Now that's an easy one: the story behind is the infamous The Cauldron Who Called the Kettle Black. T_T

[Stoy]

My nick comes from a swedish comedy, where a guide shows a Castle for some tourists. He means to speak in english but actually it's no language at all. During the tour of the castle he says "stoy on" many times. They did supply a small dictionary so that you could read what he wanted to say.
There I found out that "stoy on" meant "look out" or "look up" (in swedish the phrase "se upp" can mean either "look out" or "look up".).
Since I had begun to get good at Unreal Tournament (the first game) I thought that it would be quite suitable to have a name that meant "look out" and at the same time looked a bit wierd.

Then I registered at a swedish forum, after a couple of posts i read about IRC and their channel there and I downloaded an IRC client, after about a week of chatting they stopped calling me "Stoy on" and just "Stoy". About 3 months later there was a getting together IRL i Stockholm and everyone called me Stoy.
Since then I have always used the nick Stoy.

That is my story.

[Eggman]

Should be pretty obvious, but I chose my nickname 'cos I'm a mad keen Sonic fan. I even bought and finished Shadow the Hedgehog.

I used to be an dedicated reader to the sonic comics back in the day.. i dont even know if they are producing them anymore tho.. humm
