Twitter Trouble!

Doppelgänger This post has nothing to with roleplaying games, but with something happening on Twitter right now. Please don’t stop reading, because I need your help!

Some hours ago some person started tweeting to @daneofwar’s Followers (and people he followed) and accused him of scamming money from him. I doubt there’s any truth to that accusation, especially because this person soon started impersonating people @daneofwar was connected with through Twitter. He also started posting personal attacks against not only @daneofwar but also other people as well, like @highmoon, @madbrewlabs and me.

The community is usually pretty quick in reporting the fake accounts as soon as they appear and Twitter promptly closes them, but there must be some way to stop this person posting slander and misinformation all over Twitter. If you know someone who can help or get in touch with the people from Twitter, please do so!

Any help is highly appreciated!

P.S.: I protected my Twitter updates for now and changed my avatar picture. That will not stop the person impersonating me, but it helps me to feel a bit better. If you get any strange tweets that look like they were sent from my account, please double-check the username.

Inspired by what Berin Kinsman wrote some hours ago on Facebook, I added the WP Likes 2.0 plugin to my blog. It allows readers to “like” posts on the fly if they find them interesting.

I’ve also added a “Top Liked Posts” widget on the sidebar on the right. I hope you like the new feature!

Bye, bye, Odiogo!

Some of you may have noticed that I removed the Odiogo plugin from my blog. It added those buttons that allowed you to listen to an audio version of the post read by a computer-generated voice. But alas this plugin caused some issues, so I disabled it. The main problem was that it interfered with Windows Life Writer which I intended to use to write and edit posts in the future. If you are interested to learn more about Writer, check out my post at Stargazer’s Tech Blog.

I hope some self-advertisement is in order, because today I want you to tell you about my brand new  and shiny blog Stargazer’s Tech Blog. Ok, the name is not very creative but you probably know already what it’s about. Some of you probably already know that I am not only an avid roleplayer but also a total tech geek. I love all kinds of electronic gadgets, I always browse the internet to find the newest and coolest software and I just have to try out every new web service.

But alas Stargazer’s World is not the right place to write about those things, so I just created a new blog. Instead of hosting it myself I decided to use Wordpress.com. That has several reasons: a) I just don’t know how the blog will turn out and b) I wanted to try out the latest features there. But don’t fear, my friends, my focus is still on Stargazer’s World, I just need a place to write about some of my other interests.

What if Ghostbusters was made in the 1950s?

Ok, this is another post that has nothing to do with roleplaying games. But this video was just too great not to post here. Enjoy!

Now, someone should make another Ghostbusters RPG already! :)

E.T.A.

I stumbled upon this video today while checking one of my favorite non-RPG blogs and it’s just too cool not to share with you guys.

And damn, I need that coffee machine. ;)
