I am very curious of a origin of player nickname and again i read today this thread. I am sorry people but my explanation of february 2016 its very ordinary. Here more.
From the first Doom (if I remember correctly in 2000-2001 years) it was necessary to have a nickname to identify the members of the friendly team playing in LAN. I chose "Bronzi di Riace" as they were bronze statues of Greek warriors recovered in the Calabrian sea. The two statues - found on August 16, 1972 near Riace Marina, are dated to the 5th century BC ( for mayor see Wiki or Google)in the province of Reggio Calabria.I not live in Calabria ( i born and live in Italy near Garda lake, betewen Miland and Venice) and the reason for the choice was that they were inspired by loyalty ideals,beauty and "mind" . I know if you look at the lower stomach of the statues you can be disappointed, but those were the conventions of the time even if you do not have a feeling of power but the beauty of the statues is not external, but what they transmit to our soul.Thought inspired by the Greek thinkers who are at the base of the philosophy and civilization of our times (Wiki or Google again). Since you are a child, do you know that there is nothing more serious than the game and now how do adults change? For me nothing, i suppose the same for you ....
Have a nice day (s)
