A question on accounts

[User]

Hey! As a question and maybe even a discussion. How many accounts can we have?

I'm pretty sure it's no more than three. Though, I do remember before GuildFall, someone mentioned that we could have up to five.

As many as you can come up with. Just don't tell anybody and they won't know.

Probably no limit set in stone, although the mods are likely to frown on making accounts just to make accounts, accounts to bump votes, etc.

Unless it's something the mods can find to be abusing the system or you make too many for no good reason you should be alright. Depends on the situation I would think.

Don't take my writings as fact, just saying what I figure is the case :)

So the question is why would you want separate accounts?

Most people really only need one account. The only time that you would need a second is if you had a specific reason, like a mod having a writers account that isn't harassed by members.

To be truthful it is a frustration as another member, ie myself and others, because you can never tell who is who, who's a reliable role player, who's just making a troll accounts, and if the user has gone offline is it because that person forgot the login or left the site. If you can't be committed to one account, then think about how that reflects on your commitment to an RP.

Again, I acknowledge special reasons, but most people won't have a real reason for multiple account names.

I have a VERY bad rep. If I have another acc then no one will judge me.

This is my third account. Although it is relatively new, I've been a part of the guild before Guild Fall.

When I make a new account, it's because I felt like I outgrew the others--as a result, they're inactive. Maybe it's because I took a long hiatus from the Guild and came back differently, maybe it's because all of my friends associated with that account are no longer here and I wanted a new fresh start. Heck, one of the reasons why I got a new account was because I didn't want to use my real name when 13 year old me thought it was a brilliant idea when I couldn't think of a cool username.

This doesn't speak of my commitment to anything, whether it be roleplays, accounts or anything else. I'm a committed roleplayer, and committed to anything else I do. I've had each of thesr accounts for years at a time.

Of course it's annoying when people make accounts just for the hell of it and to troll people, and in no way do I support them. I just wanted to lay my reasons out for having multiple accounts. They're not particularly special in any way, I just outgrew my old accounts.

@Undine

I would classify that as a suitable reason. My own username is the second or third choice for my identity and it took a while for me go be happy with a long standing name that I can associate myself with. In your case I can understand and I respect your decision to change as a result of growing up. Wanna know what my first account name was...

Never used it here, but that was my child self and my obsession with Pokemon at the time. So to change over to my next username 'Nutter' was a bit more suitable, however that is taken a lot on sites so I came up with my current one as a twist on the name and my enjoyment for mechanical things.

I was more aiming for those that run 3 accounts as one and I've seen the excuse of, "this is the account where I can be an idiot and cause mischief, so if this account is banned then it doesn't matter cause my other account is my role playing account"

Another reason for multiple accounts is to join rps you might not want to join on your "main".

Personally I have thought about making a alt of my own, but I've grown attached to this one.

Many of my friends have an alt because you can join an rp without fear of someone else judging you based on past experience, or on the other hand, friends judging you on the rps you join.

There's nothing wrong with alt accounts, but having 2 is pretty tedious if you're using both. I slightly condone 3, but after that I doubt you're making accounts for a good reason, with the exception if you're ditching your old accounts of course. But if you're still gonna use your main, I would recommend just one alt.

@User

You have a very bad rep for good reasons. What matters is whether your behaviour will persist even if you have a new account.
