    Just a pre-emptive reminder that while just linking into it is fine, no discussion of the Blue Room thread outside the Blue Room.

    Classic attempt at misdirection... "It can't possibly be me...look at us talking!"

    Hardly ever works and usually makes it more obvious over time as similar tones and posting styles leak in as the troll becomes more comfortable in the dual. :jayzus:

    It was fairly obvious to anyone who's ever gotten a PM from apostle when he's bored at work and attempting to be civil. Mullet Man spoke the same, ingenuous way.

    On the other hand, I've had people at TK accusing me of being Luci because I ran a Luci parody dual that was more convincing than Luci himself :?::calli:


    (Or they were just playing along. Had a hard time telling, sometimes)

    I've thought about creating a dual named Abe Lincoln, but I'd probably give it away when I start asking if anybody knows where to get a good deal on theater tickets.

    I had a big, bleach-blonde mullet for awhile when I was 18. :yuck:

    The "voice" in Mullet Man's posts was exactly the same as apostle's. Exact same writing style most of the time.

    A really poor effort because it was obvious from the beginning that it was him.

    This is an example of why it's best to not immediately wipe all duals on detection, sometimes it's best to let someone waste hours using it to boost themselves up before taking their toy away. :D

    Not to mention his sig "Posted from Shoe's house via Tapatalk" would have quickly given him away.

    He could've worn one of them diapers, like that crazy astronaut chick.
    Ladies and gentlemen of the supposed jury, I rest my case. :bailey:

    All kidding aside, I'm always surprised by the people that can pick up writing style that easily. It always takes me forever to spot a dual (or at least match them up) and I'm wrong as often as I'm right. That said, I can see where it would be doable. I can't imagine doing a different enough writing style to throw people off.

    It takes dedication and most people don't want to waste their time cultivating a flawless dual. :lol:

    I had a repdual once.

    Never used it to rep myself, but I enjoyed giving pos rep to racist statements. Seeing "George Wallace agrees" after the posts gave me a chuckle.
