10: I'm sure everyone has noticed the name problem with this app. This can only become more confusing as time goes on. I have a proposed solution: We all select a number, or some other identifier to sign our posts with. It's only important to not share the same identifier that someone with your username also has. I have picked 10 for mine. While we couldn't select a username here, there is nothing stopping us from making our own despite this app's limitations.

Guys, what do you think? Will this work?

10: It's cutting down on confusion. It's only meant to make this app a bit more functional.

[truthkills]

it's a randomly appearing chat app with no real purpose

what makes you think functional was ever a part of the package deal?

[kouteipenguin]

10: I don't think that. I think we can't get rid of it. So we have to deal with it.

[truthkills]

think of it like a digital masquerade party

no fun if you start taking off the masks

[kouteipenguin]

10: It's more fun for me to have an idea of who I'm talking to.
10: Well I should say it this way. I don't need to know who they are but I want to distinguish people.

[truthkills]

i rely on nothing more than the force of my scintillating personality to distinguish me

[kouteipenguin]

10: It's just text. There's only so much you can do through text.

[truthkills]

i could tell you the same thing pretty much

[kouteipenguin]

10: And I'd tell you there's a reason everywhere else on the internet needs you to have usernames that aren't the same as someone else's.
10: If you don't like it, then don't do it. But I'm going to do this.

[truthkills]

enjoy wasting precious milliseconds of your life with extra numbers

meanwhile i'll be out [INFORMATION LOCKED]

[kouteipenguin]

10: Out wasting precious milliseconds of your life to write something I won't even see?

[blackdogdown]

Oh grow up. Its more work yeah, but I think its not a half bad idea.

2/2

[blackdogdown]

Wait uh, put a 5 on that. In front of it?

[truthkills]

there is absolutely no way to enforce that

it's a losing battle

[blackdogdown]

5: Even if like, only a few people did it, still sorta helpful. Knowing who someone is, that's important.

[truthkills]

it is very important

which is why I'm just fine obscuring my identity kthnx

[blackdogdown]

It's a good thing you talk so different from T&C Baal then.


He's already given up on the numbers thing.

[truthkills]

Actually, if I really wanted to, I could simply put a little more effort into my punctuation and syntax and pass for them flawlessly.

Seriously, I think I may have given them an aneurysm with that realization earlier.

so what i'm saying is that this little ID system is going to rely on the honor system and that don't fly around these parts

[kouteipenguin]

10: You don't have to be a jerk about this.

[truthkills]

oh, just because i'm pointing out obvious flaws in the system with solid examples i'm a jerk

[kouteipenguin]

10: I never said this was perfect, but it's better than nothing!

[blackdogdown]

Oh?

Hey, buddy? Are you the one who made them throw their phone out the window?

Because then he has some choice words for this guy. Like, "Thank you that made my day" and "What did you even say."

[truthkills]

considering that they stopped responding after a bit yeah probably

[blackdogdown]

You gotta tell me your secret sometime.
