**UPDATES TO ENLISTMENT GIFTING EVENT:**
To prevent exploitation, we will prevent new Accounts from being able to Gift enlistment crystals. We will also be taking action on those who are using 3rd Party Sellers, Bots and other farms to gift themselves mass amounts of Enlistment Crystals. Lastly, we will be adding an expiration timer to Enlistment Crystals. All unopened Enlistment Crystals will expire on Oct 18 @ 17:00 UTC. For more information, please see this post: https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/346104/updates-to-enlistment-gifting-event
**KNOWN ISSUE**
We have adjusted the node placement of the new AW maps to better allow path traversal. As a result, defender placements have been reset. Please, take a moment to re-place your defender setup. We will be pushing out a message in-game shortly.

What’s the reason behind your username?

    I like hawks, and jock was the first thing I could think of that rhymes with hawk.

    In which accent does 'hawk' rhyme with 'jock'? I've always heard them pronounced as 'hork' and 'jokk'

    may I ask what accent pronounces hawk hork? From the midwest here, so I find that quite strange

    You are an interesting human being. How it’s fun is beyond me. Good for you, I guess.

    I like this thread. Mine comes from my days on Xbox 360 where I really had to come up with something better than “firestorm”.

    I love rock music (It’s my main passion) and panthers are my favourite animal. I figured if I put “Rocky” in the name people would just shorten it to that for convenience. And so it was born

    It genuinely has nothing to do with the “Rocky” films, which I can’t actually stand.

    What’s wrong with firestorm?

    Also, rock music. Nice. I can respect that.

    Maybe hork wasn't quite right - I'm from New Zealand and when I say 'hawk' to myself it sounds a lot like 'or' as in this -or- that. And almost like 'walk' if I'm talking quickly. 'Jock' for me rhymes with 'rock' - it has a very short clipped 'o' sound.

    6 Chris' in my graduating high school class. We all addressed each other by last name. I didn't like being called the flower so much but as I got older loved my last name. I miss my pops everyday... so.. call me LaFleur.

    I used to watch Pokemon on YouTube when I was younger. The first YouTuber I remember was HeroVoltsy, which I liked so much I stole his name and changed the V to a B. Stupid - incredibly stupid - but I haven't come up with anything better since. It's kind of embarrassing, not gonna lie.

    I also watch herovoltsy
    but my in-game name is LilMannySkeetz
    which if u search up u will know what it means

  • RiderofHellRiderofHell Posts: 4,188 ★★★★★
    I chose RiderofHell bc i am a huge fan of GR and the mythology behind it not to mention there have been many riders who served the devil himself hence RiderofHell.

    Also the fact johnny blaze had the courage to stand up to the devil and keep the rider and use it for good instead of serving him.

    Having chosen a stupid name in games couple times, I decided to create my own, that wouldn't be already used and that would sound a bit cool, and well, this is how my username came to life. I just sat down and came up w this.

    Later on, I found out my name is almost exactly the same as the name of this Pokemon, Xerneas:

    However, I was too lazy to change it. Since I play WoW a lot these days, I got couple more self-made names up my sleeves, but I dont see a reason to change my current one.
