Still curious as to the trigger leading to the OP in the first place, too.
...I don't think it's as dramatic as Spatial is putting it. Probably just a "light bulb" moment that just came up?
You weren't on SC2, but were on SC1 and SC3. There were several fake accounts that were created on SC3, including fake spatial, fake inquirer, fake sensitivesoul, fake daniel birdick, and fake edvard accounts. Had the originals not showed up, they couldve continued the play. If the original BT is not here, then the fake one can continued with nobody to oppose them and nobody to verify their authenticity.
What evidence is there really that youre the original buttered toast? For that matter, maybe youre not Inquirer, but I certainly have no proof that you're not.
The same thing could be said about nearly anyone here, even the doxxed to some degree (they'd have the best information available to imitate), so it really goes nowhere. The testimony to my authenticity comes from three diverse sources: two of which are historically disagreeable with one another (other than my identity), and one unrelated source, as well. There are probably several others that could verify my voice as well, from various incarnations of SC on Discord and other servers. In this day and age, of course, you may escape with "but it could all be done with AI" trapdoor at any point and potentially be right.
The only point to all this could be some statement on anonymity and the puerility of making any assertions for accomplishments, identity and prestige without doxxing yourself. In those terms, you will have to lean more heavily on testimony, while *Tony* has the "benefit" of being doxxed. (But, as I said, any of this could be faked by someone willing to put in some minimum effort, regardless.)
...Oh, I should add, formally, that I am *not* Inquirer, nor have I ever been.
