> [@Cypherous](#): > > post with your main _Ah yes, the old “post on your main” trope — truly the pinnacle of EVE forum debate. Shall I compare thee to a logic fallacy? Forsooth, if authorship defines authority, then I suppose Shakespeare must’ve been the Earl of Oxford too, eh?_ But worry not, friend. Whether main or alt, I wield words sharper than a suicide Talos on caffeine. Now, back to the discussion — if thou dare. 😉 * * * ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/f/6/d/f6d3eb36c24ec1ac8c399c996c7df03faf45af60.jpeg) * * * ---

> [@Swing\_Vote1](#): > > if thou dare. Its not a trope though, if you actually genuinely believed in your stance you wouldn’t hide behind a 21 day old alt 🙂 So get back to me when you’re actually willing to have a debate about it without hiding 🙂 ---

> [@Cypherous](#): > > without hiding Ah yes, the sacred rite of internet debate: show thy main or be forever banished to the land of invalid opinions. Look, I _would_ post on my main, but he tragically perished in a lab accident involving triglavian tech, three cans of Quafe Zero, and a miscalculated filamental jump. His last words were: “Tell them… tell them I stood by my stance… even on an alt.” So here I am. 🫡 * * * ![Cypherous](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/2/2/6/22655a08345fcdd1b51446f4c8214d89977ac439.jpeg) * * * ---

> [@Cypherous](#): > > repercussions of your actions Cute, but transparent. Trying to dox someone’s main to win a forum argument isn’t a flex — it’s desperation. I’m not here to win popularity contests, I’m here to challenge stale narratives and push for a better game. If my arguments hit hard enough that you feel the need to go character hunting instead of addressing the points, that’s not my weakness — that’s your tell. This forum isn’t about killboard clout. It’s about ideas. If you can’t out-argue an alt, maybe it’s time to re-evaluate your position, not stalk someone’s mains. ---

Aallin is my main and unlike you. If someone really, really wants to hunt me down for s\*\*\*s and giggles. Then I guess that will happen. Someone in a game that wants to track my main down to try and blow me out of the sky for something that I posted on the forums. Not only is that hilarious. But just maybe we both would have a little fun at the same time. Win, lose, or draw it might even liven up the day. So if you are worried that someone might track your main down and come hunting. That says a lot more about you. Than it would about me or anyone else that posts here on the forums under our main toons. ---
