Your Unit Names ?
I‘ve always wondered where some of the ELH pilots got their unit names.
Like does Black Hawk like the Chicago Black Hawk’s ?
Does Glasscelts really put allot of Alka – Seltzer in a glass that much ?
Does Mincemeat , mean that that’s what your Mech will look like after he’s done with it ?
Is Buffalo 6 from Buffalo NY ? If so what does the 6 mean ?
Did Cricket have a cricket collection when he was growing up ?
Well , I start by letting you know where I got My name. Remember the old Robo Tech Animated Cartoon Series ? Min May , Rick Hunter , Bretai , Well , there was an ACE pilot called Commander Fokkor , who was the Leader of Scull Squadren. They flew Fighter Jets that Transformed into guess what , … Battle Mechs !! So it was years later that I learned that I spelt his name wrong , but by that time , I just stayed with name that people knew me by , Falker.

hmmm well lets see.
i started mechwarrior on MPlayer under the name Cheeno. why cheeno? ok this sounds strange but i was looking threw a hot rod magazine and this guy had a realy nice olds 442 and his name was cheeno something. so WTH i couldnt decide on a name so i picked that one. i played in Clan Phoinex for about a year or so and the Mplayer leagues were falling apart so a bunch of us were told to head over to Kali and look for a league there that we all may play in. we went and found M3L. M3L only used Battle tech unit names so we coudlnt use Clan Phoniex and decided on Clan Diamond Shark. well the rest of CP decided they didnt want to change the unit name so stayed on Mplayer. Well, those of us who came over felt sort of bad asking the M3L admin to create DS and then bail on them so we decided to split off and remain. For some reason this was seen as a bad thing by the rest of CP and was told that if we played here we would be kicked out of the clan and that was when i decided to change my name. i thought long and hard and decided on NightHawk... i changed my name and Low and Behold. who happens to show up but another Nighthawk... i got bitched out in Private message by him and told him it was a honest mistake and then changed my name to BlackHawk. i never even KNEW there was a hellicopter, mech, or anything else named that lol. For some reason, im one of those ppl who like to change names with new beginings or what ever and when HH was in Starleague i tried to join up under them as FIREnASH. that didnt last long... my fun player name is VoidHawk. named after a fighter Space craft in a book i read about. thats about me and names... now days i go by BH.. and anyone who knew me long.... BS works just as well ;)
BTW. the K at the end of BlackHawk-K stands for Kalasa. i took the blood name when i was Khan of DS in M3L. DS was a big part of my mechwarrior and i feel it still is in alot of ways and that is the main reason why i retian the K even today.

'Tach Deneva' was the name I came up with for a Star Wars RPG character (an X-wing pilot, of course) back in the early 90s. The character was roughly based on Wedge Antilles - so I wanted him to have a name with the same cadence: one syllable, three syllables.
It's pronounced Tak Den' ah vah.
'Tach' derived from a character in the Wild Cards anothology series, an alien named Doctor Tachyon. 'Deneva' was, or so I thought at the time, the name of a star or constellation (but as it turned out, it's actually the name of a colony in the original Star Trek).
I only played that character twice, but the name stuck - I used it on a local BBS back in 1994 when I got my first PC. There for a while, some of the folks I met via that BBS actually called me 'Tach'.
If any of you guys were around back in MW2 Mercs days, I was WarBird (of the NBT Clan Fire Mandrill, which later became the NBT Clan Jade Falcon). I worked my way up to Galaxy Commander WarBird Pryde, CO of the Jade Falcon Galaxy. I was also a member of the SOBs, a non-league 'just for fun' team. And no, SOB doesn't mean what you think it means. Heh.

