I was looking at the members listing and I noticed the incredible diversity of names (where the hell is @1 listed anyway? The categories range from the alphabet to the numbers 1 through 9). I know Mepps fishes and I've learned Mepps is a kind of fishing lure, and Hada and @1 seem straightforward but does Hada really drink that much, and is @1 a practicing Buddhist? In short, I'm curious as to where or how you guys got your clan names.
Bubbles came from me playing CSS as my first-ever first person shooter. I had no idea how to play, no knowledge of conventions that traveled from game to game, and no sense of strategy in a world where you can't hear much behind you, and you don't know the maps or guns etc. etc. So I sucked and servers less friendly than the Few would rag on my for noob mistakes. So I tried to choose a name that would make it hard for people to be mad at me. And it worked. I had a guy on an East Coast server yell at me for a mistake, and then he laughed and apologized saying it was impossible to be mad at anyone called bubbles. It also didn't hurt that Trailer Park Boys had a half-blind, harmless, music loving guy called Bubbles.
So what's your story?

lol, interesting question. I no longer sport the name munky in games other than Cod4 so u guys know who I am but the original version of the name is munky_hunter0. It was given to me by MSN Zone back in the good ole' shogo days by the Zone computer after I typed in some random jibberish looking for a name that wasn't in use. After that it was shortened to just "Munky" because in combat I did fly around like a monkey in a forest xD Now I use the name SneakyBastid in all fps type games. After playing me you will see why I use such a name =D

Wow Filthy, you've even got patches!
Funny how many names were by accident rather than design.
I was surprised to learn that Iceman isn't named after a Top Gun character, but because he actually drives a zamboni and looks after ice. I'm still assuming that Kittens isn't an actual Kitten, although Crazy may be crazy.
peace. bubs

Originally TooL then changed to TòóL
Isn't it funny what people assume...
Most thought I enjoyed the band Tool...WRONG
If you called someone a tool it meant they were stupid or something of that nature so I used it. I used the name being a means to your death...I'm a tool of the game that owns you.
LoJack is a GPS vehicle recovery system as well as other security devices. I look at the other team as a stolen car, if they don't come to me I will hunt them down and find them.

I started off The_Few as Xtra_Few. That was back in shogo days aswell. As the story goes: I used to roll, a lot, XTC and lsd candy flipping back in those days and would also play games such as Shogo, Q3, UT while my late-night feel good was still intact. So thats the X. Xtra for being extra kills on the board and at the time just seemed to fit that was an extra for The_Few. I now use Synthetic_Few, obviously. Times changed and partying like that gets old fast, I woke up out of the "shit-head" I was acting like. I wanted change face as it were and move forward. Synthetic is to represent that I am man-made, self-made even. A combination of natural things to make something of un-natural make-up, maybe? Some think that it means fake, but I dont find myself fake at all, imo. Hell, sometimes I'm too real for people. So yeah, thot giving reason for my old name better explained the reason for Synthetic. And we just took a lil adventure into why i'm so fuq'd in the head ;D My past empowers me today, so i'm not ashamed. If i wasnt so weak then and had hit rock bottom, i wouldn't have gone through what i had to climb/rise up and be as strong and learned a person as I am today. Takes a strong person to sacrifice friends, family, and even money/power to be better in love with who you are as a person. I made myself from a person who was weak to pop-worth and social standards. I am Synthetic. That sounds pretty good. Maybe that'll be title/phrase for my book. lawl  ---Edit: I think i just did write a book! yikes. |

Wow Syn. That's an impressive origin for a name. And I'm with you on your reasoning. There's a Jonathan Swift quote that goes something like, "A man should never be afraid to admit he has been wrong, for it is, in other words, a way of saying he is wiser today than he was yesterday." I don't even like the word "failure." We wouldn't use that word with a baby learning to walk--as though every time it fell it "failed." It's just part of the learning process. Not succeeding is integral to success. So I don't see you as Synthetic the "fake" either. You're Synthetic the self-actualized human being who built himself up from his experiences--all of them. It now makes total sense that you would have been the guy to show me around and teach me stuff in my first FPS.
peace. bubs

---@1---_Few or AtOne came from gaming and listening to people bitching about dying, hackers, camping, bunny hopping...you name it.
It stands for being "At One" with the game whether I'm killing or dying its all part of the enjoyment of just playing the game.

Nicely put and very true about your gaming. Its how I feel...to a point. Hax arent acceptable and have to go, but yeah. I dont care if i get pwnd as long as its by someone with more skillz, not someone hacking. Vyper, shut your face... |

The pebble was never the problem, it was trying to find that big of a roll of rice paper to walk on  |
