Stoned nickname is bad?

Hi all,

It's been a while that I have been thinking about my nickname "Stoned". You all know to what this refers yet not only I'm not an advocate of recreational drugs, but I go against the propaganda of Mary Jane that I now unfortunately see more and more as this market arise.

When I was starting playing Quake during 2020 pandemic (I actually never played much before and thats why I'm such a noob). I've chosen this nickname because I was actually stoned that day. I couldn't imagine back then that this server and this nickname will become some long-term thing in my life. I was thinking maybe change nickname but it now feels like a part of me :wtf:

So I started worrying time to time that maybe this nickname disturbs other people who go against drugs usage or had hard time quitting.

So let me know what you guys think?

hi :wave: ,

yes you are right this nickname refers to drugs :sick: , and if it does not suit you or no longer then change your nickname, :idea: you can start by using the nickname :arrow: "Rehab" before finding one that you like more and that suits you better ...

However, I do not hold you against using "Stoned" :silent: because we must be tolerant and understanding before judging :think: and many of us have various addictions :crazy: ...

@CTHULHU, I confirm "UnnamedPlayer" is bad :thumbdown: and confusing when there are several :? ...

Hi Stoned

I found another nickname that is closer to Stoned, it's oxytocin

Also called "love hormone" or "happiness hormone", oxytocin is a neuropeptide, ie a combination of amino acids, secreted by some of our neurons.

Oxytocin decreases anxiety and stress, by lowering the secretion of the stress hormone cortisol, especially in social relationships. Studies have shown its positive role in social relationships, self-confidence and in others.

It is also involved in the recognition of faces and emotions. Oxytocin is produced through contacts but also through a quality relationship, through kind looks, smiles, compliments.

best regards

Hey Stoned,

if the nickname remembers you to be stoned regularly then change it. We have other names that could be interpreted as bad propaganda like Putin, Corona, Porsche 😁 but nobody cares about it.
