Hello, everyone.

[SpiritThief]

It is I.

Only a handful of you guys will know who I am, but yes, I have returned...in another form. While I might not be very active, I do find interest in certain topics of discussion here.

[Slime Slayer]

Welcome back foo.

[RU Joe]

ST:
It is I.
Wha?
Wait a minute, I thought your name was SpiritThief.
I'm so confused.

But welcome back anyways; why did you leave us in the first place?
Also, which topics interest you?

[SpiritThief]

Thanks for the welcomes. Well, I don't know who either of you are, nor do you know who I am. Nice to meet you guys though.

[Dudebro]

Well don't keep us in suspense, who did you used to be?

Welcome back to RU.

[SpiritThief]

Well don't keep us in suspense, who did you used to be?

Welcome back to RU.

Of ALL people, Unyobro Dubebro, you should be the first one to know. I'm surprised you've already forgotten. Or...is this a test?

[Dudebro]

Nah I honestly haven't figured it out. Obviously you know me though. I'm a little thrown off by you not knowing steven, he's been around for ages.

[SpiritThief]

Nah I honestly haven't figured it out. Obviously you know me though. I'm a little thrown off by you not knowing steven, he's been around for ages.

Wow, I'm surprised now. I figured my strike-through would be enough to trigger a recollection. Oh well, this might be fun now. :)

[Dudebro]

Well all I can think of is you're someone from Xbox.com since I use Unyobro there. Yes? No?

[SpiritThief]

Well, of course. ;)

[DrunkN]

Welcome to you, SpiritThief. Allow the quick-name process to begin and you'll be a regular before you know it. I'm guessing it'll be ST, but there's no one really here with "spirit" or "thief" in their name, so it could just be something like that.

Either way, I'm sure everyone is looking forward to seeing another name on the forums and in the arcade.

[SpiritThief]

Hello, CD. Thanks for the welcome.

[samejamesbond]

Welcome back SpiritThief.
Who else do you remember from your RU days?

[DrunkN]

Hello, CD.
Well alrighty then, that pretty much narrows down the list.

[SpiritThief]

Welcome back SpiritThief.
Who else do you remember from your RU days?

Hmm...I'm not sure if I remember you or not, but there are a few others. Everyone else I remember pretty much still maintains their original user name. It's been quite awhile. And, thanks.

[elrod21]

Welcome SpiritTheif! Sounds like you have been here before so you already know how awesome this place is. :D

[SpiritThief]

Welcome SpiritTheif! Sounds like you have been here before so you already know how awesome this place is. :D

Thanks, elrod21. I'm still waiting for someone to figure out who I am though. Any of the mods could figure it out quite easily.

[elrod21]

Well I'm a Mod and I don't know so it must be before my time. ;)

[SpiritThief]

Well I'm a Mod and I don't know so it must be before my time. ;)

That's very possible. I don't believe I remember you. Nice to meet you, though.

[Dudebro]

I think he means by comparing IPs, not sure if game mods can do that easily. Either way I'd rather not resort to that, it feels like cheating.

Knowing DNs other username and being on xbox.com actually makes me more confused.

[SpiritThief]

I think he means by comparing IPs, not sure if game mods can do that easily. Either way I'd rather not resort to that, it feels like cheating.

I was referring to the email address that was used for registration. I bet you're going to look now, huh?

Knowing DNs other username and being on xbox.com actually makes me more confused.

Well, you certainly don't let just anyone become friends with you on Xbox LIVE. I found that out soon after requesting to become friends with you.

[Dudebro]

Nah like I said I won't cheat it would feel wrong. I'd rather concede defeat and have you tell me.

I've had way too many random invites on Live so I'm selective.

[SpiritThief]

I've had way too many random invites on Live so I'm selective.

Exactly. I AM your friend. In fact, it's the same user name as this one. Gee, if you don't know by that hint, you'll most likely never figure it out. At that point, I'd have to wonder if you are the real Unyobro.

[Dudebro]

Well now it makes sense. I didn't recognize this name because you only became my friend on Live very recently. What really threw me off was calling me unyobro as if that's how you mainly know me, it's not. You've known me as dudebro for years. Shenanigans.

Now we'll see if DN can figure it out. Or we can wait for cam to come in and ruin the fun by blurting it out.

[SpiritThief]

The only reason I dropped the unyobro hint was because, if I didn't, you would have never, ever guessed who I was. Ever.

Now we'll see if DN can figure it out. Or we can wait for cam to come in and ruin the fun by blurting it out.

