How'd you get your game ID?

[Tarstar]

For my first week I was a #'s guy.. I was also having major issues with landing.. So I thought about what it looks like when an A/C smacks down on the runnway way too fast and hard.. Well, it leaves a big black "star" on the "tar"... And there you have it..  

[Nefarious]

I had the nickname Buster during my childhood and teenage years, but when I went to create a handle back in 2000, Buster had been taken.

I thought a little bit and decided to go with Nefarious, but it had to be shortened to Nefari, because back then the character limit was 6.

No idea how i came up with "Gorf", just pulled it outta me arse for the 2 week trial and it stuck.

[Dogtown]

Dogtown is a oldschool skateboard ....skating and surfing is alot like flying but now i got guns ....ye ha !!!

[Nemisis]

My game ID is Snuggie.  In real life, I'm a blanket with sleeves.

When it's cold and you are out at the bar beer-goggling over some snaggle; I'm all over your girlfriend.     

Oh dear god, caldera's been shooting me down the whole time? Never woulda guessed it.


And thats not a bad way to live, provided you're careful about what you catch (hehehe, doble meaning ).

[caldera]

I'm still on my two week trial and haven't shot anyone down yet.  I may have bombed your GV a few times though.

Played baseball as a pitcher at the University of Oklahoma....throwing the ball 90+ mph got me nowhere because I was missing the finest pitch in baseball.....the changeup.  It comes at you in many forms...circle change, palm change, off-set 3 finger change, split finger change.  It seemed appropriate to name myself after a pitch I didnt have, while flying a plane I can't really fly, in battles that don't really exist and it was better than my Navy callsign - Horseshoe

Changeup

 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!

S!

From the book YEAGER.  Daddy Rabbit was the name of a P-51D Mustang that was soon to be Yeager's plane.  Too many letters, so shortened it to DadRabit

Best Squadron that ever lived

[redcatcherb412]

(redctchr)  Redcatcher ...  Brigade name for the 199th Light Infantry Brigade, Vietnam.  A great Heliborne Assault unit to fight in.  Where I learned that infantry company strength stateside usually  300-400 men were a myth in a combat area where company strength was usually 90-100 souls.

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

[IronDog]

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.
