How to spot a retard.

Dear Crossfire,

I've never actually mentioned this kind of information in a journal before so here be it.
How to spot a retard by only looking at their nickname.

1. The uses of the letters X Z Q and Y in their nickname. eg. Roachz
2. Having a nickname starting with a small letter followed by capital letters. eg. rOACH
3. Replacing letters with numbers in your nickname. eg ro4ch
4. Having RANDOM capital letters in the middle of your nickname making no sense whatsoever. eg roAch
5. Using a multitude of a certain letter. eg roacccch
6. Adding Ji behind your name. eg Roachji

This trend is very much present in a game we all love (besides being very dead) and it's just recently announced prestigious *cough* tournament called Nationscups and their lineups.

Our latest example in this moment of time (just because it's the latest newpost) is Team Switzerlands lineup with every single player(almost) breaking one of the 6 mentioned rules above

tAu (4)
Aquilla (1)
crAsh (4)
huNta (4)
GirljZE (4+1)
kNEJII (2+5+6)

There are ofcourse exceptions when your name actually makes sense using a certain letter for example player #2 in this particular lineup.

Please do yourself a favour and get a decent nickname because in ET there is no such thing as omg someone has taken my nickname.

e: The chances of you being a kiddy cheater faggot are multiplied by about 5 times if your nickname breaks one of the rules above.

you forgot stRay
Parent
Pretty sure that goes without saying...
Parent
Exceptions prove the rule but half of those players yes they are retards.
Parent
exceptions actually disprove a rule.

but otherwise, good job!

Use it as a guideline which is 90% accurate not as a fact.

the dutch & germans are notorious for these nicknames imo!
Notorious for being retards also.
Parent
says someone basing 'how retarded people are' on characters used in nicknames.
Parent
This is actually a quite accurate way to find out the truth.
Parent
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Parent
It's more like a matter of taste but it's the same idea. People replacing names with letters, adding 'JI' at the end of a nick, putting random caps, etc. have bad taste (they are not retards, as Roach said tho)
Parent
bad taste sure, some wnb-aspect to it as well but indeed they're certainly not retards.
Parent
hardly counts considering my brother gave me the idea to use the uppercase 'a' - before using that my nickname was Artstar.
Parent
''my brother''

:D

Word of advice go back to how it used to be.
Parent
huh? I've been using Artstar for years now. I only used the extra 'A' for a year or so of my time playing ET.

btw why quote the part where I mention my brother?
Parent
That's fine then!

It says a lot about you brother giving you that idea :D
Parent
maybe so. :D if you think merlinator is a retard
Parent
MerlinAtor? L o L !
Parent
he told me back then to make it ArtstAr!
Parent
How did that happen? were you guys having dinner and suddenly he said well you know, artstar, your name would be like super cool with an extra capital A in it ?: P jk m8 im like mega retarded : ( starts with an x ... 4 capital letters.. gg im doomed
Parent
he saw me playing (first time he saw my nick in et) and said why im not using the other A as caps too d:
Parent
ok pAiguRei
Parent
well you gave me that name

retard ::::
Parent
I gave you paigurei, now fuck off
Parent
nothing wrong about FiREBALL according to roachs way of spotting a retard :)
Parent
what about mine :°D

vj7o doesnt make sense right ?
that's the best thing !
i always pronounce it as "vejito"
Parent
eheehh :D u can pronounce: vito
Parent
isnt it vito?
Parent
seareal

best name
Man you just spoke the truth :D I love you
e: I almost fit in
I think you are the biggest retard, didnt have to check your nick for that
And who are you exactly?
Parent
well he has a point.

in your case taking a look in the mirror would be enough to spot the retard.
Parent
And who are you?
Parent
Someone who doesn't make journals from exceptionally bad ideas.
Parent
Bad idea? I don't comprend it's a thought and I am certain there are quite a few people out there who agree with me.
Parent
ten idiots agreeing on something as stupid as that doesn't make it anywhere near true.
Parent
Most of the somewhat normal people who played ET have quit playing and stopped reading crossfire. Disprove my analysis and I might listen to you.
Parent
you haven't proven anything so why would he need to disprove your 'analysis' :D
Parent
Disprove my analysis: you're an idiot.

