I'm wondering where many more notable SC2 players have gotten their names...

I'm mostly curious about:
DeMusliM (apparently his original bnet WC3 name was DeMusliMhobo or something t.t)
CauthonLuck
TheLittleOne
White-Ra

Any of these players care to shed some light?

Demuslim and thelittleone are self explanatory :o

I thought it had to do with what Nazgul and his team/clan at the time said to him at that one LAN. Pretty sure there's a thread about it.

They signed a tshirt for him with something along the lines of "Even small ones can accomplish big things".

This is all IIRC.

So one thing I must know, what's with the ID?

Made the nick because it looked cool, and at the time I saw Muslims as boxers such as Muhammad Ali - I was very young, the ladder name stuck - I do plan on changing it, dunno what to - as I have been invited to events with the demand to change it, or excluded entirely because of it.

there you go, from British open (tournament) thread

I guess it means "Not MusliM" you know "de" for being a prefix of not.


lol at the guy for beating me with my assumptions
I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a

CauthonLuck is from the Wheel of Time series. There's a character called Mat Cauthon who is ridiculously lucky.

The T-Shirt story is independent from the nickname, however by coincidence it has a striking similarity.
It was basically like this, we both shared one account in Supreme Commander at start and as we bought a 2nd copy we thought it would be nice if we had similar nicknames. At start it was TheBigBrother and TheLittleBrother but there was a clan called The Big Brothers already and I wanted to avoid any confusion with them, so we changed it a bit.

So TheBigOne, any plans of moving from Supreme Commander to SC 2: BTL?

Ah, ok - story was just kinda compelling and fitting that I was sure that had to be it. :p

I can imagine demuslims name could offend some - I think he should change it (doesn't offend me but I don't see the point in potentially causing issues)

You mean totally independent as in he didn't go by that nickname yet? Because then I know why Nazgul is so good, he can predict the future!

TBO and TLO, I like it One should always pay attention to the acronyms which can be made from your nickname.

It's unbelievably ridiculously that DeMuslim's name could offend anyone.

"Not Muslim" oooooh it's got the word muslim in it, can't say that!


Would any other religion care if his name was DeTHEIRRELIGION? Would anyone at all care?
Don't you see how the prohibition of the word causes more issues than the word itself?

Maybe I should rename myself "DeJew" and since I'm german it's even more offending to people
