As far as game characters, we're not tellin', nor are we gonna let others be tellin' either. There was a reason that thread was closed.

Same goes for GMs with their characters. They have a right to privacy, and I'm sure they don't want people constantly harassing them when they are around to have a bit of fun.

i personally want the names so i know to leave'm alone cause if i do something wrong to'm they'll probably blacklist me and give my name to all GM's and i wont get any alters or nothing

LOL! reg

LOL, geez, what some people will do for money.

And I don't think gm's do "personal blacklisting"

Anything you do the gm's should assume is role playing..They see a dumb giantman(or whatever) acting mean to them,not yourself at your computer.
They are probably the only people in the lands that understand this..so you don't really need their names reg

LOL? Gads does reading things like that make me cringe.

But more importantly, why do you need to know the name of a GM's character?

So you won't "do something wrong to them"?

Here's a great idea and it's on the house. Anything you could do to ANY player that would piss them off so much as to blacklist you, perhaps is something you should not be doing.

Don't purposefully be a jerk and you should have no problems. I have been playing for more than a couple years and have never had a big problem with another player. It CAN be done. I have had pickpockets and everything so dont think I play a huggy smoochy empath or anything.

No one needs to know the GM's characters names for any reason. reg

Runon sentence from hell.

Don't post on boards as your character and you'll probably get it. Anonymity is a wonderful thing.

Mahegh/Celtic is one example. Everyone knew him as Celtic from photographs and attendance of past gatherings, official and unofficial. And then he showed up at the last Simucon wearing his Mahegh tag. Avantos/Khaladon is another such example.

In THESE cases, there is no "outting" needed. Just go to the websites that have their photographs and their identities are right there for you to see.

In OTHER cases, where Simu has chosen not to divulge the information, it's none of your business who they are. There's no reason for you to know who they are.

It's *interesting* to know, but unless they choose to tell you, it's none of your business. Period.

In any case, I posted what I did because I was an Asheron's Call beta tester, and when someone gave out my character's name and said that I knew the answers to the majority of the puzzles and the item lists...well, lets just say I had to change ISPs, drop all IM services, and quit playing because I'd get mailbombed with 75+ e-mails a day and constantly harassed in game about my knowledge.

I bet if a lot of GM PC names were released, similar things would occur.

IMHO, if you want to know a GM's PC name...ask the GM if they want to tell you.

It amusing really to hear the arguments (if one can call them that) about how awful the GM's are no matter what they do.

They should be able to play just as anyone else for relaxation, but more importantly, there have been more than one threads on the official boards about why they NEED to play as well.

If they don't play they, are yelled at for not having the experience that the players have in the game they work on, thus not being able to understand players frustrations.

If the names of their characters are given out its an impossibility for them to "play" as just another player and thereby gain the experience needed.

Aint it great to be able to bash them no matter what! You go on with your bad self.

As for your own problems Manodith, I would say you have only yourself to blame for them eh? reg

Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn (what their characters are) but your post is no more than "Hey, look at me! I know who the GMs play, and I'm going to rub it in everyones' faces!" And if it isn't, please, explain to me the point of your post. reg

I don't know Gnomad, I didn't take it that way.

And even if it were, I would think that you responding would be exactly the kind of thing that they would be wanting.

I think you may be making an inference that wasn't intended though.

Just didnt't strike me as a big deal.

Did someone liken GM's to movie stars??????

ROFLMAO

I've watched so many people go from player to GM and grow an ego the size of the US. It really takes a grown up to bring them back down to reality, they are still just a 24/7 computer gamer Joe Schmoe and only 'known' once or twice a year at a small text based game gathering.

Those GMs that can stay grounded and laugh about themselves with others, THOSE are the ones still in the real world and you want to 'hang out' with.

Uliq, Khaladon, Krylan, Andraste, Ophion, Krash, and so on.....bad.

Von, Gromial, Tigermist, Kabosh, Xiri, Vetan, and so on... good.

what was the question again?

That wasn't his point.

His point was that both GMs and celebrities have a right to play Gemstone etc. without being harrassed because of their status. reg
