The hardest part was learning the grammar.

Really.


Language is so deeply thingied in the brain that it takes a lot of effort
to learn a different grammar, when you're not used to learning languages.


Beating the grammar problem really was the hardest part ...
... although afterwards it seems kind of silly.


The best way to hide yourself is to make sure you hide in plain sight.

Giving everyone a specific, strong hint which gets me caught easily
is probably one of the smartest stunts I pulled. Maybe. ;)

Cool

I thought you'll become my alt :(

I'm too old to be in the Big Brother program anymore.
I have my own little brother to look after now.

Adopt An Alt Foundation would like to remind everyone alts are for life, not just for christmas

I don't always have a signature; but when I do, it doesn't say anything at all

I haven't logged my first ever online character on in many months. As to EVE, this is my main.

Edit: Something grammar. I had a forum alt at one time because I was banned from a forum. It seems my typing style is quite distinctive, so I went about disguising that. I pretended to be a German who had English as a second language.
The strangest thing of all was that people paid more attention to what I was saying and accepted my ideas more readily as a result. Same message, different method.

Oh, it also spun my head around. I found that it was altering the way that I would think, in a detrimental fashion. Example, have a look at Nimroy's talks about how playing Spock made him colder and more logical, which he did not enjoy.

Not even once

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.

The alt song ...





I am alt, hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an' pretend
'Cause I've heard it all before
And I've been down there on the floor
No one's ever gonna keep me down again

Oh yes, I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to, I can do anything
I am strong
(Strong)
I am invincible
(Invincible)
I am alt

You can bend but never break me
'Cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal
And I come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer
'Cause you've deepened the conviction in my soul

Oh yes, I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to, I can do anything
I am strong
(Strong)
I am invincible
(Invincible)
I am alt

I am alt watch me grow
See me standing toe to toe
As I spread my lovin' arms across the land
But I'm still an embryo
With a long, long way to go
Until I make my brother understand

Oh yes, I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to, I can face anything
I am strong
(Strong)
I am invincible
(Invincible)
I am alt

I am alt
I am invincible
I am strong
I am alt
I am invincible
I am strong

Wait.. weren't you accused of being my alt not too long ago? Learn your place before I deactivate the account you're on!

I cant risk another character of mine running amok. Last time it cost me like 2bil ISK in court cost over a paternity case..



Yes but the Jovian She-male was quite happy with the result apparently, of said case...

Syntax, morphology and lexicology for 4 different languages (including a signed one).
I'd go mad if I had to like actually speak them also :P

This is an alt. It mines and posts on the forums. It has about 22 days of training.
My main ironically is also in an NPC corp. So far he dabbles in everything except wormholes and recently started skulking around some lowsec systems. Does need to get out to null to hang with some friends out there for a while.

I post with my alt because my main is an a-hole.
