== Information ==
=== History ===
He was was quite active on Google+, especially in a group called TMU, where was an admin. This group was for "mappers," folks who enjoyed creating historical map animations. During his time there, he got to know Goktug14, ITurkishMapping, and Future. Besides Google+, he was also a part of the AoC2 forums, where he crossed paths with Lonathan and Doodlate. In another online space, he met Omino Sentenzioso. He had also met Omino Sentenzioso in another server. Shortly after, in September 11, 2019, he was invited to PtR. In the beginning, he was pretty active, but life got busier, and he ended up dropping by only occasionally, leaving a few messages every few months. However, around 2022, he began checking the PtR server at least once a week. By 2023, he had become an active user.
=== Usernames ===
When Patlichan first started on Google+ in 2016, he went by the usernames "Eskişehirli Mapper" and "OldCity." This is a reference to the city his grandfather was from. In 2018, he changed it to "Circassian Kavkaz," which was also his nickname on the AoC2 forums. Then, in 2019, he switched to "Patlichan." This name is a bit of a play on words, it rhymes with his real name, and it's a twist on the word for "eggplant" in Circassian and Turkish. So, over the years, he went through a few username changes, each one reflecting a different aspect of his identity or just something he found interesting.
