    I note that we now have "Sokar's ghost". In addtion "not Dayton" seems to have survived ages now.

    Do the mods now condone dual accounts if they like them and/or the person behind them?

    Dual accounts have always existed at the Administrators whim. Sometimes one that is dull may last longer because the person behind it made a point of asking not to be revealed, but even then we don't promise anything.

    Usually, it needs to be entertaining in some way to live very long.

    Does Castle intend to adopt the dual's name permanently?

    Not that I know of. I'm asking what dual you think Castle is using.

    I don't know. But the implication elsewhere is that it's Sokar's Ghost.

    As far as I know it's not Castle. My first suspect would be the board's resident ghost hunter, actually.

    Hmm, not sure BD is intelligent or creative enough to pull off a dual successfully. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

    To be fair, this dual has shown neither intelligence nor creativity.

    Which means he's pretty much dead on for Sokar. Got to give him points for accuracy.

    Sokars Ghost is in poor taste, but some of his posts have been bang on the money and were pretty funny.

    Making him perfect for the role of dead Sokar, as the original had neither.

    To the duel: A little goes a long way. The thing that ruined skinofevil was that "he" became so prolific that pretty soon it got tiresome and fell apart. Try not to run this one into the ground on the first week. :bergman:

    I agree. NotDayton understands moderation...which is how we can tell he's not Dayton.

    I found El Chup's Toilet Duck dual amusing and would have no problem bringing it back.

    Duals and how they are treated were part of WF's original rule set. Hasn't changed since :shrug:

    It's not me; it never was. I take a dim view of necro puppet duals.
