JTK, KHR, CAP, LQR, CMG, CTG, SDK, MFT, PCK.... What's with all those 3-letter abbreviations?
Are you really interested in this? Well then I tell you: CTG means a very unmodest thing but contains another 3-letter-word. The original one: CAX The God I used this name for a joke in the secondary school when we (Akoss, Usrin and me) played Stunts. It's obvious that I was far the worst driver... :evil:
And why are you Bonzai Joe and what does 'Bonzai' mean? And why is Alan Rotoi Alan Rotoi and what does 'Rotoi' mean? And why is Krys Toff Krys Toff, why is Usrin Usrin? Why is Duke Bismarck Duke Bismarck? What does 'Argammon' mean? Why is pArAnO pArAnO? They are more mystical for me!
Maybe we only know the origin of Zak's and Inavoeg's name.
And why am I Akoss Poo?
Bonzai means in the japanese language: "Live for 1000 years!" :)
I didn't know that :D I am Bonzai Joe because once upon a time when I was 10 years old, I wrote a story in which there was a character called Bonzai Joe (just called so because I thought it sounded cool) and then some months later, I started calling my self Bonzai Joe on the scoreboard when I raced with ManOnMoon. Now I am just Bonzai Joe because I am so used to it that I won't take another name. I don't think it's a particularly great name... the greatest name here is of course Zak McKracken.
By the way, we also know the origin of Roy's name (his real name) and of Alain's name (same thing). Mingva is probably a strange anagram/abbreviation of Mindaugas Gvozdas, and Krys Toff is a different way of spelling "Christophe". But the others I don't know... Parano must have something to do with Paranoya, and Duke Bismarck was a german (Preussian)... duke... in late 1800's/early 1900's. He slaughtered the danes in 1864.
Well, I think it's time to tell ya why I am Akoss Poo.
But first I want to say that 'Bonzai Joe' really sounds cool and it's the best name there because it's original, no more Bonzai Joes on the world, it's the result of your own fantasy. But 'Alan Rotoi' and 'Sneller dan Ben' also sounds cool. :D
Well, my first name is '?kos' and in 1997 when I played Network Q Rally (it is an excellent computer game) I started to write my name onto the scoreboard 'Akoos' because 'Akos' sounded too simple.
A friend of mine is called 'Gunnar' or just shortly 'Gu', another is called 'B?l?' or just 'Bu'. A third friend of mine was started to give such names to us in 1998, he said let me be 'Pu'. Well, I didn't liked it, but he and Gu did, and my sister especially, so I got used to this name. But I said let it be written with two 'o'-s, so it became 'Poo'. It was in 1998. I started to use the two names together: 'Akoos Poo'. (In 1999 we formed a gang - it is rather a group of friends, not gangsta people, but we call it a gang - and the members are: Gu, Loo, Bu and Poo... well, we weren't and aren't proud of these names but we sometimes use it.)
In March 2000 I started to take part in Stunts competitions as 'Akoos Poo'. It can be seen on the site of the Swedish Stunts Championship, which is reachable from the Meganium site.
In April 2000 I started to be bored with 'Akoos' and I changed it to 'Akoss'. And the final form of my name was born: 'Akoss Poo'. It's a little bit complicated, but there was no other (shorter) way to tell you these. :?
We are still seeking for the origin of the others' name.
Policemen, gypsies, keep on killing each other!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
OK, well you asked for it...
so. I was 13 years old, and in the school we started to make small gropus as usual in that age. We formed a "family" with some friends, it was the Mustafa family. And it was a habit to give ourselves loooong names.
Mine was:
Mustafa Fitoska Tivadar B?lajos?d?nguszt?vazul?szl?luk?csongortaksony
why this one?
guess you know why Mustafa.
Fitoska because when we learned pascal on comp.programming lesson, everyone had a file noname00.pas, but mine was fitoska.pas, so it stuck on me. :)
Tivadar is my chosen favourite name.
And the long one is the putting together of 9 not so common, funny-sounding Hungarian names: B?la, Lajos, ?d?n, Guszt?v, Vazul, Ul?szl?, Luk?cs, Csongor, Taksony.
So, and we were in quite a revolutionary age, so we did some small graffittis in the school & publis transport. So I needed a tag, which was MFT from Mustafa Fitoska Tivadar.
That's how MFT was born. I used it for some years, in computr games, from 1997 on fidonet and shadownet (you may not know these, they were old BBS and remote-based mailing networks, when Internet wasn't so well-known yet, and then I used it from 1998 on the net too.
In 1999 I had enough of it, because it was too short, and we played one day with some friends on IRC, that we took some favourite game character names on us, and spoke as we were them.
When I arrived to Zak McKracken, I just felt that I won't change it anymore. It stayed so, but I also needed a shorter version of it, it was
ZakKrack first, but then I changed to Zaqrack, which is pronounced almost the same, but sounds also more unique.
Now here we are. :)

