from what we can see, you do not have an avatar, @Anaeia.
'twas a good thing to bring up, @71452K.
we'd like to think that having two accounts like the OP example can by many be interpreted as dishonest to the players. But we can also see a reason someone might do it, simply to make it look like their RP has gathered interest than it technically does. But that is more of a false cushion than a true benefit, as it gives false safety to the GM.

If the GM also favors his (or her) alternate account character in the story, then it is first and foremost poor GMing. If the players have to discover that the two accounts belong to the same individual, then that will feel like a betrayal when they do. That the GM lied to them, an act which could break the RP.

However, having multiple accounts that are labeled as such with unique purposes can work, like in the example by @Lady Amalthea. That's one way to do multi-accounting right. For most people its unnecessary, but still valid.
Gonna read through the clanbook before we start proper work on a sheet. We want to do this Malkavian right.

such a nice passage we found therein concerning Malkav:
"He chose a number for his new children. We don't know which it was. It was eight, or 12, or 20, or 36. It was one of those. And his own childer did not exceed that number, for they were chosen one at a time and all together.
I fear — and you fear, as well, for you must — I fear when the time comes that one of his childer is destroyed utterly. For numbers are sacred, and he may awake then to rectify the count."
we've always wanted to do a proper Malkavian.
RL should always come first.

We will look into the sort of Malkavian to craft. The generation decision should after all be fitted to the character, not the other way around. Its not fun to be overpowered compared to everyone else.
having recently dropped another RP (after a long time of the character not working right), this might be worth considering joining...

Maybe we can finally craft a proper Malkavian?

We've always wanted to slap a prince with a fish. (nah, not really thinking of making a fishmalk...)

There any restrictions on generations? (beyond not super-powerful)
It's also worth noting that if a DM desires liches to not look like that in his or her RP, then he or she is free to make it so. Books are not something you may never deviate from.

That race mentioned above, however, is ridiculously overpowered.
In Mahz's Dev Journal 7 yrs ago Forum: News
We've seen people use systems like the one desired above on other sites. It led to an over-bureaucratization of the forum in question. It wasn't worth the effort, and (other than for spambots) that forum had a far more lenient system for dealing with rule-violators. Numerous warnings before each temporary ban, then several such bans before a permanent one. Still people ended up banned. Many more than get banned here, and still they demanded more "for justice's sake".

The fact is, the only ones who tend to care about bans is the close friends of those banned and/or those who simply don't like any sorts of authorities.

The cost-benefit ratio is decidedly negative for this sort of concept. At least that is our opinion.

to make a hider optional on such would require more coding, but if such is written, then yes it would be possible.
It all depends on how much work Mahz wants to put into it and whether his code cooperates.

We see several options that some might desire to have for the zeroth posts:
  • Only on page 1
  • Visible on page 1, hidden on all others
  • Visible on all pages


And of course some would probably desire this to be something that can be adjusted on a per-tab basis.
