TOP TEN WAYS YOU CAN TELL IF SOMEONE IS AN ALT

by Hazed

Is he or isn't he? Just how do you separate the genuine newbods from the alternate characters set up by high-ranking players? Does it even matter if you can? Here's some of the players' ideas about how to tell the difference.

1. They all buy their ships from the same planet.
2. They have names with the letters "bot" or "droid" at the end.
3. They talk to each other over the comms.
4. They cross-post to each other.
5. They slip up and talk on the wrong screen.
6. As Commanders they seem strangely knowledgeable about futures.
7. They submit one another for the Fed Funnies.
8. As Groundhogs they are giving out suggestions for planetary economics.
9. They go from Groundhog to Adventurer in a couple of days.
10. Their names start with 'Z' and they attend the Alt-Anonymous meetings.

Thanks to Catspaws for the theme, and for most of the suggestions, and to Monodefuego who also contributed.
