h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I suppose I shouldn't have replied to this to prove your point!! a bit like those birthday cards with how do you keep an idiot in suspense printed on the front. You open the card up and it says inside - turn to the front of the card....

What's with the change of researcher name?



Bassman

Hmmm.. did you not get Peta's invitation to her home?? She's has a disturbing article about Troll's linked there... Me read it... and got disturbed... visit Peta and see for yourself...

No I didn't, I can't hang out at all the places I'd like to on this machine - if you getmy meaning.



Bassman

...but she sent an invite to all ACE's... here's the link... http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/classic/F656?thread=176657 least me hopes thats the link... ~paws crossed~

Ha! got there in the end....

So which one are you?



Bassman

The Deceptive or "Classic" Troll. More sophisticated but often easily identified and exposed, the Classic Troll gratifies his ego by pretending to be someone or something he or she is not. Classics make up elaborate stories about themselves, sometimes weaving some amounts of truth into their lies. As a web of lies is difficult to build with consistency, however, Classics are often "outed" by other forumites. When this happens, Classic Trolls have a bag of tricks to which they turn:

Very close to home me thinks... ~Grin~

Me does not want to be outed...

I totally understand about being outed, not of course that I'd know anything about having an alter ego - or three knocking about. ~unconvincinggrin~

One of them is obvious, the second I cocked up and signed one of his posts as me, the third.... I'll 'fess up when I have to.



Bassman

so you have 3 different personalities on h2g2... hmmm... how many does me have?

No three others on top of this one! I think I had another before Rupert, but I couldn't remember what the logon was when the site was up and running again



Bassman

Oh wow... a man of many faces... how wonderful... ~grin~

I cocked up and signed one of my latest charecter's posts with Bassman , but I think I got away with it as most of the other researchers involved aren't people I run it to regularly, plus it's one of those where posts happen quite quickly.



Bassman

So which is the real Bassman?

I am Bassman

No... I am Bassman

I am Bassman and so is my wife.

Bassman is the real me.

The Minister of BLACK is an alter ego - dark, authoratative

It's his Ministry and he wants it the way he likes it

I've been getting a little hassle from Grey Desk, which I would just laugh off, but The Minister has taken it to heart and has a cunning plan to sort things out

Scrotum is a wrinkled old manservant at the Chap's Club. I don't post him very often, as he's supposed to be so old it takes him ages to do anything.

The last one, that I'm not 'fessing up to yet is mean and shouts a lot - or he did until it became apparent that people in general didn't get the joke.



Bassman

Aha... ~grin~... scrotum sounds very lovely... me must meet him... me would love to kiss your scrotum... ~evil grin~... the character that is... hmmm... hope that won't me moderated... cause its not rude honest guv...

Me expects there are lots of alter ego's on h2g2... me wonders if me speaks to the same person most of the time... just different names... maybe they are all Peta... ~grin~

* picks jaw up off floor *












Bassman

Well at least it wasn't moderated... ~Grinny grin~... and you did bring the subject up...

Hmmm... according to the h2g2vine... your other alter ego is non other than a famous boxer... is this true...

It might be <ish ~grin~>

I 'fessed up to it as well. I didn't think it was fair on poor Lighthousegirl not to.



Bassman

~grinny grin~.. The trouble nowadays is that so many people are looking out for a trouble... that they read to much into things at times... me is sure you... were... well... er...only having fun...

You know I'll have to have a go at that....
