Who else are we?

[MsMary]

Well, then, you can see the source of my confusion.

[Frostheart Grueburn]

It took me more than two months to figure out the obvious! Just think how I will do with the others.

Pfft, it took you two days to Swedish-ize mine again.

[MsMary]

Isn't Frostheart a recent name change?

[Obi-Wan Nihilo]

Exnihilo2
Exnihilotto
Ron Burgunihilo

That is all. Stay classy Kevinswatch.

I understand the fun in having an alter. My favourite is Dread Poet Jethro, the superb haikuist. I enjoy not knowing who's alter it is. I have fun trying to figure out who shows that mastery of language in their 'normal' posts.

When I came back, it was obvious some longtime members had changed their names, but I've never been able to figure out who they were before.

MsMary, if you have time you can do a little sleuthing by searching the person's old posts because when somone is quoted or addressed in old posts their tag at that time is what remains archived.

Or you could just ask the person (Unless it's in the 'Tank they won't snap at you, thinking it's a conspiracy and demand justification, links and evidence to back up the request )

Your various names are so similar, I always knew it was you.

I enjoy the Dread Poet Jethro, too. I think it was revealed recently who it is, but I don't remember who.

Oh, I know that. That's how I figured out Frostheart was a name change. But it's time-consuming.

I don't really care that much except when someone who is talking who I think I should know and can't figure out who it is.

[Dread Poet Jethro]

My ears were burning
Thank you "u" and MsMary
Glad you like my work

Yes, I've been outed...
But let's keep that to ourselves
What does it matter?

Who's behind the mask?
It may be a harlequin
Or just a farm boy

Took me a few seconds to figure out who Frostheart is. Well, I remembered that was her post)

That's actually how I usually trace the name-changing people, I look through their old posts in the search.

And I got to join the praise to Dread Poet Jethro)

I never tried to write haiku, interesting, maybe I'll try...

Never wrote haiku
May I be inspired now?
I'll thank you for that

[Dread Poet Jethro]

*Throws up some more of the glowing, fiery dust and says: "Now the innocent worried or curious people may come and look and dispel their confusion, but should a cheater come and look and use the meta-knowledge to spoil the games, he/she/it has to suffer the consequences: smelling like fruits rotting under the Sun of Pestilence, like Cthulhu's old socks, and thus until dropping that behavior and taking part in the role-play well"*

Maybe sticky this one? lorin suggested having a sticky topic with alts, and looks like this one is not too intuitive. And perhaps rename it a bit - add that it's about alts, the name is a bit poetic) Something like "Who else are we? Alts list"

Also, as more of a mild suggestion - perhaps it will be better to hide the alt names under spoilers, in other topics as well, if possible. Some people prefer to guess them, not to stumble upon. And having them under spoilers at least can maybe make those who have alts more comfortable with having them known - at least those interested not to get shaken out of the role-play mood may not look under the spoilers. And for anyone interested to know it's not any much difference - unless they don't know how to use spoilers, and the lack of such knowledge should better get known and fixed.
