Why? Fist/Han-shan/etc. is a person of many names and many alts... Is Han-shan an alt of Fist or Fist an alt of Han-shan? Judging by the mere number of posts? 542 is more than many, many non-alts have.[Syl Embattled] wrote:Not an alt. Moved.

Well, for one thing, Fist and Faith is a mod, and mods aren't alts (and while some mods are alt-rockers, that's something entirely different).

Fist? One of these? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Old_Mods_photo.jpg
And I thought one of the mods was an alt for sure, he suggested that himself)
A more practical question - I thought there were going to be warnings to make people hurry up a day before closing the nominations, like earlier, but decided better to ask just in case - are there going to be any?

From Wiki:
This might have something to do with it. They are also satire which is generally not to my taste (I know he's comedy, but I can't read Prachett either ).In 1986 the trilogy won the Prometheus Hall of Fame Award, designed to honor classic libertarian fiction.

Thanks, your wriggleness, sir. I truly appreciate that, even more than the nomination.
I was never sure you noticed while we were co-mods...
Although thank you to Effy for the nomination, as well!

You're very welcome)
Really could hardly be said better Worm of Despite), thanks for the support of my nomination and such a wonderful explanation - though one I don't exactly agree with on one point - I agree with the part about Menolly's work - maybe it just seemed to you that you didn't do much yourself)
And... exception? What about AllMother then? Oh, and not like I expect much from this argumentation, kevinswatch.ihugny.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=901598#901598

Good point.Effaeldm wrote:And... exception? What about AllMother then?
Although I'll admit while I believe AllMother to be the only GM mod to create an alt account for the purpose, I do think of GT alts as separate from other Watch alts. Onos T'oolan is a mod of a regular Watch sub-forum, hence me pointing him out to the sheriff...
