This is a pretty self-explanatory thread.

If you feel like confessing to your shameful puppeteering ways, post the names of any or all puppet nations you post to NSG with*

I'll copy your confession up to this front post to make a handy alphabetical list.

Afterthought: If you want your name taken back off the list, delete (EDIT: That was dumb of me, please repost) or edit (EDIT: dumb too) the post where you made it.

EDIT: (edit of "afterthought" yeah, it's a train-smash now): To change anything with your name in it, just post again please.

After-afterthought: There are no puppeteers or puppets. Both will appear in their alphabetical place.
Bold is for claimed puppetmaster, unbold for puppet. Every name should appear twice, except those with no puppets.

Any poster claiming to have no puppets (on their solemn oath and in fear of a wedgie) has their name in RoyalBlue

*This changed after about 200 posts. Before it said "your puppet accounts" ... so if you want to retract, you still can. My bad.

I made a puppet once upon a time when jolt was crapping out and wouldn't let me log in. The idea was to investigate whether it was jolt being broked, or if I was banned or something. Turns out jolt was being broked. But that was ages ago, so the nation is long dead.

Also. The Tribes Of Longton.

Disputed claims will henceforth be settled by requiring confirmation from both the user and the puppet.

I am Il Ruffino.

AND

I am Whereyouthinkyougoing

----------------------------

I'm not playing favourites here, everyone. The difference is that Barringtonia's post doesn't confuse me by saying "I am Katganistan"

For me to tell any other poster not to joke would be the height of arrogance. Perhaps Ifreann wasn't the most deserving target, but I trust him to let me make the point without going postal. The point was "don't deliberately confuse me" and Iffy has my respect for posting a real puppet name and posting it early.

Plenty of people use puppets for entirely good reasons, it's not always a sneaky or trollish thing. Let's get a good list of at least those who are open about their puppetry, and any who want to come out of the closet are bonus.

Well, actually... NH, if I had three puppets and in this thread, they claimed to be puppets of each other, would that be correct or would I, as the original puppetmaster, have to correct those statements and degrade their relationships to a mere "co-puppetry"?

You're making no sense whatsoever, but that's okay.

You may bleat all you want, but in the end, it's only you who can answer this because it's you who makes up the rules. So, let me simplify the scenario:

a) X has three puppets named A, B, and C, in chronological order of creation.

b) A, B, and C only exist as dependent puppets of X.

c) In this thread, A claims to be the puppetmaster of B. For the prupose of this thread, is that a correct claim, or does X need to exert their authority as true, original and sole puppetmaster and dispute that claim?

Seriously, under this scenario, X needs to check into the funny farm.

There's a link to a thread. I don't really expect you to read the thread, but I think it illustrates that putting anything that even looks like a puzzle to NSG and pretending that I know the one and only answer is going to leave me with "more holes than a horse-trader's mule"

So I asked the assembled company to solve the problem for me.

You may bleat all you want, but in the end, it's only you who can answer this because it's you who makes up the rules.

Not really. I made up the rules at the start, but a license to edit the OP is a wonderful thing. Now the rules are your fault ... :p

So, let me simplify the scenario:

a) X has three puppets named A, B, and C, in chronological order of creation.

b) A, B, and C only exist as dependent puppets of X.

c) In this thread, A claims to be the puppetmaster of B. For the prupose of this thread, is that a correct claim, or does X need to exert their authority as true, original and sole puppetmaster and dispute that claim?

Yes. :p

Actually, I didn't ask anyone which of their nations was founded first, and I'm damned if I'm going to go and look them all up.

If a poster claims to 'have a puppet' then I put the nation that claimed that in bold. If their "puppet" claims to own the "puppetmaster" then they both get marked unbold as puppets.

I'm not having everyone try to get both their nations in bold so they look more important. ;)

If someone's puppet fights with their (other puppet? puppetmaster?) they have a serious ego problem and get marked as mutual puppets. The left hand and the right hand should know what the other is doing (they're the same person, after all)

I leave you to meditate on the location of the third puppet ...

