Player Names

[Polarite]

My old nickname from 1996 was =Beast=[Isdn-K] later used Boozeman aka Booze.

Can't remember when i started to use Polarite but it was before the year 2000, i think ....

[Efess]

well, used to go by kamikaze wayy back b4 2000. I used to play bomberman (awesome game) w/ friends, and they would call me that. I wanted something more unique so at the time I was into genesis, and was playing phantasy star 4. Efess was such a unique technique, and it sounded kind of coo so I took it. Kinda gay explaining it now, but w/e.

nonesense! The whole reason I started this thread is so I could indulge in great stories like these

[Zop]

When I needed to decide on a quake handle, I looked around for inspiration, and I saw the Game Genie for the NES on the TV. I memorized this code I found "ZIPZOP" for a game, and decided to use part of that. Nine years later, and I still use it for Quake.

[Phenom]

I switched to Phenom a while back because everyone thought I was "The Programming R00k" or "Intertex R00k" or "CA R00k" and eventually I ran in to R00k face to face and so I switched to Phenom which stands for a few things.

[Net-Tyme]

Started with Player. Then some guy named HellOnWh33ls told me to create a name because there were to many damn players playing Came up with Peaches because of these burly player models. Just thought of Little John who ended up being over 6 ft and wasn't little at all. Also because Royal Assasin was using For King and Country.. And I made a for Pches n Cream. Sorry.. He was a P.I.T.A. back then! Changed it to P3ach3s then just Pchs.. with a Kiss my Fuzzy Ass Bind. Had numerous names including Vintage,Spaz,Moi, and P.I.T.A. because that is a name my mom still yells at me today The only thing that changed is.. It Used to be.. Your SUCH a PAIN IN THE ASS.. to Your STILL A PAIN IN THE ASS. At first I preferred playing as a male.. Off My Skirt didn't come in until later Marlins or DarkZone era. Net-Tyme came into play with my daughters name of KidzTyme and at first wasn't intended for Quake. It was to offer my family/friends a place to keep in touch with each other, Post personal pics, etc. Complain about the government.. in other words to get off my damn phone!!! Quake came into play and they weren't that savvy to learn a board. When I change my name or I see someone under a different name I make the assumption that everyone knows they just want to play. We all have our quiet days.

[L3ftisM]

hey, i just remembered another one of my old names...hahha..
2
I came up with that name during a time when everyone was going crazy with all their elaborate name makers and such... i wanted something simple, lol

[Cherrie]

Well, mine is pretty self-explanatory. When I started playing Quake in late '98 early '99 I was not only new to Quake, but to any and all computer games. Prior to moving in with my then boyfriend I had never touched a computer outside of school, much less played games on one. I chose Cherrie not only because I was a newb, but because I am a redhead.

Also, to nineteen year old me it sounded provocative and sexy. Twenty-seven year old me is a little tired of it and the ever present "I popped her Cherrie", but hey, I'm Cherrie, what can I do.

Toyo won't tell you but his name comes from his car, he drives a beautiful Toyota MR2.

I own a Toyota. It's used, 64,000 Km and I only had to repair it twice! It's year is somewhere in 84 (can't remember off the top of my head). I love Toyotas!

[Bank]

For ages I used Comiclez, a jumble of letters that happened to make somewhat of a word. About a year ago, I decided I wanted a fresh start, a name that was pronouncable and memorable. I posted on Quake Terminus as Bank. It has no meaning, no story, and no significance aside from being simple, cool, and easy to remember.
