Is it the real Brian Reynolds?

Jesus Egg that Wept · June 1, 2000, 05:00

Just wondering.

Back on alpha.owo, you knew that the real Brian was posting as he had the name Brian Reynolds FIRAXIS. All those imposters, of course, could not copy that.

However, Brian doesn't post here as Brian Reynolds BIGHUGEGAMES which I would have thought would have been the logical way to distinguish himself.

I am now wondering, is this the REAL Brian Reynolds that we have here?

MarkG · June 1, 2000, 05:58

yeah, he is the one...

and this isn't owo

How do we know it's the real one. Maybe he has conned you as well?

Care to elaborate?

MarkG,

Well, you would say that, wouldn't you?

There are rumors that you have created this double login yourself to up traffic through the BHG forum!!!!!!!!

Darkstar · June 1, 2000, 18:03

Well, maybe the IP is giving BR away. Or maybe he contacted MarkG. Maybe if you ASK MarkG, he'd tell you how he knows.

It just seems to be an article of faith. I won't believe it until I can see proof that that the real Brian Reynolds is posting here.

There are too many charlatans about these days.

Jesus Egg that Wept · June 4, 2000, 17:15

Anyway, having now exposed this scam I don't expect the imposter to post here again.

MarkG · June 4, 2000, 17:37

what scam?

Jesus Egg that Wept · June 4, 2000, 17:49

I don't believe that the REAL Brian Reynolds posts here.

My take is that it is a DL by, you Markos, the management, to imply that Reynolds post here.

The only verification I have is your assertion that it is the real one.

Would you honestly buy that?

i have antoher question: what makes you think I would do something like that? what have you seen in my actions the 2-3 months that you're here that makes you think something like that is possible?

Jesus Egg that Wept · June 5, 2000, 05:02

Markos,

Actually, I don't think you would but you are an obvious suspect (alright, an easy target).

But I still don't think this Reynolds login is real and you are the only person asserting that it is.

Bossman · June 5, 2000, 06:59

OK, easy solution...

Get Brian to post something you e-mailed to him Egg.

Jesus Egg that Wept · June 5, 2000, 07:40

How would that prove that he's the real Brian? It would just mean that I e-mailed to someone who is calling himself Brian Reynolds.

Jesus Egg that Wept · June 5, 2000, 07:41

Anyway, now we have exposed him, I doubt the imposter will post here again.

yeah, you would just mail someone with a brianreynolds@bighugegames.com e-mail address...

Jesus Egg that Wept · June 5, 2000, 08:13

Just my point. How do I know that it is THE real Brian Reynolds.

MarkG · June 5, 2000, 08:20

now that you say it...
how do we really know that www.bighugegames.com is really the official site of the BHG? I think it's a scam!

Jesus Egg that Wept · June 5, 2000, 08:30

So you agree.

I thought you'd see reason. I suspect it is one of the jokers from the Off-Topic that set up this DL for a joke. Can you do an IP match and ban the offender?

Jeffrey Morris FIRAXIS · June 5, 2000, 19:06

I can assure you Brian knows about this forum.

wow, that's something I never expected!

Now THAT must be the real Jeff Morris, do you think that Brian Reynolds is his double login?

This gets more and more confusing.......

MarkG · June 6, 2000, 03:52

actually, it has goten boring after that last post of yours....

Jeff, any news from the civ3 front?

KarstenWilli · June 6, 2000, 04:06

I'm Brian and so's my wife.

Jesus Egg that Wept · June 6, 2000, 04:38

It's not a matter of being boring, it's a matter of truth.

This site has a policy against double logins. I am convinced that this Brian Reynolds login is false and, thus, in all likelihood, a double login.
