This may make for an interesting topic, there's alot of game id's out there, share your stories!
I remember when I was real young, 3 or 4 would be my guess...We (father, mother and I) visited my grandparents. One afternoon while my parents were out, I was left alone with my grandfather and grandmother. I was bored, so I went looking for them, as they had stepped out of the room for a few minutes. I heard voices and followed them until I was at the doorway to their bedroom (not a nasty story, I promise). They were arguing about something, and my grandmother was really giving it to my grandfather, calling him every bad name in the book. He just shrugged it off. She then called him "Buster", and that really set him off. Any swear word and bad name you could think of he didn't mind, but as soon as she called him "Buster" he got really upset. I then left their room and went back in the living room. Since then the name has stuck with me.

When I came over from warbirds I tried to keep my ID Addman but apperantly it was taken, as I looked at the ground in dispair, my cat, Phatzo, was sitting there looking at me, so, this is what I have.
BTW this cat bears a remarkable resemblance

I figured me flying a fighter was a gamble...... Shuffler

Hehe... my initials. And now that everyone knows me by them... I am stuck with it. :confused:
-
When I started playing (3 years ago, I was 15 then) I thought that there would be no way to change my name once I picked one, so I wanted a good one (now I know you can just call up HTC and ask for a new one). I couldn't think of any names since every one I tried was taken: Hotshot, Ace, Maverick, etc etc (I was 15 I thought they were cool names :D ). Sitting there thinking I noticed my dads Beer bottle sitting on the table (betcha you can't guess what kind it was! :P ), and saw a name on the back. Never thought once about changing it. :salute

Walter Krupinski
His name caught my attention while reading "The Blond Knight Of Germany"

I started flying warbirds, and they only allowed 6 digits in a name.
Then I took a guess as to how good of a virtual pilot I would be :D
-
Everyone thinks im a truck stop....but its actually simpler than that my name is Jay and in my younger days I was a flight instructor and am an ATP rated pilot...ex motorcycle racer so speed speed speed i was known as Flying Jay..hence Flyinjay

I liked Takeo Spikes when he played for the bills.

Then after my account was "accidentally" deleted (I won't go into the details) I became Coprhead. Not because I like snakes, but because I am a redhead. Though about going back to 5PointOh, but was geting tired of hearing "are you from Five Points Ohio?" :rolleyes:

Got my name from reading a very very good book. I highly recommend this book to those who like Sci-fi. If any of you guys are familiar with Geoffery Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, this book follows a similar format. But the plots in this book will blow your mind away.
-
... yes I named myself after a P2P program, I couldn't think of anything else when I was first asked for a CPID back in the day. So I just went with my favourite P2P program at the time. Of course I got teased a lot by online gamers about my CPID, but it just makes pwning them that much sweeter.
-
I got interested in the 80th Headhunters during a scenario in Airwarrior. When it came time to start the Headhunters in AH I wanted to use the history to find a good ID. Corky Smith was an 80th pilot. His 2nd P38 was a 38G named Corky Jr. There was a nice image of him landing Corky Jr with a single engine. Considering how if I land at all it's usually single engined and broken, my ID became CorkyJr. It seemed the logical choice :)

I got my name after recalling what my dad said their callsigns were when they went downrange. I don't know where the number came from,but it works, although I've had many people ask me where Ruler1 is and others have told me there was a Ruler a long time ago,lol
-
Mine was given to me by a real good friend,its Lakota for dog.I imagine it was given to me because i have a lot of Native American in me and i own three husky's, and would prefer to hang with dogs over people any day.And yes my profile pic is one of my puppers.

Had one of these in my hand when asked for a name.
-
Then I took a guess as to how good of a virtual pilot I would be :D
That's exactly what I had in mind when creating my first ID - "Lusche" is a German term for a sucker, a looser, a weak & unskilled person. But soon I realized that it's a bad ID for a game where 99% of the player base can't pronounce such an easy German word at all :lol
-
My favorite kind of music. I opted for this spelling thinking that "Blues" would probably not be available.
-
I started AH 2-1/2 yrs ago as Kjunflyr, the squad I joined already had a Cajunn. One night there was a lot of confusion as to who people were talking to, him or me. He said "there sure is a lot of coon***es playing AH" so I changed my callsign to coona55(all in caps) as a joke for what he said. Got reported by someone, got muted, and changed to DaCoon. Since I'm from south La., it seemed a pretty good one. Lots of squeekers ask if I got my callsign from South Park but that episode didn't air for about a year after I had already took the name.
Cya "outdere" :salute

Challenged the previous holder of the name to a psychic duel inside the mind of a neutral third party. After breaking down his self image and destroying his hold on reality, I left him to wander the deepest recesses of The Stygian Darkness with only a Shamwow, a Snuggie and an intelligent (but carnivorous) guinea pig with which to amuse himself.
The neutral third party, unfortunately, was so traumatized that he had to be admitted to an asylum and now can only speak of "The Horror" and screams shrilly whenever someone wearing brown shoes enters the room. Strangely, he also has an unrelenting craving for strawberry Jell-O.
-
I started in tour 51 flying as ddragon(Dragon was unavailable), changed to leDragon after a short break from the game. Last year at the Dayton gathering everyone started calling me "Chef" since I was at the grill all day long making grub the the drunks. After debating for a few weeks, I changed name to Chef and of course, then added the SW after joining the Spartan Warriors.

