Okay, he flew WB's offline for the last 1.5 years, then, last week, I let him fly the F4U-1C in the TA, and without any help from dad (I helped on rudders taking off only, then, took my feet of the rudders once airborne)..he proceeded to shoot down 3 A/C within 5 mins. in 1 sortie. He's 4 years old. He'll be 5 years old the end of the month. I promised him an account after this summer is out, around Sept. He's got a new computer with Aces High on it, and flying it every chance he gets offline.
Now, we need to come up with a good name for him. His nickname in real life is either:
G-man or Gordo, both handles taken already in the game.
I open to suggestions. My entry is 'RipShort', but when he's 6'4" tall one day, it won't apply, so, help me, suggestions?
Pick up any WW2 book, open the page, point to A/C on that page, he'll tell you what it is. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Incidently, I'm a very proud father if you cannot tell. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

What does Mrs. Ripsnort say about him playing? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Anyway, how about Tronspir (Ripsnort backwards)
-
Hehe, I used Tronspir in Confirmed Kill (Warbirds in beta, when you could have mulitple accounts)...I like it! Maybe Tron for short...
Wife doesn't mind as long as we all 'take care of our other stuff' first.

I asked my little girl who just turned 6 years old what handle she would choose if she could. She said either Charmander or Mewtwo, who I guess are heavy hitters in the Pokemon world...

Hey, I just looked at Websters for a synonym of Ripsnorter in their thesaurus...it came back with a few, two of which were JimDandy & Dinger. I've seen a lot of posts lately by JimDandy, and Dinger was the opposing Tank commander to Ripsnort in Afrika Corps. Did Rip & Dinger ever meet face to face in any tank battle? I smell a conspiracy!
Others were Corker, Crackerjack, Daisy, Dandy & Lulu.
Put my vote in for Lulu! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

...or just say the word, and we'll give our Gordo the boot so the real one can take his place!

So in about 8 months this kid will be in school and for his first "show n tell" day he can hold up the Aces High Pilot Roster and say,
"I got 'em all, except for Sunchaser, that guy is good and those laser cannon on his B17 are uber!"
Cool.
How 'bout
"Grip"
"JEEMAN"
or
"HeyMomIgotCitabriabuthesaidIw aswarpinbad"
Oops, too many letters in that one.
"Minigunr"
"Gotcha"
"Dvestatr"
"Youngun"
How about a pic Rip?

When did they put this thing in here and WTF is it for?

Snork ??
I'm about a year behind you Ripsnort. My 3 1/2 yr old is bored with AW on his PC and wants me to put AH on his - I think it has more to do with him wanting to play what "Daddy" plays on the PC than anything else.
It would be a hoot to see these guys fly off against each other a few years down the road. I wonder who else has kids this age (3-5) doing likewise??

"Ripspawn" LOL
How about "TheKid"
-
LOL, I knew this post would be entertaining! Thks for the laughs...
Westy: That's exactly why WB's grew old in the tooth with Gman, he wants to play what daddy's playing... (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
In regards to suggestions..I don't think he wants to be 'related' in anyway to my handle (Do you blame him??) ...
Picture? Here's one of him helping me set up his play area last year, don't have an updated one (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)...his 2 yr old brother got his old P200 computer, and is clicking along with Teletubbies software, Reilly won't be far behind I'm sure!

Boojum.
Because its bad when the Snark that you are hunting, e.g. a newbie, turns out to be a Boojum, e.g. a skilled flyer.
The warning:
'But oh, beamish nephew, beware of the day, If your Snark be a Boojum! For then You will softly and suddenly vanish away, And never be met with again!'
The ending:
'For The Snark WAS A Boojum, You See!'
This from Lewis Carrol.

i thikn i that you have some really good nick names above, but maybe you 'll like that one:
Gniewko
it's a Polish variation of name Gniewomir (Gniewko is used by kids) it's hard to expain that name ot english, but it's something like Angry one (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
-
Well, all very good names, I think Bike killa's name might fight, last night I sat slack-jawed as he was shooting down drones, he stated "I'm gonna smoke his ass!"...guess I need to watch my language! LOL !

How about Rip-u-up?

And Rip says the Hog C shouldnt be perked...
Kid is definatly over modeled...
-
Uh Rip, SOB's on to us, err. me.
Dunno Rip, a callsign's pretty darn important. Even if here the person gets to pick his own, I personally believe they've got to be earned in some way.
Try this:
give him an ma sortie and invite names.
Then have a "baptism ceremony" involving the volcano.
-
hehe Rip if ya liked Gniewko i think i found another variation of Polish name:
Gromek (for a kid)
it's a variation of name Gromoslaw. Gromoslaw can be translated to English it that way - Master of Thunders (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
maybe you'll like this one too
-
i forgot to add...Gromek can be translated as "little thunder" (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