Wouldn't be the Nights Dawn Trilogy by Peter F Hamilton would it? Voidhawks being Bitek grown starships affinity linked to there crews?VoidHawk. named after a fighter Space craft in a book i read about
Malin, because I am, are and will be, it's been my nickname for 18 years now. Most embarrassing moment, discovering that Malin is a female name in Sweden. However there have been numerous famous people (well relittively) thoughtout the ages with either the surname or forename of "Malin" (General Malin, David Malin, Baso Malin etc)
Malin (just plain me)
Malino (Squadron Leader, AFVS)
Malin- (Pilot Officer, Undertakers with 100% discount)
ELH*Malin (Just about every rank possible, ELH)
Malin0 (Various other games, RTCW, T2 etc)
Moolin (Leutenant, I/Jagdgeschwader 54 "GrЭnherz")
this is not a come back, only temporary solution to a serious addiction problem

I have had a facination with Pegasus (Pegasai?) since a Kansas concert back in my formative years. They opened with a great big laser pegasus flying across the screen to "Icarus, Borne on Wings of Steel". It was THE defining moment in my life. So I've had lot's of handles over the years, but in '96 I bought my first PC because there was a game I'd heard about a few years earlier that had giant robots you could pilot. I went to Wal-Mart and bought my firts two Games, the trial for Mechwarrior 2, and Starseige. I never opened the latter, took it back and exchanged it for a Putt-Putt game for my kids. When I tried the trial and it promted for a sibko, I knew it had to be a cool pilot's callsign. So drawing from my past, I thought of Pegasus, but that was too corney. Adapt that to my Native Okie background, and the Native American sounding "Featherhorse" was born. When I went online, AOHell only had room for Fethrhorse. That's where DS~Fethrhorse came from. Ravenwater was a Hell's Horses' bloodname that worked with Featherhorse pretty well.
And that's pretty much it, same "callsign/nom de modem" all these years and no plans to change it.

Correct Sundance, it is the men in green and white hoops who play on the hallowed turf affectionately known as 'Paradise'
My choice of this name was actually a spur of the moment thing. I had never played any games online until i came across MW4 whilst staying with my brother-in-law. After a week of slagging him off saying he was a Billy-no-mates cos he was playing on the Net so much, he challenged me to actually play the game and NOT like it. Naturally i took up the challenge.....and lost ;) So he threw me in to a multiplayer game and told me to pick a name. Et voila!
Funny thing was, about 2 days later he was showing me how to play CTF. I was doing crap as usual and he took over for a game. He played under my name cos he couldnt be bothered quitting the server to change it, when up popped Lancer and started chatting away to me, saying how good i was at CTF and did i want to join ELH. I remember laughing with my brother-in-law at the irony of it and thinking i would give it a go cos they seemed like a good bunch. 2 years later....... :salut:

A long time ago in a land far away, I was 14yrs old & hung out with the older kids on my block (17&up) at a tire/tree swing on the Conestoga creek near my house.Well alot of people would let the tire out over the creek when they were done with it instead of hanging it up at the tree.So I being alittle wirey kid I use to crouch down & jump as hard as I could at the tire & grab it & hang on. The momentum I had would swing me out & back to the creekbank where we jumped off of.On one of our more non-coherent days (yous figure it out :gulp: puff:puff) I jumped & one of the other guys fell down laughing & when I got back to the bank & he got control of himself I had a nicname that has stayed with me ever sence. I look back now & still laugh.

I chose the name "Venom" for myself because I have a quiet voice and as a lifeguard I would have to add curses when I had 2 yell at som1.
I spewed VENOM at my co-workers and the pools' patrons when they'd piss me off. Venom is what I spew at any1 who pisses me off. So Venom fit. Before Venom it was Ice as in ICEHeart nic of Isane Isard. A murderus imperial bitch out of the star Wars universe. I used to be a cold heartless kid throuout Jr. High and some of HS

:lol: what a trip down memory lane. Its fun to think about some of the things we have done in our youth. For instance, my nick hails from the Aohell days, we had just got a pc and were experimenting with aol, well of course the first thing aol does is require a screen name. Well i chose a nick that made reference to mustache's and the riding of mustaches's 
. Well to my amazement the aohell nick patrol people didnt like it, they come and told me i had to change it, so I reduced it to just stache and its just stuck ever since. Then I started playing MPBT on aol, aol said hey, we can charge ppl for this, when that happened I left. Discovered the real mw game, mw2, mercs, netmech, mw3, and I've been me ever since, in love with a game that lets u pilot giant robots.
