I am possibly the most intelligent life form known to mankind.

Mensa180..... 180 degrees is the opposite direction. Does that mean that you are the opposite of Mensa and possibly the least intelligent form of life?

Hahah, just kidding mate. TwentyFo has that title.  :rofl :lol



Myself.... Archaius is a derrivative of 'archaic' which just means 'old'. I've always felt older than I am. If I described my idea of a perfect week you'd be forgiven for thinking I am two decades older than I am. My mother goes out and socialises more than I do.

I am a bitter, reclusive bastid.  :aok

What chapter? I'm a member of the Boston chapter. Do you ever go to any of the gatherings?




I have absolutely no real reason why I use the name Fugita, other than the fact that it's a completely opposite description of me. Actually I am going to change it when I return to the game in a couple of weeks. Here's an idea. Let's have a contest to give me a new name. :aok

I choose my name because I take my cartoon life in AH so seriously.

Well, originally my name was +Dizy back in Airwarrior when I flew with the ^Nomads^. AH wouldn't allow +Dizy, so I choose something else and finally settled on the name you see now.

The +Dizy name originated because of my fear of heights, I still get vertigo when I look up at skyscrapers. This doesn't occur when I've had 'rides', even aerobatics in a T6.

If that's the case then I should change my name to "rental" :D

Mine came from the Horse Clan series of science fiction books. Thought the name might help since Milo couldn't die, but it didn't help. :D

I've changed my name to bait, since my squaddies can't get their own kills.  ;)

DMBEAR came form being in the Drunken Monkeys and my first name, Ted.  Also, my family called me Boogie Bear  :o

Around Nov/Dec I joined I/JG2 Richthofen and was asked to start up III/JG2.  I found a pilot in the Actual WWII squad names Hans "Assi" Hahn who was an ace on both fronts.  From what I read, he was a challenge to the Russians while he was a prisoner until 1955. :devil  I still haven't heard how he got the nickname, and I would like to know if anyone can advise.

"Assi" also makes people laugh for obvious reasons, and those interpretations fit me just as well.

I will do a bit of reserch and find out where the ASSI name derived from. I collect autographs and have a number of hahn autographs in my collection. I never really gave it much thought as to what Assi was.

I remember seeing this picture link and thought it was cool, even though I didn't know who this Enker person was. After research I came across this and thought the background was empty enough that I could make it my own. Then, Enker just became who I am. Still though, sometimes, the in-game pronunciations are either correct or sound like banana. :(

The names I wanted that I could come up with before I ran out of patience were taken. It was a moot point anyway, who cares what your name is on an online game?

Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.
