This thread is counter-productive because it tells players what not to do. Anyways, I personally never really hide either.
I'll add for dktorode the common "baah" (variable amounts of 'a's there) and the "talk to the hand" smiley (which I curiously can't find right now).
That and the ol' bag'o'dicks, but he didn't whip it out in some time.
Bubba often posts pics, Yellow swears a lot and Acehunter uses bizarre smileys that the board doesn't recognize.

On Mondays evenings, you can pretty much guarantee that M45 will make a comment about going off to watch Chuck/Heroes/24 at some point.
I used to be able to pick out Baudin fairly consistently, but I can't remember how...
When Gem isn't trying to blend in, she tends to get very argumentative/aggressive over quite small things.
That's all I can think of at the moment.

I say "somesuch" too much I generally find. I also used to do a lot of line spaces, and use the smiley compulsively.
But then, it's usually not the tells which give me away so much...
Ment seems to be allergic to capitalisation.
Silencer uses <.< a lot.

Pffft i am a master of disguise with no tells...

Another one that just got jogged to the forefront of my memory: I can usually spot Gavin based on the combination of his Antipodean timezone and his infrequent but usually contentful posts.

Venge suddenly got very easy to alt after Morgy made the comment that he's a dirty boy Normally he's whoever said something off colour during RP.

If everyone on this site was using an alt, Grief, I could still pick you out in a few minutes...
Unfortunatly, I don't know how...
I'm usually one of the highest posters, I try to hide myself using accents or oddities, I too use the , I nearly always get locked in arguments with one person...

Post count is an iffy one to use, ive been top of post count a few times but recently and in my first game i was very close to the bottom. It changes on crcumstance. I can usually tell Grief if he basically tells people who he is and Ment when he mention ukraine but thats about it. I seem to skim over spelling mistakes (as im very bad with them myself) or id probably notice Dkt

I can usually tell Impirion by his writing style - which I guess is an extension of knowing his general speech patterns. Helps that I tend to have a good idea of when he posts as well, given that he lives 2 doors down.

Baudin used to mention Tae kwon do a lot
venge loves his triple dots, and he has no idea of what proper grammar is.
STD's usually too polite
Grief quintuple-posts
yellow swears a lot and shares his RL too much. Also, he has no internet at work, so he always says when he posts before work.

Worse things could be said about me... and Morgy likes to present it one way, but it goes both ways and it makes him damned nervous

Well I haven't played enough games to work out who is who...except dkt. I did try to hide, but there's usually too much going on in my head, and if I try to hide I think my posts read forced. I did avoid the...for a while, but ended up using - instead...then ~ so then I thought 'oh what's the point?'
I also try to be *ahem* down with the errm kids(?) and use the abbreviations and expressions, but really for a woman my age it looks a bit stupid ...and I generally use a lot of smileys. I also generally use proper grammar, spelling and spacing...apart from...
And the words;
just
actually
generally
obviously
clearly...you know all the ones that make me sound pompous and verbose, the ones all the advice on writing tells you to avoid like the plague!

'Tell me, Tool, what dominates your thoughts?'
The Imass shrugged before replying. 'I think of Mafia, Adjunct.'
'Do all Imass think about Mafia?'
'No. Few think at all.'
'Why is that?'
The Imass leaned his head to one side and regarded her. 'Because, Adjunct, they are sheeple.'
Sometimes I wonder, "Why is that frisbee getting bigger?" ... and then it hits me.

bwgan, it is quite easy to spot you, I must say. You apologize alot and you use words like 'poorly'.
Not sure if anyone managed to alt guess me in the latest game, does anyone know?
It was eerie how easy it was to spot JA - at the same time the qualities that make him easy to spot on occasion also makes him an excellent player.

It's always easy to spot me, just wait a couple days until ST tries to compare me to someone from a previous game and starts comparing writing styles and such. He'll get it wrong, because it'll be me. Guaranteed.

It isn't my fault that the rest of you lots don't engage the demented sides of your imaginations when posting.... And I am off color when posting...er...YEAH...
Also me and grammer have a very good relationship. He stays the hell away from me and I don't acknowledge his existence....
How many fucking people do I have to hammer in order to get that across.
