Alt posting best posting and it creates frustration to some paranoid unsocial dudes, then it's OP success.


I just thought of something when reading this.

Alt posting on these forums is like AFK cloaking. Even though you're not really doing anything or sacrficing anything or putting yourself at any risk at all, you're still upsetting people!

It's amazing really.

Except I feel like the group of people who AFK cloak and the group of people who alt post are rather disparate.

Well you've been asked to stop dragging this thread off-topic with your bad-posting "zim" - I suggest you do that. If you want to post a new topic to discuss how an in-character chat-channel called "la maison" justifies the campaign of harassment you guys have attempted over the last five years then be my guest. I'll be glad to discuss these things (and keep asking you the question you appear incapable of answering - there.)

But until then lets get back to discussing "alt-posting" as the nice ISD volunteer moderator suggested.

No reason not to post with your main, unless your afraid to deal with someones opinion
that may differ from yours. If you got a beef with someone you deal with them on the battlefield, not the forums like some child. Cool

I almost never post with my alts, they are both loud-mouthed annoying asshats who drink way too much and smash beer cans on their heads.

I guess calling you out on your fallacious claims that we've made public claims that you've been a RL prostitute, involved in child pornography, child-sex abuse or being a pedo, is "evasive nonsense".


tbh I've heard goons do this stuff all the time on our channels during operations; granted its not supposed to be public but people do go off on it all the time.

I grow weary of your constant evasion of the core of this issue, which is that whenever someone mentions "space brothel", "la maison" or the like, you spring forth with your crackerjax link and claiming that this, this is proof that we've sent you things to your workplace, fabricated websites which were purported to be under your control (including erotic fan fiction), called you a RL prostitute, involved in CP, child-sex abuse or being a pedo. And every time you're pushed on this, you completely ignore it.


lol Lord Zim that crackerjax link is exactly the same as the wiki page on Constantine I remember seeing last year when it was linked in fleet by one of our fc's vov - it does say Jade is putting drugs in children's fizzy pop for bad purposes.

Fact: http://web.archive.org/web/20040724180503/http://www.mordante.demon.co.uk/Maison.htm This is a copy of the website you made. It is referenced from http://community.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=794696. You confirmed that it had been copied from your server, you've made no claims that it was altered, and you're referencing something called the "elariel pleasure gardens security detail", whatever that is, plenty of references to "space-wine while being courted by my noble suiters" in http://community.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=794696&page=2#48, and barely a "it's not actually a brothel you know..." in defense. That's the space brothel/la maison taken care of.


Well that link goes to lolCSM slander post says goons copied a website and rehosted it to troll with. Was lamaison a cyber brothel or not really? Pehaps someone has some chatlogs to lol at.

What a thread to make a first eve-o forums post.

To answer your question, i can see myself posting with an alt if i wanted to buy something atrociously costly in the Buy/Sell/Trade parts of the forum. I'm not particularly fond of practicing conspicuous consumption.

Funnily enough that's probably a fair use of it ... arranging a supercap transfer would be a bit silly to use your main for if you wanted a bit of operational security or something.

The main reason to alt post is to 'harvest tears'.

If you are part of a big bad organization and wish to harvest tears you set up an alt and complain about your big bad organization. You can then come back with your main and 'harvest' tears.

I htink 95% of all 'tears' posts are this type...and that 95% is probably too low.

has no alts
has no mains

But agree with others, most do it for reasons already stated, like being free to badmouth same corp your "main" is in etc etc.

I have many accounts so more than one main. There are some of my mains that I will never post with. Because I do not want in game contact from the forum to those characters, because I would rather not draw attention to them, they stay off the forums.

  - remove the cloaked from local; free intel is the real problem, not  "afk" cloaking -
