an example for it...
and the was this story about Crazy Horse and the battle of Little BigHorn...

I just thought the guy was a baddass and me being an 8th grader thought putting numbers and stuff on it would make it look cooler. voilá Cr4zyH0r5e.

I had many names through the ages and this particular one was created when I was 18 years old, as a counter part to its predecessors, deathknight, sniper and WaRcRoW (which was pretty sweet I guess, it somehow looks like a bird). We had to write a homage to goethes faust, a piece of classical tragedy, in my last year at school in the german classes. So I named my protagonist Tufas, which actually is a anagram for Faust.

Pretty clever, ain't I ?

And it also is a anagram for "sauft" which is german for "(he/she/it) drinks" ... most of the times connected with drinking alcohol.

I was a wee lad of about 12 or so...

I joined the clan ][)ark~

I thought zerglings were cool. I switched it to ZaplinG because it sounded even cooler.

My ID was ][)ark~ZaplinG

Then I switched to just ZaplinG.

Then I switched for a long while to EnorD (drone backwards)

Now I use either GnilpaZ, Oyster, or Jurassick when I play Dota

The Ghost from Starcraft is my favorite unit, and has been ever since my cousins first introduced me to the game way way back when (Starcraft 64 for the lulz). I've always held a strong favoritism for SC even though I've never played it competitively even once, so Ghost is always my preferred alias

and then the number because I was around in the dinosaur age of the internet whne all you did for a screen-name was type something you liked/said something about/was funny and then just threw a bunch of random-as-shit numbers behind because some ass-hat always had your name first >:O
Though this particular number holds special personal significance to me, and is always part of my aliases if I have to add to them.

First Post.

My original name was just Zero, in tribute to many Zero anime/game characters that I love. Zero from Megaman first and for most. Zero Enna from Pilot Candidate or Candidate for the Goddess. Finally Zero from Code Geass the most badass alter ego ever. =0

Then I added the dash D to try to be differentiate from other Zeros, you know to be different. The zero was also had another meaning as to have 0 deaths in FPS games such as Counter Strike. Although very hard to do, but I was usually close to it.

As you can see Zero-D in numerical Hexadecimal has another meaning as well, being 0-13 which yet another tribute to my favorite franchise Resident Evil. 0-13 is a code used throughout the franchise.

- UMB-13 (chemical to kill Plant 43)
- UMD-13? (Red Queen code number for the main frame, in tied in with T project and T.A.L.O.S project)
- 0-13 the number specimen of the actual former S.T.A.R.S member and now genetic engineered baby Albert Wesker

so yeah with my one name represents so many things I love and admire thus why the name Zero-D stuck.

I loved to play with bionicles. I still have a few right now.

I used to read Uncle John's Bathroom readers compulsively. They have huge amounts of trivia, on just about every subject. In one of those, they had a story of how H. Vernon Watson found his stage name, Nosmo King. I liked it, so I shortened to Nosmo and started using it.

Please beware the wrath of the mOnion, don't post anything stupid. This thread is his brainchild, and if you abuse his child his eye will be on you. My name was made because I was new to tl and couldn't think of a cool name like the rest of you (<-- ban avoidance).
