I don't have any aliases. Remember, I was one of the dudes who rabidly opposed multiple accounts to begin with. I told the devs to delete Khral. I'm never going to use that account again. The only reason I'm not on now is because my new PowerBook is still shipping.

Rest assured, there are no secret conspiracies stirring between absent "aliases". Chances are most of us are simply busy with life or are held back by some other strange phenomenon. Or people are just tired of all the damned rocket rammers flying around and are waiting for a little change.

I'm Professor Penguin. Sniff, I'm not on your list? =D I play once every couple of months to check out the new updates and stuff, but I've been really busy and all that jazz. No aliases for me. I check the forums every few weeks, but I've been lazy about that too.

I'm just Phoenix. Although I do enjoy logging on a n00bish character every now and then to stir up a little trouble.

Toshiro (inadvertently) brings up a good point... What is your *EXACT* definition of the word VET in relation to Vendetta SirCamps? Is it game time, a specific game revison, an original tester, number of kills, number of credits? Just curious. I've been playing for a while now (Juneish?) but wouldn't really classify myself as a vet.

And for the record... I'm not telling. :-p pvffffttttt!!!!

Lol Pavan. Cmd. Arelius was a lesson in role-playing, and a much-enjoyed one. :)

Paedric: A mix of experience and longevity. I guess you could distinguish between veterans and heros, if you wanted to.

Not stealing it... he might want it back sometime too, you never know.

A lesson to who? I didn't believe for a second that you were a newb. You fought too well and I didn't buy your claim that your skills came from Descent. Then there was the fact that you knew exactly what a capping fleet looked like, etc.

But I did the exact same thing at one point. I made a fake char named Avatar2099 and pretended to be a total n00b just to see how long it took to become established in the game. Only I played it out realistically. I never entered a hidden sector until someone showed me. I never mentioned a hidden sector until someone mentioned it. I never even used the /msg command until someone told me. I died on purpose and made classic newbie mistakes like not barrel rolling or not strafing away from sunflares (which I sometimes do as Magus too, but lets not get into that.) Now THAT was a lesson in role-playing. It was a pain in the neck at times, but I learned quite a bit about what the game is like for newbies with the new stuff added in.

I suppose the point of it was, not all multiple accounts are bad. They can be used as a learning/testing tool.

There are two types of newbies, one type reads the manual and knows about /msg strafing turboing and capture the flag.
