1. I can’t attend, so this is purely idle curiosity: will y’all be using real names or noms de League?Report

   1. This is my real name.Report

      1. I dunno about all y’all (and obviously I bailed on LeagueFest so. . . yeah) but I’ve spent so many years using the same pseudonym that I don’t even notice when people call me Plinko in person instead of my “real” name. I have several friends that haven’t used my real name for me in years.Report

   2. Emails regarding this have revealed some inner secrets.

      Once I know the real identity of the one called “Burt Likko”, my master plan can be activated.Report

      1. I hope I benefit from my proximity to the leader!Report

   3. This is actually a really good question. In terms of contributors, I already think of everyone as their actual name.

      If anyone prefers I not utter their name, it would be wise to tell me now so I have time to make the mental adjustments.Report

      1. Heh.  I won’t be there but don’t specifically mind people I’ve come to trust here knowing my name (as I’m sure all the authors do from my email address).  I use handles to avoid people being able to google search me any more than they already can.  The handles I’ve used here also double as real life nicknames, so it wouldn’t seem odd for someone to call me by them, either.Report

      2. Pseudonymous bloggers blog pseudonomyously for various reasons. Mine is, as disclosed, to maintain a tissue of separation between unexpurgated online opinionating and the potential for career advancement. Were I not in an area and a profession where one’s words and thoughts are so carefully scrutinized I’d already be writing under my real name. So you can go ahead and use my real name in real life. Or in private messages.Report

         1. Yea.  What he said.Report

         2. I plan to use my real name in person.Report

   4. I’d planned to use my real name, but I could make up a pseudonym for the occasion.Report

2. That reminds me—Likko, send me an email. I want to sue somebody.

   No, really.  😉Report

   1. Uh… okay.Report

   2. Oh God. It’s me, isn’t it?Report

      1. I’m pretty sure it’s Chevy Chase.  No worries (unless that’s you?  Naah, you’re still funny.)Report

3. I prefer that you use my pseudonym — expect for the fact that it’s the same as my real name and I won’t be there.  But other than that, yeah.Report

4. My wife and I will be there. Look forward to it!Report

5. I’m pretty excited for this!Report

6. I’m so jealous. ;.;Report

7. The main reason I use a pseudonym is because “Scott” was already claimed when I got here. If anyone calls me Boegiboe in person, I will probably giggle.Report

   1. I’m not sure I could pronounce it.Report

   2. Yeah, I’m not sure anyone would get you two mixed up.Report

8. Oh yeah, Cahalan:

   Can we burn down a casino while we’re there?Report
