View Full Version : IMPOSTER ALERT
RageMonsta
11-14-2001, 20:34
Just to clear things up......
A certain idiot know as [***] has been abusive while in the chat room with a false Rage Clan name......he had used RageLegend and no doubt will try to use others......
For some reason he feels the need to use foul and abusive language and spam enough to spoil others enjoyment.
Those who know our clan will realise he isnt with us and will never be (as he also lacks skill never mind his childish behaviour)
He also used RageMonsta with another surname..(so I am told)..he is truly a sad little boy......the matter angers me as I had a youngster say that his mother would be upset if she saw the language he was using.....it isnt right that a small minded person should spoil others fun.
So please be aware of [***] and his actions...yes we have seen all this before....and no doubt again....but I just wanted to make sure that people knew who was doing what.
Any trouble that you may get from any member of Rage or a person claiming to belong to us please e-mail me at monstadog@hotmail.com thank you for your time....
p.s. [**] or whoever you are...stop now....and all will be forgotten....if not....we will look into taking further action against you....and also against your type who aim to cause the on-line community harm.

Indeed I saw him last night. All sensible people knew that wasnt a ClanRage member and ClanRage are very honourable and dont say the things he was saying.
I seem to remember having a large amount of trouble of a very similar nature with someone of a very similar name.
It is very frustrasting but there are some VERY small minded people in this game who seem intent on trying to wreck a good community.
I believe many rage members offered me their support when we had "troubles" and I am sure that we will return the favour if necessary
Boromir...
ithink,
at this point EA should do any steps...
if there are kids who see this and get any trouble with theyr parents, and 1 of us
honourable guys, get/got attacked....
hmmm, something must be done, close the
accounts of this guys!
this is my personla opinion, many guys use some names but the most play always honourable, if they cant do this...well
dont let they play!

Oh my, I met him one/two days back, and I thought he was with Rage. Gah! So there is really no RageLegend?

No, he isn't ours.
And there's more than one ... while this Legend idiot was spamming there was another masquerading as RageSword asking Krast for the Secret Clan Passwords ...
So they're coordinating an attack on our Clan.
Krast warns all Clans to be on the lookout for guys doing tricks like this.
It isn't fun.

plz post ur family names plz, so it will be
easyer to know who the imposter are.

I am so glad the "no names" rule has become such an integral part of our happy community existence that I rarely if ever need to even mention it.
http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/rolleyes.gif
So, next time, just post the false names. It makes no sense to post the "real" name of the suspect since he obviously doesn't use that name anyway. And should he read this post he will know who he is. It just unnecessarily creates more conflict where it is already found in abundance.
Thank you.
Domo arigato, Anssi-sama. You beat me by a few minutes.

So far no RageDevil imposters http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/frown.gif Do I really mean that little to you! Come on I want to see 100 ragedevil names by tomorrow! But seriously these idiots can get quite offensive whilst sitting at home behind their nice computer monitor and linked only to us by phone lines lol. It should be stopped somehow b4 we send the real headhunters out onto the street for them http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif

We know the deal here people, both shiro and Anssi have beaten me to it, but nonames and no debate. Post a list of your legitimate members by all means, but we have to have consistency in our rules and bylaws or we cannot enforce them with confidence. If you want to have debae go read the old threads on these issues, nobody can come up with anything new, so don't bother posting it. We do realise the upsaet this causes, but this was how we dealt withit before.

If someone was hanging on the servers using Doragon as a prefix,
DoragonXYZ for example,
and that person was being offensive in any way I'm afraid I would have no option than to point out that DoragonXYZ is NOT a member of our clan!
It is terribly bad form to impersonate a member of another clan.
The name the imposter uses should be posted so that we can all keep our eye's peeled.
BTW
a RageMonsta Imposter has identified himself over at the official forum - he has admitted to it there, and seems quite proud of himself! http://pub24.ezboard.com/fshoguntotalwarfrm1.showMessage?topicID=3235.topic
there - i didn't identify him - he did that all by himself!!!

heya...
i have an imposter too ...hehehe

11-15-2001, 20:28
The person I mentioned may not be working alone...or may be a victim also.....yes we know the above person is a pain but....we got an imposter RageSword last night and he seems a bit more adult (if thats the correct term)...
And I am sorry but we had to name the person.....how else do we warn others about who is acting like a noodle?
Heart if you have shared your name(s) with anybody else you should let me know...as they are trying to make it worse for you...unless its you alone.....mail me at
monstadog@hotmail.com as I said before all will be forgotten and left to rot if you respect other people....

Quote And I am sorry but we had to name the person.....how else do we warn others about who is acting like a noodle?[/QUOTE]There is ICQ and e-mail for the people you know, there are innumerable other boards. But this one and the Community board are neutral zones, and thus, names are just as off-limits here as they have always been.
Thank ye again.

Hey Boromir just wandering your not suggesting it is me are u? As we did have a bit of trouble but I lost u on the similar name part. I am just checking and clearing up that it is NOT me but i'm sure rage members already know that.

Seriously lads, I understand how irksome this is for you, but we have very clear policies that we have to be consistent about. in fact on this issue i'm inclined to agree with you from a personal stand point, but with my mods hat on we had loads of debate on this issue, and the policy we've got is the result, and i have to agree with the reasoning behind it (have in the sense that it's flawless, not that I'm forced into it). So please don't post names.

Hey Monsta, I know you are a bit more creative than your post here. How bout some of the old news reporter-style posts that make fun of everyone? You could just so happen to mention about a certain imposter and how he was badly mangled in the Geisha house or something. You can break the rules if you are creative and funny in doing so!! http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif Something like: Catiline was seen masquerading as Magyarkhan's geisha the other evening, so that she could get close to me: the Monsta-man! She is shy and did not want me to know that she yearns for the smell of my kibbles n' bits dog breath. But I know. I have seen how she always takes an interest in my posts that mention NAMES. It is not that she is enforcing the rules, it is her way of showing her affection for me!! http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif
PS. Apologies to Catiline, but I did not have much time to write this, so I had to come up with something quick!! http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif PS. Remember: It's not WHAT you say, but HOW you say it!
[This message has been edited by ElmarkOFear (edited 11-16-2001).]
The no-names rule applies to people accused of cheating and/or offensive behavious
NOT to people who are attempting to malign a player or clans good name.
The 'fake' names Imposter's use should be fair game.
If there is a Fake RageMosta out there I want to know the fake's name - so if i see "RageMonsta Wannabeapain" being abusive in the foyer or cheating in a game, i Know it's not the real RegeMonsta!!!
It's not as if we're accusing RageMonsta Wannabeapain of being something he's not. Is It? He's an Imposter - simple!
After all if some fool creates a fake Erado, Catiline, Shiro ...Then those players have a right to point out to the rest of the community that
1. There is an imposter lurking and to beware
2. The fake name the imposter is using
3. The general observed behaviour of the faker
Dark Phoenix was allowed to name his imposter, and that thread was not editied.
As long as we make no assumptions on the 'fake's real identity then we are NOT breaking the rules.
Same holds true for the Official forum.

I am with barocca on this one.
Futhermore a fake name is indeed a fake name. It holds no connection with the assialants identity for a third party member.
[This message has been edited by T (edited 11-16-2001).]
Interesting argument barocca.
The no names thing has certainly served the org well, but I don't think that the imposter issue has ever been dealt with specifically before. It's a similar, but at the same time different. -I like most of what you said though + in these specific instances it may make sense to go against the grain.
Anssi Hakkinen
11-17-2001, 10:53
This issue has been dealt with before, if not quite in this context.
I would recommend the old but still valid way of posting an infiltrator / imposter warning and a list of the clan's real, existing members. This way, it is made clear that the possibility of a fake "clan member" exists, and also that any clan member names outside that list are fakes. However, it avoids accusing anyone directly, simply stating the state of affairs and ultimately serving the purpose.
Pointing the finger on people you *suspect* of being behind clan imposters is quite the same as cheating accusations, if not even more tenuous, since it certainly can't be proved by any means.

I understand the rules of this forum....names etc...(not that I agree)..but when somebody threatens my clan I must act..(why else have we survived for over a year..and with 4 of the original 5 members still active) Oh yes this person was not accused/suspected.....he admitted his actions in STW forum.
But as I stated there...he hasnt done it since (not that I am aware of) so let it go now....
Open challenge to any who really want to test Rage.....come in your name...come to fight....expect no mercy....and if you dont know yet ask around.....your as good as dead.
RAGE AGAINST.

I challenge you to Mikawa River Province, using Magyarkhan's campaign koku value for that province. You and RageDevil vs me. I need the practice and I think your head would look lovely on my mantle for Christmas. I have a nice set of reindeer antlers I will paste to your head, but I am still looking for a red light for your nose. :P LOL Maybe I will donate your head to Kras, he would be able to feed many people due to its humongous proportions.

11-17-2001, 23:24
I see you have picked one of those nice even battle areas...often picked when we get challenged....
Instead I will meet you at the pie counter.....I will consume more pastry products than you Mr Elmo......or we could meet at the bike track and see who really has the fastest rout mopeds in Shogun!
p.s....have you release Bob Hope yet?!?!?!

I had an imposter the other night but his cover was blown when he won three games in a row.

11-18-2001, 14:20
LOL Dump, You will know I am being impersonated if I win a SINGLE game. Monsta: As for Bob Hope, he will be released once you pay the ransom: 300 scooby snacks by midnight. As for a pastry eating contest, I am afraid that those days are over for me, but could I interest you in a fat free yogurt eating contest? bwhahahahaha PS. I have just installed the latest in ROUT technology on my mopeds. My men are faster than ever when catching a hint that a battle is inevitable. I have just signed a contract (in addition to my Nike contract) with the moped company . . they are going to call it the: ELMOped

Well, well. http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/mad.gif
Someone, I suppose the same moron we got here, we know who he is anyway; infiltrated Aku clan and HE USES OUR AKUOFICE name. You all know Ice, so if you see a guy flaming and swearing with that name, call the police.

A possible way of handling this without breaking the official forum rules would be to post the names on your clan's forum and just put up an imposter alert message with the URL to your forum's post on the subject. http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif An extra step, but then everyone will be happy and everybody will have the chance to see who the imposter is.
