there are a few soulcasters i've seen use alternate accounts (or alts, as i call them) in the past. they do it for various reasons and i can understand some of them.

so i was curious: have you encountered accounts that you believe are alts for another soulcaster?

please do not list what alt/account you suspect.

    I was once pickersplock2 for a few days in November, when I was having trouble with my account, that's pretty obvious though.  That didn't work either, but the problem was fixed.  So that's my confession. 
  • the_infernal_optimist said on Jul 12, 2007....
    Yes, I have quite a few suspicions along these lines.

    I'm come across a few that I had a feeling about but none were confirmed and I don't have the brain power to give it much thought.  My only alias is NotSoSingleChick25.

    no, I guess I am naive. It never even occurred to me either.
  • MsBradford07 said on Jul 12, 2007....
    Yes, I have.
  • sweet_cookie01 said on Jul 12, 2007....
    yup!!!!
  • moonriver said on Jul 12, 2007....
    yes.

    some are self-admitted, widely announced by the blogger himself/herself to try to solve a technical issue (like what you did, destiny) or to escape an earlier problematic username.

    some are very carefully insulated from each other, and probably used for a highly  specific (and hopefully good) reason. these are difficult to detect, even if soulcast tracks IP addresses.

    others are set up and used in a slapdash manner. if others are observant enough,  and if the alt user is verbose enough, sooner or later s/he gets careless (usually in the heat of counter-comments), and the obvious tracks and other clues will give away the blogger behind the alt.


  • JadeLondon said on Jul 12, 2007....
    Yes, I've encountered them. And yes, I created one. Didn't put it to much use, and probably won't in the future.

  • LMari said on Jul 13, 2007....

    Lets just say - im techically challenged! i dont even know how to change my blog name, i tried it before bcos i didnt really like my blogname at first, then tried making a new account to create a better name, failed miserably at that too...for some reason my pc will only allow one account? 

    i dont suggest anyone tell me how to do it- i might be tempted to argue with myself and get people to defend me! teee heeee....                                 

     

     

  • Daniel68 said on Jul 13, 2007....
    I use my real first name, have no other account. I only have a few friends on SC, and therefore no - the whole multiple persona thing holds no interest.

    sometimes this whole thing creeps me out.

    I have no energy to create an alternate persona as I am

    exhausted just telling you all my "real"-life persona!!!!
