Maplefan and confirmed sockpuppet Runescapehater were POV pushing for some time on RuneScape and MapleStory, and were checkusered and blocked at 19:02/19:04 UTC on September 27th after an ANI report. Just over 24 hours later, at 21:21 UTC on the 28th (ie, just long enough for an autoblocker to run out), the account Gavegave30 is created, and within 4 minutes has jumped into the debate to endorse Maplefan's position on Talk:RuneScape (diff), and later on Talk:MapleStory (diff), using a similar writing style (for example, neither camelcase 'RuneScape' [1][2]), some familiarity with Wikipedia terms and policies (the word 'cited' for example) and a lot of familiarity with the situation. I strongly suspect another sockpuppet. Thanks! CaptainVindaloo t c e 22:03, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
