Suicide_Junkie???(is this how you play??Damn the odds and full speed ahead??)

Lol. Not quite. In fact, my strategy is just the opposite. I like to build ships that will never die. Often I have to force myself to cut out some defense for an extra gun mount . See my DN design.
I also find it fun to see how close I can cut it, yet still win a battle without losing a ship (severe damage is good, blowing up is bad)

I first started using "Heavyweapons" for games, such as my Scorched Earth type game (in VB), which was very popular at highschool. (With only four computers facing away from the teacher/supervisor's desk, competition was fierce )
I chose my new name when I had to register for forums and stuff on the net, and everything seemed to already be taken.
After struggling for a few days, trying to come up with something original, I landed on Suicide Junkie.
It was interesting, and not too serious (addicted to suicide?!?) and I couldn't come up with anything else, so there it is.

[Saxon]

I honestly don't remember, I have been using it for over 20 years now. There is a band by that name, but I never listened to them. Maybe it is because it has an "X" in it, who knows what your are thinking when you only have one digit in your age.

[LeTharg]

Aside from inertia being my best quality, LeTharg is general enough to fit into a variety of universes from fantasy to futuristic.

[Askan Nightbringer]

Well Askan was my birth name, meaning "The First Son" in the ancient language of the People. The Nightbringer aspect is a title granted through deeds, meaning "To Bring Hope" (The People of Night believe utter darkness is the perfect State).

[Magnum357]

Nothings really special about my nickname (Magnum357). I'm kind of a gun freak and collect guns as a hobby. I choosed Magnum357 because it is probably my most favorite calibure for a hand gun (versital ammunition, cheap, and much more powerful then the 9mm's out thier )

[Str8_Gain]

Str8_Gain comes from "straight gain", an engineering term used in analog design. "Straight Gain" when applied to operational amplifiers means 100% gain with no distortion to the input waveform.

Guess you can tell I'm an EE, huh?

[Possum]

Years ago, I found myself in a politically difficult situation at work. After a change of department managers, it became clear the new shirt was looking for an excuse to get rid of me.

I needed to keep the job, so I set out to not give him an excuse. I came in early, stayed late, took short lunch breaks, and generally made sure that anytime he walked into my repair lab, I had my head down and was working on something.

My co-workers teased me about "playing possum", and from there it just stuck...

By the way, that company eventually went tits-up, but I kept my job until the 5th round of layoffs
