====== Kaiser Umberto ======

Joined AH.com in early September 2017. He was mostly active in the [[Shared Worlds:Shared Worlds|Shared Worlds Forum]].

//Not to be confused// with the late board member [[Kaiser K]] or with any other members named Kaiser (save for perhaps Kaiserin Rivka, a banned member known for sockpuppets).

Banned by [[CalBear]] in September 2017, [[https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/hall-of-infamy-the-x-files.410418/page-327#post-15619175|for repeatedly creating sockpuppets to support his posts in SW games or circumvent a kick from the site after he was found out making sockpuppets]]. Yes, not even to circumvent a kick (he initially had none), but to have supportive socks //[[https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/hall-of-infamy-the-x-files.410418/page-483#post-16107849|just because of an SW game]]//. Yikes.

Even after his banning, [[https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/members/kaiser-umberto.105004/|Kaiser Umberto]] kept making new sockpuppets throughout the autumn of 2017, every single one of them getting banned. He didn't even put much effort into his return-to-SW-at-all-costs effort, his sockpuppets always revisiting //the same// few threads he used to frequent or the ones he started.

Some of his sockpuppets include [[https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/hall-of-infamy-the-x-files.410418/page-327#post-15619175|BrightEmber]], Umberto I., [[https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/members/quiet-lyrabon-fan.108725/|QuietLyrabonFan]], [[https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/king-henrys-america-a-congress-infinity-game.424551/page-256#post-16107225|John Matthew]], and no doubt plenty of others. 

One of the more amusing anecdotes about [[https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/hall-of-infamy-the-x-files.410418/page-327#post-15619203|his dogged efforts]] is that he tried to mask one of his sockpuppets (QuietLyrabonFan) by pretending the sock account has... [[https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/king-henrys-america-a-congress-infinity-game.424551/page-252#post-16106169|a stutter]]. Yes, //really//. A //[[https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/king-henrys-america-a-congress-infinity-game.424551/page-252#post-16106203|written stutter]]//. Ungh. Also, something to do with "being [[https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/king-henrys-america-a-congress-infinity-game.424551/page-252#post-16106169|a shy person who doesn't understand how SW works]], what is this kick or ban, is it a bad thing", etc. A real thigh-slapping riot.