DN won't figure it out unless someone tells him, or he has access to view member email addresses. Cam, maybe...if he pays more attention to his friends on Xbox LIVE.

[Dudebro]

Nah if you would've given me better clues I would've got it. Just saying you used to post here and you know me isn't much help.

[SpiritThief]

Nah if you would've given me better clues I would've got it. Just saying you used to post here and you know me isn't much help.

I gave the best clues I could think of without giving myself away. Really, I don't know what other clues I could have given without spilling the beans.

[Dudebro]

If those were the best you could think of you're not very good at this. You could've mentioned how much you love Nintendo.

[wanman]

Welcome back, a very interesting re-introduction.

[SpiritThief]

If those were the best you could think of you're not very good at this.

It's truly my first time doing this. So, yeah, I'll admit I'm not good at this at all.

You could've mentioned how much you love Nintendo.

Well, well, well. You may have just given my true identity away. Let's see what happens next, shall we?

Welcome back, a very interesting re-introduction.

Hmm...I don't know you (at least I don't think so). Thanks for the welcome. Nice to meet you.

[Demon-Mask]

Welcome or, uh, welcome back.
We've not bet before regardless.

[SpiritThief]

Welcome or, uh, welcome back.
We've not bet before regardless.

I think you're right. I don't remember you either, DM. Nice to meet you.

[Dudebro]

Well, well, well. You may have just given my true identity away.
It's not that revealing on a site like this, most of us love Nintendo.

[SpiritThief]

It's not that revealing on a site like this, most of us love Nintendo.

Hmm...maybe it's best that I didn't mention that then. You're right. That wouldn't have been very revealing. I really don't know what else to say then.

[ZedIsDead]

Well, this is a real head-scratcher. You know both Dudebro and drunkninja's alternate usernames, but you don't know very many people on the forum. Interesting.

By the way, welcome back to RU.

Ahh...I do know you though. The plot thickens. ;)

[Dudebro]

To thicken the plot, he also knows you pretty well NT!

Edit- he ninjaed me

[SpiritThief]

To thicken the plot, he also knows you pretty well NT!

I was right. This IS fun!

Edit- he ninjaed me

Love the pun.

[ZedIsDead]

At least your Mii no longer has lipstick on it.

[SpiritThief]

At least your Mii no longer has lipstick on it.

You're a much better detective than Dudebro.

[ZedIsDead]

If I hadn't remembered you mentioning that your Live handle was SpiritThief, I would have never guessed. I suck at these.

[SpiritThief]

Now let's see if the handful of others that have seen me before, can figure out the mystery. You know, the ones that are lurking this thread in the background, scratching their heads.

[Dudebro]

At least your Mii no longer has lipstick on it.
If I recall correctly I was the one to bring that up. Either way it amuses me.

[SpiritThief]

If I recall correctly I was the one to bring that up. Either way it amuses me.

Nope. I vividly remember who brought that up. Unlike you, I've got great recollection. ;)

[Dudebro]

I must be confused with another time I made fun of your Mii, my mistake.

[SpiritThief]

I must be confused with another time I made fun of your Mii, my mistake.

Probably so, but you weren't the first one to bring it up. I must say though, after all the jokes, that it did look like I slapped some ladystick on.

[Kugyince]

I know! I know!

I cheated though.... :(

[SpiritThief]

I know! I know!

I cheated though.... :(

The curiosity of a human, is inevitable. How are you, Tenser?

As for the others who I remember, who can't cheat, they'll probably never know. Time will test the rest.

Unless you've changed your name, I definitely don't remember you. In that case, you're one of the ones who will never be able to solve this mystery.

[DrunkN]

DB already said who you were in this thread though.

[SpiritThief]

DB already said who you were in this thread though.

Did he?

[DrunkN]

Did he?
No, no, he didn't. He said NT, my mistake.

[SpiritThief]

No, no, he didn't. He said NT, my mistake.

Oh boy, I can still see your oat loops.

EDIT: Wait, what just happened here. Did you just post an image of oat loops, while I was replying with my oat loops comment? Weird...

I see we like to drop similar hints here.

[SpiritThief]

I see we like to drop similar hints here.

I feel confidant that you now, indeed know who I am. Good job. Now, for the others...

[samejamesbond]

I'm starting to get a feel for who you are, but I don't want to say anything yet.

[KATZ]

Hurray i have no clue ^_^

[SpiritThief]

I'm starting to get a feel for who you are,

I doubt it.

but I don't want to say anything yet.

Why not drop a hint without spoiling it then?

