Shirlanians: User-login mapping?

[Ari Rahikkala]

I was just wondering... Gryphon the Pure said in the Landsraad that ARIadnEL000 and SimplyRhedd have the same IP... which, if nothing else, explains why Shyriath wasn't vexed by you (yes, ARIadnEL000, I'm talking to you) doing most of the diplomacy of Shirlan even though you had apparently never posted on Shirlan's ezboard before. Now, we don't mind if a single person has several logins. Heck, our MiniNat's census is specifically written for the general case of people using several different login names. However, referring to a single person several times with different names in a discussion feels pretty stupid, so I'd like to know if any Shirlanian logins that have been used in Shireroth are double, or if there's more than a single person behind some login. You don't have to give any personal information or anything. Just please make the life of all of us a little simpler. Note that this will also help to make sure that other nations don't think that we use paples. According to our agreement, you don't really have to care about using multiple logins inside of Straylight (since, again, this is *your* forum, too)... but outside, you're dealing with Shirerithian and intermicronational affairs, and you do not want to forget that you were logged in on a different account than you were using yesterday. But heck, I'm assuming that you do have double logins without even having heard your side of the story...

Oh itÂ’s really simple. When Shirlan was first introduced to me it was as a concept, which then inspired the other logins. Thusly, these logins do not refer to any one specific person, but a conceptual group of persons or just that, a concept, a collective thought. So, if IÂ’ve confused anyone, then I apologize for not making that clear earlier. ItÂ’s the thing of an idea being born from another and another and how these parts interrelate and stuff like that. ItÂ’s like some other logins IÂ’ve noticed around and about some boards where it is obviously not just ONE person, but a collective or concept, i.e. such as Draco The Tainted (a dragon), War Void (another dragon) and Shyriath, for that matter (a dragon)Â…etc. Erik, in fact, has many as well. So, I guess I fall into that category. Perhaps I should combine all these, scale them back perhaps and call myself by another login that symbolizes or represents a dragon. *shrugs* So then, that IÂ’m clear, is that when posting in Shirlan itÂ’s by a, for arguments sake, a new login which I will invent, and in Straylight I can post by several different logins (which right now are ARIadnEL000, SimplyRhedd and THEJustBlue). *smiles*OH and, Shirlan is MUCH too big a territory on the MCS map for me to handle, after much contemplation and thought. So it really should be reduced or scaled back to something much smaller, I would be better able to handle. I neither have the time nor resources to take it over as it is now. I can, however, help out with ideas and concepts by adding two cents here and there as I can function within the Straylight forum.
