History of your nickname.

Specifically for Tanyusha, I'm writing a silly story about how I claimed a nickname that had long been overused by many :O)
Just over two years ago, when it suddenly occurred to me that Heroes could be played online, I installed GameSpy. I wandered into the Heroes 4 room and... didn't understand a damn thing. There were a lot of people, almost all of them rattling on in foreign languages; I reached out to those who would respond in hopes of catching a compatriot and finding out which buttons to press to play Heroes. The first one didn't answer, the second wrote something in English and put a question mark, the third apparently told me to get lost since asterisks appeared on the screen... and so on... Not a single day passed before I got fed up with it, and suddenly I realized I should change my nickname at the time to one easily recognized by Russians. I didn't think long and chose the most common Russian nickname written in Latin letters. The plus side is significant: in GameSpy, Russian players recognize me constantly )
