I believe easy is european, and has a low ping in euro servers, so thats not possible(I hope.)

Z-Man: He doesn't really do anything apart from impostering old players and making them look bad, the whole thing is just very creepy and if something can be done about this then that would be great. If not, then I guess everyone just needs to question it if an old player comes back, sad as that is.

Well, only a really draconian registration enforcement system can put an effective stop on that kind of activity in general, and you know our position regarding that. Deleting impostering accounts where we find them really is our only option. Eternal vigilance and stuff.

He is not easy lol. Easy is a totally different person, not even on the same continent, and by god believe me when I say we IP checked this dude. Actually anybody that applies to degree we do the same to because of Rampage/Silence/noob21/noob8 etc.

PG13 applied for uNk, same IP location...

This does not necessarily mean its the REAL Sp Murder. It could just as likely be an impostered name. Its hard to really say that this person is anyone at all, since he uses so many names.

@Zman What Liz said is correct. Hes generally rude in the servers he enters, unless hes pretending to be someone else and picks up his act a little. Apart from that I wouldnt really consider him to be a threat. He is not capable of doing any real damage, apart from spoiling peoples reputations. Hes more a threat to clans, as he tries to infiltrate many of them at once under different names.

As there is no way to completely get rid of this person, I just posted this as a warning to make sure everyone is aware someone this stupid actually exists. To clans that dont IP their applicants, or even ones that already do, be careful if it winds up coming from Raleigh.

As for Easy, I apologize for raising the suspicion. It was just a hunch.

some will end up comming from Raleigh....me and my bro both live in Clayton, NC and our IP registers out of Raleigh (15 min from my house)...so make sure you are not deleting my account or my bro's. XD As that would be bad. My opinion on the situation is this person should be disposed of...there is no need to have someone like this causing all these problems which in turn could cause a clan to collapse or someone's reputaion be destroyed...i say burn him in hell??? Is anyone with me?????......XD jk

Anyway, ya this "guy" is a creeper and idk what to do with him except get rid of him. :P

Actually, there was an SP Murder before. A while back, perhaps a more active person would know, bloodthirsty maybe?

Well, it seems to me that there are a handful of 'real' people for whom there is a Raleigh counterpart. Yo... INW, you live (theoretically) close to this guy, and you're saying 'no way to fix the problem'? C'mon, man, where's your testosterone?! KNOCK EM OUT, FOO!

On a more serious note- I can tell you that I remember deleting noob8's armagetron.co.uk forum account, because no such noob exists. I can also tell you that its likely he may've run around as noob21 for a bit of time. Its no coincidence that 21 was MY FORMER NOOB NUMBER. That was until 'noob8' decided to play dumb games to fish out my identity, and then loudly announce in a well-populated server, several times, that he doesn't think I (noob21) was actually Nano. Hrmph. Speakin of, I think I'm going to go post up this info on Angel's forums, and run an IP check there to see if any new accounts from that guy have shown up. I believe I still have mod or admin level powers, there

I remember a Murder that was obsessed with ID for a long time

Yes, there was a Murder that was obsessed with ID. He was young and tried hard to get in but got rejected a couple of times.

He trained himself though and joined Speeders, at the time Psyko was inactive so maybe that is why he doesnt remember him. He is even on the Speeders Ex-members list Psyko.
