Alternate Account Applications

Huh? Someone told me that I was meant to play as a new player?

Maybe it wasn’t you or maybe it wasn’t me being told to play as a new player?

I asked kyo if i could pretend to type like seth and be in his town meta

and he said sure, but he’s not a mod so :man_shrugging:

I think I asked a mod this once as well? can’t remember

I agree that obvious alts obviously being alts of a certain person is not ideal

but also

i don’t know man

Wait no it can’t have been you since I was talking to you about the fact my alts have different personalities lol.

I never told you to play as a new player.

You told me that the personality you chose for Winterfall was someone who was completely new to FM

As an alt you have a responsibility to not be obvious

I said frankie had more experience than I did

in NewD3 some alts were obviously one person, some weren’t, I treated the ones who I couldn’t figure out as just rando people of whatever skill level they present themselves as

I mean, people do have to go through an Alt Moderator and get approved

We can just start being a little more strict when it comes to not acting like yourself when on an alt account

If you can’t agree to that then
shrug

no alt fo u

being on an alt and being obvious is just

why

like what are you actually getting out of it? A new name and pfp?

I don’t think you have an obligation to be Maximally Not You but you should probably cover up obvious things

if you’re playing Exactly Like You and it’s Obviously You then what’s the point of alting in the first place

I’m not actually sure how much of people being Obviously Them is them not trying to cover it up and how much is them not being good at it

like presumably Derps is not intentionally using ‘their’ instead of ‘they’re’ but it’s still a very strong Derpstell

to be honest

I think that wolves should be able to speculate on alts

If it were up to me I would use MU standards with alts being allowed to be re-used and players allowed to speculate on alts in-thread

but

whatever

I think that the option to have an alt account is a good thing, and if you don’t want to use an alt account, you do not have to.

If you don’t want to sign up for games that allow alt accounts, you do not have to.

We aren’t forcing anyone into it.

But rather than saying “alts bad” why not try to give us some constructive criticism and let us know how we can improve the system? What rule changes do you want to see implemented?

Getting feedback and hearing complaints after implementation and testing is what propelled us to change rules 21 and 22.

I can’t guarantee that all suggestions will be implemented, but I can guarantee that they will be heard.

We unfortunately can’t allow this. We can only allow temporary alts, not secondary accounts.
This isn’t up to us.

this is valid

acting like a completely new person isnt easy im used to it personally

but for those people id say “try it once, if you can’t pull it off, don’t try again unless you think you can”

Ben Shapiro on the other hand

If alts become synonymous with Ben Shapiro, then the new alt rules must always accommodate with the presence of Ben Shapiro

This is the long con
And no liberal will survive this EPIC maneuver

Should be same for village and wolves.

I agree

definitely no
if people read you incorrectly for that its their fault

but the person with the alt is doing it on purpose for alt mind games