"Gavagai" became a joke among my friends in college when we read W.V. Quine.

National Lampoon’s High School Yearbook Parody has a character named Rufus Leaking, a.k.a. ‘Spaz.’
“Brown hair, wavy eyes”
‘Spaz’ and ‘Rufus’ were taken. Abbreviated to fit.

I had to sneak my very unique first name in there somewhere. So I added the first four letters of my last name and wallah "Way-Stin2"
-Way

Mine was a total accident.
Logged on to AirWarrior for the first time and sat there for 15min trying to pick a name and everything I tried to use was taken. In AirWarrior when you pick a name that was in use, it would give you a list of "suggested" names. Lute was one of the choices and I just finally took it out of frustration. I just really wanted to fly.
I promised myself that I would change it.
Never did.
Going on 15 years now.

My fav game back in the C64/Amiga500 days: Harpoon

Got really involved back in the day to Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six game on Xbox....call sign was Revrand R.I.P. ......spelled Revrand like this, one, not to offend and second my roommate was a Texan with one hell of a drawl and he used to talk like a crazed preacher named REVRAND WYITE SHOOZE......as he sounded the same way I spelled it......so basically I carried it over so I wouldn't have to remember a new name when someone talked to me....... :cheers: :salute

thndrEGG, or Thunderegg: the State Rock of Oregon. http://www.naturenw.org/rock-thundereggs.htm
My brother, Flayed1 and I pondered for a long time what my handle would be after he introduced me to this addiction five years ago. There's still quite a few thundereggs out in the desert to be found.
What is a thunderegg? Definition according to the above linked site:
A Thunderegg is not actually a rock. It is a structure, sometimes a nodule, sometimes a geode, occurring in rhyolite, welded tuff, or perlitic rocks. However, without question, the Thunderegg is by far the most popular "rock" in Oregon. (http://www.statesymbolsusa.org/IMAGES/Oregon/thundereggHalves.jpg)(http://www.statesymbolsusa.org/IMAGES/Oregon/thundereggSpheres.jpg)
Seems like my handle has taken on a new significance game-wise. I love bombers. :cool:

Mine is pretty simple. I own a lowered Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14. I played for a while under RFD118 which was the fire department I worked at and my number but once I closed that account and came back I had to have something new. I was sitting in the office thinking, then looked out into the garage and saw the bike sitting there so I used it.
Once it's sold which will hopefully be soon, I'll have a new one. I've been thinking about this one for a lonnnnng time and have something decent, an old inside joke between my squaddies and I.
-
I use to be stewys but cancelled cards and had to change names. One day I was talking to sirvlad and he called me sc00ter and it stuck.
-
Mine's kinda lame. Goes back a long time. Used to use the handle BlackDeath on old BBS days back in high school. When I graduated HS, and started getting on the Internet, found a lot of people liked that name apparently, so I had to think of a new one. After going out drinkin with some friends, went to sign up for SOMETHING (forget what it was), and couldn't think of a new name. Looked outside the window and it was a very VERY Starry Night outside, so I just typed in StarKnite, and eventually shortened it to just Knite.
-
When I first subscribed way back when, I was in the middle of a good book called "War At Sea" by Nathan Miller and had just read of some of the exploits of the sister ships USS Darter and USS Dace. Actually tried Darter first but someone had it already.

