I've noticed a rash of gameid changes lately... not the ususal numbers guy changes but notorious players... I don't want to name names cmustard but I count 3 for you in the last two tours. What's up with that? And what are these guys hiding from? (if indeed they are hiding) Is there some sort of witness protection program going on here?
Here's a hint to a certian individual that last night on 200 typed that he lived near the "Moscow border": CHANGE countries when you change gameid's.

*Grabs kittens and runs* :uhoh

I'm just here to fly, protect my sheep and have fun like every other person not PNG'd here....

Not Really any overlap in the kills for F4UJunky ---> Crypto1
F4U last kills were between 15th and 21st
Crypto First kills were between 15th and 21st
coincidence :noid :noid :noid

I've heard Crypto1 talk on Vox, he doesnt sound anything like F4UJunky or CMustard, But thanks, I'll keep my eye on him.

Here's a hint to a certian individual that last night on 200 typed that he lived near the "Moscow border": CHANGE countries when you change gameid's.
Over the years, I've changed my game ID a few times since I started playing.
First was because I joined a squad where the CO's handle sounded phonetically so close to my handle that it caused mass confusion. I changed it again probably 6 months later to accommodate putting the squadron's initials into my handle. We then reformed the squad using different initials so I change it again.
I then changed it again after leaving that squad.
My last old handle was Shamroc - but I decided to change it this year because a newer player - AAshamrk - was using "my name" and it was causing a lot of confusion because we flew a lot of co missions on the same country.
Having changed my ID several times, the thought of changing it again to avoid confusion wasn't really a big scary thing - so I switched my name to Slamfire. I dunno - once you do it a few times it's kind of refreshing every now & then. I also could care less about perks - I fly a perk plane about once a quarter - usually a C-Hog.
So nothing nefarious :)
-
I've changed twice. Whatever my old name was to FBmensa, and that to Mensa.
I hope no one discovers my deep dark past as an FB. :uhoh

I've been hearing something about shade accounts and such scorings.
Some day(s) ago I was bombing a field, and an enemy upped and went for me. There was a friendly nearby who engaged, never fired a shot, seemed to have no effect on the enemy flight pattern, and made it completely impossible to get a shot at the enemy from the tailgun, since they were practically overlapping each other.
2 possibilities...either an idiot/greenhorn or a cheater/shader.

My name took days of contemplation to come up with so I wouldn't consider changing it.

Thank Goodness my name is so odd , there ain't many of us around ( Curnutte ) or to folks that know me Nutte , won't change it .

Anyone know what shade account Cmustard is hiding under now?

F4uJunky is Cmustard, at least till he figures out everyone already knows this and changes his name... AGAIN.

I will tell you why , some people have developed a bad reputation on the game. Then people like you come in and ask silly questions to them ; If you know a shades a shade , let him be , he's a shade for a good reason. If someone wants to completely start all over and try better then next time whats wrong with that? You all talk about shades like its a bad thing. Leave them alone , I happend to know 4 shades , do I go around telling everyone ??? Of coarse not , that is ridiculously inconsiderate. Everyone does something for a reason and that means they have a reason. You shouldnt ruin there fun in the game with these kind of posts.And until you understand that , I have no respect for you.

And you are....who? :cool:

There it is in a nutshell. If your a honest upright, decent person, and you treat people with respect and courtesy you have no need to change your name.
However it has become fashionable to be rather the opposite. Then change your name when life gets too hot.
There are a few exceptions, Bighorn/barbossa/ etc, etc etc just seems to like taking a break, and coming back with a clean name. However if you see him flying a 109 down low stall fighting you pretty quickly figure out who it is. He has a distinctive "style" all his own. :)

That's a fair point, and one that I've used too. Very few people know who I was "primarily" in AW, mainly because when I started there I was a 14 year old jerk and wanted to start fresh and more mature here, without spending half my time saying "sorry 'bout back then"...
Still, it's worth noting that it's not very hard for people to recognize familiar styles & attitudes. If nothing changes, the same people who were the shades friends in past times will be their friends now, and the same people that didn't like them still won't.
It's also worth considering that there's a few well-respected members of this community who started off despised, and vice versa, without ever needing to change identities.

I agree

My name took days of contemplation to come up with so I wouldn't consider changing it.
And here I thought that most folks already had their choices for the baby's name picked out before the big day... {grin}

This is my point exactly why must any one even Mustard change his name. He is a good fighter and his tactics are good but his taunts and constant know it all chatter get to people. As he ages he will notice this and I am sure he will change.
Don't keep switching Names, stay who you are because there are things you do that will give you away every time.

Maybe I just did a sucky job at trying to hide? ;)
But seriously, after name change I actually did hide for a tour. Was a refreshing experience flying peacefully without all that fuss in LW arena. Players that despise me suddenly cheered at some kills "Nice shot mate!" instead of "Weak pick, you tard", no rather embarrassing WTG's on two landed kills in La-7s, no arguments about what I fly, no one trying some idle smalltalks with me ;)
Contrary, but even more fun was the EW arena. Of course nobody there believed I was a n00b when I was quickly kicking around most (not all!) of the "opposition" there. Of course they quickly figured out that I had to be ROCKIES and was accordingly insulted each day :rofl

Changing handles does very little hide your old identity - remember, your voice sounds exactly the same. I literally know 100s of players just by their voices.

The last time you could have seen Lusche in EW was in tour 97, (Februray)
-
Name changes happen for a few reasons I suppose and all depending on the person.
Maybe like Lusche, some just wanted a change.
Some may have had accounts banned for behavior or hak'ing.
and still others because they wanted to start over with a fresh set of rules for themselves trying to hide from who they were. :furious :cry :cry :cry :rolleyes: :mad: :t
These are all possible answers to the question without hearing the truth from the players themselves.
