Evidence

User editing in the same types of articles (MMORPG articles) in which the original puppetter was ~~banned~~ indef blocked but assuming a de facto ban (for previous sockpuppetry as well as spamming). See [1] and [2].

Comments

Conclusions

Definite sockpuppets.

Admiralxgmx and 24.171.0.229 are linked by their behavior at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ackuron where they made basicaly identical comments "keep.--" and "keep--" within three minutes of each other.
- 24.171.0.229 seems to be outside of his normal range but it is quite possible that (s)he is on vacation, as it is the holidays.
Admiralxgmx and Xgmx are linked by the similarity in their names (which seems to be a pattern in Xgmx's socks, see Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Xgmx) as well as similar interests.
All three acounts listed have edited articles that the others have edited, within hours of each other for Admiralxgmx and the IP.

I have blocked Admiralxgmx (talk · contribs) indefinitly and 24.171.0.229 (talk · contribs) for two weeks (and not longer because if he is on vacation he will not be using it for very long) for block evasion and vote stacking. Icewedge (talk) 19:16, 5 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