When I played games and it asked for a name I always put Maddog, or Maddog Joe. When I signed up for Air Warrior Maddog was taken and Maddog Joe was too long, so I use MDJOE. I joined the 444th Air Mafia and was with them for years. I was CO of the squad when AW was axed, and I dragged as many mobsters to AH as I could. After a few years here I decided it was time to step down and let someone else lead for a bit. After a while I felt I was in the way, kinda like a second CO, so I figured for both me and the squad I would leave and take a break. A month later I was ready to come back :x but I didn't want to get in the way, so it was time for a new name.
The saying in the "Mob" is "there is only one way to leave the mob, in a pine box", so I went under cover and became the Fugitive. Most call me "Fugi" now, so I'm either a Japanese film company, or a character from the old show "McHale's Navy" :rofl
-
My name actually came from an episode of Beavis and Butthead.
-
Was thinking of a word that had Limey in it, me being a Brit, then blimey is a an expression used here "Gor Blimey Guvnor!" as an expression of surprise, so as I generally have not much idea whats going on I thought it was apt.
-
Was Osprey in Warbirds but had a whole dang squadron of ospreys in AH:)
Took up my oldest son's callsign from his 2004 TOD in Iraq as War Platoon leader 82nd Combat Eng Big Red One - WAR6.
Changed number to letters. War6 had been retired due to disbanding of 82nd.
Will become Thunder6 after he returns from his upcoming deployment to Afghanistan as CO of the mighty 510th Clearance Company.
Thanks to the Army for assigning such good callsigns that work well in AH:).
-
Did a research paper in college on North American native Indians! Came across the Bellacoola Indian tribe in Canada! Their mythology and traditions intrigued me! Decided to use the name coola.
-
Favorite show is Star Trek and couldn't think of any other name, so i picked (NCC) 1701E. After a few months I got sick of such uneducated people calling me "numbers guy", so I went with another ship and Excelsior wouldn't fit, thus Xcelsior...worked out perfectly, now no one can pronounce it right. :D
-
After signing up to AH I just named myself after my own name, Marek. After some thought and thinking it sounded super uncool I decided to name myself GrndZero.
When I was in my clubbing days, and I would visit Poland I would go to this one club in particular, called "GroundZero". This was the hot spot to be back in the day.
However, I noticed that there was already a player called WingZero (What I then thought was a niki noob). So I thought, heck - I don't want to look like a copy cat.
Now when I was in highschool, I use to be in a band. I was the second guitarist on my Richi Sambora Stratocaster made by Fender (Dads gift for my 16th birthday). We as a band were very close. We played mostly Santanas guitar only pieces as we were lacking talent for a lead vocalist. We would spend late nights in Kuwait (Where I grew up) in basements rocking it on, a lead guitarist (now a RL pilot), me, a base guitarist (who now is a professional musician) and other who came and went. Good times.
So there you have it. The extra A is because when I took the name, Santana was taken.
Wasn't hard to guess now was it? :lol

Back in Air Warrior.. a long long time ago in a very Mastercard, almost divorce day when we received the 2nd bill....
I would up a plane and start firing at everything in sight..
And, read at the bottom... Hey Newbie!!! Quit shooting at your side, shoot at the Red guys !!!
It stuck :)
Now, when I do fly, I occasionally shoot at my squaddies for giggles.. :)

Name is Drew, which was shortened down to Dru for online gaming. Not sure if it was the simplicity that I liked or my sheer laziness, but I mixed it with my love of skiing and got Druski. Substitute the S with a N and it also applies on a given night.
Also, Spikes that is sweet. Props me boy. :rock Now quit rooting for those saints...

My name was actually a name created by a random name generator with another online game. It bacame ironic when the added emotes to the game, one of which was "beckon". So it would say X beckons you. That became the pronunciation of my name in that game. When I came here, since i'm soo original, i kept it. The guys in my first squad pronounced it "be seeing you" and that stuck here. :joystick:

Well the origin of my "handle" may seem anticlimactic. But here goes.............contrary to popular belief my name does not have it's origins in the famous fast food delight :rock It does however, share a similar trait......yes the love of bacon (insert favorite pork related joke here). From a very young age I would come in low and fast over the breakfast table and snatch all the bacon I could before siblings left me with none. Years later the movie Terminator came out and my fierce fight over bacon at the family table continued. Thus, I was crowned The Baconator by my older brother. Shortened to it's present form of "Bacon8tr" to fit allowable charcater spaces. See I told ya...anticlimactic.

If your old like me and remember a Jetsons episode youll figure out where I got my ID from :old:
-
No, I'm not from Canada. I got mine while playing baseball with the neighborhood kids when I was young. They used to say I could knock the ball out of the park every time. Then, they would just start saying could knock it out, and eventually that became shorter and they started mixing it up and it eventually became canacka.

I go back to Air Warrior version 1.0, about 23 years ago. At first there were no handles; they assigned plane numbers when you signed up. I was plane number 715. Much later they decided to add handles and, being creatively challenged, I just used my plane number. I was the only player allowed to use my plane number as my handle, so I am the original "annoying numbers guy".
When I moved from AW (to Confirmed Kill, then to Warbirds and then) to Aces High, I chose 715 as my handle. When Aces High came out of beta they had everyone pick a new handle (I don't remember why) so I became 715A. Years later, in frustration, I quit. When I restarted, I became 715B.

I was hungry.Very hungry.
I was at that point thereaper52(that is my xbox gamertag) when I decided to change my name.

Yep. Interesting isnt it? :D

15 years ago, Farrapo (FA229) invited me to join the RAF229th....my initials are JC, but the silly AW thingie wouldn't take it, so I used wifey's initials (Barbara Jean....lol sounds like deep south, but she hails from Boston burbs). Lol, I must confess, the greater implications of the initials didn't occur to me at the time :lol

AH wouldnt let me use /IT\
I figured my other AW handle of PORNO wouldnt fly here either. (pun intended)
So I settled on the name of a tragic dark warrior online character I created many years ago, DREDIOCK
Without getting too much into the story of what the character was about (think i did that already a while back)
His basic description was, A dark knight, neither living nor dead. Black helmet and armor,and shield. blood red cape
On one side of his belt a long curled whip. on the other, His sword. with the name "Vengeance" inscribed on one side. At the base of the blade inscribed are the words
"Men vereor nex. Nex Vereor Drediock"
;)

When i signed into wbs2 the first time you needed 6 letters. I probably spent about half an hour trying to think up a cool name when i noticed an old t-shirt sitting on the floor by the desk that i had from my junior high skateboarding days. It was my JimmyZ surfer shirt. It was bright yellow with an old woody wagon with the surf board rack on top parked on a beach. My first name is James but everyone's always called me Jimmy, so i went with it. When they closed down the wbs2 arena i kicked around in wbs3 for a while but it wouldn't let me log in as jimmyz, so i was jimboz over there. Got bored and came here and i'm jimmyz again. I have no idea what happened to that shirt, probably lost it in a move somewhere along the way. :old:

Well, I'm a member of the Sky Knights squad, hence the "SK", and, my first name is really "John". That makes it easy for me to recognize that I'm being spoken to when I receive a check 6, etc. Not very original, but easy to remember. . .

Actually RT, that's pretty cool. I remember that exact story, having read that account on Geoff Nutkins' website. I have a bit of his BoB artwork hanging here in my office.

Mine is pretty simple, and a bit cheezy. Obviously I liked the imagery of the "grim reaper"....

Hi, I'm from Norway and this is why i came up with my game ID. :salute
In Norwegian sea folklore, the Kraken is an enormous sea monster which would sometimes attack ships and feed upon the sailors. It was supposed to be capable of dragging down the largest ships and when submerging could suck down a vessel by the whirlpool it created. It is part octopus and part crab, although others refer to it as a giant squid or cuttlefish. It was first described by Pontoppidan in his History of Norway (1752). The sheer size and fearsome appearance attributed to the beasts have made them common ocean-dwelling monsters in various fictional works (see Kraken in popular culture). The legend may actually have originated from sightings of real giant squid that are estimated to grow to 13 metres (46 feet) in length, including the tentacles. These creatures normally live at great depths, but have been sighted at the surface and reportedly have “attacked” small ships :salute

Despite what most think, mine has nothing to do with the leafy green vegetable. It's actually just a weird knock-off of my last name (Minnich) that seemed to come up in school.
-
Well mine name is from Spectacular :) I thought i would mix it up and put Spektor :)
-
I've always been interested in WW1 and WW2 air combat, but have little to no interest in any "jet age" aerial combat. So, I wanted a name that would reflect that..
Hence PFactorDave on the forum and PFactorD in the game.

Choker41 is a combination of a nickname in college and 41 was an old basketball number. Choker came from Pearl Jam song that my roommate kept singing "Don't call me Choker". My last name is Yoder. He did call me Choder but some of us know what a Chode is. He then called me Choker. I can't imagine someone telling me "Hey Chode, check your six." It was even more funny when I flew with Stroker1 (Duhasst), and we would land kills together. Choker and Stroker landed ## kills. We often got some very humorous reactions from the community.

Well, I figured I'd be pissing everyone off when I shoot them down (has happened upto a point. I even got a message from EZRino saying "you are my nemesis, Nemisis". Past that, I just thought it sounded good.

Mine is a nickname given to me by my then gf now wife. When I joined AW it was the only id that would be accepted so I just stuck with it in AH the numbers are my lucky numbers. Pronounced OH SO, but have been called "O" "ESS" "O" etc. , so its been funny at times when talking on range with other players. I never thought this addiction would last 12+ years. :O

I go back to Air Warrior version 1.0, about 23 years ago. At first there were no handles; they assigned plane numbers when you signed up. I was plane number 715. Much later they decided to add handles and, being creatively challenged, I just used my plane number. I was the only player allowed to use my plane number as my handle, so I am the original "annoying numbers guy".
When I moved from AW (to Confirmed Kill, then to Warbirds and then) to Aces High, I chose 715 as my handle. When Aces High came out of beta they had everyone pick a new handle (I don't remember why) so I became 715A. Years later, in frustration, I quit. When I restarted, I became 715B.
A lot of great stories, but I thought this one was especially cool.

