How important is your Apolyton identity to you? - Page 3

Dis · December 14, 2003, 04:03

Sometimes I think about changing my screen name. But I've had this one so long, I have created a name for myself. Although I have sullied that name with a lot of stupid posts and threads

This particular screen name originally was called Black Bart. But then I changed it to Dissident Aggressor, then shortened it to Dissident. It has been that way a long time.

I'm a poster who many people tend not to notice. This is both good and bad in ways. If I changed my screen name, nobody would know who I am. This would be a way to clear my name of all the stupidity I have done over the years, but it wouldn't take long to sully my new name

. And I admit, on some other posters who change their names, I have a hard time keeping track of who's who.

I am also wondering why my posts always end threads, maybe my resonses are so good that no further constructive reply can be made.

Hmmm, just making sure your post won't the last one in this thread.

My Poly identity is a part of my identity.

Thanks Dissident, alva (no need to reply to this one)

alva · December 14, 2003, 08:57

I just tried to have some fun with Diss' post.

Maquiladora · December 14, 2003, 09:16

I know all the OT'ers come here to top up their post counts, but at least he said something constructive with it.

Maquiladora · December 14, 2003, 18:08

See, i killed it again

Dis · December 14, 2003, 18:11

yep, I was thinking the same thing

. I really couldn't come up with anything to say after your previous post. In fact I still can't come up with anything to say. But I'll keep writing words to fill up a decent amount of space to make it appear this is a meaningful post. As we all know, meaningful posts are the backbone of Apolyton. Anything less so would degrade the great name of Apolyton and turn us into a lesser Civilization site. And we all know Apolyton is the greatest civilization site of all.

I sometimes vaguely think about changing my sname, but I can't do it. I'm too attached. It is part of me.

I wish you'd change it to Skywalker. Its a personal hate of mine to see either names without capital letters, or names that contain numbers.

"Skywalker" just feels wrong though

Skanky Burns · December 15, 2003, 00:03

skyWalker?

5kywalker?

Kuciwalker · December 15, 2003, 00:20

now you guys are just going for the +1's

Shogun Gunner · December 15, 2003, 00:34

just like you did, by pointing it out.

I might remeber wrong, but didn't you appear in the OT forum at Paradox, in the thread with pictures and info?

Nope! If you refer to an Apolyton forum, I know there was (is?) a poster with a handle similar to mine (I think the handle is Carolus_Rex or something like that)... Maybe he/she did it...

But there is only one real Carolus Rex at Apolyton... And that's me!

And since Apolyton is the only Internet community I'm active in (in case you refer to another site), the answer is no.

Oh!

At the forums of Paradox Entertainment (the ones with EU1/2, HoI etc.) there is a Carolus Rex that has a position something along the lines of Ming(althought he is a bit more......spammy). I thought he was the same person as you?

Carolus Rex · December 15, 2003, 09:53

Nope!

But you're not the first one who confuses us... I sure hope he's not a maniac!

You mean he's a moderator?

Carolus Rex · December 15, 2003, 10:01

Double post.

So that any pcr:s he/she provokes isn't applied to me...

I. Your Apolyton alter ego and your real life

Is it important to you to be noticed at the forums? That someone replies to your posts, read your threads? In short, to be "somebody"?

No.

Quote:

If you feel neglected at Apolyton, does this influence your real life? For example, if you feel attacked by another poster, does this make you sad in real life or you don't care? Similarly, if you feel that someone (who you've never met!) likes you, does it make you feel good IRL?

Sometimes I'm pissed and this surely reflects on my RL environment. But this hardly lasts long.

Quote:

II. Apolyton for Apolyton's sake

Is your Apolyton alias something you treasure? Do you want to be respected by other Apolytoners or are you just out to wreak havoc in the fora?

Do your posts reflect a desire to be liked or do you want to drive people nuts? In short, do you have a purpose with your Apolyton identity, are you creating a "brand name"?

Neither of it. I'm here to play games. If I cease to play the games this site covers, I will go somewhere else.

Quote:

III. Your Apolyton identity and yourself

Does it reflect who you really are or are you just living out dark sides of your personality that you'd never show in real life? For example, extremely timid and nice boy named Sean uses MalevolantLight to get those scary EyesofNight...

It pretty much reflects who I am.

Carolus

Yes, he's a moderator.

So I guess it's little chance that he gets any PCR's.

He is more post rich than you btw; more than 10.000 posts since he registered Christmas Eve 2000(why on Earth would anyone registrer at that date, yet alone have time to be on the net?

)
