This is strictly off topic and also very silly, so please stop to read if you belong to the serious kind.
Yesterday evening while brushing my teeth I started to think about how people always tend to invent nicknames, especially in MEPBM.
We all have heard of Muzzy, Urzy and the other nasty nazzy boys. Most Easterlings are named so strange - if they would just say them to themselves often enough, Khand would not be so dry a place.
So there is enough raw material out there to advertise a MEPBM nickname contest.
I do this in the certainty that I have already won the thing. There is a nice FK commander whose name does not even need much altering:
Mr. Shagrat… I mean… you know… Shag-rat… nudge, nudge!
I have seen quite some funny names in the games I have been in.
It goes without saying that the name I invented, “Din Mor” is the most hillarious one to me. To the average, non danish player this name might just seem stupid, as it consists of a bit of the names, of some of the more famous ME chars (Mor-Galad and Din Ohtar), but in danish, Din Mor just means, Your mom
On another note, ME once change the name of a char I wanted to name. Think I requested the name, “Now f**k of” (I was a bit annoyed at a DS agent who had stayed at my capital for several turns, assassinating most of the my chars there. When the turn came through, I had a char called “Now go away” (So much for freedom of speech
Whoremouth
Ourfunhill-man
Egonion (shortened to Onion by a valiant enemy once)
Idonefell (and can’t get up…?)
Singarounda (Italian scout leader…)
and last but not least,
Idiot for whomever is playing Rhudaur in 66…
My personal favorites have been “Jiwhattaguy” and “Non-stealth Loser”, a Woodmen character named by a teammate who was frustrated by his characters failure to get any steath bonuses whatsoever. It was his 21st character, and, sure enough, he had no stealth…
Game 39 has Ulrik (Sindar so he claims!) naming his characters after us GMs - so we’re taking great pleasure in killing “Clint”, “Sam” etc… Not quite that funny but very satisfying…
so you like Fondle Us better than Mr. Rat Shagger ?
Well, well… still waiting to be convinced
BTW has anybody made the mistake of naming a character after his girlfriend, proudly telling her - and some weeks later having to explain that she was eaten by a giant spider?
Not an experience I can recommend to share…

My wife is currently a Regent about to take Minas Ithil, while my 13 month old daughter just killed 2 Khand Captains in 1 turn by challenge and assassination. Good girls both. I’m the 10 commander sitting at home transferring leather to my allies… Of course, if my wife’s picture isn’t one of the hotties, I hear about it…
I’m still amused by the old standby, “Tight Security.”

One ME buddy always names a chr after his wife and TRIES to get her eaten by a giant spider.
I am sorry to say that your friend’s submission is neither good or clean fun, which I believe was the point of this thread. He should be “so proud” to have pulled such an immature and crude sheet over Harly’s eyes, and you boasting about it just makes it that much sadder. The mere fact that you were unwilling to explain it in the first place should tell you and everyone else something.
Oh please get a little less stuffy…life is fun and the fact that once in awhile things that should not get by do makes life that much more amusing that is what most comedy is about…
Strange that people think things like Shag Rat, Fondle us and Nimrod’el??? are funny but mine is not funny is that not sort of a double standard…They are all along the same lines…
When your high horse stumbles and falls please I would like to watch…as the old horse dung in the face was always an old comedy sketch classic…
if you don’t know the difference between a flat adolescent off-color joke and an intelligent pun which might come out a little slippery, I can’t help you.
@ brad
don’t you think involving your whole family in this game makes you prone to blackmailing?
The long forgotten order 655 might become interesting for your opponents…
I once named a charactor – Dark Servant Male 17 spaces exactly. I was playing free. Harly notified me I could not name the charactor that, as it plays with program. Sorry Clint you better start redoubling the watch on names now. A free counterpart is also illegal but I forget what it was.
