I have a number of sign ons on various facilities I use. Usually I keep them all registered because people often pretend to be me. What can I say, I am a popular guy. On Yahoo I think I was the most cloned personality. My favorite being Heilandyr. My favorite for Initiate was Inish.t Fill in the blanks.
The names are personally important to me because they represent different incarnations that I have had in my journey. In particular they were stabs at hunting for my true name. Or rather my true name hunting for me. We finally found each other in Aorthoir Anbroc.
As to using them, whenever I do use them there will be no question that they are me. I am not doing it to be sneaking or Hide who I am. Which was the claim in chat earlier. As to trolling...I have decided I like that term..
Merriam websters defines trolling as:
2 : to fish by trailing a lure or baited hook from a moving boat
So as I think about it...most of us here are trolling. We are casting out a line and seeing who bites. Sometimes we want to have a serious conversation. Sometimes we want something a bit lighter. Sometimes it is something of importance. Sometimes it is something to make us laugh. We cast the lines out, and we bite. We are the fishers and the fishes.
But again my point here is that it is preposterous to assume, and likewise to state, that I am using this nick to Hide who I am, because I am afraid someone might recognize me...especially since that was the game, to get to the point where I was recognized.
Not to mention it is more phun with pholks knowing who I am.
And I dont mind bein thought of as Hygh by yall. But an equally important group in my life will always think of me as Ini.
Hope that answers.
