i was browsing a forum and ran accross a post by someone who Posts as multiple people. so all you people saying i'm the craziest ARE WRONG!!!! ALL WRONG!!!! I'M NOT CAZRY ANYMORE!!!! HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

ok, i'm bored, tired and should probably go to sleep soon before i start scaring atrociteis again.

especially since i honestly meant to type crazy.

There is one rather famous pair here who once had a flame war with each other. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

I must confess I have a sock too, although I did it as a gag and it (the sock) has about 10 Posts total.

That would explain why Atrocities is always fawning over Adamant Mod http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

It can't be! Do you imagine the amount of time this person would have needed to do that many Posts, a few mods and quite a few shipsets? Or it means the entity known as Fyron+Atrocities has found the way to have more than 24 hours in a day. Perhaps an inquiry on the subject is necessary? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

A second personality with a hidden identity is called a Sock Puppet and is a fairly common tactic of trolling or desperation on more argumentative Boards.

When it is done right, it can be hard to pick out sock puppets, but there are signs. For example, despite the fact that my sock and I never posted in the same thread, and consistently misspelled different words I was once called out because my sock and I were the only ones on a board to use nested parentheses (like this (but with this part)).

There are a few socks on this board, but since we are such a civil group they do not seem to be part of any problems. Their identity is left as an exercise for the reader.
