That's a good a reason as any Farawen :mrgreen: Looking forward to your signing up a second ID :mrgreen:

OK - so I take it, unless someone really yells by next Wednesday or so :wink: we'll be going for unlimited IDs for RP purposes only with full disclosure (meaning a seperate thread where this info is stored in our brand new forum) :D

One note though: If and when you register alternative ID's, use your 'normal' email adress to do so - meaning, keep the same email addy for all your IDs here -- otherwise I (and/or the other admin) get confused and might not approve it :wink:

Can you all live with that?

Okies :D So I think we can wrap this up.

Consensus is to:

Allow multiple IDs for all, with full disclosure (in seperate thread) but with access only to the RP forum

An email has gone out just now to the Seekers crew. Please read and respond
Thanks :)

Due to the problem that the board won't let us register multiple accounts to the same email address (which I hope we can figure out), I've already registered my Rp alter-ego using my older TORC email address. However, I'm curious to see if, once an account is activated, whether or not we can switch email accounts...

Edit: Nevermind...can't do that either.

Just giving this thread a wee bump (maybe it could be made into a sticky?? :halo:)

'Consensus' was reached as follows

Shall we allow multiple ID's on Board 77?
Yes – for all (unlimited) 0% [ 0 ]
Yes – for all (limited to e.g. 3) 7% [ 1 ]
Yes – for all unlimited but with disclosure 21% [ 3 ]
Yes – for all limited but with disclosure 28% [ 4 ]
Yes - but only for RPers, limited, with disclosure 14% [ 2 ]
Yes - but only for RPers, unlimited, with disclosure 14% [ 2 ]
No - on principle 14% [ 2 ]

Total Votes : 14

As it stands today multiple IDs are allowed for RP purposes only and must be 'claimed' in the Alternate character registry in the writing forum There & Back again

Note: for each registered ID you'll need a seperate email addy. It's not possible here to register twice with the same email addy.

The Admin will approve the ID (after having checked the claims thread) and will give access to the RP forum only for that ID.

Will update this info also into the first post for easy reference

I dont use most of my TORC alter identities most of the time. But to be able to have some for RPing here would be nice. I agree that we need to be upfront with who is doing the writing of a character.

On TORC I attempted to use alternate ID's for RP but was so pathetic about remembering to log out/in/out/in that it was always a toss-up as to which post came out under which ID.

So...I just post as the one ID

Besides, I feel uneasy assuming another skin. I AM the writer; it is my creation. I want the dichotomy to be clear and bold between the creator and the creation - I immerse myself so much in the writing that sometimes the line becomes smudgy and that can cause inner chaos.

And I flatter myself that my writing speaks for itself.

Your writing speaks volumes Impenitent. I am still looking forward to writing with you :grouphug:

So, see you over in the RP forum then. :suspicious:

I'm kind of the opposite, Imp, in that I consider myself to be in mild RP at all times on the boards. Laureanna is basicly the "nice" girl. When I get in a fey mood, I switch IDs. When I feel paranoid, I switch IDs. If there is full disclosure, there is no point in me having multiple IDs, you will just have to get used to laureanna posting out of character. I do some light RP in the Bard's Guild festivals, the Ent Alliance, the Movies Forum, the Lucky Fortune Inn, and elsewhere, but have not joined an actual, viable, serious RP thread.

So in a fit of pique, I'm going to disclose all my names, some of which I think are terribly clever, but which don't have much use here. I think there's one more, but I can't remember exactly how to spell it. So I haven't used it.

laureanna
annaerual (RPs as anna (human) and ursula(beorning) and me when I'm feeling paranoid)
eaglechild (RPs as eaglechild (eagle) and almond bark (ent) and me when I need to make eagle or pub jokes)
posterchild (started as a multi-user name for the META movie project, but he escaped and started posting elsewhere)
an_alias (only for alias related jokes)
hobbituated (RPs as family of 5 hobbits)
janus|sanuj (RPs as twofaced maia, er, maiar)
eomermaid (RPs as drooling fan-mermaid)
torquemada (just thought of this one, when feeling a bit torqued)
*annatar* (used in MOME)
*TheOneRingChap* (used in MOME)
TomsDaBomb!!!111 (used in MOME, and to irritate Elwe)

There, that felt strange.

Well, I voted "no", although I think the way it's handled now is ok - but there was no option for it - or was there?

I thought the way it's now, people can have multiple IDs for RP, but not only are they made known, they can also only post in the RP forum with them, isn't that so?
I think that's a good solution, but didn't see which option said that!

I wouldn't like mulitple IDs to post normally on the boards, because I don't like not knowing who is who, or finding out by accident. I always think I'm one of the last people to find out, and that's annoying. I normally don't even suspect when a name is another ID of someone, so even having a list of alternate IDs wouldn't help much.

Even for RP I've never understood why writing as character X isn't enough, why people want the character's name to appear in front of the post as well, but as I said, having multiple IDs who can only see the RP forum is fine!

That's exactly right TH.
Multiple ID's are only given access to the RP forum here so they can only post there when logged in under that ID. Consensus on this was reached after debating. It works just fine I think :mrgreen:
