Posts from History of your nickname. Auto-translated

Good topic. Back when I was a student, I spent a lot of time playing Civilization II with a group of friends, and we had intense battles on a single computer. My nickname was tasteless and awful: VAMPIR RADIOACTIVE (remember the atomic bomb in the game – I used it mercilessly against enemies). That's how "vamrad" came about. It's my first hero nickname. My second hero nickname, "Nagan," appeared almost by chance. About seven or eight years ago, I registered on a forum where many talented and intelligent people posted. I was very proud that they accepted me into their ranks... It was great for about a year and a half, until the conflict. Then a conflict broke out on the forum, and after that, about 20 people from both sides were permanently banned. I jumped in to support my friends... and I was banned as well. My original nickname was "Narval." I was very upset that they treated me that way, so I registered again under a similar nickname, "Nagan." But after losing my friends there, I had nothing to do. Since then, I've vowed never to get involved in conflicts, because there are no winners, and in the end, only losers remain.

Vegtamr (Old Norse: "one who is accustomed to the road, a traveler") is one of many names for Odin. I registered in one game playing as dwarves, and there was a requirement for nicknames to fit the atmosphere. I looked through a book on mythology, chose the best name in terms of meaning and sound, and called myself "Skald Vegtamr," later shortening it.

I am a bright, cheerful, and kind person, like the early morning when a fresh breeze gently caresses the skin, and the soul is filled with enthusiasm in anticipation of accomplishments.

I was walking down the street, thinking about what nickname to choose, and suddenly this cute little cat jumped out at me, so I decided I would be "Koteika"!

Why are you lying? I was the one who suggested that nickname to you.

I like plants, especially trees. And somehow, I also came to like the wooden elements from Heroes of Might and Magic V. But calling myself "Ent" would be uninteresting, even a bit silly. So, I'm Ment. And since I never use Cyrillic when giving a "computer" name to something, I'm Ment.

I thought you were a cop because you really liked "ent-ment."

I liked it, of course, but that's not a very compelling reason. There are many puns in the world, including better ones.

Abbreviation of the full nickname: Zexus Tar'Onad Max'Artan. (Nickname from a board game)

In Heroes of Might and Magic IV, in the Armageddon's Blade expansion, there is a campaign featuring Erathian Rivola. I really liked this hero, and that's why I use that name everywhere.

There used to be many nicknames, one replaced another...
Ismail is the final nickname, login, and name...

comparisons, prototypes, etc.
*Fortress Ismail
*hero, the Walking Fortress, in In the Wake of Gods
*simply sounds good
*rhymes with Agrail and similar names
*symbolizes resilience, restraint, and reliable defense...

puffing...

Full nickname: Ilg’drassell Olasiirden Torenlavar. I came up with this nickname because I really like one of the characters from Winx Club. Specifically, the headmistress of Cloud Tower named Griffin. Since the name/surname is too common (due to its prevalence) for such a sorceress, I invented a new name for her, and also added a patronymic and surname. It should be noted that the name, patronymic, and surname are Dark Elf, which is very suitable for such a pale-skinned and gothic lady.

It would be nice to spend a few days trying to remember all my nicknames, and then a few more weeks trying to remember their "history," hmm...

In Heroes of Might and Magic IV, in the Armageddon's Blade expansion, there is a campaign featuring Erutan Rivol. I really liked this hero, and that's why I use this name everywhere.

If you read this hero's name backward, it becomes "Nature Lover." This shows how lazily the developers approached creating this expansion.
