> So, what are people disgusted at then? That they think they know who Minalcar was played by? That rumors are so easy to believe? That an immortal ran around saying, "I'm Minalcar!"?
I'm not sure the "I'm Minalcar" exclamations were intentional, but they were there. And a lot of people knew.
I liked Minalcar, and I didn't want to point this out to him while he was around, since I didn't WANT him to feel obligated to delete:
If you log onto IRC, people can see your IP. If you have a distinctive IP (i.e. not *.ipt.aol.com or some such), then don't think that just because you connect to IRC using different nicknames, people don't know that they're the same person.
If you're going to use IRC, pick one nickname, preferably not that of a current character, and stick to it. Assuming you're trying to conceal your identity, that is.
