Puppets?

Sudden influx of a bunch of new nations posting on one topic with suspiciously similar syntax:

Of course, it's entirely possible that somebody just linked to the thread from some other source and we have a bunch of new visitors, I just thought maybe a mod could check to see if that is the case or if one person is using a bunch of alt nations to troll.

This is the same thread Parkus raised a question about earlier, Bottle, and as far as I can see Kat's response (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=14656871&postcount=2) then is still spot on:

Most likely, Johnny ran to his friends on another forum and said the ebil gay loving liberals needed to hear the truth.

Also, I saw what you did (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=14681528&postcount=1572) there:

*Lights candles in a pentacle formation*

*Sprinkling of virgin goat blood*

*Ominous Latin incantation*

Oh great and powerful MODs! We humbly beg you to appear and impart unto us your wisdom! Reveal the truth to our unworthy eyes! Is this thread home to common trolls or puppet-trolls?

*Sacrifice of beer, chocolate bars, and spare ribs*

Your sacrifice did not find favour in Our eyes. Prepare to lose 1.5 villages, two-thirds of your flocks, the odd firstborn ... and oh, yes, We've got a nice little plague here, too, We've been itching to try it out.

Maybe next time, you'll remember to perform the Ritual Unwrapping of the Chocolate Bars.

Bottle would be so much better served simply leaving cheques for the Moderators. ;)

But please, whatever you do, do not burn the women's clothing and underwear, because that would really punish us and really teach us a lesson and also make us worship you ten times more! But don't do it, it would be so cruel!

I suspect that it is someone with a little too much time on their hands...

We've had a look at the nations in question and we aren't seeing any similarities, so they're definitely different people.

Ditto what Siro says and what other mods have weighed in with- looks to me like Homophobe Du Jour ran off to the HomoHaters forums to round up a bunch of like-minded (and similarly skilled) debaters to try and tip the scales.

They did share the same characteristics, which would easily let anyone - even me - believe it was a single poster. Ah, the hive mind. :)
