Explanation Needed.

Falkuon and Uvthenfuv, what do you have to say for yourself(s)?

same ip address

And, indeed, join date.

They both registered on the 11th of December.
So why’d Uv only join today?

How do you know that, teddy?

I was just on IRC at the time, that’s all

<Ienpw_III> go here: http://blognomic.com/update/index.php?S=88798c759f29def4689dbcc5585f8e56d8b86c3d&C=admin&M=members&P=member_search
<Ienpw_III> and do an IP search for 84.0

is how any admin could find out, I think

Or you could simply click on the two players’ member accounts from the admin tab.

oh please. why do things the easy way? :P

Guessed someone would ask that. : ) We’re siblings. Originally my thought chain was something like the following:
‘I’ll register and join the game! -> Eh, I’m too shy to make that post. -> Hey, I should join after all.’
Whereas after I told Falkuon the game rules, he joined fairly fast… (I hope he won’t just forget about it one of these days)
BTW 1: Why were spivak pronouns removed from the game?
BTW 2: Why are GNDT passwords (or at least mine) vulnerable to a dictionary attack? I looked around, and couldn’t find one, so is there a way to change it?

Sorry if my English is of varying quality, it’s a bad habit of mine to overcomplicate stuff I’m writing : /

1: someone thought they were un-fun so passed a proposal to get rid of them

2:  the GNDT passwords are vulnerable to more than that.  In practise, it hasn’t been a problem.  They only control the GNDT, which is a single app running on our server, so there’s not a lot of incentive to break them.

I find it incredibly amusing that Wak, of all admins, made this post.

Or should I say… “Qwaz”?

redtara: they/them

Darth: Yeah, I kept my mouth shut, but I was thinking the same.

Uv: If you really want to change it, just PM an admin, but keep in mind that any admin can see it.

Qwazukee:

Haha what’s funny is, now that I’m home on break, Wak and I may be using the same IP again….

Are you two related? I’ve always wondered why your names are so similar.

Ornithopter:

I just want to repeat this for emphasis:

Every admin can see all GNDT passwords, so don’t ask us to change yours to a password that’s important to you.

Qwazukee:

20-12-2009 16:49:57 UTC

Haha, yeah he’s my brother, which caused some confusion 6 Dynasties or so ago, even though I had already said he was my bro.

Wakukee:

20-12-2009 18:25:41 UTC

AActually, that is why I posted “please explain” as opposed to “please ban”. :P. Welcome, but expect at least a bit of suspicion, and no matter what you do, don’t post as the other.

Uvthenfuv:

20-12-2009 20:16:42 UTC

Siryessir,
and thank you. : )

After some investigating I am confident in stating that Uvthenfuv and Falkuon are indeed different people.