I'ts funny to see CAP and Parano in the same team...
CAP is too the abreviacture of Clube Atl?tico Paranaense and Parano looks alike Paran?, a rival of Atl?tico Paranaense. The two soccer teams are 2 of 3 professional great teams of my city... The other one is Coritiba (also called Coxa). Exists a player called Corisco or Coxa... They can create a team called "Los Tres Inimigos"... :lol:
But now Leo, Parano is a MeganiuM Team traineer... errr I mean member!!
(personal joke) :wink: :lol: :lol: :lol:
And what about your name Alan? We are interested in this question?
This story is very funny so pay attention ;) (and sorry for my bad english)
The Story starts 10 years ago, when I go out with my dog Alan (a beatiful brown German Shepherd) to do that they do in the trees :D , piss and another things.
All was ok so I didn't pay atention to him. And when I see him, he started to piss, not in a tree exactly, he started to do it almost in the front door of a neighbor. So I pulled the strap trying to stop that mess. I couldn't but in the ground he left some strange marks. It was "written" a word: rotoi. So I assumed that he chose his own name and I started to call him Alan and as a last name Rotoi, then Alan Rotoi.
I used Rotoi as nickname in internet almost from the beginning (1998)
He born the 5 of may of 1988 in Monte a small town of Provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina with 8 little dogs more. 45 days after that my uncle brought us a little dog and we called him Alan.
He died the 20 of October of 2001 and from that moment he will be on my heart forever and ever. He was with us 13 years, and it's more than the half of my life. I only have a lot of memories and some pictures. He lived as a king here, you can't imagine how we loved him, my family and friends. I still miss him and sure I will all my life. :cry:
SO!... It isn't a sad story! :D :D :lol: :lol: I started to use the nick alanrotoi more or less from the beginning of 2001 and I edited some pictures with my body and the head of Alan and now that being (we) is called Alan Rotoi.
Nice story! Anyway I have the same kind of dog called 'Lady' so I will never use her name in the championship... :D
BJ is right, Krys Toff means Christophe (my 1st name).
I changed the way it's written because old games limited names to 8 letters only (due to filename length, u know that of course).
First, i wrote it ChrisTof.
Then KrysTof to be more original.
And then KrysToff because i encountered someone (a Hungarian guy if my memory is correct) which real 1st name was Krystof and i wanted a unique nickname.
Sorry, but there's no wonderful story like BJ or Alan's. :lol:
yep Christophe = Kristof in Hungarian, so Krystof must be a common name here. :)

