I have a confession to make

Not so long ago (or was it forever), some rather self-assured "vets" on the board (with lots to say about what everyone else says) made the claim they could smell an alt posting from a mile away. Not one to turn down a challenge, I then took it upon myself to see if this claim was actually true. So....

I began posting with my two alts. Who are they? Wouldn't you like to know? As I've said before I write fiction, and it is a challenge to write characters that are believable, I'm sure all would agree (with the obvious). SO.....

Serene Repose is my female truck driver. She's clever, but not too smart. She's nice...but not too nice.

Pok Nibin is my ham-handed, nobody could possibly like this guy Amarrian fighter pilot.

I just had to confess. After all, it's our last year together as a species, and I'd hate to go to the great beyond with this hanging over me. Which brings me to another point...on December 11th, send me all your stuff. I'll see it's properly taken care of.

PS Now don't go lyin' and claim you knew all along. Heaven forbid anyone on this forum could keep quiet about something THAT long.

Paradise is like where you are right now, only much, much better.

Yep, and yet totally unrelated to worth of post or opinion.
Exclude some of Goon posters, opinions are usually not based on the in-game character.

Well, thanks for being so open, I found this somewhat interesting.

But I would much rather know who the dev alts are- it has been said several times already that many devs post with alts on the forums- any suspects or wild theories?

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

lol most vets from what I've seen on this forum who posture themselves are uptight and self-important little twats who think because they write in caps and insult people they're automatically correct, you get them in RL except the caps are replaced by talking loudly. I wouldn't bother with them too much, in fact I'm considering using the block function on them for once because some of their comments and arguments really are that stupid.

One of my favourite things is how they use quote spamming to cover up how little they write, sure it's fun to troll them sometimes, but most of the time it's better to not even acknowledge them and give them an excuse to carry on.

For people to be able to have a guess at who your alts are they have to know who you are first :p
