Sender back in Mechwarrior series and MPBT. Name was taken here which wasnt unexpected since I learned of this game late. So Forscythe is my fallback.

My handle started as Killer68 back on MPBT: Solaris on AOL around 1997 (I don't even remember anymore).

My first call-sign per say was actually for the C64 version of Gunship. The game prevented you from reusing pilot names for those KIA or MIA, so ultimately Top Gun and GI Joe taught me a I needed a call-sign, so I picked a helicopter flavored one - Cyclone

Now that's often already taken in many places so I often appended my last name to it creating CycloneKath or people shortened it to Cyc, so nowadays I favor a condensed version - CycKath

hah I think my first Online handle was XVIIslayer, cause I was 17 and emo.

My first MW callsign was ThunderSlayer (for MW4 where I played briefly for GB in the SL league) cause I wasn't 17 any more and... I thought it sounded cool.

My first Callsign was Stalker. Been using it ever since I was 13 playing TT with my brother. Used to name all my pilots after the mech they used and well... my commander piloted an STK-3F. Been using it on MMNet pretty much since MMNet came into existance. Unfortunately got here only last week so Stalker was already taken. As were all my usual back-up call signs.

Intruder was mine for the longest time when i was a kid, age 8-18 or so. I then moved on to IIntrude at some point for some reason I do not remember.

My very first brush with BT was a friend's rpg game in 1990ish. I was Jason Sonum Laque of the Antigonne (an-TIG-uny) a WarShip of some kind that I dont recall. Lotta mechs battling on the hull and decks of a massive fleet battle.

First MW action title was MW2 on Mplayer with the GL Ghost Legion then lead by GunSlinger. My callsign was Austerlund.. I think..

thats cool. I used to work on A6-E Intruders in the US Navy. I think I had Intruder as my callsign once or twice over my MW time.

BloodRaven, was my first. Now however, I find myself using Sizzles more often because of the whole unique names thing in games today.


Edit: No, it has nothing to do with 40k or D2.

Edit Edit: lol, just did members search on my usual name, none of those accounts are active. (yet)

Considering the only electronic Mechwarrior I've played has been in Tesla pods at conventions, I've used the handle 'Fox' there since it's easier to give out than trying to spell out Ramien.

Mine has always been TKG, which is a reference to the mech I piloted most in the Mechwarrior RPG.
