I accidentally stumbled onto the RWAD64 name at the Game Pond shortly after we got those emails by pure coincidence. I didn't realize it was a person until I did. I thought it was referencing some N64 racing game I'd never heard of.

I've seen quite a few incarnations of this "Slayer" guy and I still don't really know who he is, or really "get" him. It looks to me like he just thinks what he does is funny for some reason.

Aye, yai...

#1. More than anything else, I think the fact that almost every one of the suspected names has shown up between Thanksgiving and Christmas is a pretty big indication that they're all the same person. You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to deduce that he's probably visiting family around that time, which means that's either the only time he has internet access, or he won't pull his stunts from his normal living quarters because he doesn't want to...

While they are similar in some ways, I don't think SlayerX is GH64 for another reason: GH64 hated the Game Pond and everyone involved in it, so I don't think he'd begin his attack on the community by claiming that he knew Kiera really well and sticking up for people he thinks were "well-respected" (ha ha!)

On the other hand, if SlayerX is NOT Viper Diamond, then I have to confess that *I* don't know who SlayerX is. As far as I know, this whole drama...

Even if that's true, how is that evidence that he's not SlayerX?? As has been pointed out over and over again, RWAD64 has the same poor grammar and obsession with NES/Japanese stuff that Slayer had. So we can just add "RWAD64" to his list of million-and-one names. And wasn't that the name he put as the subject line on all the emails he sent to DHN recently? (I guess now we know why he did that. I thought it was just that he was...

Viper Diamond was RWAD.

Same URL a couple of years before, by RWAD.

I never would have known deusmortui and luxverum were the same user except that I spotted the URLs in his geocities sites. They didn't seem that much alike, but they both showed up at the same time. The longer you've been around, the easier it is for you to spot these things, and I think sometimes you're trying too hard to give people the benefit of the doubt.

Slayer has been around a pretty long time and at least as long as the Viper Diamond name first showed up. In fact, both showed up at the same time and both were always saying they were Nine Inch Nails fans.

And again, Slayer only has problems with grammar depending on how pissed off he is (and what big words he's trying to use). GH64 was the same exact way, hence my post above.

Not only that, but I checked the Viper Diamond IP against three of Slayer's names and...

I'm pretty sure Viper Diamond was around before any Slayer, and I don't remember him ever having that kind of problem with his English.

But FO also said that Viper Diamond was SlayerX, and I'm pretty sure that those two people could not be the same person.

Yes he is.

I mean, they're exactly alike in every way, shape, and form, but they could not possibly be the same person? Wha?

I really don't think all these people are Slayer. I'm not even sure who is supposed to be Slayer anymore.

FO said that maybe the original Slayer is also SlayerX. The original Slayer being the guy with the really bad grammar. I doubted that at first, because he seemed harmless, but FO said that he might have only seemed harmless because he lacked the English skills necessary to convey what a jerk he was. Okay, well, I guess my view of human nature is dim enough that...

I would almost think SlayerX is GH64, except that GH64 hated the NES. Everything else is so similar, though...

Another place that was a common excuse on N-Sider was that one board where every new person was accused of being ESS just because ESS has a million and one usernames. It didn't matter if the person was trying to cause trouble or not. (And I'm probably one to talk since I still think ESS was just GH64, but at least I have solid reasons to think that.)

Well, I don't have sympathy for almost any message board community anymore.

For a good example of why I don't, at POE, fat people and Chinese people don't deserve sympathy, but fucking car thieves do.

I need to find something better to do in my spare time than read the comments there. Otherwise, I'm not sure why I left that place to begin with.

But it's kind of like how at the N64 board at the old N-Sider, there was so much intentional trolling that when people with legitimate arguments eventually showed up, they'd get flamed because everyone was in defense mode.

I'm calling that "Once bitten, troll shy".

It's when people claim they've been trolled before, so now they're sensitive and paranoid that anything could be a troll.

I guess I didn't really explain what I meant by that well enough, and I'm not even entirely sure I agree with it.

I think the main solution, though, is to be intelligent with your arguments whether or not you're dealing with a troll...

I think that shit like that figures very highly into the reason many message board communities don't welcome opposing viewpoints with open arms. It's probably what we would call nowadays "intentional trolling", and it sometimes can be difficult to tell the difference.

People from the Gamepond actually said things like, "It sure is a profound realization that no one at this board, a board that has no Britney Spears fans, defends her when she's insulted."

They also had a strong tendency to say things for the sake of being contrary and I remember a specific case in which it really annoyed me. Fenrir and I were talking about Snake Rattle n Roll on the Paradise Resort. So this person from the Game Pond played...

It really doesn't make any sense to me, though, why self-proclaimed oldschool gamers act so apologetic to mainstream gamers, when mainstream gamers will rarely accept an oldschool view in return.

The reason that happens is because people want to look good to as many people as they possibly can. If the majority of people believe that the Playstation2's graphics are always superior to the NES's graphics then it's easier to play to that attitude and attempt to convert the handful that would go against it than to be the one to go against it yourself.
