I know it isn't funny.

But look, as soon as I raise my doubts about the veracity of the login, the login disappears. If he were to post here and say "Look, I am the REAL Brian Reynolds, live with it" then I'd be inclined to believe him. But he doesn't.

"As soon as"?!?
Brian posted once with his new login, on May 8. You started this thread on June 1

I'm sure he has better things to do than to prove the "singleness" of his login to you...

Anyway, that's the last post I've made on this issue...

Exactly. It was that first post that made me suspicious.

Well, if he doesn't worry about credibility, why should we?

-It is interesting to note the connection between Reynolds and Morris. Apparently, they still keep in contact. What's a Firaxis team member like Mr. Morris doing on this part of the forum? It seems that he's some sort of Quality Assurance Manager. That makes his precence here doubly strange... Surely he should be in some sort of bug report forum? Which reminds me: why does Firaxis not have their own forum, nor BHG?

-What is alpha.owo? "www.owo.com" is the web page of the now sadly defunct Origin developer. As far as I was aware, however, they had nothing to do with the development of Alpha Centauri. I didn't have Web Access when Alpha Centauri came out, but wasn't the official site "Alphacentauri.com"?

Jeff mainly posts in the SMAC and the CIv3 General forums, as he is related to the two games. As for what he is doing on this forum, wouldnt you be interested to check it out if you were in his place?

about forums, an official forum when it is certain that the company people dont have much to say on that(because it is too early in development or a long time after the release) has been proven not to be a good idea.

alpha.owo.com was a server Firaxis was using to host their SMAC forums

Actually, my bet is that there really is no one else here at Apolyton except Mark, and he makes all these posts himself, just for fun. Even this one.

That's what I'd do if I had my own internet forum.

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

I, for one, am not MarkG's double login. I suspect that Jeff Morris isn't, but I am deeply suspicious about the Brian Reynolds one.

If Bighugegames had their own forum, I could ask Brian there if he was the same one that posted (once) here.

Thankyou for asking. I assume that you require me to answer this question and you were not having a rhetorical dig at me.

Have I mentioned the fact that I am suspicious that this is a false Brian Reynolds enough times?

Probably, yes, more than enough. I was hoping, though, that the REAL Brian Reynolds would come forward and disprove some of these wild and wacky theories.

Sadly, no, he hasn't. I think this login has disappeared the same way a lot of double logins go when they get challenged. I remain convinced that it is false.

I find it hard to believe that I am the only person who is in the least suspicious on this issue!!!!!!!

Jesus, why don't you go over to ww.bighugegames.com

Go to the news section, you'll find a screenshot of Apolyton, and read the small text next to it.

If that still isn't enough proof, I worry about you and all the electrical things in your house.

Loki,

Thanks. I have checked it out. However, it doesn't really answer my question. There is no proof that the character posting here as Brian Reynolds is THE Brian Reynolds from Big Huge Games. Anyone, could have read that and created the login - I am sure it's a hoax.

I think I know what the imposter did.

Registered as Brian Reynolds here on his own ISP. Posted once. Then changed the e-mail address to the bighugegames.com one. That's what now shows in the profile.

That's why he has never posted again as the imposter doesn't have the password and the REAL Brian deleted the message as junk mail or something.

JEtW: You bring up an important point that all posters would do well to reread and ponder!!! If BR puts the three letters "BHG" beside his name, that certainly validates his identity...

Just like you putting "forum icon" under your rank makes it so...

"why does Firaxis not have their own forum, nor BHG"

Ken: there's a long history about forums, Firaxis, and alpha.owo.com, not all of which is interesting, positive, or wholesome enough for family consumption.

BHG is doing exactly the right thing by making themselves somewhat available on a forum, encouraging discussion, but not being responsible for it or officially involved...

Btw, you are the first person from S. Africa that I've encountered on these forums. Welcome!

Another wonderful point! How do we know if it's the real Brian Reynolds imposter, rather than the fake Brian Reynolds imposter? I suggest that you post another 50 messages on these forums in order to find out for sure, because someone around here must know something!

Look,

I have figured out how it was done. We know now that the imposter can't get the password now and that is why "Brian Reynolds" doesn't post here any more. One post and that was it.

Aren't you curious as to who and why?

JEtW: wow, truly illuminating! Through many hours of watching Fight Club, I can see why it is important to root out this nefariousness! I mean, is the real BR imposter insured? Does he owe anything on his car or home? Clearly, our very existence as an advanced society is threatened!

I just find it a bit odd that this site has a strong ant-double login policy yet chooses not to enforce it in this case.

I see your point, there are grounds for thinking that there is some sort of conspiracy.

I am glad that I am no longer alone in this and some of you are also suspicious.

JEtW: I am a friend of BR's friend, and I talk to her all the time. She talks to BR quite often to and she told me about him making this company and asures me that it realy is him.

Anyway, how do we know that it's not him. There is no proof that it is not him. It goes like this: if he provides proof that it realy is him, he is controdicting himself for proof denies faith, and without faith he is nothing. Yet, if he provides proof that it realy is him, then we know it realy is him.

So either way, we all know it realy is BR. For those of you who don't believe it realy is BR, please understand that we all fell very sorry for you and hope you get help.

zichlen, I'm sorry you got upset over this. I wanted to see how long this would go on...
Instead, I should have have given actual proof that the login is real and close this stupid thread if JEtW continued on his idiocy


JEtW, the admins get an e-mail from the forum scripts when there is a new registration. As the password is sent to the e-mail given during registration, if a login makes a post, it means that the e-mail is valid. In this case, the BR login was registered with the actual e-mail of BR at the BHG site. And this is the actual e-mail address as I have goten e-mail from Brian from that address(and I know how to recognize a fake mail). Your "register with another e-mail, post, and change e-mail" theory simply didnt happen.

I hope this ends here

I am sorry but this is starting to stink to me.

Zichlen, if you are a genuine login then I hope you will excuse me. However, I have seen enough jokers play this game to be more than a little suspicious.

You have posted on this site 5 times - 2 of which, here, to suggest that I am a conspiracy theorist or someone who wishes ill of friends of your friends.

I wish ill for nobody, but I am unconvinced by occasional posters. I am less convinced still by new login defendees.

I take MarkG's word that he has tracked down the fake Brian and hope that he will be suitably IP banned from this site, although I understand he won't wish to admit to have been duped.
