Get the hatchday mug.by Kenthar October 15, 2003
Get the manageable mug.Another name that people use to disguise themselves. This can be done anywhere, but is usually online because it is hard to identify someone's true name except through their IP address, which isn't foolproof.
Variations on the word are aliasing, the present tense verb form, and aliaser, referring to the actual person hiding behind their false name, whose identity will never change (in online situations).
Aliasing is frowned upon because people may think that you're a new person, or in small-community games where everybody knows everybody, possibly even cheating. People like to get to know a regular client's personality, and develop a friendship or rivalry with them. Aliasing disrupts this, since you never know if you're talking with friend or foe.

Get the brownie points mug.One who aids the clergy in their rituals, by bringing certain items to the table, or carrying the book for them to read. Of recent years, altergirls have been allowed as well.
Despite what everyone says, alterboys are just there to help, as one priest cannot do everything himself. Sometimes there may be a deacon to help when no alterboys are present, but this is not always the case. An astounding 0 reports, suspicions, and accusations combined of alterboy molestation have come to pass in my Church's history.

Considering I WAS an alterboy for two years and was not once molested, I think I'm well experienced to say so.
