Originally by: Karlemgne Do you guys really think its a different "person" behind Jenny Spitfire during each of her incarnations? Or do you just lament each of these different personalities?
I only ask because I find it highly unlikely this character has changed hands four times.
First, as far as I know Jenny has always been a forum poster (*****?). I would find it extremely odd that this character has been sold on ebay four times, and that EACH of the four people who bought it, were also into posting/trolling/whoring on the eve-o forums.
Its also pretty difficult to not get caught "selling" characters these days. You want me to believe that this well known character has been sold on ebay (or another site) 2, 3, or 4 times while never managing to be caught (either by CCP or another eve-o player)?
This brings up another thing, actually. She's a hi-profile character known for multiple forum personalities and being an "ebayed" character. Do you really think that in all this time no one has petitioned her for being an ebayed character?
And if she's been petitioned, I'm sure CCP has investigated... yet still she's here.
The different personalities of Jenny Spitfire speak more to me of someone who likes to post on the eve-o forums behind an old and well known character, but has just gotten bored.

Well, I do know that the character has had a major personality change at least 3 times since I started EVE-O whoring. The first time made sense as a character resale- the first Jenny was a well known forum personality who was well known for contributing to the community (and was also pretty annoying, but meh). Then suddenly it switched to a blatant troll- it seems like someone bought a well known character specifically for trolling. Imagine if DS put his character up for sale, or Chribba; wouldn't you just expect to see someone nab it and use it for trolling?
After that, I'm not sure if there have been any resales. Theres certainly been several major style changes, but I don't know if thats just the first "buyer" mixing it up a bit. The natural assumption is just that the character hit the market again, and another wannabe troll decided to give it a try.
The most recent Jenny was quite convincingly genuine as someone who just wanted to buy a character and play with it, but didn't realise how famous the character was. Could have just been another troll-game, though.
I personaly know that the nest jenny is not the old jenny as the last jenny before this one was a friend of mine.

I don't know. feels like the old Jenny far too much. Do you know her in RL?
the 2006-2007 change was far too gradual imo to be an account sale, just seems more like something happened to her to make her change her perspective somewhat. Playing WoW might have had something to do with it

Again, I'm betting that this is the same person for every incarnation. I understand that Jenny used to be helpful, posting guides, etc...
But you said it yourself, there was something annoying about her from the very beginning. That this changed from random annoyance to outright trolling as the game got older isn't a big surprise. This type of person thrives off of notoriety... when the game is new, they get it by being helpful (sometimes in a backhanded way).
As the game gets older, being helpful isn't what it used to be. So in this case the person behind the character starts trolling, and actively implies that the character has changed hands. Now how stupid would that be? The character has never, to my knowledge, been sold on these forums. Who would illegally buy a character, and come a trolling on the forums letting everyone know "hey I ebayed this character."
And again, the odds that this character has been passed by sale to multiple people who post on the forums regularly? They are long at best.
So now the character has a reputation for being an "ebayed" character that everyone who forum *****s knows--young or old. What better way to continue the reputation than having pronounced personality "changes?" She changes styles and everyone eats it up.
And again, you said it yourself, this is a well known character. Nobody at CCP or here has ever seen her for sale on an auction site. I also promise you that with the notoriety that she has, she has been petitioned. CCP would have investigated and any funny stuff with multiple IP changes, or multiple region changes would have gotten the character banned.
What is more think about it. She's a very old, well known, high SP character. Most new players don't plop down $800 or so a character like Jenny would fetch before they KNEW they were sticking with the game.
I really doubt that she has been the same person behind each personality.

The original had more pride than this. The character must have changed hands in 2006. After that, who knows? Maybe the same person.

the new jenny seems to be channeling a Bavarian Nigel Molesworth, which is as good a reason to LOL as any.
