Yes, some of you already figured it out, so I figured the gig was up.
I retired old Zoid for a while because I was coming home to find so many private messages wanting to know everything from how to convert their AK to full auto to how to take the top cover off.
I wasn't able to surf the forums for all the private messages sometimes. (I used to belong to more than a dozen forums as Zoid Zodian, so it wasn't hard to accumulate private messages).
I also learned from my experiences with Gunsnet that it's best not to use the same identity on every forum, just in case one bans you for being associated with another (hand them another pacifier, Reverend).
Then, I started using Major PITA. I started getting some feedback that some people missed Zoid (the crazy ones anyway--LOL!), so I let him creep back into the "serious" threads like the tutorials. I saved Major PITA for the more "fun" threads. Sometimes, I'd also deliberately have PITA take a view opposing Zoid on the same thread. Sorry for the minor deception, but I thought it might get good discussions going. That's the main thing I'm here for.
Well, frankly, it gets damn confusing remembering which identity is logged on and which one started which thread.
So, ZOID I AM, AND ZOID I SHALL BE!
I may still let Major PITA crop up now and again to take an opposing view to Zoid, just to get some more interest into a discussion.
So thanks for your support for Zoid, everyone. I guess he won the race for which identity to use (man, now I'm REALLY schizophrenic)!
Well, technically, since I'm really an alien from Tau Ceti, I don't have a "birthday" per se, since we are grown in genetic pools and then trained to pilot spaceships to Earth.
As for living in the desert, too late!
:headspin:
Hold on! Major PITA wants to say something!
I'm...channelling him now. It's...very faint.
WAIT! I can JUST make it out:
"GUN SHOW GUN SHOW GUN SHOW GUN SHOW GUN SHOW GUN SHOW GUN SHOW GUN SHOW GUN SHOW GUN SHOW GUN SHOW GUN SHOW GUN SHOW GUN SHOW GUN SHOW GUN SHOW GUN SHOW GUN SHOW"
"GUN SHOW GUN SHOW GUN SHOW GUN SHOW GUN SHOW GUN SHOW GUN SHOW GUN SHOW GUN SHOW GUN SHOW GUN SHOW GUN SHOW GUN SHOW GUN SHOW GUN SHOW GUN SHOW GUN SHOW GUN SHOW"
That's the one. (That one is a LOT better now than it was for a few years. For years it had gone downhill, but some people got together and attracted some new vendors. I'd rate it just under the one in your city.)
(Don't mind us, folks, S. D. and I live in neighboring cities, so we've been to gun shows in each other's towns).
You know what I always say, "As long as I know what I'm talking about, that's the important thing."
But, you know, Strange Destiny, I'm not the ONLY naughty one. You had us convinced that you look like Angelina Jolie. Shame...Shame...
Hey Zoid, nice to see you are back. I guess one thing carried true through out both identies, neither were banned. Kinda says a lot about gunco. For one, I always enjoyed both identies' posts. Jack
Custer, you wouldn't believe it, but people have asked me that more than a couple of times. .
Multiple accounts aren't so bad as long as they are not used to troll. I have 2 test accounts here as well for testing regular user privileges and testing vendor privileges. Every once in a great while I post something under one of them, but never stuff that would be considered harmful.
I don't remember reading anything from Zoid, but I do enjoy PITA's post.....It's good to have an alter ego---I get in enough trouble being one person I won't go for 2.......lol I'm just Taz
I was always suspicious about this. Very similiar writing styles between the two. Of course I had a tip from a very wise man on this. And yes, he was one of the 6.
This is why the gig is up. I was "outed" on K-VAR's forum by someone who read a post by Major PITA and replied, addressing me as Zoid.
It was pretty hard to deny it after that.
But don't worry. Now that I'm not schizophrenic anymore, the Major's personality has been integrated into Zoid's. Now I can do less serious posts as Zoid Zodian instead of saving them for Major PITA.
I think I'm still going to use other identities on other boards, though. I'll use Zoid on this one, PITA on K-VAR, and I'll create other identities for other boards. By the way, in case anyone's interested: after being banned from Gunsnet and my IP address blocked from even displaying their screens, I was actually not only able to visit their forum a few weeks ago but also register as a new identity.
It looks like I'll be able to make my presence known over there all over again...
:naughty:
