I hadn't considered that before. It would make sense why theres such paranoia and (self) loathing in EVE.

It has long since been established that my entire tiny alliance and every alliance we are in any way associated with is all one person.

This discussion we've been having with ourselves reminds me of this story that one of our other selves named Andy Weir wrote.

The paranoia would have been much more infectious if the question had been "What if every other player is just an alt of the same person?".

What if we all have Multiple Personality Disorder?

Has anyone lost any time or noticed 4.497 Million Dollars disappear from their Bank Account every Month?

Does that mean when someone quits a part of us dies.

We may be the Borg.

I'd say it would be an expensive bill to run the small power generator in his/her back garden needed just power all the monitors needed to run the game. Wonder how many PCs would likley be needed to run that many players simultaneously. Maybe th loan of a supercomputer?

Actually OP its a very clever conspiracy set out by interpol. You are being trained for a highly classified mission which can't be disclosed at this point, but involves space travel, and everyone else on here is in fact a paid actor by various governments to study and co-erce your thinking into the required pattern. Oh no, the men in suits are here .... they are trying to stop me from telling you about ......

Did the men in suits type the elipses at the end of this post, or was the period key somehow the only one Owly could reach as they dragged him away?

...and who pressed post!?

I MUST KNOW!

Confirmed.

Also, to run all these accounts costs me millions of dollars every month and I have severe carpel tunnel syndrome from all the micromanagement and forum posting I do.

There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call The Twilight Zone.

"We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?"

I'm so looking forward to Fanfest when we thow ourself a huge party and it's all about us! (maybe we'll hire a few actors or something so it's not going to be too awkward when we are the only person there and the media is covering it and stuff)

I think we'll have to get Dirk Benedict to play me/my alts/the non-fem alts.
