View Poll Results: Concerning them Piratecat wannabe's
For a while now I've been noticing Piratecat (the admin yes) look-a-likes. Going by the IQ displayed in their posts, profiles and name's (for example: Apocalyptic Kitty, Pyruhtkat, PirateOfTheCattibean) I'm not under the impression they're regular posters making 'prank' posts.
I for one think they're plain annoying. Now I know it's usually best to just set them to ignore and leave it at that but I was just wondering doesn't anyone else find this just... sorta.... rude?
Or does piratecat just think copycats are the highest form of flattery?

The ridicule of the name I find amusing and the posts themseves have never seemed out of line. I don't know who controls each one, but the ones I do know are good people and not meaning any harm.
Piratecat is really cool. Personally, I think we need to let the false kitties do as they will so they get lulled into a sense of complacency. Then we'll spring, and after we catch 'em we'll bbq them up. Yum! Right, Alsih2o?

Annoying? You dare address your future ruler in that way? Oh, there will be a very special place for you in the new order when the revolution comes. Statues in my honor aren't so easy to build, you know, especially when you're the one working the steel mines, hauling the ore, and erecting the statues - all without the use of anything more advanced than rudimentary tools! Bwuhahahah!

A copy of a copy is never as good as the original. Go clone yourself!

I know the identity of 2 of the 3 and they are regulars making prank posts.
Bad kitties!

Ah well, just goes to show that too much coffee and strict deadlines make Allanon a grumpy guy.
Rereading my post the IQ comment seems slightly too venomous. Sorry about that.
I'll just go to sleep know and hope my mood will be better tomorrow. :rolleyes:

Your soul is destined to be devoured by the spirits of motherless panda bears, you cannot avoid your fate!!
Mmmhmmm. Aren't you missing something -like maybe a picture that looks like PKitty? Doesn't Apocalyptic Kitty already have the menacing schtick down? Try again.

The mortal must be patient, for Photoshop does not comply with the demands of the damned.
__________________ The only thing required for good to triumph is for evil kitties to do nothing. - Demonic Kitty
Demonic Cat isn't simply a clone, but a copy of a clone.
Check this out. We all know Piratecat:
Now, here's Apocalyptic Kitty:
You'll notice that the shirt has changed to solid white, the hook has blood on it, and the cat now has a golden tooth on the upper left. Perhapse the most striking change, though, is that the kitty's one good eye is now somewhat slanted where Piratecat and Pyruhtkat have simple dots.
Now, here's Demonic Kitty:
Like Apoc Kitty, he has a solid colored shirt. Also like Apoc Kitty, the hook is bloody. Again, like Apoc Kitty, the tooth in the upper left is a different color, though now it is red and not gold. Finally, the most telling piece of evidence, the one good eye is slanted, like Apoc Kitty's.
By the evidence I have just presented, I assert that Demonic Kitty is not a Piratecat clone, but in fact a clone of Apocalyptic Kitty. Since he is a copy of a copy, he has less genetic integrity than the first generation clones. Also, because he is a second generation clone, you will notice that his evil tendencies have increased over the one he has copied. As much as I hate to say it, this means that Apocalyptic Kitty has more credibility than this miscreant.
What a shame.
