When I first joined Air Warrior Radcam was my first choice, and had been left on many vidoe game machines in arcades across the west, but it was already taken and every name I tried after that was unavailable.

As I remember it you had to pick a handle and a cpid. and after a while I came up with splatter as my handle since that was what I seemed to do most often, but it was too long to be my cpid so I tried sick1 e.g. splatter ewww sick1 but sick1 was taken. Then basically out of desperation ( I really wanted too get my fighter pile-it career going now) I typed in SIK1, it wasn't being used and that's been my  handle ever since.

A lot of folks online thinks it's Bill Murray's character from the movie Ghost Busters, but it's not. His name was Peter Venkman.  18 years ago I came to work for a company that has cubicles, and ID badges. Every cubicle has a name plate on the outside so people can find in the cubicle rat maze. The guy in charge of ordering cubicle nameplates, and ID badges was an old guy who was about as sharp as the blunt end of a banana. When all my IDs arrive, the "e" in missing from Vince so everyone thinks my name is Vinc, and they start pronouncing it VinK. Of course it stuck and despite spelling corrections that quickly followed, for 18 years everyone has called me Vink. Some then nicknamed the nickname and call me Vink-man...like Ice-man, or Bat-man I suppose.

On-line check six calls are always interesting. "Viking check six", or "Vikeman, check six"     

But I'm just happy to get a check <S> and figure as often as I get poached, if the name has a V and a K in it, I just break.  :D

Good thread by the way.  :aok

I was playing FA as ReapALL and moved to AH in late 1999 or 2000. I played AH as ReapALL till one weekend, I got up early Saturday or Sunday planning on playing all day and night. I was at my height of my AH addiction!

I could not login, I tried everything, but to no avail. I was jittery and pissed, could not figure out what was wrong, nothing worked, no password email nothing. It was the weekend, the office was closed. I started cussing up a storm, I could not login to get some kills! So I thought screw it, I will start a new account for the weekend and get it straightened out later the next week.

Well I kept trying out names, of course all of the names I tried were already taken. I was already pissed from being denied my fix!  I kept cussing more and more as I tried more names. I was getting really vulgar, then it hit me, vulgar, and it worked! I was up in the air in no time getting my fix!

I planned on getting my old name back, but after a few days, I kinda liked my new name. My GF and her friends said it was more fitting for me, since I cuss so much! Yes I woke my GF up that morning cussing so loud, she asked me later what I was cussing about so early in the morning!

I don't remember what I used when I played AW. Too long in the past and somethings are better left uncovered I would imagine and I know I used the same name from AW in Warbirds.

When I joined up in Fighter Ace back in 1999 I joined as Six. That became LJK_Six when I joined up with LuftJagerKorps (LJK) in FA since I was the 6th person to join up coincidentally. Then I switched over to LJK_Reschke because I had always liked the little LW oberfeldwebel who flew with Geschwaderstab JG301. I was a numbers dude in my time in the AH Beta at that point. Then when LJK made the switch I had to change my name to LJKResch. When LJK closed up shop and I started VF-17 back in September of 2002 I changed my name to Reschke to make it simpler and its been that way ever since.

Although I am thinking it might be time for a new name...who knows what it will end up as.

Back in the 1960s I was a long-haired redhead and the first (and only) student to grow a beard at my grammar school. A humourous schoolmate, a son of one of the old Kenya colonials, decided to call me by the Swahili word for lion - Simba - and it stuck. Now, I'm getting old 'n' the hair's turning white, but I've still got the beard and I'll continue to

ROOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRR RRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How many years were you held back?   :D
