How'd you get your game ID?

[Dace]

When I first subscribed way back when, I was in the middle of a good book called "War At Sea" by Nathan Miller and had just read of some of the exploits of the sister ships USS Darter and USS Dace. Actually tried Darter first but someone had it already.

[The Fugitive]

When I played games and it asked for a name I always put Maddog, or Maddog Joe. When I signed up for Air Warrior Maddog was taken and Maddog Joe was too long, so I use MDJOE. I joined the 444th Air Mafia and was with them for years. I was CO of the squad when AW was axed, and I dragged as many mobsters to AH as I could. After a few years here I decided it was time to step down and let someone else lead for a bit. After a while I felt I was in the way, kinda like a second CO, so I figured for both me and the squad I would leave and take a break. A month later I was ready to come back  but I didn't want to get in the way, so it was time for a new name.

The saying in the "Mob" is "there is only one way to leave the mob, in a pine box", so I went under cover and became the Fugitive. Most call me "Fugi" now, so I'm either a Japanese film company, or a character from the old show "McHale's Navy" 

[MajWoody]

My name actually came from an episode of Beavis and Butthead.

[Wobbly]

Was thinking of a word that had Limey in it, me being a Brit, then blimey is a an expression used here "Gor Blimey Guvnor!" as an expression of surprise, so as I generally have not much idea whats going on I thought it was apt.

[WarSix]

Was Osprey in Warbirds but had a whole dang squadron of ospreys in AH:)
Took up my oldest son's callsign from his 2004 TOD in Iraq as War Platoon leader 82nd Combat Eng Big Red One - WAR6.
Changed number to letters. War6 had been retired due to disbanding of 82nd.
Will become Thunder6 after he returns from his upcoming deployment to Afghanistan as CO of the mighty 510th Clearance Company.
Thanks to the Army for assigning such good callsigns that work well in AH:).

[coola4me]

Did a research paper in college on North American native Indians! Came across the Bellacoola Indian tribe in Canada! Their mythology and traditions intrigued me! Decided to use the name coola.

[1701E]

Favorite show is Star Trek and couldn't think of any other name, so i picked (NCC) 1701E.  After a few months I got sick of such uneducated people calling me "numbers guy", so I went with another ship and Excelsior wouldn't fit, thus Xcelsior...worked out perfectly, now no one can pronounce it right.

[saantana]

After signing up to AH I just named myself after my own name, Marek. After some thought and thinking it sounded super uncool I decided to name myself GrndZero.
When I was in my clubbing days, and I would visit Poland I would go to this one club in particular, called "GroundZero". This was the hot spot to be back in the day.
However, I noticed that there was already a player called WingZero (What I then thought was a niki noob). So I thought, heck - I don't want to look like a copy cat.

Now when I was in highschool, I use to be in a band. I was the second guitarist on my Richi Sambora Stratocaster made by Fender (Dads gift for my 16th birthday). We as a band were very close. We played mostly Santanas guitar only pieces as we were lacking talent for a lead vocalist. We would spend late nights in Kuwait (Where I grew up) in basements rocking it on, a lead guitarist (now a RL pilot), me, a base guitarist (who now is a professional musician) and other who came and went. Good times.
So there you have it. The extra A is because when I took the name, Santana was taken.
Wasn't hard to guess now was it?

What I want to know is where did that avatar come from? 

[Nwbie]

Back in Air Warrior.. a long long time ago in a very Mastercard, almost divorce day when we received the 2nd bill....
I would up a plane and start firing at everything in sight..

And, read at the bottom... Hey Newbie!!! Quit shooting at your side, shoot at the Red guys !!!

It stuck

Now, when I do fly, I occasionally shoot at my squaddies for giggles..

[druski85]

Name is Drew, which was shortened down to Dru for online gaming.  Not sure if it was the simplicity that I liked or my sheer laziness, but I mixed it with my love of skiing and got Druski.  Substitute the S with a N and it also applies on a given night. 

Also, Spikes that is sweet.  Props me boy.      Now quit rooting for those saints...

[SPKmes]

   Need I say more

[Becinhu]

My name was actually a name created by a random name generator with another online game.  It bacame ironic when the added emotes to the game, one of which was "beckon".  So it would say X beckons you.  That became the pronunciation of my name in that game. When I came here, since i'm soo original, i kept it.  The guys in my first squad pronounced it "be seeing you" and that stuck here.
