You really shouldn't stress about it, what happens when the US shuts down MMO's because they're a haven for terrorists? Then we're all stuck with our real mains, ourselves. Which I imagine some of you have left to languish in neglect for half a decade, covered in fat and unwashed neck hair. That's what I'd be worried about.

I'll have you know my neck-beard is glorious, and full of health and vitality.

This is my main.

Question.

When your digging through the numerous posts quoting everything.Do you have 2 windows open gathering material from each post as you scroll through? or do you just fingerscroll through adding stuff to a notepad named "quotes"?

Seems like alot of work.

Work to me is like,Goin through my new strain of Vizans Haze 1.0 (a mix of Northern Lights Super Skunk and Blueberry haze)lookin for budrot and unwanted insects.Or maybe courtin my wife into makin me another sammich.


/effort

Signatures wer cooler when we couldn't remove them completely.

First, Kudos on your strain. It sounds pretty nice. Hopefully I will see it in CA soon. Secondly, I use 2 windows so I can get enough quotes in a single post to snipe an entire thread.

Mmmmm sammiches

And yet you are replying to a thread created by an alt....in which over half the posts are by alts.....

How do you even know this is about posting with mains or alts if you haven't read anything Shocked

I don't log in - I don't need to. My very existence griefs people. They see my name, and they instinctively fill with rage and indignation. Deny it all you want - but if you didn't care, you wouldn't have posted, would you?

While some are legitimately intelligent, more often than not its either criminally dumb or obnoxiously arrogant losers that have to hide the fact that they are complete failures at the game which interestingly enough contrasts with the fact that they post clueless bollocks anyway.

Seems harsh.

Anyway, I found this take quite interesting from another thread:

only 3 types of people post on their main.

1) People with no static assets
2) Those with lotsa numbers to hide behind
3) STUPID people

Does it count if it is a forum main?

I mean, with so many accounts how can one decide which is truly a main? Hell, my most used character changes weekly. I kind of agree with the princess bride alt up there, but at the end of the day I can just log off and go play Hello Kitty's Island Adventure if I feel threatened by your professional pixels.

If you are going to talk smack on the forums, you should back it up. An alt holds no credibility. If you are going to take internet spaceships so seriously that you think hiding your main really matters, then your main should probably be able to back up your claims.

TLDR: People that hide behind alts aren't that important anyways.


You appear to be arguing both sides of the argument......As well as growing incredibly hypocritical towards the end as you talk smack on your forum alt...

Please seek immediate help for your multiple personality disorder....I recommend you biomass all of your toons in order to let you focus on your recovery. Its for your own good.

I am not arguing both sides of the argument at all. I suggest you re-read it.

I also never said you couldn't smack talk.

And when did I say this was a forum alt?

It's a forum for a spaceship video game, some of you faggots take this way too seriously.

Imo, if you won't post it on your main, its probably not worth posting anyway.

I agree, which is why I don't post on my main.

One thing I’ve noticed is a complete failure, despite 5 pages of replies, to address the points made in my OP. It gives enemies free intel. No one has argued otherwise. It also exposes your main to flack from powerful and rich enemies. The only argument I’ve heard contrary to this is that it “provides a more target rich environment” or “proves I’m not afraid”. That’s very John Wayne, but frankly is the equivalent of a general offering a weak excuse for fighting on multiple fronts simultaneously. Anyone care to actually respond to my OP point by point?


What kind of intel would that be aside of the fact that some PVP characters, usually with a deep red security status, are interested in crime related topics? I would like to correct the statement. You guys don't take the game too seriously. You take yourselves too seriously.

If you use your main you put your posts into context in relation to the game. It is easier to value a reply if you have more information about the person writing the post. Using only alts would be the equivalent to not showing the author of a post at all. I don't know if that would be sensible or readable anymore.

Another exception is the player who has many accounts. Such a player has many "mains" and may even trade characters regularly in the character bizarre. However, many players have only one or two "mains" and therefore maintaining their integrity and reputation is important.


So you're saying that the best integrity and reputation is to basically have none, to be silent and don't have an opinion.
I think most people have that in real life already and are looking for a change in videogames.

Well, to quote an old saying:

'Tis better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.

That has some relevance in real life if you consider yourself a fool, but even more in spacepixels!

The saying has nothing whatsoever to do with whether you *consider yourself* a fool......Oops

But thanks for providing an example P
