So, the user known as Zweihander has been banned for opening a sockpuppet account (RPGPundit2), which he used to post links to a website that exposed my name and other personal information about me.
This website also uses my name and the RPGpundit name in the website url.

The guy who created this website, who I'm now assuming to be Zweihander because no one else but the author would give a shit to post this stuff, has been harassing me with it on my blog under a fake name for months now, ever since Trump won the election.


This is pretty much appalling behavior for someone who pretends to be a "game designer".  Of course, his history of aggressively shilling his game including with misleading links shows that this is a recurring theme for Zweihander as a human being.

I hope everyone in the hobby finds out about this piece of shit and what he considers appropriate behavior for a designer.

Note: absolutely anyone who provides URLS to the links Zweihander created here will be banned, because it is essentially identical to doxxing me. This is everyone's only warning, as it is assumed anyone who provides such links is acting in EXTREME bad faith.

1) Wow. That's shitty.

2) Wow. That's weird, creepy, doxxy and stalker-y.

3) How do you know Zweihander is the dude behind the sockpuppet? I've always been confused how that is discovered. Is it traced by IP address?

In fairness I completely agree with Spinachcat.  I too would like to know how you figure out it was him.

Most of all why in fuck would he even do such a thing?  Oh I believe you Pundit, but the sheer stupidity of his actions is just staggering to me.  He literally destroyed himself and for what?  I mean...  Why???

No insult intended Pundit.  Your good and I mean really good.  Your just not "I will sacrifice my career and reputation" good.

Can't speak for the mods here, but in general, all forums log your IP address. So, even on a network where you can renew your lease to get a different DHCP assigned IP address, your subnet (your internet "neighborhood") stays the same. There are other ways such as hardware MAC addresses (override-able in Linux) or things like, if you logout of account A and login to account B, and the forum sees leftover cookies from account A, it might log that.

99% of the time though, it is the same IP address used back to back or simultaneously for two different accounts.

1. The person who had originally created the attack-sites that "rpgpundit2" linked to, and who has been trolling me on my blog for months now self-identified as "Daniel". I hadn't made the connection, because at no point did he associate himself with Zweihander, and I didn't care enough about Zweihander to remember his name. But Zweihander's name is Daniel Fox.

And no one but him would bother to post to his stupid sites.

2. The "RPGPundit2" account was made with the same IP as Zweihander, and using the same email name.


He didn't even try to hide what he was doing, or he was so monumentally stupid as to not realize how obvious it would be because Admins can see IP addresses and the emails users sign up with.

He has since emailed me, feigning ignorance and trying to pretend that this is some kind of a mix-up, which is nonsensical. If "daniel" had been anyone other than him, and had been out to try to ruin Zweihander's reputation, I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have laid in wait for nearly 6 months trolling my blog ceaselessly and making attack sites trying to doxx me, without even ONCE mentioning Zweihander.   And you'd think "RPGPundit2" would have identified himself as Zweihander, if this was some kind of a frame job.

So no, Zweihander (and I bet you're reading this because you've already shown your mentally ill obsession with me), no one is going to believe your bullshit.  You were a moron and have now been caught dead to right as a months-long troll who engaged in doxxing and hideous behaviour. And I'm going to make sure everyone knows it.

You know some times people make me wonder I mean it's not that hard to follow the rules of a forum folks.
Especially when I consider that the mods on this site are very good for WARNING YOU that you are breaking the rules and giving ample time for you to responding appropriately.

At least we will be spared his CONSTANT shilling.

Wow.  That's stupid, and weird, and creepy, and assholish, and also just plain bizarre.

After watching a publisher send out staff and fans to spy on people and infiltrate groups. Not much surprises me anymore.

Pundit.

You might want to head over to BGG/RPGG at the following and/or contact the admin and let them know what this person did.

Kinda weird, that theres no activity at all? Theres hardly any mention either. You'd think hed have been shilling the game there far more than here?