When I started out in online flight sims, I actually started with MS CFS, and played it online a total of about two weeks before I started AH. When I tried to log in on MS CFS, all I could think of were "generic" WWII names, and every one I came up with was already used.
Finally, out of desperation, I fell back on a different interest area of mine, which is the American fur trade, the rocky mountain aspects of it in particular. I'd already been using the nickname of "mountain man" or "Mtnman", and figured no way in heck would somebody already be flying under that name.
When I came to AH a few weeks later I just brought the name with me.
It's a complicated name- often I get called "mitten-man" or "minute-man" (my wife laughed HARD at that one, for some reason. She's warped).
You know when you go to the truck stops, restaurants, etc, and find all those little brochures for the local tourist spots, museums, etc? Here's a picture of me, my wife, and kids (wife is holding son, daughters head is poking up behind my shoulder) that's been used as the cover for one (that was kind of neat to find, since we weren't told it was being used... We just stumbled across it)-

Slade are an English rock band. They were the top UK group of the 1970s. They were the first act to have three singles enter at #1, and all six of the Wolverhampton band's chart-topping stompers were penned by Noddy Holder and Jim Lea.
The group dominated the UK charts during the early 1970s. During the height of their success, Slade out-performed their chart rivals, such as Wizzard, Sweet, T. Rex, Suzi Quatro, Mud, Smokie, Gary Glitter, Roxy Music and David Bowie. In the UK, they achieved twelve Top 5 hit singles from 1971 to 1974, six of which topped the chart.
In total, Slade had seventeen Top 20 hits between 1971 and 1976 including six #1s, three #2s and two #3s. No other UK act of the period enjoyed such consistency in the UK Top 40 and Slade actually came the closest to matching The Beatles' twenty two Top 10 records in a single decade (1960s). Three of their singles entered the charts at #1 and they sold more singles in the UK than any other group of the 1970s. By 1973 alone, "Merry Xmas Everybody" had sold over one million copies globally, and gained gold disc status. They toured Europe in 1973 and the US in 1974.
Slade have released over thirty albums, three of which reached #1 on the UK Albums Chart.
While Slade's attempts at cracking the United States market were largely unsuccessful, they left their mark on several US bands who cite Slade as an influence. Kiss bassist Gene Simmons admitted that his band's early songwriting ethos and stage performance style was influenced by Slade. In his book, Kiss and Make-Up, Simmons wrote on page 85, "the one we kept returning to was Slade," and "we liked the way they connected with the crowd, and the way they wrote anthems... we wanted that same energy, that same irresistible simplicity. but we wanted it American-style".
Tom Petersson of Cheap Trick said that his band went to see Slade perform, and that they used "every cheap trick in the book", thus inadvertently coining his group's name. Cheap Trick covered the song "When the Lights are Out" (the original one appeared on Old New Borrowed and Blue) on their 2009 release, The Latest. Quiet Riot had US hits with their covers of "Cum On Feel the Noize" and "Mama Weer All Crazee Now". The origins of Slade's influence on Quiet Riot dated back to the early 1970s, when Kevin DuBrow photographed Slade during their first Los Angeles appearances at the Whisky a Go Go.

I was asked to start up a 3rd wing for JG2. I thought I'd go with a historical name since I thought that was a cool tribute to history. After a quick search for III/JG2 pilots I narrowed it down to a few. I wanted to get a short name that was fun. It came down to Egon Mayer, Hans "Assi" Hahn, or Otto Bertram. I read a little bit on each and decided on Assi. From what I read he was a great pilot and a sonofabeach prisoner for the Russians. :neener:
I also knew it would give a laugh for those that appreciate the fact that I can be a total Assi.
I know there are a lot of WWII buffs on the game, I am not one of them. I am happy that I have learned some basics about many of the planes and vehicles and their capabilities. Looking up the names of all of you guys has also contributed to my tiny understanding of WWII. :salute

I started out as "ghost51." "51" for obvious reasons, and Ghost because I thought I could come in for a quick kill and be gone before they knew what hit them. (that went really well for a n00b :noid). Soon changed to Ghost208 (208 added for the first squad I joined [whom actually recruited me on my first day online]). After becoming infamous and hated by all due to my immature mouth and affiliations with other immature adults, I decided to try and get a new start (this is all within my first 6 months in the game). I thought about it for a while, but I couldn't quite come up with a name I liked. After looking through one of my books with WW2 Aviation paintings, I found exactly what I was looking for:

"Banshee" - somewhat similar to ghost, AND it was on a 51. BINGO!
Name has stuck ever since, and I will have played Aces High for three years in March.

Lost most of my left thumb in an accident while working at a wielding shop in 1985 when I was 19.
My friends would at times refer to me as "Thumb less" so any time I needed a call sign or the such in flight games I would use Thumbless. I always thought it was unique.

I flew to Mirimar in the early 90s while a friend was in TopGun school. In the evenings we would visit the local bars and I would listen as his classmates and he would recount the days dogfights. They informed me that callsigns are not picked, but given to you by your squad. My friend knew I flew online flight sims and decided I needed a callsign. Since my last name is Haden.......... I was given the callsign Coach..... from the TV show.

