Alternate Accounts

[Bears With Lasers]

I guess I should note that I use a university PC a whole bunch, and have no idea how many others do.

[Woot Spitum]

I'm also a college student, and I know at least two other people on the same campus who have accounts, including my roommate. I don't know exactly how the IP adress thing works, but for the record, Woot Spitum, Hzurr, and jjpickar are three different people.

[Katonta]

*sigh* I just make my first alt, to start anew with a clean slate, and then I see this. Oh well, just close Valentine W she barely was alive

[Antagonist]

Right, this account was originally an alt for my Murky_Pool account.

However various problems with the Murky_Pool account have annoyed me sufficiently to want it killed.

I would like Murky_Pool to be merged with this one and for Antagonist to be the main.

If, after doing this, my account still manages to delete or reset itself then I'll take that as a sign and quit for good.

Thank you

[Renegade Paladin]

Since he's back to posting, Exileman is my roommate. He's not on the same computer, but we share a router. Not sure how that'd show up.

[Goff]

Serpentine and I live together and use each other's computers quite a bit for posting, thought that it couldn't hurt to make sure there's no mistaking us for alts etc.

[darkblade]

No alts but it should be noted Manal is my little sister.

[Maelstrom]

Er, Bears with Lasers banned? And just after he noted that he was using a University 'puter?

As to my aliases, I had one years ago, but for the life of me cannot remember what it was...Only used it once or twice, then promptly abandoned it.

[Jalil]

I would like ivanmckilliagin merged into this account please.

[Dragonmuncher]

Just curious- what are some these abuses stemming from alts? I never go into the Town, so I wouldn't know about that.

Hmm... only things I can think of are people padding the votes in the Contest section, and people playing more than one character at once in the PbP section.

The first group is just really, really... sad. And the second group just makes me sort of blink *imagines a six-person party actually all controlled by a single person*

[[..]Stigma[..]]

Okay, I want my old account; General Leitmann - to be assimilated into this current account, please and thanks

[Matthew]

I think it is more to do with banned people creating new accounts to circumvent their banning?

[Jacob Orlove]

Or even just people creating new accounts to avoid accumulating enough infractions to get a ban in the first place.

[J_Muller]

That's clever...

*makes a note of that trick*

[purple_smurf]

Before I made this account I tried to make an account that didn't work, the e-mail wouldn't send (after trying EVERYTHING) so I gave up and made a new one. So, my old (non-functional) one is called DMincarnate (maybe DMIncarnate ?) and my new (current one) is purple_smurf.

[Jacklu]

right... good thing I checked the board issues forum today or else I might have missed this one. The alt accounts that I have are Pinky and Brain, Aniqua, and one more that I can't remember. Shippo* is my brother and Aribin* is currently living with us. My alt accounts can be merged but I would like Jacklu to remain my main account.

*spelling might not be right.

[Harold]

I have a different one vulture72. i'd like to keep harold though.

[cykessa]

Hi,

I just saw this post. "Cykessa" is my account. "Accolon" is my husband's account. We have more than one computer in the house, but we share them. They also use the same wireless modem and network. (I have no idea how an IP address works, so I don't know if this matters.)

Please do not ban us. If you have to ban one of us, ban me please. my husband logs on a lot more than I do.

Thanks!

Cykessa

[KazilDarkeye]

My neighbour sometimes uses my computer and his account name is

Dimension 5150

(I don't know if he's actually posted though)

[The Bunny]

HellPuppi and I share the same computer.

Just made my account but didn't want either of us to get banned

[Serpentine]

Just curious- what are some these abuses stemming from alts?

There's also the whole alter-egos and fake personas thing, too.

[Sir_Norbert]

You can do that with a single account too :P

[Tarken]

My lil' bro Harold and I (He likes to say:Harold the Orange) share a computer, well actually 3... but it's the same internet connection

[Wordmiser]

Whether or not it's important (if this is still being monitored or if this thread is even checked at all anymore), I may be on record (depending on how the system works) as Dr. Weasel.

I suppose I should request a ban on that account because I randomized its password and e-mail address to block my own access to this site during a several-week stretch of heavily-weighted college exams.

[Zed "Mal" Sohn]

Oops, I didn't notice this rule...
You can merge this with Commodore Fluffy, because this is OBVIOUSLY his.

[CommodoreFluffy]

YAY! It worked, I think...

Some people have requested that a mod _close_ their account for a set period of time when they needed a barrier between themselves and posting temptation and/or to demonstrate that commitment to parental units; a "Closed Account" can be re-opened later, although I don't know how one would get in contact and request it. . . .The practice sprung up recently, probably before you randomized, but randomizing isn't necessary any more.

[shadow slayer]

Me and quinsar usually use the same computer

[TwoCents]

"Daryk" and I share four children, a house, two computers, and one ISP provider.

[Ya Ta Hey!]

I have a former account that I couldn't access anymore due to password issues, which led to the creation of this one. I've never used the two concurrently, and it wasn't an attempt at ban evasion, but I guess something should be done so that it isn't eating up memory.

Obviously, I can't post in the supplemental thread. Am I out of luck for getting it merged/erased?

The account is too_many_tamale
