I feel less nerdy seeing as I'm not the only one who has opened a dictionary or thesaurus searching for an alias. I think there is about a three month period in any nerds life where anythng Latin is cool. After that and you realize how much of a tool you are. I have a friend who I would not describe as creative. Every one of his names is something he could see from his desk at the time. I thought him using the name DentyneIce made it obvious that he did that...then he made the name Lamp'. He needed the punctuation because Lamp was taken. Guess he's not the only one guilty of looking around the room for a name ; ) Maybe that's what  BackHo did! | ||

As in the names aren't RTS-like, it's just the korean progamers use names like that. At this rate, the future will have advice columns in fashion magazines for picking a screen name. Wow considering superiorwolf's age that actually makes a lot of sense now . | ||

If your goal is to be a "f33red k0r34n z3rg" then may I direct you to the guide from this very website: "how to become a f33red k0r34n z3rg on wcg/wsl". Step 1 of this guide is picking a name. step 1) make a user name. i recommend picking a noun and then adding zerg at the end of it. EX: AfricaZerg remember, you have to look convincing so that your opponent will fear of playing you. so, pick a random noun. the more stupid you look, the more skilled you we be percieved of having. EX: TamponZerg | ||

I should add that the same applies to adding -toss at the end. For example PadToss. Note that it is also acceptable to use 'toss-' if you play Terran. :D | ||

Either that or random made-up names (ala Torgal) or cool obscure monsters from various games/realms, like Braxat or something. Meh. | ||

Savior Paper Piano Bisu It also helps to have a nice strong connotation associated with the literal word that is your name, but it's obviously not necessary Bad names: basically violate the two rules above, with some exceptions. Some names just don't sound cool (eg. Movie) | ||