Got mine because I imagined that this would be easy to learn, and I would be sweeping the skys. Turns out I'm a great tanker instead of a great pilot. My tank gunnery is great, while my ACM is mediocre at best. I'm best with scissors, which would explain my love of the 190, and my adversion to the N1K2, spitfires, and zeeks.

LETALIS
Latin Adjective
1. deadly, fatal, mortal
I was in a ROTC classroom and got into a friendly philosophical debate with a very eloquent 3-Star who was visiting the Det. He asked what the difference was between a cop who shoots a person dead and an Air Force aircraft killing many with bombs. I said it was the same basic act of killing, mattering little to the person(s) dead and was neither morally good or evil of itself since "justice" is hardly derived from a given act itself but by other means. His take was that the difference was scope or "LETHALITY" except he left out the H every time he said the word. Since the latin adjective is close to his English and since I kill many a cartoon victim w/airplanes...Letalis was born! DUM-DUM-DUMMM :O

I was bullied a lot when I was in high school about 10years ago and had an idiotic tendency to say stupid things for my defense. Word got around that I was Christian (not good new where I live) and one guy was sure I was going to become "the pope" one day (Means le Pape in French). Told myself, what heck, screw him, he want me to be a pope? Then I'll be (a virtual) one!
My E-Mail starts with Lepape and used it ever since. Lepape is also a French Last name. The 2 is for being annoyed about websites telling me the ID is already in use.
Older user names were Pilote>Tardif in the EA Battlefield series (gents thought I called myself reTARDed but it was my Last name) and Pacific-Killer in some others.
Only 3 or 4 people in AH know this... but since most people here have some common sense, I less risk myself to another "gaming suicide".

I am a Civil Engineer.
Riprap — also known as rip rap, shot rock or rock armour — is rock or other material used to armor shorelines, streambeds, bridge abutments, pilings and other shoreline structures against scour, water or ice erosion. Riprap works by absorbing and deflecting the impact of a wave before the wave reaches the defended structure.

Around 9 years ago now i did some racing. After some victory's and quick times i was given the nickname Bullet. As you may have guessed it has now stuck with me all these years. so when i joined aces high 2 i picked Bullet as my name.

OU thats a neat story.In baseball I played 1st base,and I hated pitchers that had good off speed pitches.Our coach was a look for the fastball first,and you can adjust if you don't get one type.I don't know how many times I looked foolish when a savvy pitcher fed me a off speed pitch,with me looking for a fastball.I took this lesson to fast pitch softball,and even though I wasn't all that fast,I got a lot of batters out with a knuckleball and a slow drop.You can throw the ball 95 mph,but if that's all you got,the good hitters will find you!

OU thats a neat story.In baseball I played 1st base,and I hated pitchers that had good off speed pitches.Our coach was a look for the fastball first,and you can adjust if you don't get one type.I don't know how many times I looked foolish when a savvy pitcher fed me a off speed pitch,with me looking for a fastball.I took this lesson to fast pitch softball,and even though I wasn't all that fast,I got a lot of batters out with a knuckleball and a slow drop.You can throw the ball 95 mph,but if that's all you got,the good hitters will find you!
Dobey
Dobey...I was low 90's on my best days and in High school that was good enough. At the Div 1 level...that is just a bit better than ordinary without something off-speed to enhance it (fork, slow-curve, slider, or a changeup). Guys at that level will work the count on you if you're a fastball guy...as a pitcher, if you get ahead in the count the batter KNOWS that you are NOT going to throw a strike...he knows you will try to get him to reach with a pitch close to the strike zone or just plain fool him with a real crappy pitch. Well, quickly the count is 2-2 and now, as a pitcher thats' out-pitch (that was almost my in-game name) is a fastball, he knows whats coming and can sit on it and wait. That is when you get crushed because everyone at that level can hit a mid 90's fastball...with very few exceptions.
If you think about it, its the same way in this game...there are pilots that are criminally good at BnZ (fastballs) and there are pilots that deceptively good on the deck stall-fighting (off speed). The best pilots I can think of, Bruv, Grizz, DrBone, Lazer, Krupnski, Sunsfan, SHawk, Batfink, SkyRock, JunkyII (NuffSaid), perdweeb, Sunbatt and Dodger have BOTH pitches...they will kill you either way and in fact, can actually set you up for an off-speed pitch!! They will hit you from above, dodge someone on the pass and lose a touch of E, go ahead and kill the other guy and bleed off most of their remaining E knowing that you are waiting to hit them when they appear most vulnerable...low and slow (off speed)..and then WHAMMO! Here comes the changeup pitch and you are back in the tower. If you have one competitive bone in your entire body, you are demoralized and left foolish after being struck out by a changeup or some form of off speed spoiler pitch OR being set up by one of those guys...it escapes no one.
Lots of similarities in the games :salute

OU your right,the similarities are there.I love watching a pitcher who can hit spots,and get people out w/o a 95 mph fastball.Some of the better sticks in here can kill you in so many ways.The one thing they all seem to have in spades is good S.A.,and deadly accurate gunnery.

