GellyRoll and I

I know if you look up my name in the stats list, it will say that GellyRoll is simply an ailas of mine.

This is not true. Anyone who was playing with me on TV1 on the night of Feb 3 (Hoaxie, you were there, right?) saw us play together at the same time. GellyRoll and me even use different HL CD keys. The problem is that we sometimes play on the same computer and forget to change our names before we get online. I'll try to avoid this in the future, and I'll tell Gelly to make sure and change her name BEFORE she connects, becuase I don't want her playing as Usually Dead.

Ah, the pains of sharing a computer with your sister....

That's it. Does this kind of thing happen to anyone else?

It keeps the Stats by WONid. If Gelly plays on MPI's computer it probably says Gelly is an alias for MPI too. I think the only way for Gelly to appear as a seperate person is for her to have her own WONid. It's pretty simple to switch between them. I can help MPI create a reg file that will do it for you.

That's not so much the problem. You see, MPI, GellyRoll and I all have our own WONids. We all play off seperate CD keys. Whenever Gelly logs in to my or MPI's computer, the CD key in the registry is changed by a login script. I was just embarassed how I got on a Ville server a while ago with GellyRoll's name, USV tags and all.

Just didn't want any lingering suspicsions that I was trying to impersonate my sister as a member of USV. I respect USV. I wouldn't want to rip them off like that.

Thanks, Usually Dead. No worries though. From what I know of MPI, you come from a good family. I wouldn't think you would do that. BTW, it was great fun playing with you last night.
