I've been with Aces High for about 2 months now and I find the forums can be almost as much fun as the game.

Im always afraid the game will start to suck as much as the forums.

This is great guys and gals, keep em coming.  I really do think that when we're done though we should all pool our resources to try and help Steve find his roots!

I was Tordon22, which is a powerful herbicide. Then I wanted to change my name to what they call me on squad vox, but there was a profanity issue or something. So I just went with something short and sweet. Zap!

I created 4chan and made #1 on TIME's "most influential" list.

Anyone who has even been to 4chan should know that is kinda sad... at the same time hilarious.

In Game - Karaya.    "Karaya-One" was Hartmann's call sign.   

BBS name is a little bit more complicated.   

Masherbrum - Masherbrum is a mountain that lies within the "Masherbrum Mountains", which is a subgroup of the Karakoram (K2). My buddy Erich (since 7th grade) and I were planning on going into Alpine Ascents International in the Summer of 98. This mountain was picked a few years prior. In Dec of 1997, he was in a car accident and was in a coma for a month. I flew out to Portland (Tigard) in Jan of 98. He already knew he was the best man at my wedding. The wife and I decided he wouldn't be replaced and the rings would be given to the Pastor, had he been not able to attend. But, he re-learned to walk, and move again by the time our wedding rolled around. I shelved climbing altogether in 1998, because it wasn't "fun anymore" because of this.   He's fine now, except a fused right ankle with a very slight limp.   I know what Morpheus's family is going through right now and it brought this back up.

  Original Name was PopPop as that was what my Grandson called me and loved to shoot the Tank guns at buildings. Changed it when I got disconnected when my Credit card info changed. Wanted a good name (Not number) that was simple and easily said. I have trouble clearing the 6 on some when I can't read thier name or have to say: "uh 700021331 watch that spit".   :huh