Alright.. so you'll accept A's claim to be the puppetmaster of B, which I'l let pass.. so what if I come out saying that X is A's puppetmaster? Do we get a triangle listing in your OP? And is puppetmastery transitory, that is, if X is master of A, and A master of B, is X automaically master of B, too, or do we need a seperate claim for that?

a) There's such a thing as an IP which limits the ability to go around a ban unnoticed quite some.

b) It's less opinions and more modes of expressing it that get you banned.

c) Mods don't hand out bans because it feels so good for them, but because they fulfil a contract they made with Max.

d) The ones running the forum need to enforce certain rules in order to not lose their licence to run such a forum, so it's less of a "wanting to" and mroe of a "needing to".

If editing, please post again to draw my attention to it.

After-afterthought: There are no more puppetmasters or puppets. Both will appear in their alphabetical place.
That also makes it easier to find a person by their declared puppet name. Bold is for claimed puppetmaster, unbold for puppet.

Suddenly I'm glad I don't live "down there" :eek: :D

It's OK. But then, I'm not a sheep.

I had one puppet (Thou Shalt Not Lie) just over 3 years ago that made 71 posts. I let it die a natural death.

I'll put it in the list anyway. "Bosh and Pecs" didn't have a very auspicious career either.

The fun of discoursing with people I know something about when they don't know anything about me, well ... let's just say it didn't feel very sporting.

Sagredo was an even sadder case. He was to be my alter ego, my born-again good guy. But whenever I'd get my head into that shape, poor Sagredo was too cowardly to post.

I don't like those that use their puppets for "puppet wanking".

Corneliu = LancasterCounty = Allegheny County + 40 other puppets

You don't like Corneliu ? Who ever would have guessed! :p

Also, I have a strong suspicion that Corneliu had a puppet called Formal Dances who stated that she was Corny's brother. :D
Highly unlikely that they would both use the word "samething" (one word), and the expression "oh brother"?

Corny had a sister, and your grudge extended to her? To the extent that she changed virtual gender and then went away? Nice work, CH.

Seriously though, don't you have brothers or sisters? I still use idioms from my childhood and my sister uses the same ones. For instance, our mother taught us to say "pig's bum!" to get us out of the habit of using the f-word ... and I still find occasion to use it.

Deep Kimchi = Whispering Legs = Sierra BHTP = Eve Online = ???

Careful what you say about HotRodia, some of us love his work! :p

i had a few but they are all dead.

OK, see your later post now. It will make the list look much bigger, which in my twisted way I consider good. Ta.

The Blessed Chris is my puppet

Going in the list. Edit in one of the joke smilies or post again if you want it back out.

The world is my puppet. you're all dancing on my command as we speak.

The few times I've needed to use an acronym for FreedomAndGlory I used "F&G" to help the poor thing stay in denial.

This is really about what constitutes a "claim." I'm fine with people joking about being puppets of each other and so on, but the job becomes impossibly hard if I've got to make a judgement call as to what's a joke and what isn't.

"I am Bosh and Pecs" or "I post under the name Bosh and Pecs sometimes" or "Bosh and Pecs is my puppet" are claims.

"When Bosh and Pecs made that ridiculous challenge to CTOAN, I was drunk" is not a claim. Too many ambiguities. "I am B&P" is not a claim. I can't be expected to know every possible username that might be abbreviated that way. "Bosh and Pecs is my puppet. ;)" is not a claim. Even if it's true, the suggestion that it might be a joke makes it not a claim.

OK?

If Posi is FreedomAndGlory, I definitely want to know about it, and I think a few other people would too. But he will have to prove it by logging in as FreedomAndGlory and posting a confirmation, because it was challenged. By me.

I didn't believe Free Soviets' claim to be The Cat-Tribe. I challenged it, TCT posted a joke. Claim busted.

Anyone who doubts one of the claims that made it to the list can challenge, but please don't just do it frivolously.

What is your major malfunction? "Not fair"? What, you had to go to all that trouble to write down two names, and now you don't get your name in the list three times? Poor baby.

Like it says at the bottom of the OP, if you want your name taken back off, just say so. If you want to edit your own post so the puppet names aren't splurged to the whole world, just go do it. I won't leave anything in the list which has been retracted.

Jesus fucking Christ man, loosen up a bit. No need to get your knickers in a bunch. Don't be a n00b, it was obviously just mock offense on my part. Who puts "hmph" in a serious post?

You don't know much, do you? Jesus fucked Mary. I mean, who is this "Christ" you speak of ... ya think he fucked himself? That would be some kind of fucking miracle.