Our names... :D ...with the meaning of Bonzai Joe :wink:
And what about Argammon's, Gutix's and Diesel Joe's name? :)
And what about Dark Chaser, AbuRaf or Paleke's nick too :?:
My name...
One might think it would have something to do with the car I drive. But that's not the reaseon. Well, we had a Citroen AX for some years, and I liked it (we had to give it away some weeks ago, after 250.000 km it didn't want anymore :cry:), but at the time when my nickname was created, I didn't even think about REAL car driving :lol:.
Name's origin unfortunately is no real interesting one. It was at the time, when some friends and me began to play some games via LAN or Internet. We brought 3 computers onto the attic of one us us and then we played games, favourite ones were GTA and Team Fortress Classic. Sometimes we played online with 2 PCs via ONE 56K-connection! :lol: Aaargh, our TFC clan REALLY sucked! :mrgreen:
This was the time where I was searching for a nickname. I changed very often at the beginning, but I don't know them anymore. Only one of them: FarmerTed! :lol: Some of you might remember something now... FarmerTed? DieselJoe? Yes, it were names of some of the enemies in another nice racing game, Death Rally! There was a time when we played it pretty often, I simply liked the names and chose them for me.
DieselJoe survived among all the others. :)
JTK - two things to say about my nick:
1. In former times when I was young (old JTK sais) in high scores you could only type in three letters. So on a besoin d'un three-letter-name.
2. I always liked a very special captain of a very special space ship called "Enterprise"... :-D
Nowadays especially in the www JTK is a very common name so I only but still use it for games. My other nick I normally use in the internet is Okatjerute.
P.S.: Zak, could you please post a voice file containg "Mustafa Fitoska Tivadar B?lajos?d?nguszt?vazul?szl?luk?csongortaksony"? :shock:
Aburaf's nick is something like:
Abu = Abuelo = Grandfather
Raf = Rafaela = a city from Argentina
70 = Age
Quote from: "CTG"And what about Argammon's, Gutix's and Diesel Joe's name? :)
An insane friend of mine :-D puts me the nick "guti", and then my friends starts to call me like this. The "X" marks the treasure :shock:
Quote from: "Gutix"An insane friend of mine :-D
Why do I think this friend is El Portador de Luz ?
Quote from: "Gutix"The "X" marks the treasure :shock:
I always knew that you're a X-Man.
My nickname comes from Uhrin, my family name. Once in the dormitory of grammar school, my roommates talked about Nostradamus who predicted the whole further history of mankind in the Middle Ages. As they said, he had only one mistake: he wrote the name of Hitler as "Histler" or "Hisler". I never believed in such things, so I asked if he had predictions about a Slovak dictator called "Usrin" (which would have meant me) - and this name (easier to spell than Uhrin) has stuck to me.
Lol, Nostradamus didn't predict anything :D I think the "Histler" thing was not his only mistake, but maybe the only time he came closer to guessing the name of an important person :)
My roommates also said that Nostradamus "predicted" the end of the world, what would have had to happen in 1999. (I've got my nickname in the schoolyear 1997/98.) :-)

Mine isn't very exciting, it's just an abbreviation of my real name. I used to have a unique nick with a thrilling back-story, but abandoned it as the Internet became mainstream and I found myself having to explain and spell it in awkward social situations.
Antti is a very common Finnish male name, but with all the uncertainty and doubt surrounding Stunts scoreboard entries thanks to certain community members, nobody knows if he's real. :)
dstien = D. Stein or Dr Stein, creator of the famous monster. ;D
Helloween - Dr Stein (from "Keeper of the 7 keys" part 2 album, good old days when Kay Hansen was a key member of the band)
Dr. Stein grows funny creatures
Lets them run into the night
They become great politicians

Mine is not too complicated either. Like all of my nicks, it comes from the one "unique" characteristic of my real name:
Daniel
David Mlot Pinheiro
As you can see, it's a double-D name. In fact, "Double D" or just "Double" is my current general-use nickname. Anyway, "double D" becomes "duplo dê" in Portuguese. From there to "Duplode" is a simple step, and that's how my online nick was created long before ZakStunts even existed... the only subtlety is that "Du
plode" is not supposed to be pronounced like "duplo dê" in Portuguese (stress in the "dê"), but rather with stress on the "plo" - so that the connection is not immediately obvious :)

Interesting comment - sometimes even I get surprised by realizing my voice has a far lower pitch than I imagine it to have. But at least it's not murky or tremulous on this record as it often tends to appear on the (rare) occasions I get to listen to my on voice. :D

Friker? dreadnaut?

Friker? dreadnaut?
My nickname is pronounced as "fricker". My name is Viktor. In Slovakia we have also a girl name Viktória. Viki is a common abbrevation of Viktória but my mother used to call me Viki. So my schoolmates started to call me Viki. Later, they realized I often pronounce "f" instead of "v", so my nick was changed to "Fiki" (also a tourney in.. a game very similar to gomoku helps to the "Fiki" nickname). Well - "fika?" is not so common but used as "to f*ck". "Fika?" - the one who is f*cking etc. So I changed my nickname to Friker, not aware of german "ficken" or english "freaky". :) English "freaky" suits me well. I am both horny and wierd in real life. :) My voice sounds funny and records terrible so I do not append a sound file.
So the "Freaker" wasn't that far from the truth. :D
Btw "fika" means snot (from the nose :D) in Hungarian.

yes - Freaker is a common alternative to Friker. :)
I wrote "fikac" :-/ - c with a caron. funny note about a caron - it is "há?ek" in Czech, also in English (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caron) (a thing you put your jacket on), but in Slovak it is "mäk?e? (http://sk.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%A4k%C4%8De%C5%88)" (makcen) (a thing that soften)
All I remember from Slovakian language is "Televizia Markiza uvadza epizodu zo serialu Akty X" or something like that. :D
