Since everyone can add a bit of personal touch to a name they personally designed, just for fun, I set up this thread for those of you who would like to reveal what inspired the creation of your nicknames. Kindly state your Ladder ID and Forum ID followed by a blurb stating what inspired it. Making friendly jokes is okay, but please keep serious negative remarks to yourself. You can use the following format.
Ladder/Gamespy ID: Colonel_Treize. Colonel Treize Kushrenada is my favorite fictional character from the anime TV series Gundam Wing. He is also my favorite fictional character of any TV show, book, or movie.
Forum ID: coloneltreize. Same meaning as above.

smatt834 was my university login for the computers there when civ4 came out Decepticon comes from the Transformers cause they are more than meets the eye. Kinda like the coming global government. And since i was rejoining i thought it fit well. Homeland Security comes from recent events and because since im in the lobby talkin bout the new world order a lot I thought it kinda fit. P.S. Motherland = russia/communist/bad govt Fatherland = germany/nazi/bad govt Homeland = ? To be determined ?

NeutralParty came from not wanting to be involved in the pathetic drama that exists on the ladder from time to time. I try to be a neutral party in these arguments and such.

My game name comes from the nick-name my mother used to call me (alright, back off all you freudians). Guess she had a crush on the Big Bopper (now I've dated myself...) I use that name in laser tag games and it kinda stuck.

I'd like to kindly request that this thread be stickied, as it is kind of along the lines of Member Profiles and Ladder Member Pictures?

WarningU2 is a play on my last name (like the movie co. ) and when I was an admin I wanted to have an intimidating name - WarningU was already taken so the next best thing was to add the 2.
ps. I think this was thread was done a while ago on CIV3 but no matter
