NaCly pronounced sawl-tee

Na(Sodium) Cl(Chlorine) each in there pure forms are quite deadly together they form Sodium Chloride which is you everyday table salt. originally came from some time volunteering at a day camp in my teen. a few years later I needed a handle for Paintball so it was easy to go with Salty again. Thats what you get when you only took AP chem to learn about why things go BOOM!!


Just recently changed my Xbox live tag to NaClie from some thing a joke of a Tag i will Not digress in to.

but the one that has claims my main email address Geose is from my first Handle ever i at the age of ten for MechWarrior 3. I was eating a Nut Rageous candy bar at the time. those things are so good.

fill free to friend me on Xbox live never have any online to game with.

My online name has been "thaygood1029" since I got my frist computer in July of 1999 a Dell Inspiron 7000. The t is my frist inital, Haygood is my last name, and 1029 is the FM signal of the radio station (Lite102.9) I was working at. Now that I'm working at onther station in the same city (V101.9) so now I'm just going to use Thaygood.

...speaking of back-in-the-day 1999, how many of you remember Heat.Net?

And I thought you were a fan of the Blues Brothers movie.

its been my mw4 name for a lil while, was thinking up random names , and i was trying for something historical and heroci, yet slightly anonymous... i had watched enemy at the gates earlier and the name Ivan popped in my head, so since in mw4 mercs it asks for the company commander name, i put the rank capt. and thats that ;)

I was just putzing around and went with something that might get a reaction from people in game.. I don't really like it though.


Bummer you don't like it ... I recognized it from Star Wars (Empire Strikes Back I think) and thought it was a great choice. Then again that's me.

I've been ratpak in every game I've played, It's part of my last name with "pak" added for my family. Luckily no one else ever uses it.

I was one of the first employees at the Battletech Center in Chicago. We formed up teams to beat the daylights out of each other during our training. Back then the pods were only three on three. My two teammates were Wineman and Whisper. They insisted I pick a name that starts with W. Wicced just came to me.


I think I've seen you a few times. I remember talking with Whisper on more than one occasion. It was kinda rare for me to go all the way to north pier to play but I loved it every time. Thanks for being part of it.

Well, I know I mentioned this in a different thread but I'll duplicate it here, just not verbatim. I started this as my callsign at the Chicago Battletech Center (it was BuckyG at the time) and was taken from a comedy bit done by Steven Wright (the album was "I have a Pony" recorded in the late '80's or early 90's), I've also used this as my Mechwarrior RPG character name ever since.

It's my profession. Started with Help Desk/Tech support ("Hey it's the PC guy"). Used it as a vanity plate for a number of years. Moved on to do networking, training and then software engineering. I generally use SHODAN as an avatar.

Dropped the vanity plate when they kept calling me Pac-Man. D@mn newbs!

Picked up my Handle in 1995 on AOL MPBT Solaris......when it asked me for a handle....for some reason I was thinking about my uncle and some of the crazy crap he pulled when he was growing up and the cops all Nicknamed him Wild Bill......SO I said That will work.


even now 17 years later I still play with the same group of guys and even though they all know my real Name I am still Called Bill so its one of those things you never change

I got tired of using my usual online handle (Adventdraconis), so I went with something vaguely Scottish. Freedom for Skye, baby.

well the only way I could describe running circles around assaults with a fast heavy with low caliber auto cannons a'blasting, lasers a'blazing, and missiles a'shreaking leaving the victim in a pile of smoky molten metal and ferro glass. is steamrolling.

and I'd imagine the stig would be a god at the helm of a battlemech.
