I've noticed a rash of gameid changes lately... not the ususal numbers guy changes but notorious players... I don't want to name names cmustard but I count 3 for you in the last two tours. What's up with that? And what are these guys hiding from? (if indeed they are hiding) Is there some sort of witness protection program going on here?
Here's a hint to a certian individual that last night on 200 typed that he lived near the "Moscow border": CHANGE countries when you change gameid's.
Over the years, I've changed my game ID a few times since I started playing.
First was because I joined a squad where the CO's handle sounded phonetically so close to my handle that it caused mass confusion. I changed it again probably 6 months later to accommodate putting the squadron's initials into my handle. We then reformed the squad using different initials so I change it again.
I then changed it again after leaving that squad.
My last old handle was Shamroc - but I decided to change it this year because a newer player - AAshamrk - was using "my name" and it was causing a lot of confusion because we flew a lot of co missions on the same country.
Having changed my ID several times, the thought of changing it again to avoid confusion wasn't really a big scary thing - so I switched my name to Slamfire. I dunno - once you do it a few times it's kind of refreshing every now & then. I also could care less about perks - I fly a perk plane about once a quarter - usually a C-Hog.
So nothing nefarious
