So is SHawk's name just "Hawk" with a lisp?

The S stands for his first name, and the Hawk, is literally his last name.  His first name is Sheila.

Well i had a couple of name that were instantly banned which I can name here due to PNG awareness. But the funniest was Mindtoejam which lasted 3 whole hours. Other than that who name themselves after a dangerous playtoy???

My name is not stupid, just dead sexy.  Wild and crazy things can happen under the blanket...

I've been seeing a lot of people lately with really stupid names. They just lack creativity and originality. I think that the worst of them by far is Player1, I mean seriously, who the hell names themselves Player1?

I miss ole Dogfart!

I thought his name was pooooft

In Airwarrior I once had the handle of  "PORNO"
But someoe complained because he didnt think he should have to explain what "porno" was.

Guess that father though the kid was better off learning what it was in the school yard or by way of hidden magazines in the back of the closet.

Never understood the argument "Why should I have to explain to my child....." Or "I shouldnt have to"

Ummm how about because you are their parent?
And yea ya should have to.  Having to explain things however uncomfortable kinda comes with the job

Perhaps it is not the explaining but rather the timing.  Say you have 3 kids, 5, 10 and 15 years old.  You going to sit them all in a room and have a sex education / awareness talk with them or are you going to do that at a time that is more appropriate?  I don't think having that chat with a 5 year old is appropriate.

We invite these games into our homes and as such it is hard to filter the input to our kids at a time that is appropriate.  It is a live feed that they get right there and then.  That is why we should keep names 'family friendly'.  Not to avoid having the conversation but in an attempt to have that conversation at the right time in their lives.

Ok ok ok in all seriousness...

This little fella is the origin of my Crustacean persona...



His name is Shrimpy

Shrimpy just turned 18 years old "counting from when I got him". Yes 18 years...

For a crab, he is very intelligent, as loyal as a dog, and can actually be playful and affectionate. "Now is he just crazy"
EVERY single night when I come home from work he will wait for me in the same spots either next to my bed or computer. When I am sitting at the computer watching or playing he will come to the very corner and literally watch the screen. "Not joking" and similarly if I am eating something I usually share some with him and he will happily start eating it no questions asked. "Hermit crabs tend to retreat or withdraw in submission when you enter their space then investigate food later"

He also likes to finger-wrestle. Sometimes you can tell he wants attention and I will just put my hand in the tank and he will wrestle my finger with his forward claws... No pinching or grasping, just a little pushing around it's quite hilarious.

And just in case you didn't think my story is crazy enough, then you'll enjoy this last bit.

I had family borrow my computer one day, and I happened to be in the next room. She began to do what she needed to do then there was this LOUD sound. It sounded like a elephant. I came into the room only to find Shrimpy agressively clawing and actually charging the corner next to my computer to whom he considered a intruder... Shrimpy was literally ANGRY. He must have felt his or his master's territory was being threatened. To this day, I ponder the events of that day...

Fun fact, that is also the origin of my BWAHHH you hear on range/vox - that is the sound he made.

Hope ya enjoyed my little back-story

Moral grandstanding.

If you ever talk to this man on the phone, don't use any swear words because he might have you on speakerphone and would then have to explain the conversation to children who have never heard a swear word before.

Good to see you are still around morph!
You being one of my first bellybutton kickers in this game that taught me quite a bit about ACM and out turning planes that generally are suppose to turn better. I agree with you, I've never actually had the chance to fly real planes. But because of this game, I know so much about ACM and tactics that I'm pretty sure I could perform them in a real plane givin a chance to learn the control surfaces of the planes first. This game is different than most because you can actually perform the tactics in real life in most planes, and considering the size of the community and the squad aspect of it you can make real life friends from it which is pretty neat.

I am a real life flight instructor and this game matches real life flying about like pissing on a fence does.  Does not even come close to simulating real life flying. Most of what people here call good ACM would not be possible in real life.
