I Got Your Attention!

I like knowing who I'm flying with.

Yep, I agree.....and its always the most rude, annoying idiots with 5 names a week....

This is true for other games and forums as well. Players who keep the same name, or use derivations that are easily identifiable as them and only them, are generally trying to get to know folks and have folks get to know them. As in, establish a reputation. And folks that change names at every turn in the weather are trying to avoid something. Usually their reputation.

Just sayin'.

There are always exceptions of course. But this is generally what we've seen, eh?

However, chicken shit is good fertilizer.

Always.....


BOOOOO!!!!!!

??????? Uhhhhhhh ok then

I agree wholeheartedly, to a point.

As an aspiring student of human action and reaction, and a type of situational comedian, I take great pride in my ability to flawlessly switch names.

Occasionally, on a weekend, I will change my name and assume a role-playing character. I have been Pluribus 2.0, Kanye Humble West, and a couple others I don't care to reveal. When I'm under a different name, I become a whole new person for three days, completely giving myself to the "bit." And people buy it, quite often.

It has become a matter of habit, just as much as the actual game. I have two or three ideas I'm bouncing around for which character to play next. Have fun looking for me!

Well.just for the.record i do chang my name.here and there. Sometime i just dont feel.like.being a rabbit. And here are the names i use duck fart .muffin. tusk .butt ox.e.a.poe i hope this.is ok with you i dont change often but im.not avoiding or trying to hide from.anything i do it just for a change

Good topic Paul, every one knows I change my name a lot. Not to hide, but just for the fun of it. Unlike the chicken shits you talk about, I always let people know who I am. I do it all in fun. No reason to hide who I am, I'm always flying as a dead person.

Boooorah

Haha yeah the godz has spoken, its not ok to free live free and do as u wish. Well as i fell like this is somewhat directed to me (since i do often change my name) im gonna say what i do is my own business and if i wish to change my name i damn well am. If ur gonna be insulting and rude as ur title comes then i can give a shit how you feel about name changes. Yet another jackass tryingto ccontrol df, get lost old man.

I'm a godz now....
....and I can't even find my teeth!

My best,
JackADonkey







Which leg am I pulling? Left or right?

Eagle, Paul is a delightful old man who, as far as I have seen, tries to better dogfight and it's community, not destroy it. I think it is safe to say that this thread is directed more towards the inappropriate fliers who change their names daily so that they don't get banned on every other account I believe, as manfred said, that it's more the attention seekers that are annoying I'm sure if you do as grey ghost does and tell people either on the forum or in-game who you are, then Paul would be perfectly fine with you changing your name as he said, he just likes to know who he is flying with although, Paul... The thread title is a little excessive haha...

I do change my name often! It doesn't depend on anything or to hide my identity. Just a name change. Went with names like Mad & Misfit, Mr Mad, No Problems and currently going with Communist. Planing to change my name today into Salt [M] Pepper. I like guys with interesting names and like to hear the story behind that. And yes Chicken Shit is good fertilizer Sir!!

Sometimes I go as

[*M] bhfoust

i have been known to go as

tsuofhb [M*]

Lately i have went with

[*M] bhføü§t

Oops almost forgot I added to it

[*M] bhføü§t [SF]

EaGLe21, Please, don't aLways try to Mess up a Gud thread...settle down bud, dn't get ur feathers aLL ruffled? Haha. (P.s.) I'm Heroicz by the way..I have flown as Airistottle..Light in the air & heavy on the throttle. I leveled up to m.o.r.a.f as 111|R-SauvaGe! Who happens to be a WWII historian..[Ace]. 1 of my lastest names I flown by would be..."bronze Starr". Those are a few, but I must say.."There's nothing lke being my nominated name caLL..HEROICZ

I stand corrected. I did say there were exceptions. And not. Sorry if I offended. And not.

Good topic.

When we were mods, we went incognito sometimes because the blacklist offenders were leaving games that we entered. But then others wouldn't know who we were. Then the blacklist guy would go Poof and we were obvious. Some of you knew me as Benzoil Peroxide.

Get over yourself. Paul is older and wiser than you have the slightest hope of ever being. Paul has never been anything but supportive and gracious to you. I've seen it, and thought "A good man's efforts, completely and unfortunately wasted." People have long since ceased to give a rat's anus about little angry, psychotic Zippy. Go throw a pity party, and make yourself feel better by looking at your third account's artificially inflated stats.