I am a n00b. See my join date? I'd never used a forum before that exact day. You might think a year is long enough to learn, but my brain is getting old. The older you get, the harder it is to learn new stuff.

Thanks for cluing me in on the "hmph" thing though. I took it as it would be in speech, a dismissive sound. I thought I had the "meh" down, but it doesn't seem to be working. I'll try the "hmph" some time.

I only ever write out or even say "hmph" in mock indignation. As in, I'm not really all that indignant.

Well, even if fucking oneself is impossible, people do tell each other to do so all the time.

In any case, which Mary do you mean? I hope you mean the Magdalene, because otherwise, that would make ancient carpenter-boy a literal mother-fucker.

Oh no, I got it all right. I've just never had anyone ask me what my major malfunction was in a way that was anything but extremely insulting (yes, I've been asked this in person... a few times), so that's the way I'm used to interpreting it.

So we're friends for now?

I used the exact form of words from the movie. I don't claim to have perfect grammar, but the expression "What is your major malfunction" doesn't scan right for me. If I'd used quote marks the first time, it might have been more clear that I was quoting the Senior Drill Instructor.

The SDI is using the only technique he knows, bullying. He uses it on an armed man who he has basically driven insane. He gets shot dead.

That was my equivalent of your "hmph." As I said, you aren't getting my jokes and I'm not getting yours.

Your honour has been impugned, fair poster!

You have been called not just "a troll" but "a bit of trollishness."

Are you Pure Metal's "bit of skirt" or a real poster?

Post to this thread and declare your honour, and a most righteous wedgie will be delivered to the impugner of it, that most perfidious Pure Metal.

I haven't worked out how to wedgie a purely metallic poster ... but I'm working on it!

Oh, and I challenge Pure Metal's claim to be the pupeteer of The blessed Chris.

Oh no, I've never been told I have a major malfunction by a friend. Generally in the past it's generally done by people who already don't like me.

I've seen the movie it's just that the "major malfunction" quote has been used against me in surprising seriousness and anger in the past.

As for "hmph," it just sounds too silly to me to use seriously.

Yeah. I could have written an essay just for that one line "You need friends who don't ..<etc>". I thought you'd pick it out.

I'm not going to write an essay here, not least because I have to be up early tomorrow. Suffice to say: that's abuse and you shuoldn't have to take it. It's a question of having control over your environment, and if people are that callous towards you and you can't just walk away and not care, you need to get more control over your environment.

The essay would have been about the injustice of ageism; the oppression of the newcomers by those who got here first. I'll post it up some day when I have it right. It might not be entirely relevant to why people can hurt you with words, but probably not entirely irrelevant either.

I've seen the movie it's just that the "major malfunction" quote has been used against me in surprising seriousness and anger in the past.

... by assholes who took the side of the Gunnery Sargeant (aka Senior Drill Instructor). Don't be their Lawrence (aka Private Gomer Pile.)

And getting back out of the analogy: I don't believe in "grow a thicker skin." If someone is hurting you, find out how and why. Good fighters always use their brain, and the best fighters hardly use a fist or a weapon at all. Or even a harsh word.

Back into the analogy: that's Private Joker. "It's the duality of man Sir: the Jungian thing." Then the colonel tries to get him killed. And fails because Joker asks along the road and finds his mates.

Bloody great movie.

As for "hmph," it just sounds too silly to me to use seriously.

Total lack of vowels, perhaps? Like "bwrk!" or "Mmmmm!"

The naivety of my method does not make me a "naive person."
The method of this thread was inspired by this (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=13198747) other lighthearted thread.

You have already contributed to this thread, and to the development of the method, although being asked to consider corner cases which seemed to be presented more to make me give up than to improve the method was not much appreciated at the time.

If you want to make a claim to a puppet, go right ahead. If you want to challenge one or two particularly egregious cases, go right ahead.

If you can think of some method (other than a pogrom) of challenging claims of "no puppet" please do say.

Shut up you. Stop stealing my identity; it might not be particularly nice, or, for that matter, happy, but it's mine, and I want it back!:mad:

Bad Linen was an absolutely hilarious user name. I love anagrams, even though they scream "puppet." My dead puppets name is a spoonerism, which is a variety of anagram I guess.
