Taking Names
« on: April 04, 2023, 02:23:13 PM »
Question: If you played aces high in versions one and two, then come back to the game in version three, would you knowingly take another person's call sign????

My name was taken as soon as I left in 09, then someone else made a similar (Animl1). Why I am Animl-aw on the bb.

I saw the callsign " Hooter " in the 200 chat. Hooter was a GV'er that passed away when we played aces high 2, at least I remember it that way.

Dude was a legendary spawn camper on the knights side.

Wasn't it Hootr? Could be wrong.

In all fairness, there are some names I'm sure are more popular than others, and being crafty with your spelling helps. Heck you only get 8 letters/numbers.

I started as Catfish6 a long time ago. There was a Catfish who flew a few years ago. It happens. I didn't care cuz I was flying under a new name.  If a player does it out of spite than that would be disrespectful and not in good faith.

I think it is more of a respect thing.
