Yes... Sir_Him = PoHa!84. Yes. I did know about IP addresses. Yes, I knew I would be found out. I didn't mean any harm. Just a practical joke. If your going to ban me, I understand. My apologies to all who I wasted their time. I just wanted to find out how long it would take to be found out. Sorry. Don't hate me. Forever, at least.

I am that good.

Practical joke????

Theres alot of people serious about helping people, like me, and these things are just a waste of time and energy.

A... whatever I'm not mad. I don't even know you.

What exactly was the joke?

I don't hate you, I've strongly considered doing it myself on a few forums (never DB) just to see how long it'd take me to get found out. Never actually did... one could say I was just as much of a troublemaker as you, but with less courage .

But I'm not gonna clap you on the back and say it's okay either .

No. It really wasn't ok. I'm surprised the moderators didn't reveal who I really was sooner. It made me wonder...

Mouse: I set up a fake user account and started posting things as a total newb. I even went so far as to get another e-mail address, a new password, and everything. I then typed horribly bad and asked people to teach me Dark Basic really fast (I was going for the spoiled brat affect...) I even posted on someone else's forum. (Even more apologies to... er... I forgot who it was now...). You can find my post in the newcomer's corner, under the psuedo-name "Sir_Him".

Well, as long as you're still helping with EOD I'm fine with it.

Heck I'd do the same thing myself if I wasn't so lazy.

Yeah, I know, I only have one game. Yeah, I know it sucks. But I made it! Me!

@HZence: Really? You? Too lazy to do something like that? Oh come on now! You're the one that first e-mailed the rest of the team with your info. I don't think you'd be to lazy for something like that.

@Raven: The point? Well... that's hard to say. I don't really know if there was a point. The idea just popped into my head, so I had to try it. I guess just to see how long before I was discovered.

Yawn....

I'm surprised at how much spare time some people have here, and how much spare time some people assume other users have.

I'm glad I did'nt see any Sir_Him posts, I might have been stupid enough to try and help. I reckon you should send an appology email to every user that tried to help 'Him'.
