POKRISHKA's post in "Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory" Which was kind of off-topic however gave me an idea....

Where did everyone get there name from..? Like Pencil where did that come from. Manowar, TeTchro, Tomato, Zodiak, Midknight, etc.

Anyways I will tell you the story of socks.

Quite a while back Me, TeTchro and CheeSe had a forum. Called TeTchro and Cheese's forums. So anyways My username was Kdsrocks. That was my initials and rocks, because that is so true! So anyways Yellowhair I think it was always read it as Kid Socks. So later TeTchro started calling me Socks, Socky, and other Sock related names. And that is the story behind Socks.

So what are other people's storys?

Lol, Socks. Nice that you're interested. However, funny thing is there was already a topic about that a long time ago. Check it out, 'tis a bit outdated, but still interesting. Maybe some people can post where there's came from.

Mine, I was just thinking of a stupid alias to use in games like Jedi Knight II, Quake 3 Arena and Unreal Tournament ('99). At the same time I needed a new little username for AIM, so I used "my broken pencil" which translated to "broken_pencil" in games (or "broken_penc!L" which was dull). Eventually when I started Rune in October it was "penc!L" for a day or two, then by the time I start playing in the WHY! server I began to use only "Pencil" and then.... well..... here it is. Yeah. Not because I write long messages. I write these because I type fast and legible and have much to say most of the time. Apologies for my good sentence structure and easy readability in posts. Blech.

P.S. Manowar's name does NOT come from the band or the jellyfish. However, he'd make a really good dangerous portuguese jellyfish... even though he's only dangerous in bed, isn't even portuguese (I am though!) and is slightly gooier than a jellyfish.

Oh - real interesting topic for such talk-liker like me . Here`s my story:

Ones apon a time... My surname is Inkin (without jokes), by the way name - Alex. It is sounds like Shinkin. And shina = wheel in russian. Someone called me such and I thought that POKRISHKA will be better than SHINA (girl`s name, isn`t it?). For those who still don`t know - pokrishka = wheel cover . Story of my avatar is the same. It will be interesting for me to hear stories about avatars too.

my name is after a german underground band. you can visit their page: www.fleischhaus.de :P

Well, here`s my story about how did I get into Low Caliber:

I love Middle ages very much. History is my hobby. I am a BIG gamer - PC games is my hobby too. So when my friend told me that there is a game with fights on medieval weapons I understood that it will be one of my favorite games. I purchased it and complite it 4 times on Hard level. I played it in PC clubs with my friend. I was such a n(o )( o)b that time. Then it`s became too old for PC clubs (f**k `em). I stuck for a long time cause I thought that I cant play with my slow net. But last year I changed my school to a liceum (f**k it). There was nice dude in my class - we bacame a best friends. He got 1 mbit/s net. So I start to play from his PC about 2-3 months ago (he prefers Warcraft III so we played our games a lot, but I am still thinking that Warcraft II is better than third one). Then I found a poland friend who told me about Low Caliber Arena. After a month on Low Caliber came Kyr0xx0r and hardly kicked my ass. In pauses between kicking my poor butt he told me about Low Caliber Club. Then I came here and register in forum. I thought that members are godlike and was afraid even to tlk with them in forum untill I meat r0x again. He didnt kick my backside as hardly as he did last time so I thought that I am not the worst player. Then I start to talk in forum and plaay a lot here. I am still thinking that it is the best server and playing on another only to persuade other players to play on LCA.

He need to change make up . Good skin, but I prefer hammer sark - because of his HEAVY armor.

its based on the dark viking model

Haha, Licker! Of course, we who have played and beat Resident Evil 2 well over 5 times in their life would immediately recognize that name and expect that's where you got it from . Funny, though, that it is true. Lickers own .

By the way, a skin well done, Licker. If only we could skin the [summonable] goblin the same exact way and get it to do a snowbeast-style pounce on people... that there would be a faithful replication of the RE2 licker.

Here`s one idea - why dont you make gametype with some monster hunting? I guess it will be nice to fight humans against monsters

haha i like your ideas pencil, pokrishka, u could be onto something... we could make one combining the models im sure, all we would have to do after that is skin it , or peel it haha

LOL! Is there nothing better than cheesy joke like that? It actually made me laugh; well done, Licker.

By the way, Pokrishka, just bind a key to summon a ton of active sarks and goblins and dwarves and such... they're plenty fun for monster hunting... as long as you ghost, then summon then disappear before they can spot you so you can leave the post and then hunt. If that makes it too easy, make some other kid do it .

Even though most already know how I got my name, here's the story again:

One night I just couldn't sleep and I eventually starting thinking about video games. Eventually I started thinking of a new name. (Old ones being Rocky and... Heh.. "Killer" ... "Killer" I used when I was younger. No imagination...) Anyways, the name "TeTchro" just popped into my head. I was thinking about that name for almost a week and decided to spell it "Tetchro". I added the second capital "T" almost a year ago now. It's unique, so I've countinued to use it. This is my 5th year using this name, and nobody's copied me or anything. So when you see the name "TeTchro", it's me.

Oh, by the way. Two days ago last year I became a peregrine of LCC.

No one has copied you eh. *Hides "TeTchro" name tags made for self* So anyways haha. ummm.... I was gonna say something but now I forget but eh... cool name.

Hey Lick',

Here's a goblin player model that you can use and reskin with yours. Then we can talk to zodiak for help on the animations, heh. It'd be wicked.

Hey Pencil. You mean that I can summon monsters in a ghost mode? Like a cheat Summon Goblin or something like that? By the way - POKRISHKA is the my nick for all time - I have never change it. Only sometimes in C-S when we were playing with my friend. He was John Wayne (I don`t know who it was, just remember Shanghay Noon - Jacky was called John Wayne there) - he was fighting with Desert Eagle. And I was James Bond - with 1-1 (in C-S 1.5). Stupid nicks but it was funny cause we were playing with noobs and when we killed somebody we said - bravo mr. Bond or bravo mr.Wayne. We were always called each other mr. It was funny that time. Ain`t we stupid?

Lord Wintermoon is one of my characters, I wrote about his adventures long before I found out about RUNE. It made a nickname, as I was fascinated by Ultima Online, where I became Lord Wintermoon.

As I discovered RUNE, I had to decide for a nickname and even, as my nickname everywhere else is Badfinger (which is another story), I chose Lord Wintermoon, because it fits better in the game
