I use multiple computers and proxies so as to preserve the illusion of this being a vibrant active community of real people spread over the globe. But really it’s just you and me here.
I give the different users different quirks and personalities for my own amusement. For instance, when writing as Sullla I crank up the pomposity and verbosity. As Ichabod I meditate and channel my inner child. With Gaspar I tweak up the jerk knob a bit. As mackoti I keep responses terse, then apply a filter to add and remove random letters before posting. With Lord Parkin I try to represent the very essence of amorality and chaos. You start to get the picture. Sometimes when I run out of ideas I set up accounts to be smurfs of pre-existing personalities (#inception), though of course in the end they’re all me.
Of course, there isn’t enough time to type out every post myself, so some users are partially programmed. For instance, most of the time Krill is set to automatically generate offensive one-liners. If you pay attention it shouldn't be hard to pick out many of the other high-profile bots.
WTF DO YOU MEAN JERK KNOB TURNED UP YOU ^*&($(#$%^#y(**^*&%&*%&*%$ ?!???!?!! I WILL CUT YOU AND THEN EAT YOUR CHILDREN.
I've got some dirt on my shoulder, can you brush it off for me?