I actually have more sound foundations for my analysis than you have for yours.

your theory is incorrect.

Parent
Hey, fuck you!
Bye!
Parent
lol that just proved you're an utter retard
Parent
the one speaking the truth
Parent
actually t4Mj looks way better than tamj -> exception !
bunch of bollocks
Alexis is an actual name so no problem there.
Parent
Still there are so many ppl consisting these nicks that makes them nowhere near retarded, u just simply cannot judge someone by its nicks nor by the letters u mentioned in ur main post.
Parent
I feel judged :<
Your nick is fine.
Parent
Hell, I break rule #1 twice, still, I don't feel like a retard.
im soooo guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuud :D
Damn, our community seems to be retarded
Wow man. You named most of our community retarded. :C
I broke 1 and 4.
Without having to say it directly !
Parent
Quite sneaky.
Parent
Xk1lL3rrrjiX[PL] reporting in
I'm cool :)
well I guess it's time to go back to my roots and rename to xperia again, which makes me look small and im not because I'm a god these days. Who are you to judge god, son?

I win
tried to be cool: failed
1+4

I don't need anyone to verify how cool I am because I know it already.
Parent
How to spot a true retard, see if he makes a journal called "How to spot a retard without speaking a word." and then starts about using ramdom things in a random online nickname which (I guess for most people) is made up when you are around 12-14 years old. And when you're a kid it's a cool thing to write your name with random chars.
I'm not in the list!
seareal, unforgiven.

Where is your god now?
You could also add people whose nick has no capital letter on the first letter.
Could do although this is a lot less common. And if it does it usually goes in combination with one of the others mentioned.
Parent
Always knew i was not a retard
Mark, I will kill you.
Yours is at the end of your name so it isn't that bad :)
Parent
Well if you mean end of the nick, by middle for the 4th rule i bet you still don't make any sense ...
thanks for cutting me out :D

i think it's about aesthetics, there're some names (mentioned from other players already) which look better with a capital letter inbetween or at the end. examples are capital N, S, A (well, A not in the middle pls). there are also some examples which suck when being capital like F, J, Q. so feruS is the most aesthetic looking name i have read so far.
I agree that having a capital letter at the _end_ of your nickname might work regarding aesthetics but not smack in the middle.
Parent
Sorry but seeing anyone using capital A in middle of nick, is automatically retarded for me ( not counting mAx and mAus ), just these randoms which thinks that having the A in middle of their nick makes them pro.
Parent
edited.
yes, i forgot about not putting it into the middle.
Parent
well fuck
Cpt. retard reporting for duty!
thanks for this guide, if i see someone that is retarded then lets beat him up
oh noes... everything is ruined now.
this is the end of the internet, please turn and go back.

M-M-M-M-MULTI RETARD
you must be the biggest retard for making such a journal, made me laugh though and who ever agrees with this needs to go see a doctor and take roach with you.
zaNc instead of Zanc because it looks way way better. z because its just a nickname
Edit: Gonna rename to z4Ncjiii
dR. m0therfuCk3R ,=- (no sound, listening to dubstep) (new config) (ballmouse) (broken keyboard) (no legs)
My nick is Snatch okay?
Haha :D
I played with so many players violating your rules and I know that they are not retarded, which leads me to the question, what your urge had been to write such things?
Maybe because one who possess this attribute is not capable of knowing he/she or someone else does.
Parent
you cannot imply on your implication

edit: but nevertheless, I think you did a good job as troll. many ppl replied and got mad about you.

well done!
Parent
Combined power of all seriousness and trolling combined.
