First flight sim I played, 'Wily' was taken, so had to go with a variant.  When I came over here I'd had it with this spelling for so long, I just kept it this way.

It's more or less because I aspire to beat people by mentally being enough moves ahead of them in the fight to beat them by guile, unfortunately what happens in reality often enough is I wind up at the bottom of a coyote-shaped hole in the ground.  I can't take myself too seriously in this game and always liked looney tunes.

If you think you are having a 1v1 in the Main Arena, your SA has failed you.

I really enjoyed the original when it was released, so I shortened it for use as a game handle and have used it for most games ever since.

The real problem is anyone should feel like they can come to this forum and make a wish without being treated in a derogatory manner.  The only discussion should be centered around whether it would work, or how it would work and so on always in a respectful manner.

       I was PopPop in my early days of AH. Thats what my Grandkids would call me. But they have grown and I changed my bank one day forgeting to update my AH billing. Tried to log on one night unsuccessful so I had to reup with new credentials.
 So I started with A clean Slate.  :D

       I also wanted a handle that was easy to say and understand over vox. Ever try to give a warning to someone with a long name or a #s guy?  :headscratch:

   

        Only problem I run into is getting confused with Slade as the names are quite similar.
                           
                                        It's ok you can pretend to be Slate's Shade Slade.  :cool:

IcePac was chosen in the late early 1990s as the login on my computer and eventually showed up online after I retired "quisp".

It came from a party where MTV was on the TV and somoene made fun of the fact that MTV became the "Tupac Channel" and someone else said "actually, it's the Ice Cube channel" and I added that I would switch my rap name from "snoopmarkymark MC Johnson" to "icepac" because it was obvious that name meant more than content.

I fly another sim as "higgns" commenting in character and have flown as "shwing" as well.

Shipper??? If you say so, and you should know... I immediately thought about shopping but then again, English isn't my native language so adding a missing vowel is for me almost like transliterated Hebrew.

No offence intended. But now that it has been published, I suppose you'd always be the #01 Shopper at least for Guncrasher and me here on the forums. Let's just hope we don't misread when giving a chk6 warning.  :t
