So after getting yelled at for roleplaying as dado about, a week ago or so. Today they did sockpuppeting and gave the age old and bullet proof defense of "My sibling did it"

4:22 PM <BlueJones> That's how I interpret that at least
4:22 PM <•AbsentmindedNihilist> that's a different concept to modern takes on/current day activities of myths + fairytales
4:22 PM
<weryllium> paper faces on parade
4:22 PM <•AbsentmindedNihilist> they can certainly overlap

4:22 PM <CalibriBold> AbsentmindedNihilist: Do you think "a picture is worth a thousand words" might actually be an interesting justification?
4:22 PM <•AbsentmindedNihilist> CalibriBold: the thing is that that's just a saying
4:23 PM
<Bennings> Like I remember seeing a convo on reddit in which someone said basically the only good urban fantasy they'd ever watched was My Little Pony
4:23 PM <CalibriBold> But not to them.
4:23 PM What if it was literal to them?
4:23 PM
<Dr_Wize> I love getting on midday and not knowing whats being talked about lol
4:23 PM So how is everyone
4:24 PM <•AbsentmindedNihilist> CalibriBold: but why would it be literally
4:24 PM
<weryllium> pretty good
4:24 PM <•AbsentmindedNihilist> why specifically a thousand
4:24 PM
<lurkd> Farts
4:24 PM <•AbsentmindedNihilist> or why would it lead to more hunting you than a word would
4:25 PM <CalibriBold> AbsentmindedNihilist: Maybe because one picture conveys what would ordinarily take many words?
4:25 PM
<Bennings> Hey dank meme I made

4:25 PM <•AbsentmindedNihilist> CalibriBold: but that's not necessarily true
4:26 PM <dentix> well, one picture is worth a
4:26 PM how many words does wikidot count an image as again?
4:26 PM <•AbsentmindedNihilist> and how many words it would take to describe a picture differs from person to person
4:26 PM
<MalyceGraves> Bennings: MLP is urban fantasy?
4:26 PM
<Bennings> I unno that's what they said
4:26 PM <•AbsentmindedNihilist> of course, the doylist explantion for why you can't just use pictures is "2521 did it first and did it best"
4:26 PM
<Bennings> But it's a pretty damning statement of Urban Fantasy
4:27 PM <CalibriBold> Yeah.
4:27 PM Also, my goal is to literally use as few words as possible.

4:28 PM <•AbsentmindedNihilist> do you have a good explnation for why that would be?
4:28 PM <CalibriBold> AbsentmindedNihilist: Yeah, the point was to tell the "story" with that last part.
4:29 PM
<Dr_Wize> i have siblings who also use the same stuff i do
4:29 PM <•AbsentmindedNihilist> Dr_Wize: bullshit.

4:58 PM <•AbsentmindedNihilist> Dr_Wize: so, you've given us 2 stories so far. siblings, and RP server.
4:58 PM honestly, neither of these holds water to me.
4:59 PM
<•Corvus> I will interject with him already having expressly denied being involved
4:59 PM And will now butt out
4:59 PM
<Dr_Wize> i do have siblings who use this, and i was going to the rp server
4:59 PM i did lie about the siblings using the dado thing
4:59 PM but i had no malicouis intention

5:02 PM
<•Corvus> Funny. You've never once been there.
5:03 PM And that isn't how roleplay works there
5:03 PM <•AbsentmindedNihilist> it's also a dead server.
5:03 PM
<•Corvus> So do you want to keep digging this hole?
5:03 PM <•AbsentmindedNihilist> all we want to know is the truth.

5:06 PM <•AbsentmindedNihilist> ah, no worries.
5:06 PM
<Dr_Wize> i was going to start as dado there
5:06 PM and i didnt mean any malicouis intent i was going to the rp server.
5:06 PM srry for lying about the siblins thing
5:07 PM <•AbsentmindedNihilist> Dr_Wize: why would you make a new account for that?
5:07 PM you know sockpuppeting is against the rules
5:07 PM and origins is an official server - it operates under the same rules of conduct as any other official channel.
5:07 PM
<Dr_Wize> i dont know what sockpuppeting is
5:07 PM <•AbsentmindedNihilist> which means no sockpuppeting.

<Dr_Wize> and i made a new account because i like to get completely into the role of the character
5:09 PM
<•Corvus> Again, do you mind if I interject as both an Origins staffer and a longtime DM, Niles?

5:10 PM
<•Corvus> I've been on Origins staff for essentially as long as it has been a game. Probably four plus years now.
5:11 PM I can count on one hand the number of people who have joined as an established character sight unseen "fully in the role"

<•Corvus> Because first of all that's not how origins works which you'd know if you actually wanted to join
5:11 PM And second of all because that's not normal fucking human behavior
5:12 PM This is not a thing that happens, basically ever.
5:12 PM And once again I am done. For the moment at least.
5:12 PM <•AbsentmindedNihilist> Corvus: correct me if i'm wrong, but dado is also not really a character that fits with the setting or tone of origins, correct?
5:13 PM
<•Corvus> That is correct.
5:13 PM <•AbsentmindedNihilist> thank you.
5:13 PM all right.
5:14 PM
<•Corvus> While I can see a newbie not understanding that they would join the chat out of character to find out
5:14 PM <•AbsentmindedNihilist> i deem this story to be complete bullshit, based on the information provided above.
5:14 PM this means you have now blatantly lied to chatstaff multiple times.
