History

Paul Branson, (born October 1, 1978, male), was the founder of the basis of the nickname. In 1996, he was accused of murdering his family, charged first-degree murder in Mississippi. While he was in prison, his roommate told him of different, varied stories that origins from a single word, namely "motami" ("Word Friend" in French). Paul wrote the stories down on a piece of cloth torn from his shirt with food stains.

On April 4, 2005, his roommate was taken away and transferred to Oklahoma State Reformatory. Paul found a piece of paper under his roommate's bed, stating that he had promised to someone whom he trusted to spread the stories around.

Paul was released from the Mississippi State Penitentiary on June 16, 2005. While playing Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos with a laptop found in the prison, he discovers a way to give his messages out to others at home.

He hacked into his neighbor's Battle.net account, and took his role in the /emote feature used in Battle.net. There, he made many messages containing the source of idealistic imaginations.

An unknown teenager, who resides in Hsichih City, Taipei, Taiwan, who also plays Warcraft 3, saw the /emote messages in the Public Chat room. The teenager sent an email to the recipient claiming that it wishes "for the knowledge based on your errors". Branson himself noticed the mail after logging out Battle.net, and realized the sender was what he was hoping for a successor.

He replied to the email ending with the signature, "Word Friend". He also included all the stories his roommate told him within the email, and wishes the teenager good luck.
