Would you believe in the last week or so we actually had someone ask to join the guild, claiming to be Bolty?I do apologize for this incident, I assumed incorrectly that anyone notices that my name has two Y's, and thus would realize that "Boltyy" was not, in fact, Bolty.
I also assumed that it would be obvious that Bolty would never stoop to my absurd (in jest) behavior. Bolty would never yell on the Lurker channel: "[Boltyy] That is an imposter, I am the REAL Bolty!" instead of whispering Tal "This is Bolty. Could you get rid of that loser and let me in?"?
Lastly, it was a dumb stunt, and one I have pulled before on bnet in the (now perpetually empty?) Lurker/DSF channels. I should have realized that no one in the guild ever spent a great deal of time in those channels, at least not at the same time I did. (Psst, what happened to Joram, Tal0n, Skywing, Hocus, et al?)
I apologize, again, to anyone who is offended or confused by redundant y's.
