Mr Karadzic, 63, lived in a "very convincing" way using false papers, he said.

So NGSers, tell me, if you would be on the run and needing to hide, for any reason, what will be the disguise you will take? How will you make it convincing?

And who do you think will be able to crack that disguise?

I would try to turn into a man.

... But I am short, and definately built like a girl. So that might not fly.

Ooooh! Maybe a hobo!!!

... but I like homes, and showers, and a kitchen to cook my own food in ... I'd hate not cooking for myself ...

Maybe I'd go out like Julia Roberts, as a whore who works for a super rich guy in a nice NYC apartment, where as long as I am a good girl, an easy life is handed to me!

Yes! That's the ticket! :P

Probably someone who reads this thread, eh?

Well, in primary school I enjoyed brief infamy as 'the boy in the blue balaclava' so that might be nice to revisit, I suppose. Wouldn't have that long drawn-out hideous phase as I try with less impressive results to grow a Karadzic beard, anyway.

Get hormone treatments, breast reduction, sex change...

It would take more than breast reductions and hormone treatments to make me look like a guy. :(

Maybe I'd dye my hair. But it wouldn't last, because I can't be bothered to keep touching up my roots. And I wouldn't change the way I dress because there are some colors and shapes that just don't look good on me.

As for who could see through my ruse -- anyone who talks to me for 15 minutes. Who can be bothered to maintain lies, really? Life is too short. Also, what topic is there more interesting to talk about than oneself?

Nope, the only way I could ever remain at large as long as that bastard did would be if my neighbors didn't feel like turning me in.

Ah, well then, we have to think of girly disguises for ya. ;) Old maid, perhaps? :tongue:
Cannot think of a name
27-07-2008, 16:07
A false chin and short hair wig. I have thin long hair, so the wig would be easy, and I have a three inch long goatee, so if I had a clean shaven fake chin, then later on I could go, "Look, do you think I grew this thing over night? It wasn't me!"

How 'bout hag? Or those annoying ladies who talk out loud to themselves and scare children?

Which reminds me, incidentally, that back when I was on the verge of puberty the simple act of having my glasses on totally changed how I looked...

The best disguise is a two-person horse costume. No-one suspects the man in the two-person horse costume.

Then the townspeople will run you out of town because of the rumors that you kidnapped a child and boiled it in a cauldron to turn into potions.

I've always thought I'd look good as an artist myself...living in Montpellier with shoulder length hair and paint from the latest masterpiece all over me

but what war crime shall I commit?

You don't need to commit war crimes to have to wear a disguise. There are many situations in which you may just want to run and hide and never want to be seen again.

well, if you want to put your disguise to use, genocide is probably your best bet. Although something like executing prisoners wouldn't look good either, but you'd have to lose the war in either case.

Well apparently, I will use teaching and moderating to disguise my occupation as Swiss Guard Assassin.

Makes sense.... you wouldn't recognize most clowns sans makeup.

I'd become a hippy. E.G. - Grow out my hair long, wear a hat, say "radical dude" all the time, and not own any firearms.

No one will ever find me.

Former Swiss Guard Assassin Kat. Former. You know the clause in your contract about exposure and continued employment. The one right before plausible deniability.
