| Normally, users are allowed to maintain three separate [[callsign | callsigns]] to use ingame. This allows players to log in with a new [[callsign]] in the event they were kicked off a team and are unable to rejoin. In addition, it allows players to "hide" ingame as an alter-ego. (This is why secondary [[callsign|callsigns]] are also called "Hiders").
| | __NOTOC__ |
| | A '''Callsign reset''' is when everyones [[Callsign#Hiders|hider callsigns]] are [[Linking Callsigns|unlinked]] from their [[Callsign#Primary_Callsign|primary callsign]]. Callsign resets are performed twice a year, typically in the middle of the summer and the middle of the winter. |
|
| |
|
| Since only three callsigns are allowed per user, once three have been created and used it is impossible for a user to log in with a new "fourth" callsign.
| | This allows you to create two completely new [[callsign]]s to use as Hiders. Note that it is still impossible to have more than 3 total callsigns; and that you can't "get rid of" your primary callsign (although you can change it, as explained [[Callsign#Primary_Callsign|here]]). |
|
| |
|
| ==What is a Callsign Reset?==
| |
| Every six months this list of three callsigns is erased, allowing users to choose new "hiders."
| |
|
| |
|
| ==When are Callsign Resets performed?== | | ==What happens to the old usernames?== |
| Callsign resets are performed twice a year, typically in the middle of the summer and the middle of the winter.
| | Nothing happens to any usernames that you have created, they are neither deleted nor disabled. You can still log on with them if you wish, and no one else can "steal" them - unless the name is so old it has been [[Callsign Reclamation|reclaimed]]. |
|
| |
|
| ==What happens to my hiders after a reset is performed?== | | ==Adding new usernames== |
| Nothing happens to it; it is neither deleted nor is it disabled. When you log into any of the callsigns you have created, it is added to your list of three until that list is filled.
| | Adding new hiders is done in the same way, with the same restrictions, as [[Callsign#Hiders|usual]]. |
|
| |
|
| ==What happens to my primary(main) callsign after a reset is performed?== | | ==Can you remove ________ from my list of three so I can use another hider?== |
| Nothing happens to it; it is neither deleted nor is it disabled. Your primary callsign is the only callsign that will remain on your list of three.
| | Yes. It will be removed the next time a callsign reset is performed. |
| | |
| ==If my hiders still exist after a reset, can't someone else take them from me?==
| |
| No. All callsigns are protected with a password. As long as you keep your password safe, nobody else will be able to log into or "steal" your old callsign.
| |
| | |
| ==How are callsigns added to my list of three?==
| |
| By logging into it. When you log in with a callsign, the system will add it to your list of three unless the list is already full.
| |
| | |
| ==What happens if I try to log in with a fourth callsign?==
| |
| The system will allow you to log in, but it will override the callsign you typed with the last-used callsign on your list of three. You will end up ingame with your last-used callsign instead of the one you typed into ASGS.
| |
|
| |
|
| ==Can you remove ________ from my list of three so I can use another hider?==
| |
| Yes. It will be removed the next time a callsign reset is performed. See "When are Callsign Resets performed?" above.

A Callsign reset is when everyones hider callsigns are unlinked from their primary callsign. Callsign resets are performed twice a year, typically in the middle of the summer and the middle of the winter.
This allows you to create two completely new callsigns to use as Hiders. Note that it is still impossible to have more than 3 total callsigns; and that you can't "get rid of" your primary callsign (although you can change it, as explained here).
What happens to the old usernames?
Nothing happens to any usernames that you have created, they are neither deleted nor disabled. You can still log on with them if you wish, and no one else can "steal" them - unless the name is so old it has been reclaimed.
Adding new usernames
Adding new hiders is done in the same way, with the same restrictions, as usual.
Can you remove ________ from my list of three so I can use another hider?
Yes. It will be removed the next time a callsign reset is performed.
