I felt like this restriction also forced me to anonymize my posts and play style as much as possible or indeed try to mix it up a bit to give an actively false impression of whom I might be. I think one of the major discussions concering the anonymous accounts would revolve around this subject; How much can you reveal? The only player I "figured out" was, unsurprisingly, AnneThePizzaGal, who has a very unique posting style and who didn't shy from it (especially in later stages of the game). That was a pretty solid clue to his identity and not something I would have felt comfortabel doing if my style was that distinct, yet I didn't feel ATPG broke any rules...

Opinions, anyone?
The rule was that you had to post under only the anonymous account for as long as you were alive, but there was no restriction on revealing yourself for who you were in the game - I half expected people to know who the alive people were in the endgame, much like Pizza's situation anyway. I debated it for a bit, but eventually decided against it, mainly for the reason that there would be absolutely no way of backing up your claim if you wanted to reveal yourself until you died. Who's to say that an "I'm Spartacus" type of situation wouldn't come up and cause some amusement for everybody?
