Dl
What does DL stand for? As in, "DL Dance?" Or is it privileged information for experienced polypeople only? Or is it a bit of common forum slang that I was too dense to pick up on? Sorry if the abbreviation has been mentioned in some FAQ; I couldn't find it if it has.

DL=Double Login AFAIK 
If you are a DL, you are an extra login for someone already member, which isn't allowed.

You can think about double logins, but do not create them. I was banned, when Ming thought, that Piratep is my DL

Post a DL, then Ming will see what one of your DLs look like and can tell that the other one isn't yours.

Heh. Yes, I noticed something to that effect. He does appear to be a very assertive mod(which is much better than no mod at all; don't think I'm criticizing), and fairly buttkiss-resistant too.
And yes, I know I'm a noob. It happens to the best of us, I'm afraid.

Just in case you are wondering, the DL dance was created by Stefu.

So, basically, if you don't know what DL stands for, you are a n00b. And if you do know what DL stands for you are a DL yourself? (As many have mentioned before.) Nice alternatives there.

You are correct sir!
There is no alternative, except to stay away from OT, until you have some time in.
ACK!

Or wait until a whole heap of people who joined at the same time as you get disinterested in the on-topic forums at the same time and decide to start posting in the OT.

Neither have I. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I stayed out of the OT till I became a Prince?

The first time I diped into OT, nobody called me a DL. I then stayed out until I was a prince, and nobody called me a DL either, sicne i ugess people don;t create DL's and stick to them long enough to become princes.

You don't automatically get the "DL" label if you are a newbie, unless you start a "Hi, I am new!" thread.

As pre-emptive strikes are concidered as l33t now, I suggest a pre-emptive strike here too.

If anything is considered l33t, it should be destroyed. l33t is annoying. l33t serves no function except to complicate communication and jar the eyeballs. Remember, "thou shalt not l33t."
Just wanted to make perfectly clear that I took a strong stance on the issue.
