EVE General Discussion

This.

I find it profoundly amusing that some people derive a sense of elitism from posting on a particular pseudonym over another. They are all alts, in the sense of alternative personalities.

Also things like this:

Sensible precautions, which some like to bait the practitioners by calling "fear". It's not fear when we lock our front door when leaving our residences nor when we buckle up our seat belts in our cars. It is taking sensible precautions. All the name calling and baiting is designed to get you to abandon sense and do something that leaves you unnecessarily vulnerable.

So:



When a topic has relevance to stuff doing in game I do frequently post with a "main". But when discussing game balance or other activity that has zero to do with in-game activity and it makes no sense to expose that character and corp mates; posting on an alt that has no in game presence at risk makes more sense.

After all ideas to improve the game should stand or fall on their own merit.

So I say, post with your alt unless you have reason to do otherwise.

Nice demonstration of alt use to support one's own argument for the thread

But really, "zim" cannot be correct unless he proves his earlier assertion that the goon wiki mirror at http://crackerjax.org/gwiki/GoonWIki/wiki.goonfleet.com/Main_Page.html was not at one point an accurate copy of the goonwiki at the current site. I think he's currently claiming the crackerjax mirror is a complete fabrication (which is a pretty tinfoily thing to say) but it should be possible for him to demonstrate the truth of his words by a webcache of the goon-controlled site that shows a different content.

Jesus, does anyone read sigs? First DMC, now you... I also answered why on the first page.
E: lol, I can't brain today...


If it was, at one point, an accurate copy, so what? As I understand, it was originally a private site so they can say whatever the **** they want on it; it's entirely for their members.

I like to call that "sufficiently paranoid"

What is an Alt poast please ?





Serioulsy though, trolling, anonymity, paranoia, lots of other reasons, all of these ?

Who knows.

Personally, I read posts made by Alt's far less seriously than posts made by known players ingame, that's a fact.

A few of us were having a pretty trolly arguement about the war with Star Fraction. Someone was claiming the war went mutual at some point, but none of us could find a mutual declaration. So instead of doing any real work, would you like to clear that up for us Jade? I'm pretty sure that you didn't declare mutual.

He did not. Mutual wars cannot have allies for the defender, as there is no "defender".

Prove that the Website exists and further prove that it is hosted or otherwise controlled by Goonswarm leadership or members.

You are making the allegation. The burden of proof is on you.





crackerjax.org Doesn't look like a GSF site to me. Looks like it's owned by an anonymous user of some Canadian Registrar.

Goonfleet.com's owned by an anonymous user of GoDaddy.com, as is Goonswarm.com. Why would they use a Canadian registrar when they already have a relationship with america's worst registrar?

To start with, I have only one account. I'm getting the impression that an 'alt' is a second or later account? Or does a non-primary character on one's only account count?

If it's the latter, then I will be perfectly honest and say that the reason I post under Deriah is that when I logged onto Eve forums for the first time I entered my password and Deriah was first in cue. I simply clicked my way forward without thinking about which character was being represented because... believe it or not, all of my Eve characters represent ME without discrepancy.

So, if this is an 'alt' there is your reason for the first post. Now the question is: Why do I continue to post with Deriah?

After establishing an "e-Personality" with Deriah I found no reason to cloud the issue by introducing my 'main'. I would like to further address the OP by saying that you may as well take Deriah seriously. At the very least as seriously as you would take my main's or even my own opinion. There is no difference in the three. Because, as I have stated previously, all of my Eve characters represent me without discrepancy. The reason I can say this with confidence may come as a shockingly obvious surprise.... All of my Eve characters, including those that will be on separate accounts in the future, are actually all...

Wait for it....

Me.

Hi. I'm Mark.

There is no Deriah. It's a fictional character made up of statistics and pixels. Granted, all those characteristics were initiated by me, Mark. I am not fictional. But Deriah, largely, is.

Just on the off chance that you are not completely familiar with how this process works: Deriah actually cannot, and does not, post on these forums. I, Mark, am doing all the posting.

So, how could you care which Eve character is in the upper left corner of the post here? It's me. It's always me. It can't be any other person than me.

Me? I, personally, don't take you all that seriously. Main or no. I hope you don't take that personally.

Yes, it's got nothing to do with accounts, it's all about alternative characters.
