What's your Galactica callsign?

1. TFG and FT, have you fixed your callsigns already, are you gonna stick to Buntime and Tiberius?

I’m cool with Tiberius. In a battle, with time being precious, T. works.

[Topgun]

Oh man, what about Raemani ??

Bunny ? Rabbit ? J-Girl ? Bambie !!

Bambie, definitely!!

Maybe, but also it’s my understanding that in Europe, dates are commonly annotated with the day and month transposed (relatively speaking), with the day noted before the month.
Example: 21/9/07 (as if they were saying “21 September, 2007”)

I’ve often run into this when making ads that run in foreign publications.

ExacT-LY. This is why I messed them up. What? Why are you looking at me like that?

[SeelixSeesAll]

Is that your final answer?

yep. do it to it.

[Topgun]

BTW, thanks Solai for my cheesy callsign dogtag to go with my cheesy screenname !!

It’s cheesetastic! It’s cheeserific!

Great. Now I’m hungry.

Your confusion is probably based on me messing up some of the first ones. I have been going back and fixing them. The theory goes:

September 21, 2007 becomes 701290. Make sense? edit: Oh, and I add a letter for days where people joined at the same time. This mostly happened when the board opened up.

That makes sense now.

Yes. I mean no. You Americans transpose them. The same goes for addresses.

By the way, I’ve decided to go with ICEBOX now. I just like the cool ring that it has. And besides, Solai already me an Icebox dog tag, so who am I to argue. Beaver sounded like a kid’s name anyway.

Thanks Solai, already in the sig:D

OK Beaver !

HELP! How do I get my SHINY new dog tag in my sig?

[Cassiopia]

I pick " G Goo Girl " or just " GGG " or " Mouse "

Your choice. I do respond to the last one though. A leftover from childhood.

go into the dogtag thread, http://forum.galacticwatercooler.com/showthread.php?t=2373, right click and copy your tag, go into your user CP and then into your edit signature and hit paste …voila

[GalaxyRanger]

OK Beaver !

Argh. It’s Icebox now when I’m on duty trying to hold Racetrack’s Raptor steady while she’s staring out the window looking for Earth.

Keep your killer ants away from the jump drive, Beav…er, Icebox.

Good call, Tee. In a dogfight a four syllable callsigh like TIB-ER-I-US will take too long to say and get ya killed.

[GalaxyRanger]

Once we’re gonna start using abbreviations for our callsigns, everything’s gonna get pretty confusing. Mix that up with the normal OG and other abbreviations and we’re bound to lose any battle due to total communications blackout.

[ThotFullGuy]

Okay, forgive for being either slow or just overwhelmed, but

1. TFG and FT, have you fixed your callsigns already, are you gonna stick to Buntime and Tiberius?

2. Still unsure about mine, “Beaver” alone sounds a bit silly, but “Angry Beaver” might be too long. My avatar’s callsign is “Goose”, but I think it’d be lame just to copy that. “Tiger” sounds a bit short, too, but “Tigress” would be stupid.

I’m playing Audiosurf now, but will think about it in more detail later.

I still think Icebox just sounds cool, just like Iceman, even though I now know all its double and triple meanings. Thanks to urbandictionary.

Excuse me for being stupid, could you explain how that works just one more time?

I was …believe it or not…actually working…so I missed this post. But I think all your questions have been answered. Yes, I am officially Bunktime.
And you may be Icebox when we’re out on patrol. But when we’re in the pilot’s mess playing cards and drinking, I’m still calling you The Beaver.

I’m going to call you Boxy.

Hey, just tell everybody that after hanging with me all this time, your body switched to German time and that it’s almost 11pm and you really should be getting home now.

And you may be Icebox when we’re out on patrol. But when we’re in the pilot’s mess playing cards and drinking, I’m still calling you The Beaver.

I’m good with that. But you realize that we got to behave like gentlemen when Racetrack comes along?

I’m going to call you Boxy.

WTF! That’s even worse than Beaver.
