To do with nicknames.

Ok, well i have found a nickname to use, but what is your guys opinion of using a nickname that is already in use? By someone in a totally different country or in a different game, like say you play quake and the name you use is used in another game by a top tier player.

Just thinking about it, it'll be good to get some info/thoughts on what you guys WOULDNT do with regards to nicknames. Like i wouldnt be so brash as to take a nick like LakermaN or Polosatiy.. or even a famous player from another type of game, like Lauke from UT or InZomnia from WC3.

Anyway the name ive come up with is sh0ck i know know one in NZ that uses it, hardly anyone anywhere that uses it in Quake. Wouldnt really know for UT/WC3 as i dont follow the scenes at all. Although there was an old player that used to play in 'inevitable Demise' but i dont think he had the 0 in his nick.

Prolly gonna have to hit sujoy up about changing my nick for ESR :) Reason i chose it is coz i can get the nick with my isp email and its kinda easy to remember for people. I just tell them its shock at such and such.nz And then tell them to replace the 'o' with a '0' :)

Like the other day i was playing CS *shakes* :) And there was a player on the Server called Spawn, and i asked the dude is that like an alias and hes like "wtf!! i use the nick in CS tournaments" Now correct me if im wrong but isnt SpawN like one of the Top 10 CS players in the World?

Hit me with your thoughts people :)
