Name Changing and 2nd Acct's
« on: February 28, 2003, 02:41:42 AM »
OK I want to know the deal here. There are 5000 some odd people flying Aces high  or is it more like 3000 people but 5000 names? Whats the deal here people. I wont go into the exact names of the people but, why do people change thier name? Are people so ashamed of thier handle due to thier actions or a ability? I have been Natemaw or (N8MAW in AW) since I began flying sims online, which spans back to 11/98. I will always be NateMAW no matter what, even if the MAW is gone. I am proud to wear my badge and proud to be in the group Im with. I see so many name and squad changes in the MA and it makes me wonder why people badmouth the MAW? This isnt about the MAW but honestly people, the MAW have been together since dirt was created and we always will be. 40DOG, Paint, reckless, red, myself, Ice, try2, these are guys who I have been flying with and all of you have been flying with for years, and our names have remained the same. My point is, is all these name changers out there so ashamed of who they are that they cant keep a CPID for more than a month or 2? Submit your thoughts please.
Moooooooooooooooooooo

no idea what you're talking about.

Surrounded by suck and underwhelmed with mediocrity.
I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.

When people sign up, they probably find their top handle choices already taken, so they start trying other handles just to get online quickly.   The handle that finally takes probably isn't one they'd be happy with for very long.

Anyway that's what happened to me.  What kind of a fighter pilot name is "Oboe" anyway?

On name change 3 here. I always tell peeps who I was if I "knew" them before the change. My name isnt really important to me beyond maybe trying to incorp a bat in it.
Of course, I only see what he posts here and what he does in the MA.  I know virtually nothing about the man.  I think its important for people to realize that we don't really know squat about each other.... definately not enough to use words like "hate".

I will select a callsign...fly within the community for a given time...folks get to know me....they begin to idolize me...gifts start arriving at the house.....phone calls at dinner.....requests for speaking engagements at our nations best colleges....it's simply to much to bear, so I change my callsign.

You got a problem with that?

Some guys feel the need to hide their identity.  Either because they made an bellybutton out of themselves with their old identity or because they are just plain sociopaths.

Yeah, I don't like the 2, but what to do... I got over it a long time ago.  It's better than the ol' Aw handle CHNC... just don't call me Chaunce (no offense Chaunce).