My actual game ID is "stainman." I only use vafiii for the forums. Anyway, one morning me my business partner and I were driving on I-95 to a very important business meeting in New Jersey. Before we hit the highway we stopped at the Bagel King and picked up some bagels with cream cheese and two large coffee's. We were making good time when we hit a traffic jam. At the same time the cream cheese and coffee were doing their dirty work on my digestive system and in no time flat I was cramping up like a chick with her period. Hemmed in on all sides by commuters and eighteen-wheeler's, I succumbed to the immense pressure building in my intestines and crapped my pants. Needless to say my partner dubbed me the "stainman" and a legend was born!

When I first joined Air Warrior Radcam was my first choice, and had been left on many vidoe game machines in arcades across the west, but it was already taken and every name I tried after that was unavailable.
As I remember it you had to pick a handle and a cpid. and after a while I came up with splatter as my handle since that was what I seemed to do most often, but it was too long to be my cpid so I tried sick1 e.g. splatter ewww sick1 but sick1 was taken. Then basically out of desperation ( I really wanted too get my fighter pile-it career going now) I typed in SIK1, it wasn't being used and that's been my handle ever since.

A lot of folks online thinks it's Bill Murray's character from the movie Ghost Busters, but it's not. His name was Peter Venkman. 18 years ago I came to work for a company that has cubicles, and ID badges. Every cubicle has a name plate on the outside so people can find in the cubicle rat maze. The guy in charge of ordering cubicle nameplates, and ID badges was an old guy who was about as sharp as the blunt end of a banana. When all my IDs arrive, the "e" in missing from Vince so everyone thinks my name is Vinc, and they start pronouncing it VinK. Of course it stuck and despite spelling corrections that quickly followed, for 18 years everyone has called me Vink. Some then nicknamed the nickname and call me Vink-man...like Ice-man, or Bat-man I suppose.
On-line check six calls are always interesting. "Viking check six", or "Vikeman, check six"
But I'm just happy to get a check <S> and figure as often as I get poached, if the name has a V and a K in it, I just break. :D
Good thread by the way. :aok

I was playing FA as ReapALL and moved to AH in late 1999 or 2000. I played AH as ReapALL till one weekend, I got up early Saturday or Sunday planning on playing all day and night. I was at my height of my AH addiction!
I could not login, I tried everything, but to no avail. I was jittery and pissed, could not figure out what was wrong, nothing worked, no password email nothing. It was the weekend, the office was closed. I started cussing up a storm, I could not login to get some kills! So I thought screw it, I will start a new account for the weekend and get it straightened out later the next week.
Well I kept trying out names, of course all of the names I tried were already taken. I was already pissed from being denied my fix! I kept cussing more and more as I tried more names. I was getting really vulgar, then it hit me, vulgar, and it worked! I was up in the air in no time getting my fix!
I planned on getting my old name back, but after a few days, I kinda liked my new name. My GF and her friends said it was more fitting for me, since I cuss so much! Yes I woke my GF up that morning cussing so loud, she asked me later what I was cussing about so early in the morning!

I don't remember what I used when I played AW. Too long in the past and somethings are better left uncovered I would imagine and I know I used the same name from AW in Warbirds.
When I joined up in Fighter Ace back in 1999 I joined as Six. That became LJK_Six when I joined up with LuftJagerKorps (LJK) in FA since I was the 6th person to join up coincidentally. Then I switched over to LJK_Reschke because I had always liked the little LW oberfeldwebel who flew with Geschwaderstab JG301. I was a numbers dude in my time in the AH Beta at that point. Then when LJK made the switch I had to change my name to LJKResch. When LJK closed up shop and I started VF-17 back in September of 2002 I changed my name to Reschke to make it simpler and its been that way ever since.
Although I am thinking it might be time for a new name...who knows what it will end up as.

Back in the 1960s I was a long-haired redhead and the first (and only) student to grow a beard at my grammar school.

