I usually use Black Fox, or second is Vulpes Velox (which is latin for Swift Fox). I used to play a video game called Star Fox as a younger child, and when my parents bought their first computer I went nickolodeon.com (I feel like a dumb@$$ telling you this). I tried signing up with Star Fox. Taken. I got silly and put Invisible Fox. Taken. Red fox. Taken. Black Fox was availible and somehow it just stuck with me. Vulpes Velox was an endangered animal I read about, and used that sometimes as a subsitute for Black Fox.
Hello.
My first nickname in my first online game was
kill_me_shooter
as i thought this could help me getting a steeper learning courve.
As c4 does not admit more than 15 characters it changed soon to
kill_me{FWD}
Now it is
*[FWD]*KM
as i do not want anyone to feel insulted by my nickname or to think i would be suicidal.
My first online game was C4 and when I first started playing on line it was at the time when suddam hussain was still the boss in Iraq and the US/UK assault had only just started.
I was a newbie (like we all were) and I died all the time no kills to my name and I had usually about 20 deaths lol
Because I was loosing badly all the time I thought I would call myself “So Dam Insane” it’s better than Griffon and I like to see suddam hussain lose all the time hehehe
Anyway time went by and I got better and then I was asked to join a new squad being formed called <CoN> but the tag would not fit after the name!! So I lost the insane bit and kept the So Dam!!
And from that day to this it has never changed lol
Thats really interesting Santa AkA SoDam , I for 1 always wondered what your name came from. Now I Know !!
Cool sig also duder...
Well thx guys!!
I guess I have a bit of explaining to do now lol
This sig was made by someone called wolf hound I don’t know him much but he used to play BHD with R~A~B.
Then R~A~B cast a magic spell and updated the sig for me.
I think is much better!! I just havent got round to updating my profile here!!
To explain Santa AkA So Dam!!
I tried but I could not create an account name here using just So Dam!! As an account name!!
I go by the Alias “Santa” during the Xmas month of December just for kicks!! So I used it to create an account name here, thats why Santa AkA So Dam!!

Sorry R~A~B fixed it now buddy!!
LOL very interesting revealations!!!!
OK My turn:
My fist C4 nick was E5B. I was a radio operator in the Marines, an a personal call sign consisted of one's pay grade and the 1st letter of one's Last name. So since I was enlisted my personal call sign was E5B. Enlisted=E, 5= Rank or pay grade E-5 or Sergeant, and B the 1st letter of my last name. I thought that really looked bad, so I thought to get a nick that sounds good and strikes people when they see it.
So I thought to use HotShot, so if I killed players and did some good flying players would ask: what are you a hotshot or something? hehe Also, since we use stingers, players may think oh he means Hot Shot cause the stingers are hot and blow you up. LMAO
Well, that's my story and I really was glad to hear the story of others. Especially RAB's, So Dam's, and Joggl's explanation, cause I always wondered how they came to use those nicks LOL!
Cya all around.
May a song always touch u in a possitive way.
Not quite rookie enough to stick with Griffin, chose an intro level course on "stingers". Doesn't seem I'll ever reach the 200 level courses though...
Hello Gentlemen...
When I first started playing c4, I chose the name Widowmaker, because, being an Aviation Engineer, I have worked on the F-104 Starfighter in Germany. I found out, at that time, that the Starfighter was nicknamed 'The Widowmaker' because it was always killing its own pilots, it had an inherant design problem. It was designed to fly fast. but to land it, it had to fly slow, this caused a great deal of unstable air flow effects on the wings, and if the pilot was not very careful the aircraft would flip it nose up and do a backward summersault just at the crucial time of touchdown, the Starfighter was probably the hardest aircraft to land. My c4 experience was very limited at first (we've all been there!) and I just thought "I'm gonna die here" hence Widowmaker.
I later changed my name to Phaser, after a Sepecat Jaguar pilot I once flew with and admired, he was a bit of a cowboy and could break the sound barrier then slow down enough to let the sonic wave catch up to him. The only person I ever knew who could do that! He used to entertain us this way every time he did a landing circuit of the runway. Sadly he was KIA in the first Gulf War. But his memory lives on.
