Performance Alts

[ms_ann_thrope]

I've seen that at least 5 times in the last two weeks. I must not have received the newsletter with the explanation of where and when to use. Could I get a clear and concise definition from an old farter? Preferably not Islandman.

I'm not an old farter, but I have lurked around the General Board since 2002. A performance alt is just like it sounds, an alt with a highly stylized persona. The jeninnflorida nitwit parody of jeninflorida which I first used is an example.

2002 is an old farter.

2002 is an old farter.

I'll defer to your judgement. I wouldn't necessarily assume old farter status as, believe it or not, this is the only account I hold (and have commensurately few posts to my name.)

How would you rate your performance thus far?

I don't get the alts.. Your original username is already an alt.

Why bother creating another just to either go after yourself (which a lot of people do) or go after someone else. Since most people don't change how they post, you kind of know who it is anyway.

I don't do it at LIT but I did anthrotrollogy other places, with success. Most people are so gullible they'll believe anything, the most absurd, immediately.

I learned it from a performance alt named Gary Burbank.

At what point does make-believe die in a person?

Sure. I totally believe you are what you say you are...

TOM MABE another great performance alt

I worked with a guy that was into Roy D. Mercer. That was painful.

Considering I've already dropped the performance (and technically might not be an alt) after so few posts, I'd say quite poor.

Your name still implies "remora fish alt".

True. I never planned on sticking around for very long, but if I do I should probably have my handle changed.

Don't go getting all mopey.

GARY BURBANK

Don't know if it's the same guy, but one guy is really funny with phone stuff...like answering a security sales call like he's a burglar and these people really need their services because he's robbing them blind, and the can of whoop ass skit.
