Should users be allowed one DL? (Time out:0 days after 01-07-2001, 03:44)
Why not?
No way!
Sure, but "tag" DLs as such
Who cares? Not me.

DLs and YOU Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

Maybe this is a good idea, maybe not, but I was thinking that it would be interesting if we were each allowed one (and only one) DL each. Maybe these DLs could even be "tagged" as such, so that everybody knows tht someone's having fun when they see a DL post. We could all have a hell of a time trying to guess who's who. The moderators would be sworn to secrecy.

Let's make it a game. Got spare money?

I think that DL's should be allowed--until somebody guesses who they really are!

The mods would know and referee. If you're caught, you're out.

And, come to think of it, that's not too different from the way things are now.

My point is that I'm deterred from creating a DL because of the knowledge that it might cause me to get banned and/or lose PCs. Some others are not put off by this, and I would at least like to have some of the fun of having a DL without any risk.

I don't think DL's should be allowed. They serve no purpose on the on-topic forums. On the Off-Topic Forum DL's of the same person can gang up on the same opponent(s) or wreak otherwise interesting threads.

Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

Chris: No no. Here's a short course on a language which probably only Squid is crazy enough to understand. Copied straight from him.

quote:
Due to font problems, the project of making a Hyperborean language with alternate letters is OFF. Therefore, the new alphabet is exactly the same as the English alphabet with the following exceptions:
-The letter ~ stands for sh; the letter + for th, and the letter - for ch
-A long vowel is represented as having a thingy over it. For example, long a is á. I don't care which of the little thingys it is as long as it's there.
-There's no c, q, or x, as all of these are already covered by other letter combinations

As for words, the grammar remains more or less the same. Every word has a root, at the end of which one adds a vowel qualifier to denote the part of speech. A word is either 5 letters long in the form cvcvc for functional words, or two letters long in the form cv for syntactical words. The qualifiers are:
-a means normal noun
-á means "one who is" noun. For example, run + á would be runner
-e means adjective
-é means adverb
-i means verb
-í means a passive verb.
-yí is a "to be" verb
-o is a preposition
-u is miscellaneous others

Words can also have postqualifiers, as follows:
-l means plural (noun or adjective or adverb)
-n means past singular (verb)
-t means past plural (verb)
-d means present singular (verb)(note that this is a change from before)
-s means present plural (verb)(note change)
-k means future singular (verb)
-z means future plural (verb)
-th means imperative (verb)
-r means comparison (adjective or adverb)
-m means superlative (adjective or adverb)

Post Qualifier Words:
-f means of

If a word needs more than one postqualifier, both are used with a u vowel between. The order goes tense, number, anything else.

A note on names: ALL name words have to be in the cvcvc format. Thus, a name like Scott wouldhave to be edited to list in the Hyperborean language. If you're translating your own name, you more or less have total leeway. If it's someone else's or a place name, one should try to stick as close to the original sound as possible. Personal names have no qualifiers; places are nouns.
Scott Siskind="Sakat Sakan"
Hyperborea="Híbora"

Finally, the words from language thread IV stay the same. As before, the + only indicates that you add on the qualifier, NOT that there's a th at the end of each word:

Two objections to DLs that I have seen cited are that they take the sting from banning (the offender simply continuing to post in a different personae) and a person may be more willing to badmouth other posters and to breach the site's rules hiding behind the additional anonymity afforded by the DL.

It seems to me that if advance notice were given to the mods (but not to anyone else) that a person intended to register a DL that might go a long way to meeting these points. A ban would subsequently take effect on all registered log ins.

I have no real idea as to why running multiple log ins is fun but self evidently there are posters who enjoy it and there are others who seem to like trying to detect them. An accomodation which allowed the innocent aspect of the thing might therefore be worth considering.

It might also save MtG some of the time he invests in this (assuming he doesn't get a kick out it).

Nah, never used the things myself, never saw the point. I do have a couple of AEs at ACOL which I have only ever used briefly. Just no appeal for me. And I certainly wouldn't use them for the dirty tactics of flooding someone else with opponents. It is unnecessary for me anyway
