Of Imposters and where to find me!
12 years ago
Okay, so its been brought to my attention once more, so I figured I'd make a note of it.
On Champions Online, Alairan-Fennec is not me. My handle on there and STO/Neverwinter is Alairan. Alairan-Fennec is some poor soul pretending to be me for some reason.
As I imagine this likely happens on a few things, I'll list my current stuff.
This is me on Steam. http://steamcommunity.com/id/alairan?l=english Remember, people can change their handle, but their base account name will always be the same!
I am currently also playing Defiance as Alairan Kaname. Alairan is my alts name. Anyone else is not me.
On Second Life I am Alairan.Scissor.
I go on a few other things now and then, but basically, unless its something I've mentioned on here, have some doubt. :)

Someone will pick someone they are not and pose as them all for the sake of giving the fantasy of interacting with them. "Got a crush on ZigZag? Have your friend pretend they're ZigZag and run a series of roleplay scenarios or chat-fsckings involving her. Who's gonna find out? And if they do, who'd care? It's a chat-hookup site and lotsa people would come if I were ZigZag! Yay!" This is how some of them get started and justify themselves as harmless.
It's just something people think to do, irrespective of the fact they're basically playing with someone's identity. Due to past impostors it's why, on the more noteworthy and used ones, I at least try to name-squat and/or verify myself before someone else tries to...
