Identifying puppets

There is someone impersonating me.

They have created the nation "The Lovely Prue" supposedly as a puppet of Dezzan. This so-called puppet is in 1234 and has come from West Pacfic where Dezzan is the UN delegate.

Presumably the mods have ways and means of telling which puppets are connected to each other?

i don't mind getting deated if i do something bad but i'd sure hate to get deated for something someone else does in my name!!!

I'm sure an IP investigation or similar would resolve the matter.

As soon as he's trying to incriminate you, report him to the mods, and he's their's, but don't expect the mods to react on the name alone. It is perfectly legal to call your nation anything that resembles another's name, as long as it isn't a mod's name.

yeah i realise that Carinthe but this guy was answering stuff about me as if he was me...which i find a bit weird.

Don't know much about IP stuff - presumably we're different unless we have the same provider? How far can the mods track back?

Every computer has a different IP address, so as long as you aren't using the same computer it should be easy to see that it's an impersonation.
