Masherbrum, glad to hear your buddy is well, great story.  Your name is one I really was wondering about (LOVE the Pink Floyd avatar!).  Never heard of the Masherbrum Mountains before.

Scotch, I get it, you're Scottish, but, do you have a favorite beverage I wonder?

Hmmm... obviously I was trying to be cool and have a name that would skeeer you guys.  :lol  :devil

I added the "90" to the end because my 3 (current and 2 previous) race cars have always been #90.

When ever a game I was playing asked for a "name" I always typed in Maddog Joe. When I started in Air Warrior that was too many letters, and Maddog was taken so I became MDJOE. From 1996 when I started in AW through when EA killed it and I moved here to Aces High I had that name and was in pretty much only one squad, the 444th Air Mafia. In late 2004 I left the Mafia and took a break. When I came back in 2005 I came back as "The Fugitive", because we all know there is no "leaving the Mafia"  :D

It is my job to protect my people from they're karma, thus forcing them to live long and healthy lives.


You can kill someone, and then karma try's to lay you that blow in retaliation for your actions, but i will be there to stop it, again..and again..and again.


my brother was a sniper in most games, i had the duty of defending his position, long story short i would take bullet rounds to make sure he would survive to the end of the match round. (Action quake2) All while he was slinging his own death out, for almost 3 years we were close to unstopable.
Good times great memory's, the names always stuck, and anyone who's ever been in my area in aces high knows im like a freggin' flying awacs when it comes to tending over my countrymen.

SA first, wings second, guns third.

Im here to keep you alive, but i cant do my job if your dead.

I wanted you to know that you got shot down by a girl... but I didn't want all of the provocative stuff, so I made sure Mom was in there so it would be apparent that the kitchen is closed. :)

PFactorDave on the forums, PFactorD in game...  I've always loved all things related with military aviation, as long as they are prop driven.  I have little to no interest in jet aircraft...  So I chose PFactor...

my name is betty on the bbs and betty in the game.

the name is nothing special. its actually my real name hehe. i guess i just lack the imagination to come up with a good screen name :)

I know what you mean.  I chose the name John, because, well, my real name is John and it would be easy to remember.  Most people seem to be able to pronunce it, etc.

I use to be Psycho23 when I first started b/c all my friends said I was psycho. Then I joined (+)precision and changed my name to LCCajun b/c I live in Lake Charles, Louisiana. I then switched to A8Cajun when I was with the Aces & 8's. And now I am LCCajuun again.
