Behind the Name NyxxiePixie


NYXXIE (AKA NyxxiePixie)
Name: Lauren
How old are you?: 24 years young.
Where are you from?: New York City, New York USA
Why did you chose this as your name?: Nyxxie was chosen when I was a little kid. I called every doll I had or every Barbie I had "Nyx." I added "XIE" to the end because it sounded cuter. NyxxiePixie was chosen after Chr1s told me to!
What were your prior names, as far back as you can remember?: Past Rounds; LMS, LaurenMarie, LaurenMarieSoprano. This Round; Nyxxie, NyxxieV2, NyxxieV4 (I skipped V3 because I can't count... obviously), Nyx, MissNyxxie, MissNyx, MsNyxxie, LadyNyxxie, MadamNyxxie, NyxXxie.
Random Question: What is your current favorite TV show?: Ahh, I have so many! Heroes, House, Real World, CSI: NY, One Tree Hill, Las Vegas, Grey's Anatomy, How I Met Your Mother, Nip/Tuck, and 'Til Death are all the shows I watch. I know, I watch A LOT of TV.

AIR
Name: Not sure if I wanna say. (Kept it quiet all this time!)
How old are you?: 18
Where are you from?: South East London, UK
Why did you chose this as your name?: Back in my earlier days I wanted to have something different and pretty pointless. So after my first reset I came up with the idea of being 'Air'. Pretty random and had no desire to think about it.
What were your prior names, as far back as you can remember?: Physco, Air, Nobody (Beginning of this round) Unforeseen and can't remember the reset. Only a couple more until I made Mod and got my old name back.
Random Question: Where would we see you and what would we see you doing on a Friday or Saturday night?: Heh, depends. If enough mates are up for it, clubbing. Sometimes down the pub or on a Thursday night (although they're closed now), it would've been Rock Night!

JUSTDREW
Name: Drew
How old are you?: 23
Where are you from?: Charleston, South Carolina, USA
Why did you choose this as your name?: After a rough breakup, I was at a bar with some friends. They were giving me the whole "cowboy up" speech and I made a drunken comment that I was nothing special and that I was just Drew. It became a joke so I brought it here.
What were your prior names, as far back as you can remember?: Through the first couple of rounds it was Deuce, Alabamadeuce, IceDeuce os some variation of Deuce. This round I've used Deuce and DejaVu already.
Random Question: What is the hardest part about being an HDO and why?: The hardest part without a doubt, is the criticism that comes with the job. You are always in the public eye and with that will come a lot of positive and negative feedback, most of which is negative. Players are always waiting to call you out about something you have said or even accuse you of not playing fairly for the way you do your job. At the end of the day, the satisfaction that comes from hearing one player say thank you makes it all worth it.

CAVUVII
Name: Chapman
How old are you?: 14
Where are you from?: USA
Why did you chose this as your name?: To be honest, I played magic the gathering, and there was the Kavu, but I didn't like the letter 'k'. Also I happened to randomly type 'cavu' into Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2.
What were your prior names, as far back as you can remember?: cavudog, XxXxXcavudogXxXxX, Silenc3, Propaganda, Cavudog, MrCavudog, and a few others.
Random Question: What is your favorite site to go to beside Bootleggers and why?: Probably Facebook. Because all my friends have it and I never have anything to do otherwise on my computer than to play this and go and talk to my real life friends.

REFUGEE
Name: Matic
How old are you?: 19
Where are you from?: Slovenia, but currently living in Cambridge, England.
Why did you chose this as your name?: I was listening to this song, and it had refugee in the title.
What were your prior names, as far back as you can remember?: B0By, B0ByV1, RebornB0By, Riserva, Vetranio, Magnentius... I could go on for a while.
Random Question: What is your favorite alcoholic drink, how do you make it and why do you like it?: I have two. Corona and Canadian Club. You make them very easy, open the bottle and drink. I like them because of the taste.

TRIPPY
Name: Harun.

MIKAVERLETH
Name: Coen
How old are you?: 17
Where are you from?: Holland
Why did you chose this as your name?: Well, basically I got my name from a character out of a book written by Darren Shan. The person is a somewhat mysterious vampire that is always dressed in black. He's a bit quiet but has a good sense of justice and what's right. I liked the character so I decided to use his name. It also fitted in line as my previous accounted was named Mika.
What were your prior names, as far back as you can remember?: From start till now: whitestar, Arda and Mika
Random Question: Whats the best thing about being on the Buzz team and why?: Hmm, hard question. I like a lot of things about being on the Buzz team. I think the best thing is being able to inform the Bootleggers community of what has happened because it also gives me the information and enables me to stay up to date as well. And of course the writing, I really love the writing. As all the writers do I'm sure.

Random Question: If you can live anywhere in the universe, where would it be and why?: I'd probably have to stay on Earth, probably somewhere in America.