Thanks for your support folks.

I had to change the title after a breakfast with a LARGE side order of lecture from Judy.

I did come off a little rough in this topic. I was already anoyed about something else going on yesterday and i do apologize for coming here and taking my anger out on this thread. Paul, i am sorry, i shouldnt have called you anything. Everyone is right, your are a wise enjoyable person to be around. And yeah i can only hope i become half the man you are. So lets start this over shall we?

I guess i took it the wrong way, if ppl do wanna change thier name than all the power to them, i know many, many pilots who do and i can say im one to do it almost on a daily basis. Some may know me as cobra92, zippy, spitfire and now currently eagle21. Latley ive flown with my old allies just to see how ppl will react to my return (though most already know ive been back). But thats just me, i dont change my name to hide (trust me im not scared) i believe ive proven that once i (ve) shown i can be a nice person when not on the wrong foot i can be a pretty enjoyable guy also. Idk what influenced you to start this thread and god its been forever since i been on forum.

So anyways paul, i hope you can accept my apologies like i said, yesterday just wasnt a good day for me and i should have known better to not even post here.

We're fine. Don't sweat it.

I sincerely apologize to all for using a 5 letter word (instead of poops) in the title originally.

Judy has fined me $1,000 for each letter to be sent to 5 different charities.
She's a tough bird and I don't ruffle her tail feathers.

1. Wounded Warriors is Judy's choice.
2. Doctors Without Borders is mine.

You folks come up with 3, 4, and 5. We'll give it a couple of days, then Judy will choose.

I'm sorry if I offended anyone.

To Judy: that was my Viagra money.....honey.

if i give you my address, does it count as a charity....???? haha jk.

I told that lots of time, always something to hide:). Some have different name every day.

Piece o' cake Paul. My wife dragged me out to a charity dinner on Friday night for the Challenged Athletes Foundation. CAF supports athletes and would-be athletes whose insurance won't cover prosthetics needed to run, bike, swim, etc.(which is everyone who is missing a limb - insurance doesn't cover "sport and exercise" as it is deemed unnecessary to life!). Several of her triathlon friends support their San Diego race every year, and this year my wife was running on a relay team that raised some money.

We had the privilege of meeting some really inpirational people at the dinner. I was completely floored. People travel from all over to participate. I sat next to a 13 yr old boy who introduced himself and his mom. They come every year to support CAF. He competes in the 1.2 mile ocean swim. I didn't notice that he was missing a leg until we all got up later.

Robin Williams came to this race for years. His passing was a great loss to CAF. But he helped get the charity some serious publicity over the years, and they have tremendous momentum.

Fully inspired, we took our girls to the race on Sunday morning to cheer on the athletes. It is jaw dropping to see adults and kids throw off their prosthetics and jump into the surf for a mile race. My wife was on an "able-bodied team", and she said she got smoked on the run by a guy with one leg and a running prosthetic, probably doing a 6 minute mile pace. Kids and moms and dads were running and walking, some with double leg prosthetics. The cyclists were amazing. And all had the same determined look on their faces.

The experience left me inspired, humbled, and wanting to shut up about my own woes. The swim course had ample lifeguards, but I didn't see a single waaambulance.

It's worth reading Bob Babbitt's blog entry on Robin Williams. Touching, and hilarious!

What an amazing organization!

We doubled-down on this one.
Thank you for alerting us to these inspirational people.

My punishment has become our reward.

Our best to the Fred Family.
Thanks Man,

Paul

Come on folks ....help me move in from the chicken coop.

It's cold at night.

2 more to go.

I must say that i constantly change between the same few names....and occasionally fly under something totally wonky just for the fun ( ive flown as "canned spam" and "nitwit" and "anoobis" before) but usually you can know me by the *111| i think im the only one who keeps the star from our breif falcon commando era. usually i go by royal flush, or soviet toilet, or a combination of the two (soviet, von flush, etc....) i have to say my favorite name to fly under was nitwit or anoobis....those were interesting......

if i fly under a wierd name i dont always tell someone...sometimes i do it just to see how pilots i know react to me when its not me, if you know what i mean.......other times its just fun to get people you know to try and figure out who you are....

Paul,

My vote goes to the leukemia and lymphoma society (lls.org). I have a family member currently struggling as well as one relative who has passed away from these types of cancers, so obviously that's personal to me.
