Title: Call signs
Post by: Elyeh on September 01, 2005, 05:24:19 PM
How many times have you tried to give someone a "check six"
but it took you 30 sec to figure out how to say thier call sign?

Most are easy to say and others I will just wing it.  For those number guys who cant get a name,  I dont even bother saying it on vox and just give the private text check 6.

I love those 8 didget numbers guys.  I make a point of  calling out the whole thing like "34678999 check 6. AWW to late.  Death by syllables":rofl

Why bother alerting anyone to a con acquiring their six? If the friendly moves, he could spoil my gun solution. Can't have that nonsense.

The key is a one sylable name:D

Another one there are issues with is squads with long prefixes....by the time you figure out there are 8 AKs nearby its too late....maybe its not all bad

I did that to a fledgling prefix squad once. All but two of them ditched their bombs and freaked out. :D

And then there's guys like me. There's the possiblities in order of occurance:
1. They call me Ozz and it takes me a second to check if ozrocker's around
2. They don't call it out because they can't figure out if it's OOZ or OZZ.
3. They call me OOZ and I still die.

Many, many times.

It usually goes " hey, uh....... you...uh  < finally go for the check 6 key>....  watch the Spit" as he blows up.

 Then you see xx0N@eT99xx griping on the text buffer about no 6 calls.

All you have to do is just scream really loud into your mic with a falsetto voice. You'll get the enjoyment of ninety people cursing at you AND the guy will live; as long as he doesn't snap spin. Or bleed from the ears. :rofl

I got called "Light F00T" all the time when my moniker was LftF00T...made me very self conscious.

Whats even worse is when you try to manually check the person's six with the ' key and you have to cycle through about 20 friendlies before you get to the right one.   By that time, they are usually dead or dying.

Put the responsability on them,  just say  "everyone in front of me check 6"    or "everyone at my 3oc 6oc 9oc check it"   for sure when all the icons are bunched up ya see 3 letters from each name, in a zig zag motion who knows whos who.  funny stuff      

Yah, some of these name are a duzzie.  Its like!~~   hey a err umm af pffft zerf ilk znm  you  ck 6.    :eek:

Ah well.. having a name instead of a number isnt always better.

I get called scutt, schatt, scatt,shmitt and whatever.... i dont care, usually i know that i have one behind me already anyway. Best is having a bogy on my six and dodging him for like 6 minutes, someone says "check 6". I die laughing more than i get shot down.

Yea I get called FLAY DONE all the time because I forgot to add the E befor the D so it looks like FLAYDone or I used to get called FLOYD...lol  supposed to be FLAYED one. I guess i really should email skuzzy and get it changed to something else maybe FLAYED1.    

  Then there is my wife, hOOtrmma. Guys like to call her hootrman. Guess it's just hard to accept that a woman is flying in a F4U-1 ;)

  Oh and the times that former NMY's come over to your country and it takes a sec for you to realize that their name is in green.
   Once I was like..
 HUB............Yeah HUB chk 6. :p

"Hey numbers guy,  you are about to be killed".


What's worse than the numbers guys are these names:

RuuWgHTr  (I made it up, but you get the idea)

By the time I sound it he is usually dead anyway.

You know we are challenged in here - I get many check 6's that come over as  "Check 6 Talone"  (Long O sound) rather than Talon, like the eagles claw.

I AM NOT FRENCH!

Actually a french would never say "talone" but a sound like the ending of "poisson"
http://french.about.com/library/media/wavs/poisson.wav

To have a "talone" like sound it should be spelled 'talonne" but it won't mean talon (Ankle) any more :D

I try and call one plane, usually a name that I can see ( happens when 12 rooks are after 1 bird :) and then say "and company" and whatever plane is after them.

Numbers guy are hard to call, first part last part and/or keyed check six.

Oh well, such is life.

Good times when I don't know ozrocker's on and someone goes " oz!"

I don't remember names well, so I almost never remember people. Therefor, I back thinking they might be someone I knew before and they're like "Who the hell are you?"