Hurray i have no clue ^_^

You're right...too new here.

[DrunkN]

I feel confidant that you now, indeed know who I am. Good job. Now, for the others...
There's a slim few who would use both names "cheffdonty" and "unyobro", not trip our recurring IP detectors, and actually come to RU.

I see where you went with it, but, I don't know. It's hard for me to get ramped up about a mystery when so much is dropped on the first day. Then again, I'm in a good position to understand them all.

[KATZ]

acctually im not technically.... i was here on day one but around like 2007 i became obssesed with my xbox and never got on the pc after that till like last year so yeah XD

[DrunkN]

You're right...too new here.
I believe KATZ has been here longer than most people have, including DB.

What does tripping the "recurring IP detectors," have anything to do with me showing up?

Wow, you're right. You aren't new by any means. I looked at your name, then your post count, and assumed that you were new. My apologies. Nice to meet you.

[DrunkN]

It means that you aren't a regular member just pulling a practical joke, or something.

I also meant that I thought you were taking this identity thing all a little fast, but I guess other people are still out of the know as to who you are.

[KATZ]

yeah, my old post were deleted over time so it went down to 0 but yeah its nice to meet you too :D

[SpiritThief]

It means that you aren't a regular member just pulling a practical joke, or something.

Oh, I see what you mean now. Well, IPs could be very easily hidden or changed by anyone here. For me though, I have no purpose in doing such a thing.

I also meant that I thought you were taking this identity thing all a little fast, but I guess other people are still out of the know as to who you are.

I still don't understand that. It's simple; I was gone, then I re-appeared with a new account. It's as simple as that. I mean, I'm just replying to new posts. Is that what you mean by "a little fast?"

[samejamesbond]

I was a noob when you were around and we talked about games.
Let's just say CONGRATULATION on coming back.

[SpiritThief]

I was a noob when you were around and we talked about games.

Hmm...I'm not convinced that you know who I am. I mean, we ARE on a gaming site, are we not? You'll have to come up with something better I'm afraid.

Let's just say CONGRATULATION on coming back.

Thank you.

[samejamesbond]

Then I guess I have no idea.

[SpiritThief]

Then I guess I have no idea.

Wait a second. Don't give up so quickly. Maybe we HAVE talked on here before, with my other user name. Without saying it though, do you remember the other user name? That, would indeed, seal the deal.

[RU Joe]

Way to milk this thing, ST = this is actually fairly interesting to be honest.
Also I have no idea who you really are, but I have a couple of guesses:

Hello, person I don't know. It's nice to meet you. And, thanks.

Yeah, I am. So, why can't you just let me have fun? This is MY thread.

Also, you know Tails. Don't try to mislead everyone else.

Loser.

You're such a dork. Also, I'm about ready to out you. It's getting annoying.

[SpiritThief]

Also, I'm about ready to out you. It's getting annoying.

Then go away. Wait! You're still curious about the others huh? Yes, yes...the curiosity of a human is inevitable. Where have I heard tha-...nevermind. Let me be. Don't out me.

I am curious to know if the others can figure out who I am though, regardless of the information that was given already.

[DrunkN]

Yes, I don't remember much about how seriously you take things to be honest.

[SpiritThief]

Yes, I don't remember much about how seriously you take things to be honest.

Well, definitely not this thread. The only member who has taken this serious so far is ninjatiamat.

[ZedIsDead]

I am curious to know if the others can figure out who I am though, regardless of the information that was given already.

At this point, I really doubt anyone else will know. Quite a few of the old-timers are mods, and we all know who you are(since it was posted in the mod section).

Can't be anyone else.

You left when I was a noob, what's with the sudden return?

[SpiritThief]

It's NintendoNerds.

Based on the information presented, there's no way you could know this. I'm curious to know who gave it away to you.

You left when I was a noob, what's with the sudden return?

Do I need a reason?

By the way, I was expecting a picture of my lipstick Mii upon the unveiling. I need an avatar ya know...

[samejamesbond]

You kidding? There was more than enough.

Lipstick Mii and love of Nintendo.
I put 2 and 2 together.

Edit: As I said before, we did talk about video games:

Thanks to everyone's participation, I now have the most-replied to welcome topic in the history of RU. Technically, it's tied at 107, but I know someone else will eventually reply if this doesn't get locked. I guess I can say I'm pretty proud of that. I'm not sure why but I guess so. I must admit, this was a pretty fun thread. It actually feels nice to see some of these faces again. Of the faces I remember, it's even better to know that you're still here, doing what you love.
