The Last McCoy sounds like it should be the name of a movie.

Seriously what is up with the nicknames in name o.0?

[Sellka]

Huh. Figured I'd be there. Oh well. Also no idea, its been an on going trend for a good while

[Redfield5]

Me gusta.

For 'Sword', it was because one round I went with a stun baton and a knife all round. I attacked so many aliens.

[apophis775]

do you guys not want nicknames allowed?

[Mycroft Macarthur]

i personally like the nicknames, it can give each individual player abit more character and depth (though having a nickname does certainly clash with the 26 character limit for those of us with longer names like myself)

the only possible complaint i could have in regard to nicknames is the whole, "it caught on" thing, seems like everyone and their mother is starting to get one now when it seemed like barely one or two weeks ago it was something kept to the more intelligent marines or those who are the better fighters and so on.

that sort of thing is to be expected though, regardless of where it goes people will look to emulate those who know what they are doing and can get it done.

[Kreydis]

Worst comes to worst you can get rid of it from naming but most casual/hardcore players will still have a little list in their head. I personally like it, just not when it comes from not IC reasons.

[Skycave1]

I chose Twitch, Because I based Jim off of some part of me. Jim does have tourette syndrome, witch causes him to have facial twitches. It adds the Jim, and the nickname surprisingly fits him. The twitching mainly happens when he's nervous, pissed, or just on edge. It's not as bad when nothing is going on

The last McCoy. The last 'He's dead Jim'

In my opinion, we shouldn't have nicknames in records. Just first and last names since nicknames are like titles. Second, I've never seen a person call someone by their nickname.

However, I do not care for it. Not like it changes the role play.

Sometimes they are called but.. eh.
The worst part is that it's on their ID card and records. Nobody would ever put someone's nickname to the records. Some of the nicknames are too edgy and others have names that are unique/too small and the nickname is basically useless.(Looking at you Xur)

[MrGabol100]

Nicknames are things that OOCly players call others ICly.

They don't usually last long, and FROM MY SINCERE POINT OF VIEW.
If you put XXXXX- "Nickname" -XXXXX, you'll look like a massive faggot, (Ayy so homophobic xdddd, please, don't start) by human fucking nature, everyone will start avoiding calling you that and when they do, it'll start feeling pretty awkward, let the nicknames be there, say no to nicknames in ID cards.

[Davidchan]

I don't mind nickmanes, I hardly EVER use them (I.E. I call Xur by his first name), Unless your Nickname is easier to call you then your actual name, I'm not gonna bother. Putting them on the IDs is kinda dumb, I know they are there cause it's about the only way to get them scene, but they'd be better off in Flavor text or something.

And as a Side note, Ward made the list :B And here I thought everyone hated having me around.

[razerwing]

Ohoho. Kelly made the list? Very nice, hehe.

As for nicknames, they really shouldn't be on the cards. The ID's are for official, recorded names. Not even ranks are allowed on them.
Nicknames should probably be mentioned in the flavor text. I don't see many people using that anyways, so it might just give people some inclination to check what that has to say, no?

[Caroes]

Harry isn't on the medic roster?

Those of you I may have missed, just let me know, the roster is still being constructed

Well for starters, I didn't start the nickname trend, also I like the idea of nicknames because it gives a certain kind unique quality to the player. Say for instance there is someone with the same name as another but can be called apart using their nicknames. Those nicknames are also common among marines and those in the military service. As for my nickname, there has been many players that would call me by my nickname than just Xur.

[Doctor Clockwork]

Like those bastards who call Andreas a 'she'... grumble grumble..

[LordeKilly]

I don't care about nicknames, but something like these types of squads [mufukkin banter baby] seems like the place to put it.

That and Xur was the first.

And you spelled my name wrong, "Genghis "Motherfucking" Khan

[DernSquirres]

Get rid of nicknames, IMO they make you look like a jackass.
