I was given the name "Marco Polo" when I was a point guard for my high school basketball team. My high school is abbreviated "USN."
Now that I'm graduated, I'm still referred to as Marco.

started as m7419,m for my first name being mike and just some random numbers(or are they?).just dumb and didn't know any better.had no clue about video game communities.never really played online much at all.
i remember the first time i came to fluckit Signguy was joking about it saying it sounded like a part number for a car parts catalog or something.
everybody just called me m7 so i just went with it,spelled out 7,and that's where it is...still dumb.

Legba
11-24-2012, 07:16 PM
Legba is a spirit or deity found in various Caribbean and African religions, as well as Christianity. He is also found throughout European literature since the late 1400s ( After euro explorers had gained a better understanding of cultures on other continents).

This character has always fascinated me. He differs greatly from religion to religion. The voodoo version of Legba fascinates me the most.

Anyway, long story short; one of my father's friends called me a lil legba after I beat him in a few games. (in voodoo, Legba is a trickster; he may bless you or damn you if you pray to him...in some cases, he may do one after the other. So, my style of usually achieving victory in a game only after appearing to lose for most of the match/round is a good parallel)

The name stuck, & I made my xbl gamertag darklegba when I was 14 and never changed it. Before I knew it, I had friends calling me Legba, & the name carried over into real life. So now I use it just about everywhere online.

Oh, I also have the unrelated nickname of 'Legs', due to the fact that I'm 6.6ft tall and have long ass legs. So when I skate, its kinda like a giant pair of legs flicking a board around.

Not too interesting lol.

It was never a nickname but it slowly became one.. people started calling me antwan at school.
Never changed it.

The fact that I will manage all of you dewds internally if given the chance is just added bonus.

crni1976
11-24-2012, 11:13 PM
Crni means "black" in Serbian, Croatian or Bosnian. I find these amazing languages (generally referred to as the Serbo-Croatian language) that I (used to) master to some extent and which are spoken in the Balkan region that I visited repeatedly for its sheer beauty.

Since I often dress in black (not that I am a goth or anything), I figured I might make use of the word which is also used to nickname the crazy character Blacky in the great yet surreal movie Underground by Emir Kusturica (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114787/).

1976 is the year I was born, which probably makes me one of the oldest fluckers around here.

And so it goes...

And the two games I was playing most at the time I made my account were Company Of Heroes (still play it) and Battlefield 2142 (what a shit game)

And for SK8ERatWAR.. well obviously because I skate and because I've always played wargames when I was kid playing with toys till now that I'm an adult and play with airsoft.. lol

replicant
11-25-2012, 05:38 AM
I've been a Blade Runner fan since seeing it in the theater.
It's been my favorite movie for the past 3 decades now.
I was such a nerd over it that a couple friends starting calling me "replicant" or "rep" for short.
They even had me a baseball cap made with replicant embroidered on the front.
So, when I started using BBS's, AOL, Sprint, Local ISP's, etc I used replicant as my email prefix or forum name.

Although, the majority of people offline just call me Bear. Since, that's my real name.

Raging isn't pissing people off, it's being pissed off.
War is never about doing shit yourself. It's about either puppeteering others into doing your dirty work, or being told what to do and doing it.
Hero is a relative word. A hero to one is a villain to another.

11-27-2012, 07:42 AM
As a kid my old man called me Knäcke Makaron which roughly translates hardbread macaroni. Neither him nor I have any idea why, I weren't particularly fond of either. Later on I used Knecke for web communities and games. A lot of my friends call me that, to the quite ridiculous extent that some people I've known for years didn't know my actual name for a long time.
Knecke was already taken at some places so I used knexzor where neccesary. It's pretty lame, but I sort of like Knex.

As for modeling my character, I look way too good to be accurately portrayed in a game. Besides, I'd look like every other fakeskater. Hence the hat and moustache.

This has got to be the 20th time I have described this in similar threads so bare with me. When I got my PS3 one of the first things you have to do before doing anything is come up with a name. I just wanted to play my damn games. So I just named it after my business. Never really went online before Skate and when I did either I didn't have a option or I just carried over the given option of my PS3 username. I really don't know what I would of called myself if I would of realized what was happening, probably not thesignguy but I don't really have any regrets. If I had to guess it would of probably been "aphidlip" a inside joke amongst friends and the name of my second or third solo
