Sov's Crazy Ramblings

I was just asked by Lobster((Rethius)(Ret)) where the name sovhed came from… and let me tell you wow thats a story.. I think its a good idea that I tell you just so you arent wondering and I thought that it would make for an interesting, though maybe not funny read.

It all started one day when I got Battlefield 1942. I had been playing alone happily and decided I wanted to do something else, I downloaded Desert Combat.. at that stage it was in early development.. After a while I met someone called *S*G*Something (can’t remember the name now). They invited me to their clan and I thought “oh what the heck”

I joined, the day after the clan fell apart, not due to me or my choice but the clan leader got bored, as most of the small clans do.. I figured… okay whatever..

A few months later and I had Battlefield Vietnam, an awesome game… I was in operation irving and this asshole called “=SoV=DefineDeath” pwned my ass in an f4 Phantom, napalming me to death with my own plane.. We got talking and he invited me to join the clan he was in.. “Shadows of Vengeance” Cool name I thought, so stamped my name and signed, choosing the game name of  ”=SoV=hEaD_bUsTeR”. Lovely eh?

Over the next 2 and a half years I enjoyed =SoV= life, playing in clan matches, working my way slowly to near the top, eventually providing the teamspeak and game servers for the clan at the start of my hosting company. We saw our way through battlefield 2 and won many battles, but eventually when the release of Battlefield 2142 was nigh we decided enough was enough, we didn’t enjoy BF2142 and we could see that we wouldn’t be doing it for fun. We decided to go our own seperate ways with gaming, leaving the =SoV= clan in the dust of the past, a great era of gaming laid to rest.. a sad day.

Well as you can see, my name is from here, it changed slowly over time, evolved even. I started as “sovHead” in planeshift, then “SovHed” in numerous free games, then eventually WoW, leading us to the present day where my name is SovHed still… I may go by Ephirus on WoW but there is still SovHed inside me.

I purchased this domain about 3 years ago when I first took up the name SovHed and its stuck ever since.

Anyway that is the story of all about how my life got quick turned upside down and i just took a minute to sit right here, and tell you how I became the prince of …wait a minute…

   nuh hu! I’m pretty sure your Sov Hed in PS… actually that reminds me of that time Maulus, you and I were screwing around with the proposal stuffs and I ended up stuck with your last name and had to get a GM to fix it

   But hey other than that, its kinda a cool background story…I never really knew Sov stood for anything. Mine came from random name generator from PS…lol genius huh?

   I also really like how the guys was a total asshole, in yet however you still joined his clan…smart move.

   I also had to re-read the “It all started one day when I got Battlefield 1942. ” cause I swear the first time I read it , it said.. It all started one day when I got Battlefield IN 1942. …and I was thinking uhhh….how old are you again?
