No right or wrong here; just wondering...

My main has been in a coma for so long that I fear he has lost touch with all the changes ccp has brought to 'our' game.

I supported the, "warp to zero" campaign but I'd say about 50/50 since then.

IMO: A Capital Ship should NOT be allowed to jump through a gate. I mean, have you seen how big they are?

I have a stable of characters.

My oldest was created in early '06 when I discharged from the military and went back to school.
That's not my main, though It was for a time.

Later I created a new character on a new account during the summer of '07 when I forgot my credentials for the first account.
That's not my main, though it was for a time.

Sometime before the release of the Sister's ships, I made a new account to make a Sister of EvE.
That's not my main, though it was for a time.

I made Gadget just before the Great Industry Changes because I always wanted to play around with industry, but pretty much felt blocked from entering due to the closed nature of research at the time.
She's not my actual main, but she was for a time.

My most recent character was created when I stepped away after being discouraged by the IronBank mess and the opening of SP sales. I came back for a lark just as the shoot-a-rat-for-SP thing started, and I wanted to start fresh and see how far I could get.
Then they can canned the SP opportunity system. Meh, to see it go, but it did bring me back to the game.
That character is not my main, but it was for a bit.

So, since Gadget is my public face, I'm pretty sure she's the closest character I have to a Main at this time.

Do Little was created as a forum ALT - hence the name. Someone told me it was the right thing to do if I wanted to be active on the forums. Nowadays he does quite a bit as a well trained member of my industry team but he doesn't fly often or far. He only needs to undock to collect his PI.

I imagine none of the forum alts undock because of all the huge bounties and war decs they have accumulated from posting on the forums Roll

As for the question, I post on my main. I've occasionally posted with my industry alt and she flies very often. She's very active in game, making ISK. I just explodify it all.



Its wrong for people to hide behind an alt when making discussions that are bad advice, inflammatory, etc, because they're hiding from the consequences of actions on their main, mostly of people thinking their dumb but also of people maybe ganking them in game for what they said. Its wrong, and I for one will step up and claim it if OP won't.

Don't kid yourselves. Even the dirtiest pirates from the birth of EVE have been carebears. They use alts to bring them goods at cheap prices and safely, rather than live with consequences of their in game actions on their main, from concord to prices

I post with this character because I suck at this game and I don't want everyone laughing at me! I'm not really sure if I have ever played this character other than character creation, I actually was showing some one how to create a character when I made this one.

This guy goes through gates, sits as eyes and is currently parked in Jita.
The detective work to find my main requires 2 braincells and if anyone wants to wardec a -9 clown who lives in low/null, go for it.
Roleplaying weirdos who say 'post with your main' are just big silly gooses.

ET has always been my "talking" toon, both in chat channels and on the forums. In fact I had to come up with a reason to justify his sub years ago and so I sat in jita chatting to people and blapping the odd person. ET is also the most main of my mains in terms of SP and is more just sitting on his butt in a station chatting to people than playing but I do play him and have over the years. Now, not so much but hell still tell you whats on his mind without question.Twisted

A lot of people hate that I dont undock, for obvious reasons, but I dont care anymore really. When I join a new corp I always tell them that ET is my forum alt and if they understand the implications of me pissing someone off here and the repercussions of such before I continue to post. Its a courtesy imo.

Have you heard anything I've said?

You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?

That's right.

Wow, that was enlightening, the only thing I don't understand is the ones who said they don't understand the "No right or wrong", seems fairly straightforward to me. And I do understand that fully trained characters are not "alts" but the terms are interchangeable and "Alt" is only 3 characters so why not? The reason I use a designated forum rep (says so in the sig) is more convenience than anything else and as I've left the poor wretch in his boot NPC corp it just makes everything simpler. Wardec? Never have, and yeah, good luck WarDeccing the Royal Amarr Institute.

And you never know I may actually meet another poster in space one of these days.

Fly safe, kill'em all but me and I'll say something nice in the forums even if I have to lie.

How many players will read this post, not many so its pretty safe to post with a main since most don't really play full time. Roll

Er... I agree with the sentiment, but not the target.

The roleplaying wierdos understand that there is no "main".

Those posts are from players attempting to social engineer extra intelligence.

Never not post with your main. Accountability is all but dead these days.

Its easier to be a coward and post anonymously than to face the consequences of saying something that may offend. Nasty side effect the internet is having on this world lemme tell ya.

Everyone has something to say. No one wants to be held accountable for it. Unless it gets 100 likes. What?StraightRoll

Maybe I'm an alt or maybe I'm a second main. Perhaps you'll see me in local as I pass through.
There are those in this thread I've seen in local. I try to salute them as I pass, even if they'll shoot me if given a chance. (Hi CODE.)
