I step down.

[MasterJedi]

Damn.

Damn, Damn, Damn. I hate sock posters. I especially hate sock posters who ply their wares in Atlasia.

From what I hear now Dave agreed to it because nobody took Josh seriously. Then he did this, turning himself into even more of a joke unfortunatly.

[JerryBrown2010]

I will not join the senate, I hereby step down and wish you guys luck on everything.

Goodbye, Dan a.k.a. Josh22

Didn't expect that!

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Dave knew?

Yes that what Dan told me at least. He said he was tired of being harassed by DWTL and BRTD and Dave appearently approved the creation of this sock. The reason why he suddenly left the RPP to join the DA, when he joined, was he realised that DWTL was our leader.

Nothing was every posted in the Mod thread saying such, even though there is a post questioning devilman88's identity from March 30 from Masterjedi and a post from Alcon that it traces to NC.  I read the post, but unfortunately I just skimmed it and didn't put together the 2+2 = 4.  

My mind has been on other things the last couple of months, so I should have been more in tune with this person's postings.

Nevertheless, I am registering a complaint that some of us, at least, were not notified about this.

[Marokai Backbeat]

May faith in the mods has never been lower.

Also, I'm a bit hurt, because I trusted "Dan" alot.

[Brandon H]

Since this is a regional senate seat, doesn't the governor get to appoint the replacement, or has that been changed?

[MasterJedi]

Why the hell are you mad at us? Dave let him have the account and didn't tell us. And what if we did find it out? If Dave even told us I'm almost positive we wouldn't be able to tell anyone about it.

[Franzl]

Kind of funny that it makes so much sense after you're told about it.

The language and spelling problems should have sounded an alarm....

I am more disappointed with Dave for allowing this.

How long did you know about it, MJ?

We need to make sure josh22 is not lying first, which is quite possible given his history.

I've already posted my comment on the mod board.

Someone told me about it after Josh posted this. So like since around 1:30 or so.

I did not know anything about this.

[Franzl]

Out of curiosity...why didn't Josh just remain "Dan" and accept his Senate seat?

I did. Questions of his authenticity posted, traced posts going to North Carolina, blah blah. My complaints are mainly the fact that I and others have bitched to you people to do IP checks and kick in gear with authenticity checks on a great number of posters, and all I and many others have gotten is a depressing silence in response. I'm not at all surprised that we have another sockpuppet slip by us. Heaven knows how many others are amongst us.

[Purple State]

Likely because he wanted to show off how he "stuck it to us." Silly, of course, but what can you do? He ultimately spent more time trying to fool us than we will ever spend caring about this.

     Given his story that he created a new account to avoid getting teased, it seems bizarre that he would come out & admit his identity upon getting elected to Senate.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

He told me he was having a hard time keeping it to himself. Chalk this one up as another Mark Sanford style revelation. He didn't have to say anything.

In MJ's thread, Bacon King said the IP check came from High Point, NC on March 30.

Alcon then said:

You must be logged in to read this quote.

I didn't give it a second thought, unfortunately, but I really haven't been reading the forum heavily over the past few months.  Also, I am not the most skilled person in tracking IPs.

So, we did certainly check the IP, but when Alcon said that, I'm guessing that no one went further.

I would like answers from Alcon and Dave on this matter.

[Purple State]

I believe I had asked MJ to check the IP when he first joined, as I suspected he may have been an Ogis or Xahar puppet. I never received a response or confirmation so I assumed he was fine.
