[quote=@HeySeuss]It's also for a good way for someone to turn over a new leaf in here, if they haven't broken the rules but do have baggage for one reason or another (such as a reputation in off-topic that gets people feeling suspicious about their RP motivations -- [@mdk] mentioned this once.)

Not that I've [i]done[/i] it, but yeah, I know firsthand that off-topic antics can generate a certain amount of attitude that simply doesn't need to be carried into RP. But not just off-topic -- let's say you're in an RP with like eight other people and something comes up that you kind of wanna talk about in RP Discussion -- you can't do it without pissing off everyone in your thread. Now if you were able to make an [i]alt[/i] who was [i]also[/i] talking about a general issue that [i]just so happened[/i] to apply to your RP friends, well, nobody's pointing fingers and everyone's better off for it.

Or maybe everyone points fingers at everyone. *shrug* But yeah, I support alts.
