In the last few months it seems as if we have had a large amount of new players/name changers/shades. Outside of the true new players, I am interested to understand the reasons for having a shade. So far I've come up with 3 --- any other potential reasons?
1. They have ran their mouth and soiled their name to such an extent that they have to start new by changing their handle and becoming anonymous (for a while at least until they continue their normal style and are recognized).
2. They don't want to soil their 'good' name, so they create a new handle to anonymously act ridiculous. This allows them to avoid accountability with the community for their actions while using this shade account.
3. Someone changes their name temporarily, and someone else registers it intentionally to hold it over their head for entertainment value.

At first I thought you were serious...and then I clicked on the link in your post and realized that you've been hacked by a 13 old girl trapped in a 40 year old's body. :neener:

You're forgetting the shade(s) created for score purposes. Although sometimes even that doesn't help.

That's the best reason I can see for doing so; however, those aren't the ones standing out in this case. :salute

Most peoples styles and attitudes give themselves away.

I know of a few guys that have come back after an hiatus, they all have different names now.

Does any one care about reputation?

While I agree that it's easy to tell where a player is new or not and some pilots have a certain "style" but as long as they are minding their own business and having fun who cares.
If they are using a shade to talk smack or cause problems,well either kill them or report them and be done with it. If more players just played to have fun the game would be more enjoyable IMHO.
YMMV.

I have owned Pand on numerous occasions :old:

It wasn't letting me log into my other account, saying it had been cancelled. So, I just started a new account with a new name. Then it hit me, my account was cancelled because my credit card had expired and I forgot to change information :bhead. Now, I'm just too lazy to change my name back lol.
