I have been terrible and have hidden an alt account on lemmygrad!
Spring is coming up soon in a few months, and that also means Easter. And Easter means Easter eggs!
Anyway. As you might have guessed, your goal in this Easter egg hunt will be to find out my alt account!
You could win a Steam game out of it! (Not any steam game but a specific one as I have some keys, but it’s good I promise).
Here’s an FAQ to help you out during this hunt:
Why are you doing this?
I got the idea from last time Wisconcom tried to infiltrate (not the discussion from a few days ago, even earlier) but never got around to it. I want to show him how easy it is to actually make a convincing alt if you put some effort into it, which he never cares to do.
But I have full faith in my comrades to figure out my alt account in a timely manner!
I must let you know that I taken care to make this alt account as ethically as I could, considering the circumstances. I can’t say much more at this time though.
How do I participate?
Everyone can participate, except the admins as they know which account I have hidden around if they look into our account requests.
You will have to rely on your sleuthing skills as well as discuss with your comrades (edit: forgot to finish my sentence); As of now I will not be replying to DMs about the alt, but this could change too.
When you feel that you have collected sufficient clues, drop a comment in the thread below!
How do I win?
This is where it gets interesting. To win, you must not only correctly identify the account, but also explain your reasoning.
Then, you must make that reasoning known in the comments below – that’s right, everything you say can be used by anyone else to help them so make sure you’re right!
This means you also can’t just spam account names until you get the right one.
The first person to figure out the correct account wins! But if you win, you get to decide who should win the key to the game, it doesn’t have to be you. That way, you all work collaboratively like communists instead of filthy individualistic capitalists. (we can change this if you also collectively decide it’s a bad idea).
There might be runner-up winners (2nd, 3rd place etc) as I had originally set aside one key for the game but I still have some that people apparently don’t want to take. How ungrateful!
What do I win?
I don’t want to spoil the game just yet but it has good reviews, it’s a good time waster and it came out not long ago on Steam.
What if the hunt is too hard?
In the spirit of an egg hunt, I might periodically drop hints. I won’t specify how though, you’ll have to keep your eyes open.
I have no idea if this is gonna be easy or hard, so we’ll see how it goes.
When does the hunt begin? And when does it end?
The hunt begins now, my alt could be literally anyone! Maybe it’s not even created yet? 👀 Who knows! Certainly not me.
And it ends whenever I run out of keys. However, if people find it fun, then we will not spoil the answer until everyone has had their fill. The remaining players will simply be playing for fun.
If nobody finds my account for a month, let’s say? Then the hunt still goes on! You will find this alt, or perish. It’s an order!
It’s all fun and games till you accuse someone of being an alt because “I don’t believe this person is real” only to find out you were wrong and now you feel like a suuuuuuper douche.
Also, lol you all don’t have alts already?
One goatfucker is enough already
What’s an alt useful for in Lemmygrad?
spoiler
shhhhh I actually don’t but now everyone will be looking for sneaky Zoidberg
going THERMONUCLEARLMAO. Glad I didn’t respond directly to that question and read the post cause I was about to comment exactly this without the strike through. Hahahahahah
That is something to consider. I don’t want to interfere with the game (hence why I am not replying to anyone in the thread, I think I can drop that), but I also don’t want this to turn into a witch hunt. I might step in more if it starts to get too far, here’s hoping it stays fun and casual.
Its amusing to go from Hexbear where there was a discussion about how its rude to “wrecker-jacket” i.e. accuse people of being wreckers because it encourages bad-faith discussion when a post is genuine, to here where we have a fun game called “spot the alt account”
Oh god this is giving me nightmares of the years I used to organize with anarchists and they wouldn’t stop “X-jacketing” each other (usually it was “cop-jacketing”), and constantly getting into shitfights.
Hexbear is mostly pro-AES tho, so they’re doing a great job there.
Hexbear is good, they seem to be convinced theres a difference between like twitter fake anarchists who dont support AES and take weird lib anti-bedtime positions and “real” anarchists who support AES and read theory.
I’m not sure why you’d call yourself an anarchist if you support AES since that seems like it would fundamentally contradict what you’re supposed to believe in, but hey they dont seem to have any problems with anarchists being anti-China or anything over there so who am I to judge
