OR they will be if u all open up ur %$#@ EYES!!!!! Like it will say: Leaderofthe(SM) <- thats the real guy Leaderofthe(SM).1 is fake if u c .1 they r fake.
Now for some1 like -Z- he probably has 50 imposters u can tell if it says : .2 .3 etc. Now if its some1 was an imposter for Nathen c <- hes fake Nathen has a copyright symbol not a "c" i've seen some prettypathetic atempts for people trying 2 copy Nathen like this 1 time this 1 guy was called Nate 'cause he thought that was his real name (idiot) then there was another punk who spelled NNate (stupid idiot).
Well thats all for now.
UF Zachh is going.

Zach, the .1 bit of a name is not an imposter. It is just a player who has left a game and rejoined it without changing team. It's the same in Orbz.

NNate is my cousin and was certainly not trying to imitate Nathan... I know the guy who's name online is Nate, (probably the one you saw), and I asked my cousin to make his name different.

the .1,.2 system is so that if you have the same name as someone else, there is a distinguishing mark. Usually .1's are just players who happened to pick the same name or are doing an extremely poor impersonation job.

One of the cleverest attempts I've ever seen was a guy who did - Ben: (SA). In game the colon is quite hard to see. Another one is a period after Ben or so on.

Plus, it takes idiots to know them doesn't it Zach? I would suggest you not write about imperstonators till you're sure what you're talking about.

Besides Zach, the problem is not having an impersonator playing while you are in the game, the problem is the impersonator playing as you when you are not around.

Thus the .1 is not a deciding factor. If He enters the game with my name, then I enter the game, I have the .1 on my name.

Well, like when that arnoldisgay guy,...heh, he had my sisters full name EXACTLY how she has its, and there was no .1 at the end, i think thAts why it is so believable.

If you see Gnomie.1 it's because my crappy ISP has dropped my crappy ISDN line, so I've had to remake the connection and join the game again. The game says "ah two Gnomies" and gives me Gnomie.1.

Only a very amateur impostor would use a .1 name.

Gnomie - je ne puis pas penser