In Norwegian sea folklore, the Kraken is an enormous sea monster which would sometimes attack ships and feed upon the sailors.
Oh so that' s where Kraken comes from! There is a sea monster in World of Warcraft called Kraken, and one of my favourite 'daily' quests is to "Get Kraken!". I do like to find out where these names originate. :)

Hi Karaya! :)
My ID like many others goes back to my days of playing Air Warrior. My husband had been playing AW on and off for quite a few years, leaving and then "bouncing back". Also his favourite plane was the p38 but every time he landed it he would bounce several times. He eventually decided to call himself Zebedee after a character from The Magic Roundabout - www.zeb.clara.net/magic.htm (http://www.zeb.clara.net/magic.htm), shortened to Zeb for the AW CPID. When I started playing in 1998 I wanted something to associate me with him and therefore chose another character from The Magic Roundabout - Florence! The only other female character was Ermintrude but I did not want to be named after a cow, for obvious reasons! I had to shorten it for my CPID, Floss was taken so I spelt it with one 's' - Flos. Though people with short IDs only saw the first 3 letters so I often got called Flo. When I came to AH I decided to change to Flossy. :D

Geez! I've been following this thread for ages - well, at least half a year - thinking I've already punished you with my story. After a thorough search I found out I actually have, but in another thread. All you curious ones have to search it youself. No link today, sorry...
So... Once upon a time I needed to do some shopping at the local net auction service. My friend didn't want me to use his account for that one time (so I thought) affair, so I had to create a nick for myself. Little did I know I would use it after a decade in various occasions, even IRL. I find it kinda funny, when I'm referred to as Bizman to someone totally unaware of this kind of communities. There's a certain fellow pilot who has become a family friend, who even at his wedding party, called for his newlywed wife telling her "Bizman and his family are leaving!" Not to tell I've known her almost as long as him under totally different circumstancies...
Now, back to business... Oh, it seems I already told the story by that sentence: I used to work as a traveling B2B salesman for a total of 18 years, which led me to choose a nick referring both to my occupation and my gender. Must be a disappointment for those waiting for some kinky stuff. No, not me. I'm a good Christian and a trustworthy husband and father. If not dull, then at least boring... :neener:

I asked everyone in the the room how they liked the call sign "stalwart" for flying with the Knights. Everyone said it sucked. So I used it anyway. :neener:

WildWzl-for Phantom F-4G wild weasels anti radar missile aircraft I worked on in the Air Force. They went in first before anything was down. They were used up until & mostly through the gulf war. During my time in they went from F-105G Thuds, F-4's, then later to F-16s, and probably a few others... During NAM...http://www.militaryhistoryonline.com/vietnam/airpower/wildweasel.aspx
The F-4D phantoms had a large fat radome on the nose & was heavier due to the pay-load of bombs usually carried. The "C's" were already lighter and faster, so a long sleek nose was fitted, the entire aircraft was lightened. The 105's worked with the F-100 in hunter killer teams which was copied later by 105's and 4's, then F-4G's and F-16C falcons. The slower aircraft would go in and get "Locked on" then the later would fire. Great Tactics in Viet-Nam, & Iraq. :salute

Grabbed a dictionary, closed my eyes, opened dictionary, jammed my index finger on a page, opened eyes... "Tumor". I thought, what the hell, why not?

Have had lots and lots of questions about my name. I fly out of the sun and bite these.
Doesn't the glass chip your teeth?

PropNut: since I spent many years working as an aircraft mechanic, working on many old warbirds ,radials and even a Reno racer P-63 , you can have all the jets just give me prop driven planes. Add to that I have collected movie props off and on for years so the name works two ways.

That is so unfair.
They've just got given all, like, smileys and this, that, and everything else. And I, like, haven't got given no smileys.

The book is way better than the movie.

Back in Air Warrior 3 I had to create a handle that was what I remember to be less than 7 characters? So I picked MK84 after the 2000lb general purpose bomb that was my weapon of choice from my then other favorite game A-10 Cuba.

My godlike good looks and body.

The movie is decent. That is why I first read the novel back in '97. It is still one of my favorites.
Funny story: I was visiting my step brother in Maine a coupe of years ago the week before Christmas. I was doing some gift shopping with my sister-in-law at some local music/movies/comic/book store and found an original printing of the novel and snatched it up for $20.

Tried using Xcalibur when I first joined, and it was unavailable. So, I used an AOL email address abbreviation for Xcalibur Collectibles, LTD = XcalCo1
Joined the Hell Hounds (The Originals) and used XcalCo1 until the split of the squad.
Retooled the name into Xtrepid (Play on Intrepid... doh), and loved shooting down "Xcelsior" in his P38 with the "Old Osti" :cheers:
X :salute

SKFGAlpo: I've been Alpo since flying in AirWarriorII back in '96 (holy crap... 20 years :joystick:). Added the SKFG for the SkyKnights Fighter Group when we had multiple squadrons.
Upon joining AirWarrior and flying for a couple of days and having my arse handed to me repeatedly, it was apparent that my handle had to reflect my abilities. Since I was being turned into dog meat regularly, it seemed appropriate. :aok
(Couldn't find any of my P38 nose arts... however, I did stumble across an old scenario one where we kept our kill counts on the rudder)

I've got some of my old profiles were we kept score on the nose (flying allies of course). I miss those big old scenarios
