It's part of feeling responsible I guess. You don't want your corporation or alliance get into heat of your silly posting skills because you felt like to ridicule somebody or just spam the forums.
Still, you like to point out your opinion, without risking the above.
Hence you use alts.

Wrong and you knows it.
Goons are unique. Most alliances will emorage if thier members post here with thier mains. Most alliances see the forums as free intell to CCP, the enemy.

It's quite a trip to be one of thousands and talk of experience like you yourself are the one amongst them with the divine right of opinion. One amongst the maelstroms and his is the best.

But in Eve, I am Esan Vartesa. In Eve, you can chase Esan down, gank him, wardec him, grief him, etc.
So while Esan protects the real person controlling him, all value and accomplishments in Eve are entirely invested in him. As such, there is risk in being a total ******.

Hi, I'm NPC-corp alt 274408. Yes, that is a pseudonym of a pseudonym.
In Eve, I'm not actually NPC-corp alt 274408. That character has never actually undocked, so you can't chase him down, gank him, wardec him, grief him, etc.
So while I protect some other character that in turn protects the real person controlling him, all investments and accomplishments in Eve are in no way invested in NPC-corp alt 274408. As such, there is no risk in being a total ******.
************************************************************
This is Eve. No risk without reward.
Well put.
And it would make sense if such replies as the one in the OP was not wrote to nearly anything, even an question about mechanics. Or some ideas.. Even tho those ideas are bad, and comes from ignorance about EVE mechanics etc. I found it better to try to enlighten the person about his "possibly" wrong approach rather than calling for "post with your main"
Altho i alone dont have any significant knowledge about anything EVE related. Or i know that there are many people with far superior knowledge of many things in game.
And I am actually Jaroslav Unwanted in game. |

To be fair from what I've seen goons are quite welcoming of new members, as long as you aren't an idiot. If you know any of them, can get a recommendation or are already a member of SA they're a great alliance to join.
Just because some idiots get scammed every now and then doesn't mean everyone will get scammed if they apply through the correct channels. And I can't emphasize this bit enough, not being a total idiot really helps.

This
Also they use those multiple alts (sockpuppet's) to help give credence to their statements basically by overpowering the discussion, flooding it with multiple comments from those alts all posting in agreement while also attacking the opponent thus giving the illusion that their statements are factual when it may or may not even be factual. Basically it's sorta like a yelling match with the intention to drown out the other player and control the discussion in some demented idea to appear superior, just another form of cyber-bully.
Markus Reese wrote:Is why I post as my main. When I say something in forums, people know where I am coming from, and also should people want to debate, I can say take it to me in game.
Unfortunately you don't even have to say 'Take it to me in game' because they'll probably be looking for you anyway. Especially if you had bruised their ego by proving they were talking out their ass. This is another reason why they use the forum alts, they won't have to worry about repercussions resulting from their actions. |

if you post with an NPC forum alt it means you're scared of consequences in a video game which makes you both stupid and a coward and thus your opinion is immediately discredited hth |

Perhaps it would be better to consider the content of the post, rather than whether or not it is composed and posted by an alt.

DeMichael Crimson wrote:Simi Kusoni wrote:People seem to be missing the primary purpose of NPC alts, it allows people to make an argument from authority despite not being an authority on any subject.
Example: NPC corp alt #20025 is arguing over null sec mechanics changes, he will inevitably claim to have been playing since 1984 and have over 9000 confirmed kills. Two sentences later he will demonstrate that he does not understand how bubbles work.
This is, sadly, not a rare occurrence. Calling for NPC corp alts to reveal their main in cases like these is not done to allow us the opportunity for in game reprisals, which quite simply are too much effort, it is done to get the idiots to shut the hell up and stop bad poasting. Granted that may happen once in a while but usually the sole purpose of wanting to know the main character is so they can exact some type of revenge, thus thinking they have won some great battle. After their revenge is completed, they'll usually post the killmail here in the forums in a vain attempt to cause humiliation. Those actions are intended to berate, demean and ultimately silence that player.
So, you're hiding, behind a computer, on the internet and you lack the testicular fortitude to defend your stance on a subject because someone may disagree with your opinion? You're already behind a fake self, on the internet. Of the hundreds of thousands of people on the internet, you're afraid that someone will take your bad posting and come after you, in a video game.
You don't see anything really wrong with this, like, in real life?

Yet, I've seen many "mains" posting dumb crap, claiming they have experience.
I knew a few super-capital pilots, for example, that would preach how you are "supposed" to play Eve, but were caught, several times, ratting in supers.
No comment on whether said pilots are still in or affiliated with your alliance. 
^^ Posts like this are also a good reason to use alts. LOL |

I'm an alt. Since I undock this toon, this is also a main.
Truly useless whining imho. Read the message and respond to it. If you're interested in political crap, contact alliance/corp diplomats.
And yes, there's a lot of pointless threads and posts in this forum. This could very well be one of them. I'll leave it up to the individual reader whether that applies to this post or this thread as well.

Posting here to confirm this is my alt for posting.
I think the main reason why people like myself post with an alt is so I can keep playing a game I enjoy without a whole alliance trying to make my life in space a living hell when I say something that makes sense on the forums that someone might not like.
Best example for this argument would be recent events.
Oh... and I just love the argument: Post with your main or nothing you say is important. <-- I always fall for that line and end up posting with my main..... NOT!

Hi, I'm Khergit, and I'm an anonymous alt ('AA').
You could look at it as meta-gaming. In an ideal MMO society, everything would be home-grown within the game and everybody would have an accountable persona. Like, to build a mighty corp, you'd have to be a viking chieftain building a following of house karls based only on their trust in you to provide rings and booty. But no, we have Goons, Dreddit, Pandemic, etc. blobbing from outside the game with ready-made hordes. Meta-gaming. And we have people able to spend real dollars on PLEX and GMT to instantly put 100s of millions of isk in their wallets. Not a perfectly fair and accountable system by any means. So if people want to meta-game and use an anonymous posting alt, it's as fair as anything else. Part of reality, part of the game. |
