R.I.P. DeathPimp. Never Ending Respect.

I see it's all the rage these days. Can someone explain to me why it's so awesome to have two accounts on Bungie.net?

What doesn't kill you, only makes you stranger

To talk to themselves
To Troll on another account

Because people like having fun but they don't want to suffer the consequences on their main.

Why do people in ship mutinies always ask for "better treatment"? I'd ask for a pinball machine, because with all that rocking back and forth, you'd get a lot of free games.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

I guess you could test things with it. An example is automatic replies when they first came out.

Any other reasons are negative.

I don't see the point either.
Hence I only have one account.

Case and point: don't worry about it. Girls start getting boobies pretty soon, and then you'll have plenty of other things to think about. Being an Inheritor is not a life goal.

Why be active on two accounts, then?

Avoiding ban, which i learned dosen't work. I was banned forever but was reduced to a month and a half on appeal.

I'm active on three different accounts.

None of them usually receive bans. In fact, this one (which I consider my main since it is linked with my gamertag) gets banned a lot more prominently than my others. The funny thing is that I usually find myself not getting on Bnet if one of them is banned for any reason.

I like having three different identities. It's fun!

I'm just too famous. Sometimes I like to be able to post in a thread without being recognised. I'm entitled to have a private life!

This. The only other reason can think of would be for safety precautions. If something was to ever happen to your account, you could have a backup ready at any given moment.

Also, what I'm about to say isn't intended to be an insult to the guy in any way, but OP ask Raaascal. He seems to have some experience with multiple accounts.

The beta is super awesome. RogueAssassin27 is now the person who got my Totodile's nickname. Hoo-hah! Relevant.inb4lock

I have one, but I never really used it. At all. Plus my GOGOGO!!! and T4R makes it too obvious who I am.

“Strange,” mused the Director, as they turned away, “strange to think that even in Our Ford’s day most games were played without more apparatus than a ball or two and a few sticks and perhaps a bit of netting. imagine the folly of allowing people to play elaborate games which do nothing whatever to increase consumption.”

The Black Chapter!

Because I just have too much love to give for just one account.

Not that I have a second account. But if I did, that would be the reason.

Well, here we are. I guess that it was destined to come to this.

No one else is going to kiss my butt, so I create an army of fake (but adoring) minions.

Have you seen my mind anywhere? I seem to have lost it...

I have seen you future

You could make an entire group comprised entirely of yourself.

Just imagine all of the fascinating conversations.
