What if we came up with a mutually agreed standard for aliases? Could that work?

About 80% of the forum are manker/JP sock puppets. I myself am actually one of manker's alternative accounts.
Sounds like some weird creepy incenstuous ghostnicking has occurred
80% of the lounge or 80% of the rest of the forum?
I can't distinguish against you're (i'm talking to you, manker) many different english personalities/aliases if you do have them, but there *seem* to be some truly unique members from *my* vantage point, such as lilmiss,adster,busyman,j2k4,biggles,ect...
but getting back to the idea, couldn't we just lay down some etiquette? because i dont know about you, but pm'ing with someone who i think is female, and finding out it is a male, is rather unpleasant from this end.
just some simple guidlines like:
IF i use a clone THEN i'll tell you in pm before i ever let use the clone so you'll know ahead of time IF i know you well enough to trust you..
or something along those lines
Are you suggesting that if I decide to make a new account that I PM everyone with my A/S/L on the off-chance that they want to cyber?Quote:

Why does it matter, deal with people as you find them. You don't need your preconceived ideas before you read what someone writes.
It would be like, having an open mind before you read something.
sounds totally reasonable to me:unsure:
what if mathea is a guy :o
ok i'll start...
Mathea alias: notadster :shifty:
Adster alias: notmathea.
What does, hippie.Quote:

like someone walks up to you and starts talking to you and you bust out with "yeah manker's aight i think he told me he's got this new job he had applied for.."
i mean yeah it's cool and funny but dont' you ever get confused about how your different personalities should act toward each other and the rest of the world? you must be one of those mad genius types maybe? or is it no one pays attention enough to notice the discrepancies.
@jpaul- i dont' totally disagree with that. i'll sleep on it, and get back to one of you. preferable the one that likes me most! :)
if he exists
:o :angry: manker told me he didnt get the job and was keeping his old oneQuote:

and that cheese and him had reconciled their body and were now whole
youve ruined my life MediaSlayer good going
Everything i believed in was a lie.
I find it really easy to tell when someone adopts an alternative ID. Just look out for the unique grammar nuances - everyone has got them, even me :oQuote:

hey it took 2 months before I got caught out with this account..
it was BOTs genius that worked it out

One thing that neither of us knew, until just now, is that me, my missus and a couple of friends are driving down to Plymouth to meet me and my girlfriend for a cosy sixsome involving drinking dens and arm wrestling.
my bad, i wasn't clear enough about the pm thing to begin with.Quote:

posting style/grammatical tendencies:
there are a bunch that i've noticed. but the one i notice more is-
imho,
jp uses "like" in a unique way, that i(think) i can recognize most of the time not to mention the flow of ideas that's also noticeable
Tell me at least one half of you owns a cameraQuote:

You post monosyllabic drivel, which few people read. How or why would anyone "catch you out".Quote:

ah, one small problem though. won't you have more patience with someone you know, as opposed to someone who you don't?Quote:

but i do see your point, it is valid i'm not saying it isn't.
quote> Likewise if someone makes a good, witty, helpful or whatever post, acknowledge that. Or are you part of a heard and have to support other heard members and defend them against members of another heard
i was never a part of any heard, if you're referring to the "in crowd" here in the lounge, that i know of i was always railing against the "establishment" wasn't I? i was refering to just that kind of ugly favortism
show me three lists that i was ever included on
It's not about lists, or perceptions which others have. It's about the reality of relationships people form.
Some arse creating a list which includes manker, barbie, cheese and whoever else they decide is their perception.
Less lists, more taking things as you find them.
And on the bombshell I'm going for the big shop.
took the words out of my mouthQuote:

It's been a long time since I had an alter ego on here. And I can't remember Tu Quoque's pass any more (my latest one).
And anyways, telling people probably defeats the purpose of making one.

talking of "novels"... I really meant to write a short story, not a novel. However, this thread seems to me more "on topic", so I will continue the story of "The Black Diamond"in this thread, but first :slap: ... I nearly forgot..some beer and a smoke... :guinesssm
Check this thread too
In this thread you will find it! You will have to search very carefully indeed....

That's not to say I'm totally against it, there seems to be some advantages/disadvantages to both sides. All I was saying to begin with, is some kind of consensus could be reached on what is ok and not ok with regard to the extra nicks and how they behave.
To paraphrase Les, from the Drawing Room. You can't really have an Anarchy Party, it sort of defeats the purpose.Quote:

re your other point in relation to creating another character simply to troll. I couldn't agree more, I have seen it happen and it really is pathetic. It's an entirely different thing from doing it for comedic effect.
That's just our opinion tho'.
overall, i'm split about 60/40 against them atm. It would be more like 80/20 but you raised some good points in favor of them, and also I thought of one final advantage(of the aliases). If the forum ever lost so many members that the lounge actually got really dead and quiet for days at a time, it would naturally be alot more enjoyable for the few people left to have lots of different "people" to talk to.Quote:
