Ditto on the above Same-IP things.

I sometimes, well, a lot of the time, am sharing the IP of my school internet. I only know of Sarom, jumpywinghimand Samm. Horngeek did, but he's been gone for ages now.

I've gotta say, it'd be odd if I was alting between 4 people for a solo adventure.

No other accounts, personally. Always seemed like too much work.

As for others that might share the same IP as me while posting, lets see...everyone that posts from my office buildings where I work. NAT works like that. Also, anyone in my area who might pick up my dynamic comcast IP. Plus, at least one of my players has an account here(name unknown), and he probably posts on the laptop he brings, and hooks up to my wireless. And for fun, I sometimes post off my phone, and the 3G network also uses dynamic IP addresses.

BTW, since IP matching doesn't significantly impact things like multi-ing in games, and tends to do annoying things to the player base due to, yknow, the internet working that way, why would a web forum be any different?

Okie doke.

I've been off the site for a couple of years and have only just realised this note existed now as i have again taken create interest in re-joining the community.

About a year and a half ago i decided to rejoin the community and, since it had been a while, i had forgotten the exact name of my account (in part due to the mis-spelled, though moderately comical, nature of my user name). So i created a new account (user name: Lossarim).
I then shied away from computer use for some time and recently came across a book containing my old passwords. Naturally i chose to us the older account as it is some what more impressing.

So, now i have a couple of accounts in need of merging.

Could the Mods please be kind enough to merge the accounts of Gorbad the Limb Rippa and Lossarim together, preferable making the unified name Lossarim.


Many thanks for the time.

It has come to my attention that my brother, Toxin605, also exists in the Playground.

He occasionally uses my computer, as it turns out.

Ban him. Don't ban me.

When I signed up here for the first time, I used the username Zen_Heart for a small while before I decided to lurk and allowed a friend to use the account when she was over at my house. She has since lost interest, so I think that I'd like that account closed, please.

My brother Gerasheo rarely posts, but when he does it's from the same computers that I use. Also, I sometimes log in from computers at my school, and I know at least one person there has an account here.

I don't have any alternate accounts, so no merging or banning please.

I have an old account, Angel of Nessus, that I haven't used in almost a year. I ended up forgetting the account's password after I stopped using it and, believe it or not, ended up just forgetting that I had the chance to reset it. A few weeks ago, my interest was renewed and I made a new account- this one.

A few days ago I felt like taking a second shot at what seemed like what would have been a successful game, Flames of the Phoenix, but decided to try and repost under my old account to verify myself as the creator. A helpful member PM'ed me and notified me that multiple accounts are banned, which I was unaware of (even though it makes sense). I've posted a request in the supplement thread to have Angel of Nessus deleted in favor of this one. Honestly, I had no idea, so please don't throw me into the pit. GitP is, as I'm sure Shakespere once said, "Seriously Awesome".

Hey, I just realized I was breaking the rules when I created this account. I wanted a "dungeon master" account for when I run games in the pbp.

Since it's against the rules I'd like to merge my two accounts.

Jopustopin is my main account and this is my secondary.

My friend often uses my computer (but not always) since he doesn't have email access and his account name is Growin.

I don't have an alternate account but I sometimes log from my fiancee's, Jumilk, netbook, though she hasn't been active lately.
Since I log from the university sometimes, odds are I also share IP with some other people I don't know.

Well.

Due to circumstances that I do not completely understand, by Real Account, BladeofOblivion, appears to have been deleted, closed, or otherwise made inaccessable to me.

I've made a new account to post this and maintain the PbPs I'm in, but I would greatly appreciate if a Moderator or Administrator could somehow restore my old account.

In such a circumstance, this one should be merged into it.

I looked up posts from your original account; it exists and has not been banned or such.
