OK, so I'm sure you've all be curious about what this announcement is, so I won't keep you waiting any longer. Last night I received a PM from the GM of another game on the Guild with...let's just say some disturbing news about a mutual player. This player, Raptorman, was confronted by this GM with evidence that he has been playing with multiple alt accounts. The GM in question went to one of the Guild Mods, Sherlock, and had asked him to check the IPs of Raptorman against two other players.
The 3 IPs came back as a match. Raptorman was also playing under the alternate accounts of Marra Mistborn and Paper Angel. When Raptorman was confronted with this, he fully admitted to it.
I was pretty shocked, as I'm sure you can imagine. But then I remembered a conversation that I had with another one of our players that struck me odd at one point, and made me question whether this player had been an alt account. At the time I said "nah, who does that?" and shrugged it off. But I couldn't shake this hunch, so in the wee hours of the morning, I sent Sherlock a message and asked him to compare Raptorman's IP with this other players.
Earlier this afternoon, Sherlock responded and confirmed that yes, Raptorman and The Fair Lady, aka Emy, are also one in the same.
I had every intention of booting Raptorman from the game tonight, however, The Guild beat me to it by banning Raptorman from the site.
So long story short, Raptorman, Paper Angel, Marra Mistborn, and The Fair Lady were all the same player. They are all out of the game and their characters will NOT just go away, but they will be written out of the game, in continuity.
I'm sorry that this happened, and I feel that I should have seen this way back when, however, I do feel better knowing that I'm not the only GM that was fooled by this egregious violation of the rules. But hell, we'll do what we have always done, we'll pick up the pieces and this game will be better for it. Any ongoing arcs (such as the Nightmare Arc) will be be finished by us, we're not going to have a bunch of unresolved storyarcs screwing everything up.
So anyone who had plans with any of "these players," I am sorry that those plans won't be seeing the light of day. But we'll move on.
