We were also discussing creating something like personas all within the same profile, where you don't have to create alts (unless you want to) to show yourself differently to your different friend groups.

a per tribe profile might be nice.

An internal alt farm is frankly a very good idea in my opinion, because it gives people the ability to be anonymous in creative
ways, and people are more likely to see their account as an investment rather than as a short term betting option.

If you take the time and energy to set up five alts on one account, having your account cut for misbehavin is suddenly that much more
annoying.

Back when i was on Bnet i became infamous as the famous alt guy. I haven't used them since and the only reason i really used them on bnet is that i am unique in that i can claim with a straight face to be christian, atheist, jewish, mormon, essene, gnostic, pagan, wiccan,
buddhist, taoist, and etc. All at the same time. Most people can't conceive of a conceptual universe large enough to be a real BIG TENT,
and so they think its a choice between them and that you have to only pick one. Trying to have a conversation with a christian if they figure your a pagan cuz it sez so in your profile puts you at a pretty large disadvantage, they will just assume your satan and discount anything you say from the word go. Similarly, my christian alt isn't going to be popular in the wicca room.

And don;t even get me started for how they treat my inner atheist.

The point being, different aspects of personality sometimes demand their own presentation, and sometimes the whole picture is just too
hard for most people to grasp; esp if they are only really interested in the side of you that reflects their interest.

I think that the idea of levels of friendship is a great idea, thanks for bringing it up.
