russellmz Posted February 16, 2001 Share Posted February 16, 2001 Originally posted by RokSS: My name is a variation on the name of a comic strip character created by me and a friend some 20 years ago called "Sgt Rocksoff: the only real hero". My favorite episode was when Sgt Rocksoff straps a mine to the top of his helmet and crawls through the blood and muck and gunfire across the battlefield to intercept the dreaded "haunted ubertank of the SS!". Of course the massive tank runs directly over him and explodes into a thousand tiny fragments. As the story ends you see a closeup of the semi-decapitated Sarge with just his mouth and a stogie in it saying: "Good thing I wus wearin mah helmit!" that sounds like a cool comic...did he die in every episode like in the aeon flux shorts?

Stoffel Posted February 16, 2001 Share Posted February 16, 2001 Mine came from a popular tv show for children in Holland. I was a bit lazy when I was young so people called me after the turtle from the tv show. His name was Stoffel and it is almost the same as my last name,which is stoffers. the name got stuck with me.

Goofy Posted February 16, 2001 Share Posted February 16, 2001 Picked mine up flying Fighter Ace on the Zone. I was looking for a name for the squadron I had joined- TOO. Everyone had things like TOO_Badforu or TOO_Toughtohandle. I saw all the badass names and thought I'd lighten things up a bit! TOO_Goofy. Now RGP_CO_Goofy (Rebel German Pilots) I've continued to use it to remind myself that this is a game and I need to lighten up and enjoy myself. Also I was told on a forum once that to argue with me with that name made them feel like they were picking on someone off the "short bus". By the way, they took themselves WAY too seriously! ------------------ NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition! Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise....

WallyWaffle Posted February 17, 2001 Share Posted February 17, 2001 My life is a long one... While in my young, batter state, i had dreamed of being a pancake. I loved the way the batter simply lies flat on the griddle, free as a bird. One day, my father not approving of such a liberal lifestyle changed my life forever. He woke me up early, and claimed he would make a man out of me. My life long dreams were shattered when he broke out the waffle iron. I felt myself conforming to rigid square cells of society. And forever then i was know as WallyWaffle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt Bull Posted February 17, 2001 Share Posted February 17, 2001 The first online game I played was the original Close Combat many years ago. You could give yourself an identity in the game setup and after seeing that there were a few players about that named themselves Sgt ***, Lt *** or Col ***, I thought it a good idea to use the same format (im sure there would be several of those players now playing CM) Seeing that I had a nickname Bully and that the only reason I set out to have an online identity was to play wargames online, I thought Lt Bull summed it up an have used it ever since.

CombinedArms Posted February 17, 2001 Share Posted February 17, 2001 Combined Arms tactics seemed to be what the game is all about. I find that strangely fascinating, hence the name--an aspiration, not a boast, since I'm definitely a newbie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nedlam Posted February 17, 2001 Share Posted February 17, 2001 Originally posted by Leonidas: Leonidas was the Spartan commander at the battle of Thermopylae, circa 480 BC. The Greek cities needed time to organize defenses against an army of Persians. A small Spartan force was sent to block Thermopylae - a mountain pass through which the Persians had to travel. There were about 300 Spartans holding off about 10,000 Persians... On the eve of the Battle of Thermopylae, King Xerxes of Persia sent a demand to King Leonidas and the 300 Spartan defenders calling for them to lay down their weapons. Leonidas' reply was simply "Come and get them". Don't know if it's true but I heard it somewhere. Thought you might enjoy it. Nedlam Oh yeah, my name is my hometown spelled backwards.

Subvet Posted February 17, 2001 Share Posted February 17, 2001 I had a few nicknames while I was in the navy that I considered using. The one I was most often called is "Scammer" but when I use that on-line people always get the wrong idea. I was afraid that people might think I was some kind of cheater or something, which couldn't be farther from the truth. So I had to pass on that one. The second one I was known as is "One Eyed Craiger." That is just too damn long to use as a UserName, so that was out. That name was eventually shortened up to just "Craiger" which is what I should have used. Instead I went with "Subvet" for some unknown reason. Maybe I'll change it... ------------------ Craig "Only a madman would consider the possibility of war between the two states (France and Germany), for which, from our point of view, there is no rational or moral ground." - Chancellor Adolf Hitler, Oct. 14, 1933 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurker Posted February 17, 2001 Share Posted February 17, 2001 Originally posted by Madmatt: Obviously an imposter trying to capitalize on my stardom and icon status. Besides, he didnt even spell it right. Everyone knows it's Madmatt... Matt, You’ve lost your sense of balance, and have become more Mad than matt. This other Matt, the one you claim is an imposter, has found balance between his Madness and his Mattness. Perhaps it is time to find your center, meld your madness with your mattness, and become self centered. This is the true path to nirvana. -Lurker P.S. I call myself Lurker because I lurked on the board for nearly a year before posting. Since then, I’ve gotten out of hand and posted way too often.

Guest MantaRay Posted February 17, 2001 Share Posted February 17, 2001 Well, my name is Ray, and Manta was picked up in boot camp for some reason, as was StingRay, but that just didn't fit for me, so hence MantaRay. The wife calls me either SexyRanger or PsychoRanger now, depending on if someone has pissed me off or not on our visits to the outside world. And if I kill her one day, my name will be 24HourCMPlayer, but I dont think the warden would allow PC's in my cell. ------------------ When asked, "How many moves do you see ahead?", CAPABLANCA replied: "One move - the best one."

Billy Bishop Posted February 17, 2001 Share Posted February 17, 2001 This pretty much says it all: Billy Bishop dedicated his life to aviation.
