I'm relatively new to the General Board. I'm vaguely aware of some common lore, but could use a primer.

For example: Someone faked their death then came back? LT? Is that Jacquelope?
Who is AJ? Cap'n Amatrixa? Why AJ? Old username?
Some GBers are married others? Huh? Who?
Some people's alts are well-known. This could be a whole primer in itself, but who is who is who?

Can you give me a GB-for-Dummies history lesson--not least of all so I can stop wandering unarmed into psychotic people's threads?

LovingTongue is Jacquelope. But, I think I was gone during the "faked death" period.

Who is AJ? Cap'n Amatrixa? Why AJ? Old username?

It's a reference to Cap'n Amatrixa's old username.

Some GBers are married others? Huh? Who?

Yup. Cheyenne and someone. Ullaven and Recidiva. There are a few others, too. The married ones are less interesting than lit dating couples, and whose-fucked-who, as well.

Some people's alts are well-known. This could be a whole primer in itself, but who is who is who?

It's widely accepted that Cade is Beco is Faneros, and that "they" have numerous alts, as well.

do you think cade is beco?

i've never quite bought into that.

I married patient1 almost 5 years ago. But before that we were a Lit dating couple and could have participated in the who-fucked-who threads. ;)

I can't say for sure. I believe they, at least, both, have quite a few alts. At this point, though, I've had Cade on ignore for so long, that I can't really compare his posting style. And Beco's disappeared, again, right?

Right - patient1 - he does not post often, and I forgot his name. Congratulations on the upcoming five year anniversary!
 
Lejack was originally LovingTongue. When he decided to change his name, he started a thread, claiming to be a friend and announced that the Lit member known as Lt had died choking on peanuts, while on a trans Atlantic flight.

This was supposed to be a joke, or prank as he called it, but no one thought it was funny. He had already told the world that he and his wife were traveling to Africa to adopt an infant. The prank death left everyone with the image of Lt's wife, holding their new baby, while she sat beside his dead body for the remainder of the flight.

He still can't understand why no one thought it was funny.

The story of AJ is not nearly as dramatic.
 
You are Wok? I'd never have guessed

i'm not.

cade alleges that. i am not sure why. not that it bothers me, i like wok a lot.

ditto drown. sean breathed life into that rumor. again, i'm not sure why because he knows who i am. i like drown, too. he's better at making bebop words than me.

I've never understood why anyone would think you were an alt. I spent maybe ten minutes thinking the Drown thing was conceivable, primarily because around the same time I saw Drown's Nola thread and the vibe kinda felt like you for some reason. Otherwise, why anyone would think you would use an alt is beyond me.

You know what would be a lot of fun? Creating a who-fucked who game, you know like this:

Now THIS would be an awesome, entertaining use of an alt. People would howl, complaining about the drama, but fuckin' a would people be subscribing to that thread!

drown and i live fairly close to one another so we make similar references and, probably, to a certain degree have similar on-line "accents". and, sometimes i post in verse that sorta but not really resembles his.

those are the only ideas that come to me.

Yeah, makes sense. An awful lot of alt accusations are based on nothing more than this. *shrug* Never had much time for that game, personally. How have you been, anyway?

That would be amazingly entertaining matching game, that would be hard for anyone to resist guessing who fucked who.

I'm not sure why people don't do things like that with alts, rather than troll dollparts or promote racist propaganda.

Exactly. An alt to do that would never be put on ignore.
