Ok so a number of people have asked why admins (and me in particular) keep changing my "in game" name to something other than Raven.

A lot of players make a mental note of admins and admin names and watch for them connecting to the server. They act "good as gold" and all innocent (adhering to the rules etc etc) when admins are about.

Admins should change their names on a pretty regular basis and make sure you use some "fun" characters as well. I've personally been mistaken as 4 or 5 different admins from time to time and some people reckon all 5 alter egos are different people.

Also sometimes it's good to just change your name to something strange. Hit record and just play for an hour or so. It's quite enlightening what some "good" players and admins alike actually get up to when they don't think admin or other admin are on.

Also a word of advice to admins changing their "in game" names........remember your "steam friends" name too ;)

Now here's a word of warning to any "sneaky" players who keep a list of admins Steam ID's handy and check from time to time in case an admin is on. Some of us have more than one Steam ID. I use my second account to keep an eye on "Guest Admins" to make sure they're obeying the rules and such. Its great having a non-admin account because ma_admins and status doesn't give the game away.

Also, because it's a different Steam ID it's not like you show up on Steam Friends LOL

So i suppose what this really means is. BE AFRAID BIG BROTHER MIGHT JUST BE WATCHING YOU Muahahahahaha

ha ha ha ha!!!! I have been doing exactly that since I got my first admin slot on 108.4!! Although when I was a recruit for [PHXX], and wore the ever so coveted [PHXX-r] tag, I was not allowed to change it....and man it made for some fun!! It was like a brand new pair of Fruit of the Loom tighty-whities!!!

You must also remember that fear is a great tool of a leader. For where there is fear, there is inspiration to surpass what they're afraid of.

One of the best admin names I've seen so far was "crap your banned" hahahahaha.
