Yeah it's too bad that you have to lose all your perks to change your handle, you would think that HTC would have figured out a way for that not to happen by now.

Nice story, am i correct in thinking there is already a few bigjims in the game now? we used to have one in our squad and i have seen another in the LW arenas then there is you that makes three.

Hope im wrong for your sake.

 :salute

True one of the other BigJims used to be in VF-17 he's now a member of 801 Fleet Air Arm. I don't believe he came by his name the same way BigJim3 did. We in VF-17 are glad to have somebody come in and show this much enthusiasm and interest for the real Jolly Rogers of WWII. I don't understand why you hope to be wrong for his sake. I know of other Shifty's I believe there's a Shifty67 and a Shifty25 besides myself. My sake is just fine, theirs too I believe.

Think you also lose squadron affiliation as well.


BTW- nice handle.  I've always found that handles that are either given or used as an homage are the best ones to use.


ack-ack

Agreed  :aok

Read "Lightning Strike" by Donald A. Davis.

These guys argued for forty years about who shot down Yamamoto's plane.

Good story. Lots of controversy.

40 years - that's nothing  heheh - they're still argueing over who killed Manfred "the Red Baron" von Richthofen - 90 + years later :lol

BigJim....GL with your new nic!

....cheers eh! :D

Glad your with us now Wulf...errr BigJim3.

Just to clear up the BigJim...formerly with VF-17...when I was the CO he already had that handle. Didn't ask why or how he came about it.

That's good to hear it was sad to see you getting dramatic and hoping you were wrong over similar names.
