  1. I am using this account for everything, but I had almost one thousand accounts once for Ingress spoofing back when Ingress was a thing

    We had Ingress clients based on node.js and basically simulated human farming behavior. An account would sleep, work and play according to a schedule with jitter. It would look at the map, plan an expedition using Google maps travel API using walk, bike or public transportation, and then execute the plan with coffee and potty breaks and time and space jitter.

    It would farm and recharge portals. It would transfer the loot to human accounts, which could distribute it to the team or friends. Deep pockets of equipment without the grind.

    Because of the urge based human simulation plus the urge based play on top of that and the jitter in space and time, none of these were ever banned. They were to real Player like to stand out.

  2. I have separate accounts so that if one gets hacked, they aren’t all hacked. I’ve got different names for some, but the same for others. It really depends on whether I am concerned about being stalked, or not. On FB, since a lot of RL people have me in their networks, I use a pseudonym, because there are RL people I never want to see again, and people from my past that wanted romantic involvement with me that couldn’t take a hint.

    Many of those people know my RL name (given they were either school mates, or co-workers), so I am reluctant to use anything close to my RL name on that network.

    I’ve actually had to deal with romantic stalkers at the workplace, so I’d just rather not, anyplace I don’t have to.
