Is there some (free) software out there, where you can give it some forum posts and it will analyze the style/syntax/vocabulary and indicate whether the posts come from the same person?  |

Re: Dominions 3 no longer available from Shrapnel?
There is such software. But Im not aware of any free ones.
Some crappy simple ones are scripts using wc, sort, uniq. They compare what words are used, how often, and the letter count on uncapitalized words. Not good enough for a conviction but good enough for a "who to watch" list.
Reminds me of one of the songs in the Dom3 Parodies thread joking about the possibility that some of the people in the games or posting here are actually devs or staff or infamous people from our past....

Was Norfleet a Developer? I just know he wasn't an honest player and had the game cracked.

Re: Dominions 3 no longer available from Shrapnel?
No not a developer.
Just a regular player according to history. But like many historical figures he has now achieved a mythological status. He appears in province names, and in dominions songs.
It is also rumored that he can still appear in games under an alias but of course thats not really likely.

Well looking at the style of writing, and the type of reactions it elicits (thanks Hishtagat, you are my filthy assistant) it can only be calahan.
Also:
[Sensori] Clint Eastwood was Cal(l)ahan.
[Sensori] Clint Eastwood was also the man with no name. |
