A friend of mine who introduced me to Elma years ago had named himself "krazy". I told him that he had spelt it wrong.. but he just didn't care.
Later when he gave me copy of game I just couldn't resist and entered "Crazy", since that was the way of spelling it.

During the years i've grown up (kinda) but still, Crazy has become a part of me. I'm the Elma "Crazy", teh mega häylö Image

Why Kadude?

Post by Kadude »

Well, I was playing runescape, and I thought of the nick: "Kickassdude" but it was too long i think, so I shortened it down to Kadude. I have used that nick in every game till now !
And on norwegian LANs I use the nick "Kongen"..(king on english)
My brother used to call him self that some while ago. Then it went on my brains so I kept saying that I was Kongen, so more and more ppl have sorta "given up"(They denied me for being konge) so they started calling me that.

Blind is a skateboard company but, it wasn't for that that he called himself like this !

The nick just popped when he was searching for a nick :?

H8 is only a nick i came up with playing planetarion :roll: when i was 12 or something. Inspired by the only well known Henrik ( Henry in english) in the history i just took the initials of Henry the eight. Not really a role-model for me :oops: , he is nevertheless a "great" 8O Henry . i now partly regret the selection of nickname, because of the spelling problems ( "Height", "Hate" etc. :? ). i myself only spell the letters: H,eight.
That was my short :lol: story. :D

Dynamo was also the name of a bad guy in "The running man" with Arnold Schwarzenegger in the role of Ben Richards... Dynamo was a big guy ( ~6ft 00 ; ~280 pounds ) who threw electricity.

I thought you took it from there :D

My first nick was mbazyle and I got that from taking the first letter from my first name and the frist 6 letters from my last name. However, i realized it wa hard to say, so I just changed it to a messed up version of my frist name "Mike", so my nick is now MiEkk.

hmm i think I told tis story once before in the old forum but couldnt find it...so anyway, its nice remembering old imes so I tell it again =P

It was like 1996 or sumthing.. when me and my friends were as most active with the skateboarding thing... None of us had a nickname.. but we thought it would be so cool.. then one day we decided to come up with some theme for the nicknames and the hiphop-theme just seemed kinda funny.

I came up with Poppa J after hearing this swedish toaster Papa Dee on the radio. I changed it a bit to sound more hiphop... and of course, the J stands for Jonas wich is my real name..

My other friends came up with names like G-rock (by the way the guy who intoduced Across to me in 98 ).. McDed (latr changed his nick to tobak)... Dj Slim (now knowns as Baabon...

Thats the story once again.. sorry if youve read it before... but at least I had a good time remembering.. :)

You'll be glad I've always "spoken your nick in my head" as H-eight then, I've never even thought of the "Hate" possibility ;)

Pertti is a finnish name, i dont know why i chose it anyway, as its not my real name either.

My real nick is Euronymous, which is some god of death or something. quite l337 nick, but i like it. better than sUpErKiLlEr!1!1 My former nick ohu is becouse many people suddenly started calling me ohu, reason is still unknown.

I know it's an old thread, but honestly... I don't care :P

Kuj2 - Kuj is easy to write with one hand. Besides, I was once called 'kujon' (hope no Polish guy reads this :P), and even though that's not a very kind nick, I wanted to save something off it. Then I added 2 because Kuj itself has already existed as a mail login, and because Kuj itself sounds pretty stupid. My other nick can be found in my every post, it's YummyYuck and it's a combination of two opposite meanings (and two colors that, worn together, make you look like an idiot :D). I placed red for tomato soup (yummy!) and green for spinach (yuck, though I like spinach - that's just stereotypical bad food). I also use a sign in my levels - the two curvy arrows with different directions and Y Y inside, for ROTATE and YummyYuck - to play some of my tracks and compete a bit with others visit http://moposite.com/mopolauta/viewtopic.php?t=4567
So if you ever find a replay with mysterious YY, you will know that it's mine ;)

Tm found me like that for a good example

Smashed keyboard with left hand fingers when joining irc/#across for the first time, and the result was weq. Added Z from Zamppe, which I have used in every other game before elma and every game after elma, so why the hell did I ever choose Zweq, I don't know. Thought many times changing nick to Zamppe for elma too, but I think after all it's dumb and wouldn't work at all.
