...anyone ever had a problem with it?
I always use minor German celebrities which I�m pretty certain no one of our special friends knows.
It is not risky, is it, using "her" here as avatar, too?
I have been found by lads twice, it was always because I forgot once to mask my character�s name. it has never been occurred because a love lad/other scammer recognized my pic here.
Has this ever happened to you?

no - "Mathias" is a very common biblical name so no problems at all.

I don't think an Elf Beastmaster would be a credible maga...

Mine tends to scare the lads.

Getting the right passport photo is always my problem Laughing

Jen is absolutely my favourite baiting character. The only problem is, I can't pretend to be female on the phone...

@Weasel, you should send them your pirate weasel for ID purposes Very Happy

@mathias, an empty trunk box certainly is more scaring than the great big U.B.
@Yastreb, that gives me an idea: On eof my next mass insulter pics pic is going to be Tex Avery�s "Little Rural Riding Hood" again, I�m curious as to the replies when she mass insults the boys!

No - by "avatar" I meant "picture".
Has your lad ever recognized you when he was strolling on Eater?

(I just included <= Barbara Schoeneberger on another mass insult. Next one is going to be Verona Pooth, then Ralph Morgenstern, then Dieter Bohlen - they deserve return insults Very Happy

!)

I simply don�t want one lad to recognize her here, id est, me here.
Has this ever happened to you?
(assuming the answer "No" to almost 100%. I might be panicked because of good old Ahmed and good old Joeyboy...)

Well as my avatar is a shadow I'll give some thought to becoming "evil dark shadow" or something like that and see if they notice. I bet I could send it to the vlads and they would never even notice.

Doesn't it breach the ITP rule? Unless you are a weasel of course.

I would never put my avvy in jeopardy as she is far to precious and her husband would kill me if he found out. Very Happy

Incoherent drunks do not take this business seriously.

Err, I haven't really tried... Laughing

I usually bait as Pat Bateman, the psychotic lead character from American Psycho, and yes I've often used his photos in baits as he wears sharp business suits which fit in with the whole business image. Once I sent a picture of "myself" wielding a blood flecked axe, but my lad thought nothing of it.
I've also succesfully romance baited as BBC newsreader Huw Edwards.

I try to pick images that are natural looking, (taken at parties or "Off duty" etc) so as long as you do that then I think the risk of being found out are slim.

That is the scariest thing I've read so far today Shocked

and I don't think I want any lunch now. Very Happy

Baited AS Huw Edwards. AS.

When I baited him direct last year he was most nonplussed. I won't do that again, at least while the court order is still in force.

Posted: Tue May 06, 2008 11:01 am

No, no problems at all.

I mean, I'm almost speaking their kind of language to begin with. The fur is just a nice detail.

I have been using Barbara Schoeneberger for quite some time now. No lad has found her yet, neither Yvonne Catterfeld. Once the former did an advertisement on the mail.yahoo.de starting page though, which made me think, damn, one lad could recognize her.
So a thing like that has never happened to you then? Good to know about that. Thanks.

(So she can go on insulting lotto people...)

Yes, one of my longest baits was as Ushas the Intellegent Horse who was stuck in a secret government research facility. I also used the same charachter in a romance bait and I kept telling "her" that "I love you, but things would never work out between us."

"She" assured me that she would love me no matter how I looked but stopped writing when I sent "her" a picture. Guess she didn't love me after all.

My avatar is a face I made on Morphases which looks half 'me' and half 'what I wish I looked like.' I give it to my lads and they're happy with it, so full steam ahead.

Posted: Tue May 06, 2008 4:54 pm

I have never used my avatar. Used my avatar name in numerous occasions.
Never had a chance to do a Dance bait.
So I guess I will not be able to get my avatar in use.

Ummmm....., no.

Somehow I don't think even the lads would believe that a mythical bird with blue feathers would be responding to their scam. It might be fun to try though.

^^^^ You could always tell them that you are tapping the keyboard with your beak. Of course flying down to the Western Union might be a problem but if your mugu could just see their way clear to sending you their bank account details (for Alan)...

Royalty does not associate with commoners.

Posted: Tue May 06, 2008 8:31 pm

I haven't any clue how I would bait as evil Grover Laughing

.

Evil Bert though, that's an idea Twisted Evil

Posted: Tue May 06, 2008 9:08 pm

I expect that lads would twig at the sight of brandished pistols.
