    Hullo! I am Necket, and i have seen many weird usernames in my stay in Ecc. So I wanted to know, where did you had the idea for it. I think I recall some of the lore of my name, but it is not 100% accurate


    Imagine 7 year old me, derpy eyes, rabbit teeth. A monkey MMO appeared. "Sign up to play this [dolphin sound]ing game". I put password like "Bestia12" [not real password]. "U r mising usrname". Sees Nickelodeon's logo on top of the page. "I know, nick, since my name is Nicholas". "USername taken you dumb [dolphing sound], have you tried Neck, or NickET?". "Sounds lame, mix, NECKET." Good, confirm your account. "confirms it". 'Good, lets play'. YOU NEED TO INSTALL UNITY WEB PLAYER. Screw this, i aint no hacker, I am gonna play with my hamster.

    So, back in early 2013, I was (and still am) a pretty avid follower of indoor American football, also known as Arena Football. This high speed game was always very interesting to me, and I looked into teams for a long time trying to find a good one to follow. Since I am very Wisconsinite at heart, I looked for an Arena Football League or af2 team that was from that area. And, my searches turned up the Green Bay Blizzard (who, at the time, had just gone 11-3.)

    Therefore, when it asked for my username, I wanted something to tie to the Blizzard. First thing that popped into my head was the phrase "Go Blizzard." I mixed it into one word, and lowercased everything. "goblizzard" seemed too weird, though, so I went with the nickname of "Blizz". Hence go-blizz or goblizz!

    This debunks the theory that my name is a spinoff of goblins, as well as explains the tri-colored gray, white, and green nickname I possess ingame.

    Description of the team: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Bay_Blizzard

    ChargerBoltz5.... Hmm.

    I first used my name as my Xbox ign, and when I purchased Minecraft in late June 2014, I just used the same thing.

    I'm a huge San Diego Chargers fan, as many people know, so that's where "Charger" is from. The Bolts is the Chargers' nickname, as in lightning bolts. I stuck that on as well, but "ChargerBolts" didn't sound as manly as "ChargerBoltz", so I went with the Z instead of the S. I just stuck on the 5 because it sounded fine, and wasn't so cliché like 1, 123, 0, and 100 are in igns.

    Dewsy is related to my irl name. I was always Dewsy8 on games (PSN etc) but it was already registered :( So 92 is from 1992, the year I was born.

    My XBox Live Gamer Tag is Helix 3000, so when applied to minecraft, I had shortened "minecraft" to MC, and added to Helix 3000 to become MCHelix3000. The 3000 also comes from my love of robotics :)

    Well it is one of the foundation truths of trading. Easier said than done. No idea when was the first time I encountered it, but I have used it for a good couple of years in different places.. I started using it because c'est genial and at the same time it gives a good clue of my interest in finance. Also known as blsh which was the original version of it. I stopped using it, because many people didn't understand this was short for buylowsellhigh, and this sounds like I am calling bulls***t on them.. so that was kinda trollish.

    This is not my only alter ego.

    RaginDevonian. I was once part of the "Raging" company. A group of kids who ran a server. "Devonian" is a period on the geological time scale. My name is Devon. Hence my name

    Chris is my first name shortened

    DKN is from when I was a go-karter and I needed to use the first 3 letters of my last name. As that would be inappropriate I decided to use Dkn instead.

    I assume his last name is Dickens or something along those lines. Similar to if your last name was Gamer, you could use GMR.
