It's time to reveal the truth! I am not really what I appear... this is SO difficult... I am really Van's mistress. It's all been a big charade. I feel so guilty. "Van" is just a persona loosely based on my flatulent-yet-affable dog, who doesn't know a computer from a toaster oven. (What? You thought mistress as in sex? Sorry, no.) It's me who was addicted to Diablo, not him. All the "real" Van does is drool on the keyboard sometimes. It wasn't hard to write all that stuff about witches' costume malfunctions in Hell-- which reminds me, Barngrille was me too and is loosely based on my hamster. And now you know why Mary Kay had an easy time with rouge.
(And by the way, Luke-- Pete is my father, and he isn't just a curmudgeon online, but is that way in life BION!)
I don't know if you're ready for the real "shocker" (heh) tho: Bolty. Yep. Me. But not the same way Van is. You see, Bolty is the "next generation" of Landroo. I'd spell Landroo properly but I think he's still out there, parsing, parsing, parsing. Anyhoo, Bolty was my improved version of the bot, capable of producing and maintaining a website, and on occasion making a post that looked like it was really written by a human being. Remember when we had an almost-profile pic of Bolty getting the first crack at a new game? Couldn't quite see my face, eh? There was a reason for that. It's not too difficult to dress like a guy, tho I was afraid I'd cut my hair too short and would give myself away.
Anyway, it's nice to get that off my chest, and now that I've come clean I feel freer to discuss important things like how our personal relationships make us feel and how to help us all get the emotional validation that we as real people crave and deserve, and feel wonderful that I no longer have to disguise myself with macho and/or adolescent posts.
Once again, I am sooooo sorry, I luv you all and it hurts me to know that I've deceived you all for so long. Well, my euchre group is ready and so I've got to go.
