Pollux - from Greek mythology. The 114 is a callout to the CRM 114 from the movie "Dr. Strangelove". With the destruction of this device the B-52 bomber fails to receive the recall code and drops its nuclear payload.

Played a game called magic the gathering and made an orc and goblins deck and basically threw in every red card I had and joked to my friends I was grunk the warlord wizard king, and back when you have video games at the arcade and I didnt get first I would hit back 3 times instead of putting in AAA I would put in ZZZ so I would know it was me and not someone else, but they wouldnt know I didnt get first... I played a lot in the arcade :)

Lieutenant Shortcut.

He's always cutting corners, always in trouble, always doing stuff the wrong way.

"Don't be an Lt Shortcut! Do it the right way!"

I took Minobu because he was fantastic in the books ( and I couldn't get Kai-Allard Liao :) )

One-off handle since it's battletech related

Story from Warhammer about a Grey Seer I read about a long time ago. He had a bodyguard Rat Ogre named Boneripper. Characters from Gotrek & Felix series. Great books. :)

you need someone to mechify that can. Add arms, legs, and a missile launcher perhaps?


Good idea!

chose my name cus its the same 1 i use in WoT
I also make tutorial videos on spotting tactics in the light tanks,
and i'm sure it will be the same on MWO so using my same video
channel on youtube it just makes linking the game videos easier,

and besides the players I've annoyed in light tanks in WoT can now look for me in MWO also
just this time i will have a gun that can pop stuff lol

chances are i'll be a spotter here also XD

Just my favorite mech, though I don't really know why. Light armor, low damage autocannons, slow.

Bit of a masocist I think. Never did like the varients.

A semi-obscure character from Michael Moorcock literature - nothing more than a paradoxical reversal of my normal temperament :)

Lycaon is a character from greek myth who was cursed into the form of a wolf by Zeus and is the origin of the word Lycanthrope.

Just a niffty handle that is never taken...Oh and I have been known to devolve into a howling lunatic on occation.

Ramius is the name I chose for my character on Btech3056 MUSE in 1992 (except I misspelled it as Rameus) and Hazen was the bloodname I won after joining Clan Jade Facon in game. Been using it ever since.

Not enough people have read books by Michael Moorcock.
Although, I've only read Nomad of the Timestreams (The Oswald Bastable trilogy), but it is one of my favourites books I've ever read. It's about time I read it again, actually. But I'm making my way through the Gaunt's Ghosts books. Again.

My callsign in the USAF. Made one mistake on inprossessing day, and my flightmates took one look at my nametag. The rest was history.

All my other ideas for usernames were taken. I was thinking about the character Snippy from the webcomic Romantically Apocalyptic. I thought it was a pretty good and humorous name and I decided to try it. I'm still surprised I got it and I am pretty happy that I didn't end up having to add numbers or anything.

I was the Warlord when I ran my BBS (War Gammer's Club) back in the early 90s.... I switched to Dirt (as older than) when it appeared everyone was a warlord... ( :))... Finnaly I went to Wardog - which I have used for about 10+ years.
In the office, I seem to go by several 4 letter words.....
