Fan Posted February 15, 2001 Share Posted February 15, 2001 Fan is short for BloodFan, which evolved from my old handle in Air Warrior, BreadFan (one of my all-time favorite songs). A buddy in the Relaxed Realism arenas in Air Warrior said he was gonna start calling me BloodFan because I left a trail of blood (mostly my own ) wherever I went. And since CPIDs in AW were limited to 5 characters or under, Fan it was. Fan is also, I understand, a nickname for the devil in either Swedish or Norwegian (neither of which can I speak or understand.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mikey D Posted February 15, 2001 Share Posted February 15, 2001 An annoying supervisor used to call me 'Mikey', which I thought was cute until she got me fired. The 'D' is the initial for my family name which is common in Quebec and South Africa but cannot be pronounced by ANYONE in Boston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gun Dog Posted February 15, 2001 Share Posted February 15, 2001 From my days flying attack helos in the Army (Cobras). Actually, there was another "Gun Dog" in the squadron. He brought his name with him when he transferred in. It must be popular among gun drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KwazyDog Posted February 15, 2001 Share Posted February 15, 2001 Long story...but Ill give you the short version. Years ago I was playing Quake 2 online and needed a nick. My dog was sitting next to me at the time. His name is Max, but I tend to call crazy dog, becuase he really isnt all there, hehe. So CrazyDog was the best I could think of at short noticed. I wanted something a bit different though, so I used KwazyDog, and its kind of stuck since then Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicKevlar Posted February 16, 2001 Share Posted February 16, 2001 Came from an old MST3K episode where they were mocking/creating action hero names for a fictional movie like Steve Tungsten, Max Steel, etc; Vic Kevlar was their choice of their hero. Laughed so hard the wife thought was having a heart attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blenheim Posted February 16, 2001 Share Posted February 16, 2001 The history of my -still young- nickname... Well, its taken from a battle of the War of Spanish Succession fought between British (with Austrian help) against French. The British general, Marlborough, won the title of Duke of Blenheim after crushing the Frenche there. By the way, That general was an ancestor of Winston Churchill, our beloved Prime Minister.

MOS was 71331 Posted February 16, 2001 Share Posted February 16, 2001 It fits. After I attended the Engineer Officer Basic Course at Fort Belvoir, VA, from May to July 1966, I was a certified "Combat Engineer Troop Leader" with MOS (Military Occupational Specialty) 1331. Three weeks and five jumps at the Airborne School at Fort Benning, GA, let me add the prefix 7 for Airborne. After I was made a "Nuclear Weapons Courier Officer" (combat engineer battalions had an ADM [Atomic Demolitions Munitions] platoon), I recall I got a suffix 5, making my final MOS 713315. Nukes aren't appropriate for Combat Mission, so I discarded the suffix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremlin Posted February 16, 2001 Share Posted February 16, 2001 A wartime Warners Bros. cartoon called, iirc, "Gremlins from the Kremlin," which showed a bunch of mischievous gremlins sabotaging a German bomber as a raving Hitler tried to fly it.

The Commissar Posted February 16, 2001 Share Posted February 16, 2001 Unlike the other commissar on this board, my name refers to my childhood hobby: Wargammer 40K Miniature game! The Commissar units were these bad-ass looking guys who had a nasty habbit of shooting routed soldiers. It was a great morale bonus, and they wound up being one of my favorite units in the game. So I thought it would suit me well here, and there ya go! ------------------ "...Every position, every meter of Soviet soil must be defended to the last drop of blood..." - Segment from Order 227 "Not a step back" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PzKfw V Ausf G Posted February 16, 2001 Share Posted February 16, 2001 Ok, so I win the contest for worst nick but here me out before punishing me I'm pretty new to this board and when I registered I thought that all my old nicks wheren't aproperiate for CM... (While playing netrek/paradise 1 million years ago I used Spocko, from the old StarTrek episod and a couple of years later playing Duke3d I used Dr.Dominans (swedish from dominance, get it? ). The reason I chosed the PzKfw nick dates back to a scenario where I got reinforced by a couple of panthers when I was prepared to surrender... Somehow the panthers turned the tide and I was able the win the game... And, they look damn good. The allied tanks ju look plain... but-ugly. Period.

Zenaphobe Posted February 16, 2001 Share Posted February 16, 2001 There was a old arcade game called "Xenaphobe" I liked and I thought it would be funny to turn it into a term describing one who is afraid of Buddhism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Fox Posted February 16, 2001 Share Posted February 16, 2001 Simonides was the poet who wrote the epitaph for the Spartans at Thermopylae. Not as some might think Simon because he was a zealot and I am a member of the CM Jihad Brigade. Fox because I usually play allies and you need the cunning of the fox to win against the king of tigers. It used to be SimonFox but I got bored with that and put in a space for a fresh start.

RokSS Posted February 16, 2001 Share Posted February 16, 2001 My name is a variation on the name of a comic strip character created by me and a friend some 20 years ago called "Sgt Rocksoff: the only real hero". My favorite episode was when Sgt Rocksoff straps a mine to the top of his helmet and crawls through the blood and muck and gunfire across the battlefield to intercept the dreaded "haunted ubertank of the SS!". Of course the massive tank runs directly over him and explodes into a thousand tiny fragments. As the story ends you see a closeup of the semi-decapitated Sarge with just his mouth and a stogie in it saying: "Good thing I wus wearin mah helmit!"

citizen Posted February 16, 2001 Share Posted February 16, 2001 I choose mine as an homage to one of my all-time favorite TV shows: "The Prisoner" ; and to one of my favorite roleplaying games: Paranoia. The other reason I like it is that it's hard to form an opinion about me based on the name. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THumpre Posted February 16, 2001 Share Posted February 16, 2001 Yes, mine is derived from the classic Disney cartoon, but I picked it because after considering my two other hobbies, Hockey and Karate, "thumping" just seemed like a natural. I spelled it different just to be difficult, which is another of my hobbies, just ask my wife. ------------------ When one goes tear-assing around, one often ends up with a torn ass.
