Ok there are quite a few reasons for my name.

-It describes how i TRY to play starcraft although most people will tell you i play the opposite way (get really excited and try to fuck my opponent before he is ready for it instead of taking my time building up an advantage than gently inserting my army into his base)

- I noticed that there is a forGG and a GGplay but no Foreplay.

- I like how it sounds, especially with a clan tag on it.

Hrm...

My original name was QuiKSilveR (if some of you may remember me by that name). It's my current WGT user name... I had a surfboard with a bunch of QuiKSilveR stickers, and I loved the design for their logos so much. Besides, the name was easy to chop, so I could use QuiK etc...

My user name on TL is Amber[LighT] because in 2004 when I joined light I didn't like the way QuiK or QuiKSilveR looked with the tag, and I wanted to move away. I was listening to the 311 song, "Amber" and back then it was one of my favorite songs, so I started using it, "Amber[LighT]". It looked and sounded pretty cool and calming so I rolled with it. In 2005 when I registered here I didn't use Amber[LighT] at first... (I think!!!) but I eventually had the name-change to Amber instead of QuiKSilveR because back then a lot of TL members did not really like me, so I didn't want the name to follow here

.

Now my actual gamer-tag has been CuDi for the past couple of years. When I "came back" to BW I didn't return to LighT, but instead joined another team. I wanted it to be like a fresh start, so I used the name CuDi since it's got a cool ring to it, and it's short and simple. I just like how it looks... and if I want to extend it I can use other names like CuDDerZ KCuDi etc... besides Scott "Kid CuDi" Mescudi is a pretty cool rapper.

By the way if it was up to me I would change my TL handle to CuDi or something close, but the mods feel no one will know me since I've made such an obvious impression as "Amber[LighT]" but I'm cool with holding this tag... kinda like a keep-sake of my BW history.

Eti is short for Etienne, which is my real name.

Just add the tag 307. We all had our real name in the ID but everyone had such short names (Bill, Chris, Jimmy, Steve, etc.) so I shorten mine

Mine comes from an old PSX series called Suikoden. (Specifically Suikoden II).

There is a part in the game where you come to a Kingdom that has both a Red Knight Platoon and a Blue Knight Platoon. The leader of the Red Knights was named Camus. I took the name and changed it up a bit so that I was sure it would not be taken wherever I went with it. (First used it in Eve Online and Camus was taken there)

I created my nickname back when I first started using the internet around 2000 or so. I was really young back then and I was a fan of action movies. Mission Impossible 2 was just in cinemas at the time, so I took the name of the main actor Tom Cruise. Then I combined it with Phoenix, which is my most favourite mythological creature. Hence, Tom Phoenix was born.

Even though I no longer like action movies or Tom Cruise even nearly as much as I did back then, the name stuck with me and I have been using it as an internet identity/second name/pen name ever since.

Long long ago I was playing some simple race game for which I needed something.
I thought it would be fun to use something car related and as I had a lot of cards with all different cars and their specs I started looking through them. There were a couple options but ultimately I settled on this really great looking car (imo), the Rolls Roys Silver Ghost.

Since silver implies second best and I was obviously THE best the alteration to Golden Ghost was quickly made. I have used it ever since.

My brother was a big RC car freak during my middle school years and one day I saw a sticker on the TV called Team Tekin, so I decided to steal the name tekin since I needed a new nickname while I playing cs.

I was playing Ragnarok Online and had already used my most common ID, Alaki, for my assassin. So when I went to make my wizard I needed a new name. I came up with Zortch because I like to think that lightning makes that sound when it hits something haha. Then my wizard because my main and so I stuck with that ID ^^.

I have had several in the past, but when I picked up Halo to play with some friends, I needed a new name. I randomly picked three letters that were adjacent to each other on the on-screen keyboard... felt like I needed a bit more, and added a '1'.

Look what I mean about the letters being adjacent on the Halo keyboard:
